My Poetry Chronicles



Our Love
Like a baby living contained by its mother, two hearts beating together within one
Our love is very much the same; our two hearts are pulsating within one love
Anticipation of its health and perfection abrade us as our emergent love enlarges
Discomfort, change, and pain organize as the loves grows and develops
We wait and wait for the blessed day which seems at times to be an eternity
While we wait the discomfort is eased by a movement of existence
The changing is as if the body of love is being protected and nourished
Nine months is the time for a child to bring joy to the mother
Time, discomfort, change, and pain all precedes the most wonderful joy
For us that most wonderful joy will come bringing us a lifetime of loving ecstasy
By Christopher Darrick Odom



The ocean of my life
The ocean is vast, immense and majestic. It envelopes our sphere
The immensity of your soul splendidly swathed my essence
The ocean is deep, cavernous and profound. Its depth seem endless
Your love, my love, our love together will challenge its infiniteness
The ocean is power, dominance and supremacy. So soft and yet so perilous
The danger would be to live without your affectionate and intoxicating sprit
The ocean cresses rejuvenate and refreshes. It’s the basics of all life
You conveyed life into me, revitalized my sprit and invigorated my soul
You my dearest, You truly have become my ocean and I wish to swim in the vast, majestic, endless supreme cresses of your love till eternity.

My life
I am like the seed of a dandelion who is taken by the breeze
At the whim of the breeze I am lofted far from home across the land
My future is uncertain and I am frighten and full of quandaries
The breeze whisk me higher above the clouds into temperatures I can’t withstand
I think there for I am, or am I … I breath therefore I live, or do I
All of my senses are working but I find that breeze controls me thus I’m on standby

The breeze eventually releases me and delicately lay me upon a lake
At the caprice of the lake I am driven even farther by its strong connotation
The current seize me and my prospect is bleak and again I forsake
From the lake I go to a river to a stream soaked beyond my aspiration
I think there for I am, or am I … I breath therefore I live, or do I
All of my senses are working but I find that current controls me thus I’m on standby

The stream introduces me to a stone, sopping I stick and the sun begins its roasting
At the whim of the sun I am ripened my voyage seemingly terminates
I an held to the stone I’m unable to move and fear my destiny is composting
My mind now travels to where I’ve been and what I’ve seen as my time negates
I think there for I am, or am I … I breath therefore I live, or do I
All of my senses are working but I find that sun controls me thus I’m on standby

I’d thought therefore I’d subsisted, or did I… I’d breathed therefore I’d existed, or did I
I’ve seen, I’ve tasted, I’ve heard, I’ve smelled and I’ve touched yet never managed
I never reached my budding or purpose I fear I have done nothing, or did I
Great distances and heights I’ve attained, powerful forces drove me yet was it bondage
I no longer think there for I was, or was I … I no longer breathe therefore I lived or did I
All of my senses stopped working and I find that death controls me thus I’m on standby

THE REWARD OF SINCERITY

     I was sincere in love. I was honest, devoted, and I invested all of my time and energy to make the union work. You in spite of my favor saw me as feeble and week. What breed of man is kind, honest, and devoted, unless he is week, You would state just prior to letting me go.
     Why is it you complain they you can't ever find a man. You always say, " all the good ones are married". You declare you want a man who is sensitive, caring, and honest, a man who can show his true feelings. When I come along, you can't deal with my sincerity, and you leave me all alone.
     I often wonder what it is you truly want. I see you with men that beat you, lie to you, cheat on you, and you never leave, yet
my reward for sincerity is loneliness and pain.

THE PLEAD OF A CLOWN

     People laugh at me, make fun of me, push me around, kick me when I'm down.  They like to see me cry, nobody takes me seriously.  My pain is their pleasure, they find humor in my humility, they laugh at my love.
     I am not hurt by the actions of the people, for I am a clown.  It's my job to have the masses laugh at me.  What really hurts me is that people no longer feel the need t seek me out to relieve their frustrations.  They now laugh at real pain.
     When humility is true, they laugh.  When love is real, they laugh.  When someone is truly down, they kick as hard as they can.  The laughter now heard in generated from genuine pain.  The laughter now heard is generated from genuine pain.  This laughter is causing much more grieve to the person that is hurting.
     Why must we make clowns of those who suffer?  WHAT AM I FOR?

GOD WORKS FROM SUNUP TO SUNDOWN


We have one hell of a time when the sun is shinning and everything is going right.
  We have no respect for life and limb.
    Life is just one big reckless party.
      God, why he is someone suckers and fools believe in.


When the sun goes down and we find everything is looking dark with no way out,
    we go running to him for help.
  God works from sunup to sun down.  

      ONLY WHEN WE NEED HIM, WE CALL.

          GOD DAMN I FEEL GOOD
          GOD HELP I FEEL BAD

Let's Kill the Babies

     I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.

      It is statements like this that not only chaps my hide but also lends me to befall assault.  Conservative commentator William J. Bennett made this statement on his national radio talk show.  I tend to have and maintain a great poker face when talking with people because of my conservative views.  This poker face caused me great pain when I first heard of Heir Bennett’s’ statement.  The first I heard of this statement came from my mother.  Upon telling me of Heir Bennett’s’ statement she looked at me and asked what I think about it.  Thus appeared my poker face.  She then stated that I believed his statement.  My poker face came from my disbelief that someone would state something like this and not retract is.  "We are not going to back down from our views, and I'm not going to apologize," a combative Bennett said.  The other reason for my poker face was that I didn’t know about it.   I being an information junkie and one who listens to talk radio in the car rather than booming my radio to annoy the other drivers with loud music, I haven’t been feeding my info habit for a long time because the news has been so detrimental to my mental health since the hurricanes and the Iraq war.  The last reason for my poker face was that I wanted to say things that would cause a gang banging, hard drinking, Hells Angel to blush.  It is extremely hard for me to write this with using derogatory verbage.  Most people how know me intimately knows I don’t use such language.  
     A conservative by definition is one who preserves an principle.  I am not a conservative to conserve the principles of idiotic men or a certain political party.  I want to preserve the Idea of the Constitution that all men are created equal.  I want to preserve the Idea that working hard and not seeking hand outs to get what you want.  I want to preserve the Ten Commandments and the moral basic truths of this world.  Liberal by definition is one who thinks that everything is permissible or appropriate for a person of free birth,
thus sitting on fences to follow the sway of the populist.  I was just recently asked to lower my standards as if having high expectations is too much for people today.  I have been saying what Bill Cosby said years before he came out and stated: "People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around. ... The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting.  "Brown versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back. ... They are standing on the corner and they can't speak English.," he said, addressing an audience of Washington VIPs
Conservative, n: A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal who wishes to replace them with others.
Ambrose Bierce
      I am a card carrying conservative because I do have basic moral values.  I am not a card carrying Idiot.  What is a political party?  The Republican Party is the party of Lincoln, the man who freed the slaves.  It is also the party of George Bush Jr. who has us in a war because of weapons of mass destruction, so he says.  The Democratic Party is the party of Kennedy a wealthy man and the party of Clinton who now is seen holding hands with Bush Sr. making more money than he did as president..  It is also the party of Truman who dropped the WMD on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, speaking of WMD’s.  Speaking of alliances look at Prime Minister Blair friend of Clinton went to bed with Bush Jr. and found himself in difficulty.  Go to sleep with leeches and wake up drained.  If it is true that we are a government of the people and by the people, I say parties be damn and we should vote the incumbents out until they realize we are suppose to be in control.  Political Conservatives are liberally defending Heir Bennett’s statement by trying to qualify them.  Bill O’Reilly stated “I feel sorry for Bennett”  I am a card carrying conservative to preserve the values of this planet not to stride a fence to graze in the yard that has the greener grass today.
      I’m not writing about me however, I’m writing to say if I believe what Heir Fuhrer Bennett has stated and will not retract.  Of the men and women behind bars 2003, 910,200 were black; 777,500 were white and 395,400 were Hispanic, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.  Maybe Heir Fuhrer is correct in his statement but just like all history that which is fact can be customized to suite the writer of history.  Given these numbers, aborting all black babies, however "morally reprehensible" to suggest, could bring about the biggest reduction in the number of crimes that are committed in this country.  The Bureau of Justice Statistics' figures represent only those who were jailed for a crime. But according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports, more than twice as many whites as blacks (6.7 million to 2.6 million) were arrested in 2003 for committing a crime. Whites made up 70.6% of all people arrested that year and 60.5% of those arrested for violent crime. Blacks totaled 27.0% of all arrests and accounted for 37.2% of the people arrested for committing a violent crime.  Truth, reality and history are something that rarely are combined.
     Heir Fuhrer Bennett is
correct if history was incorrect because Hitler was a black person.  Heir Fuhrer Bennett is correct if history was incorrect because Jim Jones was a black person.  Heir Fuhrer Bennett is correct if history was incorrect because the Son of Sam, Charles Manson, Mark O. Barton, Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck.-- The Lonely Hearts Killers,  David Berkowitz, Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolka , Kenneth Bianchi & Angelo Buono, Ted Bundy and the list goes on, are all black.  Heir Fuhrer Bennett is correct if history was incorrect because the corporate raiders who have stolen millions form the public are all black. Three percent of the population will be able to retire when they want, with who they want and how they want while ninety seven percent will retire depending on family, friends and the government to survive.  For the majority the prospects are bleak.  The politicians and those like Heir Fuhrer Bennett are among the three percent!


"It severely hurt people mentally as well as physically.... The real issue is not what happened, but what we should do for the future..."

                 Mr. Takashi Hiraoka, the Mayor of Hiroshima City
