"Tempted Relation" - a poem written by Dominique Conston



"Tempted Relation"


Unimaginably impossible it was to believe.
The person you love, and the one you desire.
The way you feel, interrupts the truth.
Truth lies, because the pain is reality.
Clouded feelings, relations in mind.
Separate thoughts, no showing of clarity. 
Years of work, wasted by a moments time.
Tempted by lust, no showing through the heart.
Lost and unaware, sexual actions denoted the start.
Secrets kept in the dark.

Days pass and conscience kicks.
Damaged internally, for which is only the truth can fix. 
Relationship conflicts.
Hiding what eventually shall prevail, set to depart and live off retail.
Instead, it meant much more.
There was love for sale in store.
Values faded, feelings effected, love degraded, reveiling neglection.
No room to renovate.
What could all this insinuate?

No longer able to retain the expression.
Overpowered by guilt, becoming an unchained confession.
Let's obtain the lesson.
In love, yet tempted by disguise.
A new pleasure, aside from being taken for granted.
Abided to set a standard.
Temporary desire, fueled the fire to cheat.
Hurt, betrayed, submissive and beat.
Just because it's different doesn't always mean it's better.
Discovered the hard way, time to face the weather.
Words and actions all on the table.
Unveiled the fable.
False perception of complacent, resulted in being a replacement.
Set in stone, engraved in the pavement.
Everything was given, but you chose to chase it. 

President Obama Speaks on Trayvon Martin Case



"President Obama Speaks on Trayvon Martin Case"




Previously, President Barack Obama delivered a measured statement the day after George Zimmerman was acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin, calling for "calm reflection." During a White House press briefing, Obama spoke candidly about the verdict, mentioning the reality of Black men being racially profiled, himself included.  "When Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son," began the POTUS. "Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me, 35 years ago."  What are your thoughts on the "Stand Your Ground" law? Does it actually protect citizens or just complicates things in the name of the law? - See more at: http://hiphopwired.com
