(A particle of a messed up equation, in relation, to wanting to indulge and holding back your transgression.)
An aspect of a freaked up life When you're dealing with real life Indulging in the forbidden Taboo Boowho Maybe have to keep it hidden Temptation Tempting us in all our relation So it is my summation That I'm going to maintain control And keep hold Of my affairs So that my affairs Won't control me Sometimes it's hard to be free Freedom means being tempted And to this no one is exempted

New Poetry by OnepoetGem *the Poetic Rapper

I once heard this preacher say, "I''ll preach out of a paper bag if I have to." I feel the same about verse.

Paper Bag Poet

From the wishing well, minusing the devil''s hell.

I Wish U Well

Roses are red, thorns prick instead, depending on the head, or what is later on said.

Thorns End

The world is full of angry pissed off people everywhere, here and there, and some really don''t care. They have anger to spare.

Pissed Off People

Life is a sweet and sour affair, so take a deep breath and find some fresh air, that is if you dare or really care.

Deliver Us From Evil

We need oxygen, aka air, no matter what it needs to be there, however life at times isn't fair.

Lung Answer

and likes, whatever! Oh yes, the racist and bigots are here too, just like in regular society.

Peoples Dislikes

"Be happy for what you escape!" A Trask quote got me to thinking, and inking.
