The Cynic’s Love

Written by C Hues

December 1, 2021

                                        Love is like a chemistry lab
					Love is rolling seven after six
					Love is being black to catch a cab
					Love is just the latest fix

					Love’s a word you use for like
					Love is a sarcastic slight
					Deadly as a lightning strike
					Love’s the other side of spite

					Love is pet names that you hate
					Dare not tell it to your mate
					Love is seeing your name carried
					Kids who love you after you’ve been buried

POWER OF THE VOICELESS

Written by C Hues

November 29, 2021

There is POWER in my Voice, Yes /
Don’t consider it a weapon /
The pen is sword and shield, my protection /
Just like how we must mask to fight against Corona /
At Last, the writing has awakened my Persona /
I take a Stand, and hatch a Bizarre Plan /
I’m like Clark Kent, suitin’ up to strike the Klan /
From Rosa to Recy, I’ll make sure they see me /
Celia didn’t die in vain; the pain will free us /
They hated us for centuries, couldn’t be us so they beat us /
I was destined to lead, since before I was a fetus /
So meet us with some empathy or stay your ass home /
The time is mine; I shine like Ali—never call him Clay /
The oppressed make history, each and every day /
Now, whether you’re an atheist or all you do is pray /
Keep Moving Ahead cause you’re a King, defeat can never come your way.

The Hero Version 2

Written by C Hues

November 29, 2021


Jack idolized his teacher
A writer who never lied
But each one of his books
Were really plagiarized
			
They say never meet your heroes
That’s why all of mine are dead
Do your secrets keep you restless?
Steady shouting in your head

Jane met her favorite player
The nicest man in Pro Golf
When asking for his autograph
The player said, “Fuck off”

They say never meet your heroes
That’s why all of mine are dead
Do your secrets keep you restless?
Steady shouting in your head

James had to be a singer
His favorite band he heard
Led him to their concert
Where lips did not match words
