Singleton M. Tate Poems

Created from greed and put out by man, a mixture of poison to enslave
our land. A plague of sorts and now on the rise, cocaine, heroin,
crack and others by disguise. Pills and paint seems like anything
will do, to ease the pain that lurks so deeply inside of you.
...

I started out knowing right from wrong.
I was brought up in church,
singing the Lord's Songs.
I saw the devil was after me.
...

Trauma and Drama, Heartache and Sorrow,
the Family reigns supreme, in these kinds of things.
Born of a woman, so fragile and small,
with a strong man waiting to provide for you all.
...

She's cool under fire, so turn up the heat.
When it's hot and heavy, her inner voice speaks.
Not a trouble, not a care, she's one of a kind.
Never the worse for wear, invincible with time.
...

See me a... Viper.
'The Piped Piper
of Evy and Strife'
A Hater... I'll be
...

I make this toast.
As I boast in the
reality of my plan,
To foil you again.
...

I can't...

Fly beyond my own limitations
Find fault with others reservations
...

My life's in the closet,
Not down the tubes...
For I refuse to look into
that proverbial mirror,
...

There you are my long lost friend
I've been looking for you
yet here you've always been
...

The clouds, the sky should tell me all.
I look deep within and still I fall.
Fall short of what I'm supposed to be
a caring loving individual,
...
