Your Blue Has Me Wearing Black & Infinite Possibilities

Poems by Sharmin Gibson-Joseph

Your Blue Has Me Wearing Black

I’m so tired, tired but God says, don’t be weary in well-doing

I’m not doing well

All ain’t well with my soul

This world takes a toll and wants me to pay the toll

How can I pay when I’m spent? 

I’ve lent and you’ve taken all the bacon

My God has not forsaken

He has given, things that can’t be taken

In the meantime how, how can I be angry and sin not?

Sin not?

I’m angry and in a knot 

How can you not?

How can you not see, I’m, he, we are human beings be?

One head, one head

Two arms, two arms

Two legs, two legs

One heart? One heart?

Skin is the only thing in the game

And this game is beyond lame

I’m tired of being a tiger to be tamed, I want to shoot flames!

Tired, tired

I know only He can give me rest but God on this planet I would settle for peace

Infinite Possibilities

Infinite possibilities is what we have when we are born 

Yes, when we are shot straight out of the va-jay-jay 

Infinite possibilities is the declaration of rights before the writers knew what was right or wrong or left

Infinite possibilities lead to a multitude of multidimensional parallel universes

The type of love that Picard, the entire Star Trek universe, Star Wars, George Lucas

The anything, anything that was ever anything before Rod Sterling knew who he was!

Infinite possibilities, it’s found in Genesis, it’s the world void and He spoke it into something, Infinite possibilities

You think, I think, we think they, think we made it infinite possibilities !

Infinite possibilities and never-ending heart wrenching, gut-clenching, never-ending pain in the possibilities

Infinite possibilities make black, but are African-American but black because I am South American by way of Amerindian by way of Egypt by way of infinite possibilities

By way of your future so bright you got wear shades? No your future so small you don’t know how you could be tall! Send me to the Twilight Zone

These Legos look like a simple endzone that make, make, make, make, make, make, make you so simple you could hop a pimple and thank you Dr. Pimple Popper!

Infinite possibilities, infinite possibilities, makes you think Elon Musk and you just saw mouth full of dust! Infinite possibilities! Infinite possibilities, make us dance and hop and skip Kiki are you riding?

Infinite possibilities, infinite possibilities, make your vision so small you think it’s tall when you're an ant! Infinite possibilities make you think that 9/11 was a hoax! Infinite possibility, makes you think that you’re the most!

Infinite possibility means you can’t hold a Bible right (for the record it was upside down and backward) it means that the alt-right is right

It means that the homegrown terrorist is the amazing Karen! 

She thinks she wins Infinite possibilities, Infinite possibilities it’s the song that never ends

You’re so dumb, you’re smart! Oh, you’re so stupid till you’re smart Infinite possibilities, makes you think you’re an eagle or a hawk when your just chicken picking and eating its own shit!

Thinking that you are smart 

Infinite possibilities, Infinite possibilities,

You know I know that you’re not telling the truth!

Psych! 

Infinite possibilities!
