The First Lie, A Poem

It was that first lie that introduced you to a life of sin,
It was that first lie that broke something deep within;
for when you lie, you deceive yourself, family and friends,
because you have cheated them into never trusting in you again,
because when you cheat – the opposition cannot defend,
because you have stacked the Deck to where only you win,
Therefore, when you cheat you take: though none is the wiser,
now, the silent man within has a criminal for an advisor.
You’re in the big league now -for- when you take you are now labeled a thief,
So welcome yourself to the gateway of criminality of regret and grief.
for, there is no love for what’s has been given birth to by a lie,
these are the A-moral /antisocial questions that approach you when getting high.
As your painless conscience return from its drugged induced abyss,
You welcome the love and hope therein back into your midst.
with the fork in the road of conscience now upon you,
the future of the choice you now make is clearly in view.
So turn your moral clock back and correct those silly Lie’s,
and allow the return of your family and friends smile’s to be your eternal prize.
As you now realize that excuses and lies are for the immature state of mind,
You can now began to cultivate conscience of truth and leave that life behind.
So, welcome yourself back to a life without sin,
Where the Deck is never stacked and we all win.

THE MESSAGE IS ALWAYS CLEAR, A Poem

I, write this poem with an objective in mind,
If the message do not reach your senses that’ll be just fine,
When strangers meet, some depart as friends,
Totally oblivious to the elements within.
When the friendship delivers the road of truth,
We ask ourselves what sign’s did I Miss and who are you.
As we equivocate from the deep emotions inside,
We trick ourselves into sabotaging the precious prize.
The prize that we know should have been,
now float’s aimlessly in the breeze of sin.
As fragments of the precious prize return,
We deepens our conscience in an effort to learn.
For, consequences is a must in the face of the truth,
and excuses are not an option when you deny you.
So, let us be true to ourselves when the truth abounds,
That way the message is always clear and never move’s around.

Another World

Breaking and Shaking in the grip’s of shattered screams,
like fish in water, I’m caught up in evils vicious beam,
Trying to shake this curse, I’m looking from terror to fright,
I mean from left to right, but there’s no peace in this black light.
“Well,” try turning around and watch things get worst,
Can you see the grotesque eyes’ of demons in that contorted Hurst ?
Is it real or is it evilcidal fantasies on ride?
My elevating pulse rate began to shutter, searching for depths to hide,
I’m in the fight or flight concept with fist trembling by my side,
Mounting perspiration begin’s to flow with drop’s of pride,
throwing down I refuse to be a victim to my soul’s homicide,
Keeping my mental focus, no one knows if this is my plight,
Dear sweet creator, if is please don’t let me die tonight!?

THE LAST CRIME, A Poem by Alexander Cameron

Be the first person to commit the last crime,
While in the midst of making a honest dime – and –
Don’t sweat the thought’s that visit you from the sidelines – but –
rather sweat the troubling thought’s of doing hard time -and-
don’t get caught up in evils glitter games and scheme’s,
simply because your friends played the game for a nice ride and some serious bling .
So, as jealousy and envy pervades your thoughts,
Hold true to your integrity, because real man can’t be brought.
Therefore, as you stay strong and squeaky clean,
You’ll never have to witness Ms Karma, lay waste to your precious dreams.
So, as wisdom continue to teach: wrong can never be right,
the truth always take back what’s hers no matter how vicious the fight.
So, as you continue to learn from the failure’s of your missing friends,
Remember, it was that flash in the pan that introduced them to their end.
So, keep that smile on your face as you make it through your Teens and in – Betweens.
as you understand it was your Mother’s love that protected your dream’s.
So, relax a little in the lap of knowing your future will be just fine -but-
Always remember you made it through because you were the first person to commit the last crime.

Mental Health, Hopelessness, Depression, and Despair: You Are Not the Sin.

MENTAL HEALTH IS THE TOPIC,
NOW ALLOW ME TO ROCK IT.

Mental Health, Hopelessness, Depression and Despair, you are not the sin,
You are sometimes just misunderstood on your acceptance as a friend.
Mental Health is a friend and guide to help you heal inside,
She’s not evil’s prize come to take you to the other side.
Relax’s and understand Hopelessness is just a distant relative of despair,
Introducing you to hard times, so you can find out who you are.
Depression is no more than an emotion trapped inside of an illusion,
Expressing an array of feelings while searching for a conclusion.
But first things first, allow me to introduce Myself,
My name is “Alexander Cameron,” and of course you are Mental Health,
My vernacular is very sharp and cunning, How about yourself?
Mental Telepathy is how I roll, I think y’all call it Top Shelf!
Well, Mr. Top Shelf, Gun Violence has you labeled as a crisis,
Pay attention my son, its called politicians making sacrifices,
Y’all call it splitting hairs, we call it word splices,
You know, that lip service, that has you and yours on drugs and reaching for vices.
Check it: Japan say Guns on the streets are just simply dumb,
Her deaths through gun violence in 2022 is absolutely none,
Now, America, you know you are just too through,
Death’s through gun violence has you at Four Hundred Fifty Thousands in the year 2022.
America’s relationship with Mental Health knows no truth,
Mental Health, you are expendable and less than an excuse,
At lease there’s a silver lining, you are not responsible for the youth,
Who has their parents turning back the clock, looking for a clue,
To free their kid’s from this paranoid maze of deceit,
That has their minds trapped in what appears to be certain defeat;
Listen Children;
Your problems are yours to confront, but first you must understand,
No life is without problems, they go hand in hand.
Ultimately your problems are yours to face and yours to Solve,
Excuses are for cowards, get yourself Involved.
Some problems are easy peesy and some are very
hard,
but, its only when you try solving them, that you can tell yourself Good Job.
So, America, let us all give Mental Health her due: because;
No one is responsible for your happiness but you and only you.
