old school poetry

old school poetry

I don't need to get in to fit in
because its no purpose on trying to fit in.

I stand out like a sore thumb
just to make these doubters feel dumb

your swag is dead while my faith is alive
I may be quiet but I have an outspoken mind
its a new semester but I'm on the same old grind
with God on my side and this Degree on my mind
God's love is precious while your love is blind

who said Autistic people can't spit the truth
they never knew what I went through.
I ride solo for a reason so I don't need a crew
I only need God and my fam yea thats true

my generation needs to stay strong
and stop doing whats wrong
its bad enough some of them are gone
because of petty crimes and tryin to be stoned

to all the doubters who wish failure on me
I'm still standing firm as you can see
I have an old school mind inside this young body
thats why I have to give yall some of this old school poetry

my deepest thoughts(Mind of an Mild Autistic educated brotha)


Lord, I come to you as a young mild autistic young man in need of your guidance, I pray that you keep my younger brother Dallis in your hands and from trouble because I refuse to see him get into trouble like most young guys his age, guide and clean his heart so he can be the better man that You want him to be, I don't want him to lived the life I did and Lord clean my heart and keep me in Your hands, no weapon formed against me and my family shall prosper



To be real I don't need to explain myself about certain things, if people don't believe me and think I'm like most dudes then thats their lost because they are blinded by society's foolishness, I know who I am and I'm tryin to be the man that the Lord wants me to be.

This is how I've been feeling lately

people can talk about me all they want
people can try to expose and put dirt on my name
people can call me slow, ugly, or retarded
people can call me anti-social
but they NEVER can say that Jesus don't me
but when nobody cared He still loved me
*in the words of Smokie Norful broken but healed*

Kingdom Girl 2


I was born to make you smile
because I hate to see you down
the world wants to see you frown
but God blessed you with your style

baby I love the way you are
God created you like a star
as long we're with Him
we will go far

You beautiful virtuous queen
you're the woman of my dreams
so loving and so clean
so nice and never mean

like Christ your love is unconditional
you are amditionous and indescrible
you're God's diamond and my pearl
you beautiflul Kingdom Girl

Danger: A cool educated mild autistic poetic black man(non-rhyming)


I'm a real man who will admit that I have a lot of issues
who makes mistakes,
who is not perfect,
who knows how to respect a lady
but besides all that I know that despite what others think
Jesus still loves me
who despite having mild autism is still gettin my college degree
I refuse to put up with foolishness because I'm beyond that
thats why I go by these three F's : Faith, Foundation, and Family
Faith that I can do all things through Christ 
Be a Foundation for my struggling but strong generation
and Family because like God most of them love me unconditionally

from the mind of
Damon Darrell Dukes 

Thank You Lord


when I'm down the Lord lifts me up
when no one cared He loved me
when my so called friends left me in the cold,He became my friend
when I cry, He wiped my tears away
when I feel alone,He walks with mewhen I make mistakes, He covers me
when I do wrong, He forgives me
Thank You Lord for loving and blessing me!!!

Reggie White: Forever and Ever Amen

the minister of defense

Tony Dungy shares why today's youth struggle

this is very true

Pray and worship together

Brake up to Make up - The Stylistics

The Chi-lites "Have you seen her"

Darlin' Darlin' Baby(Sweet,Tender,Love)- The O'Jays

When I look into you eyes

when I look into your eyes
I see nothin but tears
from boys who made up lies
and brought you nothing but fear
he don't treat you like a lady
but rather as another sex toy
he treats you just like another shawty
and loves when you get smashed by his boys
baby you are worth more than that
because God created you
and whoever don't love you for you
must be too much of a fool
you don't have to be a bad chick
nor a dude's lil mama
because you are precious as a jewel
and don't need the drama 
you're the diamond in God's eyes
you're more priceless than pearls
I gotta love you for you
you beautiful Kingdom Girl

when I look into your eyes
I see a natural woman 
who's not worth the lies
but is worth for somethin'
who keeps it educated 
and always dedicated
who's blessed in many ways
and who's never overrated
you prosper on purpose
just to make other chicks nervous
you don't have to be a dime piece
to be with a good man
just know that you're created to be virtuous
and that is God's plan

you are loved by God and thats no lie
thats what I know when I look into your eyes

Madea - let folks go

Everything is Gonna Be Alright

Sounds of Blackness - I Believe

my favorite Sounds of Blackness song of all-time

Donald Lawrence & Co.- Happy Being Me

the song says enough

underground poet flow aka D3 strikes again

they say love is blind because of their suspensions 
but they are blinded by their love with their conditions
God's love is 20/20 vision like some contact lenses
that's why His love has no restrictions

I don't need money nor need the fame
all I need is Jesus yea you can call me lame
but if you was in my shoes than you'll feel the same
life is too precious and love is not a game
why my faith is strong because I've endured so much pain
I'm a unique man so we're not all the same

I don't need a posse,crew nor a clique
I stand alone with God and thats about it
some claim they're my friends but never prove it
I don't need to prove myself because I'm legit

I don't need to boast nor I need to brag
I'm about faith while they talk about swag
I'm all about love while so they can get mad
they want me to fail well too bad so sad

they want a bad chick but I want a virtuous queen
they wanna act dirty but I rather be clean
I know through God there's a king in me
gentleman its time to stand up 
and get back on the scene

any chick can claim she bad but it takes a woman to be strong
because her heart is very good but shes been hurt for so long
whoever said chivalry is dead, man they must be wrong
because its alive and well in these big boy bones


why try to fit in when I love to standout
God's love is all around while your's locked out
thats while I won't complain nor ever pout
my name is D3 and thats what I'm all about

Fred Hammond & RFC - We're Blessed

a cry to my generation

I'm a college student who's tryin to survive
so why people don't want to strive in life
its bad enough that my generation is losing lives
because they rather live the fast life than strive
so why we can't have learn peace instead of strife
we should learn to prosper instead of accepting failure
to pave a way for the young generation we have to live pure
we say we want to do better but some are too lazy to stand up
nothin was givin to us so one day we have to learn that enough is enough
God has blessed us since we came in this world in the 80s/early 90s
so we have to step up for Him and change history 
so women stand up and be virtuous women,wife, and mothers
and brothas let bring back chivalry and be a provider and fathers
so this is a cry for my generation
yea this is a cry for my generation

my deepest thoughts (enough is enough)

Real talk I'm tired of bein in denial and sayin that everything is ok well its not because I feel like I've been lied to at times honestly I don't know who my real friends are or who the ones who don't even care about me anymore but the only time folks talk to me is when they go to bible study,class, or to Oak Grove with me. Enough of the games either you cool with me or just tired of foolin with me.


 
I dealt with this crap since I was at HHS and now at UT-Martin its like everyone is cool with me but when I graduated from HHS now most folks don't even check on a brotha no more and its like when folks are cool with me when I go to church,bible study, or class but never even have the heart to at least to kick it with me when I'm bored but like I said the Lord will make a way for me no matter what at the end of the day I'm still standing.



 Because either way the Lord is gon make a way and show who my true real friends are because it seems like the only time folks want to talk to me is when they want something......so from now on its only God and my family POINT BLANK PERIOD!!!!

And to anyone who try to claim to expose me or say that I act negative on here can shut that up
its called speakin my mind unlike most folks do.


So the question is

Who are my real friends and who are my foes???
Only You know, Lord!
Because at the end of the day You love me unconditionally unlike most people.

P.S. Moral of this note: NEVER MIXED SEASONAL FOLKS WITH LIFETIME EXPECTIONS.

Yall pray for me if you are there for me no matter what even if you don't know me

Jesus

Jesus you're an awesome wonder
you're a wonder like no other
you died on the cross for our sins
unlike most you're my true friend
your love is so unconditional
even through our mess
You still think we're special
thank to You our faith is stronger
because through You I know that I can prosper
without you Lord our lives will be insane
I will always love you in Your name

Kingdom Girl

Kingdom Girl you are a pearl
you shine like a diamond for God 
and its you against the world
your beauty is priceless
but your heart covers it all
you're an inspiration to younger females
while the other bad chicks want you to fall
you are far from a dime piece
and like Proverbs 31:10 said
you are worth more than rubies
you are so dedicated and confident
you brush away your insecurities
you are more than a pretty face
you are a strong woman in many ways
you are a Holy Ghost Diva
a love seeker
you don't play games
because you deserve better
you're too blessed to be stressed
you only listen to God because He knows best
at the end you are God's pearl
that's why I got so much love for you
my Kingdom girl
