Emmanuel Barlow Poems

spoke to God last night and asked him to keep me from all temptation
See because prayer doent inform God it simply invites him into the situation
and not to mention makes a stronger connection
So We began to speak of the thorn in my side and these times of inflation
...

Out of the dust of life’s trial and pain
Come forth organizations that were said to have no gain.
See it is the it is the teaching of their past that have brought them to the present
And have given them hope for the future far beyond the heavens.
...

Why is it that we can accept red and orange sunsets,
But when we see a black man with a white woman. They become suspect
Why does their complexion even matter
Can we please stop all the chitter chatter
...

When you look at me what do you see?
A hood rat, a thug, a nothing and that what ill always be?
Did it ever occur to you that i just need a little direction?
But you keep it moving because i don't pass your visual inspection
