Well beautiful souls, the time has come. I know the supporters of Poetic Vybez have been asking questions, so here is your answer. Poetic Vybez will continue with me, Melanie YeYo Carter, as your new host starting Wednesday November 20, 2013 at Phatt Katz Lounge!!! Phatt Katz is the official new home of Poetic Vybez!!!


Alright, here's the rundown. As I said previously, Poetic Vybez will go down every Wednesday night at 9 pm. The sign up for open mic will be from 8:00-9:15 pm. There will be a $5 cover, but anyone who gets to Phatt Katz Lounge before 9:15 will get their first drink on the house (FREE)!!! The grown folks vybe will still be in full effect with Dee J. Troop (DJ Troop) setting our spirits on fire with some NeoSoul music. 

Before I go on, I have to thank Hope Flows for trusting me with her brain child, Poetic Vybez, and I have to thank Dean Roberts for providing the venue. 

With that being said, next Wednesday will mark the start of a new beginning and I hope to see all of your lovely faces there... There will be poetry. RESPECT & LOVE

CIVIL WAR (FIRST DRAFT)

11/4/2013

I know many of us who want to forget about the boys
who want to forget about the girls
that masqueraded their temporary moments in our lives as forever
We want to forget the way their bitter tasted sweet on our tongues
the way it smelled like hope to our lungs
as we inhaled their promises and gave them a life
that would only be aborted in the end
In the end when they turned their backs on us
like too many black folks have done their pride
like too many church folks that have abandoned God
in all that religion
They left us clutching the stems of dying roses in our hands
so the thorns break skin and our love is crucified
And although we were made in His image,
there is no resurrection after a death so brutal
We have not the power to roll away the stones that keep us locked
in an emotional prison
They took away our freedom
Our freedom to trust arms or hands that want to hold us
because we suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Their arms look too much like guns pointed Marine style: a mix of death and gorgeous
And I ain't neva seen a Vet willingly run back to a bloody war
We want to let go but our memories are the fingerprints of our past
And there is no one around to tell us what to do
when life breaks your heart
But spectators tell us to forget about
him
her
When we are hurting because of a feeling so strong
that God was willing to let His son die for it
We are imperfect and broken people
trying to love and be loved by other imperfect and broken people
But because some of us are so blind and disrespectful,
we don't even notice we're just killing each other
And this tragedy is a civil war that has no happy ending
