Poem title: New World Order Written by: Luchetta manus © 2014
Liars
Thieves
Fakes, frauds, and phonies
Wolves in sheep's'clothing
Talkin like y'all know me
Government
Officials
Spiritual
Wickedness in high places
While the righteous
occupy Lowly spaces
Poverty fills our nation
The sane Is the new "crazy"
Manson's babies
Women Having surgeries to fit in
Natural is a sin
They've taken the throne from our men
Kings and queens
Is who we really are
Numerous as the stars
We can be better
Than what we are
Title: And Lead Us Not
The thorn in my side
Blind
To the reality of harm
This causes me
A deterrent
From my destiny
Help!
Someone save me from myself
Repeating the same actions
Wanting changes
Insanity
Thinking I could get away with dirt
Vanity
The truth hurts
Clarity
I wanna use my life line
Salvation
Avoiding destruction
Temptations
Title: In Honor of You
I feel the absence of your presence stronger when it rains
something about the gentle sound, roll of thunder, and lightening
stirs up old remains, emotions, and memories
I don't see clearly..now the rain is gone
You've been away long
The passion in my heart
I still have that for you.
We aren't together anymore

random thoughts death
In America we have more memorials than we have celebrations.
Why do we honor the dead more than we honor the living?
Human life seems to not carry value until a death occurs
Can we celebrate life more? - Written by Luchetta(Cookee)Manus© 2013

All I have are these pictures and memories; both good and bad ones. The only satisifaction I can get, knowing you are living and still exist.

Poem title: my dreams for you
Whispers of promises from a divine father's mouth,to the ears of flesh and bone pre destin for greatness.
Made a lil lesser than angels, the option to envision what he sees me as, is a matter of grabing and holding onto his dreams.
Trusting in half of the picture, which i can only see. The bigger picture is seen only by faith.
So overwhelmingly beautiful for one mind to absorb or intake. Knowing in later times there will be a completion of me
Living with a purpose is according to prophecy.

Poem Title: Full Moon Written by: Luchetta ( Cookee ) Manus © 2013
Hanging in the sky for the world to see
Every night it is Christmas.
Sworn to secrecy
The night air cannot whisper its knowledge
Entangled in clouds
Out shining smaller illuminations
Ruler of the evening
It is a light, sacred
A beacon of romance
An icon of majesty
Direction for the lost in transit
Confusion for those on journeys
Both curses and blessings
Set apart from the morning star
Its a shadow
In its own light

INTRODUCTION
If you have lived long enough in this chaotic world, playing
the game called life, you would know that it is only human nature to make
mistakes. Some of us learn from our mistakes immediately and change. Some of us
(For example me) learn everything the hard way, because we are hard headed as old
folks would say. We don't change unless we have NO other options to do things
the way WE want to do them.
The irony of being human is we are aware we are subject to make mistakes and have flaws, but we still all hold on to the false persona the we are "Perfect", even when deep down inside we know we aren't. We hold on to our false perception of who were really aren't, sometimes judging others for their flaws, forgetting that we are hiding ours from plain view. Becoming hypocrites. The sad part is we judge and mistreat those who are struggling in an area or two in lives, because we have conquered the struggle in an area they are struggling in. Not keeping in mind that although we may have conquered an area or two we still have our hang ups and don't have any right to judge the next person. After all, most people who judge cannot handle being judged themselves.
The human mind is an amazing part of the body, because we can never fully understand its function from person to person because we are all different, mind, body, and spirit. No one knows the minds of men, but God. No matter what science come up with, the human mind will remain a mystery between man, the God who created it, and the environment which helped mold it. No two minds are alike.
Sometimes we conceal our thoughts in fear of being judged or labeled,” Crazy." When in reality, more people share our sometimes weird, warped, and twisted thoughts more than we think. Some are fearless and verbal, able to express their minds regardless of consequence. While, some are fearful and keep their thoughts to themselves.
For me, people told me I was crazy for thinking what I was thinking sometimes, until I matured and found out there were more people like me, they were just trying to blend into the norm. So me hearing I was” Crazy" was nothing new to me. I found out that I was labeled by people who didn't share my abusive childhood or could not comprehend my background. I had to come to terms and be comfortable with who I was as a person. Then if someone called me, "Crazy" I learned to respond with, "Thank you." Understanding I wasn't crazy, I was just braver to speak out than most.
In my first book I wrote, "The Spiritual Evolution of a Wounded Soul," I spoke of my journey to self after growing up in an abusive home environment as a child and how it cause me to become a writer, poet, and artist. This book is titled, "They Call Us Crazy," will show you how difficult it is for a person who has been abused struggle to think soundly. We don't grow up with a healthy mind as a person who has not experienced abuse. However, we can survive, we can live happy, and we can make it.

Life Lesson (What I have come to learn)
Sometimes when opportunity does not find you, and you go knocking on it's door, sometimes there are no answers.
Then you have to make a crutial decision
Keep knocking until someone decides to answer...
Or build your own damn door.
Lately, I have been building my own doors. I learned that people are fearful, uneasy,and even sometimes jeaslous of what others possess, not realizing that there is enough success, love, work, goal, accomplishments for the whole world.
There is no such thing as someone outshinning someone.
WHY?
Because we all are unique and possess something different to contribute to life that no one else possess
This should eliminate jealous for those who are scared to share the spot light...me I am never scared to help the next person out

Based on my own a true story of a past relationship
Title: Pain
The pain in my heart increased,as the words he yelled out echoed in my ears. The echo was long and harsh and unending. Like I was standing at the end of a long tunnel. He at one end I another.
"I never loved you, and I never wanted you." He said it once, but I heard it over and over and over again. The anger in his face made tears form in my eyes flooding like dams breaking, crushing my soul into fragments, too small to ever be whole again
Once words leave lips and travel to the ears, its no turning back. In my heard I envisioned all the times I told him I loved him and meant it from my heart. All the times I pledged myself to his many causes thinking I proved my love and loyalty to him time, and time again.
Then I held my head to the sky as if to plea to my creator for relief of the pain I felt in my chest, I was almost sure it would kill me. "Lord, I just wanna die this is too much."
I thought about how I fought to keep him with me. How I pleaded for his attention, and constantly craved his affection which with everyday passing became less and less.
Then the realization came to me that...
He was right! He never loved me and he didn't want me.I was just to blinded by my own desires for him.
That day a little more of what made me Luchetta died. I never was the same.

Title: THE DEFINITION OF HATE Written by Luchetta (Cookee) Manus © 2014
HATE:
Hate towards others is usually an indicator of an individual's own insecurities, which are redirected towards another.
Blaming others for their own short comings is easier than making changes to fix what is wrong with themselves in the inside.
random thoughts
The cause of anger is bitterness. Once you learn how to forgive and move on then you can grow. happiness is a choice.
Forgiving others isn't being weak and doesn't mean you have to keep negative people in your life, but it means you recognize at some point we are all human we are flawed, we error, make mistakes, and at one point, you at one time needed someone to forgive you
Forgiveness is an act of power. It takes a strong personality to forgive.
A LOT OF THE TIMES THE MOST HARDEST THING TO DO IS TO FORGIVE AND LOVE OURSELVES. WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES
SOME EVERYONE LOVE ONE ANOTHER

Title: Respect Part 2 Wriiten by: Luchetta ( Cookee) Manus © 2014
We are all sons' of Adam
Daughters' of Eve
Loved birthed into you and me
In the form of bone and flesh
Body, mind, and soul
This fact makes me beyond valuable
My self worth isn't measured
By my material possessions
because in the end
I cannot leave this Earth with 'em
Love and compassion
Will be remembered upon my passing
Is not a legacy of love and compassion
Unity and togetherness
Patience everlasting
Enough wealth to leave my kids?
Will I continue to be judged ?
By the narrow life I live
Of minimalism
Enough to just get by
Working to gain
Multipliying
Only to have subtraction
Dividing
My worldly material possessions are next to none
One
By one
By one
Is it because I am not the right color?
I'm not at fault
It was given me by my father and mother
It wasn't a choice I had selected at birth
Entering my mother's womb upon the Earth
I am a person
Created
In his divine image
According to his likeness
I'm trying to make it
In this fight called life

Title: Old School Written by: Luchetta (Cookee) Manus © 2014
I was listening to some old school R&B and wrote this just now
Listening to old school
slow jams
Slowly transports me back
when melodies were sang to subliminally woo the panties off the ladies
when love pumped through the speakers, making you sway back and forth and wanna grab the one you loved
Even if it wasn't the one you loved, it was the one you loved for that moment
When the familiar song plays and grabs attention like an elephant in the room. It starts to play
everyone throws up their hands yelling,"Heyyyyy!"
Music has a way of bringing everyone together like that
Freddie, Luther, Aretha, Anita
Responsible for baby booms, which were never recorded in history books
Old school R&B responsible for the joys of undersexed, over worked wives cleaning their homes forgetting for a moment that they are unwanted.
Old school, classics, works of artistic love wind, flowing through the air of the love starved and optimism ears of people
R&B never really gets old

Social responsibility
MY THOUGHTS ON ART, ARTISTS, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Art is subjective, it can be interpreted differently from person to person. There are no rules, guidelines, or format to how an artist chooses to express him/her selves or methods used in doing so.
Social responsibility is an ethical theory that an entity, be it an organization or individual has an obligation to act to benefit society at large.
Every expression of art CANNOT BE POSITIVE. Being that most of the time an artists draws from His/her own experiences or knowledge of. This world is not a pretty place and negative things do happen.
To say an artists has to censor his/her methods of express because of negative content will be contamination to the art form in which that person uses. It will not be his/her truth.
So, if someone curses in a poem, shows nudity in a drawing, or show war like devastation in a photograph, it is still ART even in a negative light.
So I said all that to say this it is NOT the responsibility of the artists to sugarcoat things as such to where his/her art form is not true to the person creating it.
No I do not believe in censorship, I do believe in the power for people to determine for themselves what is or isn't right for them. What is right or isn't right for their children and families.
instead of censoring stuff...monitor what you kids intake through their gate ways(eyes, ears,nose, mouth) teach them, what is real and what isn't. Fact from fantasy. Allow stuff which is age appropriate at the right stages of their lives.
Allowing your child to only view positive things is only doing them a disservice and functioning in life as they find out the evils of the world too late will only do more harm than good.
So do I think artists should be made to be responsible their reception of the art they see...my answer is, "No"

Poem title: Forbidden Written by: Luchetta (Cookee) Manus © 2014
I willingly allow him to imprison my body
His aura taunts me
All my thoughts
are enslaved
held captive by him
Me not wanting that man
Next to slim
My heart doesn't care
its wrong
My mind wants to do right
His hands on my body
Wins the fight
These four walls are
Forbidden to speak
what is done
Above the sheets
A vow of silence
Rendezvous and
times spent
Drastic measures
taken to create
Exotic pleasures
Lust, sweating
Bodies getting wet and
Precipitation
Calling for rain
In the forcast
Our love making drains me
Only behind closed doors
Can he yell my name
pain
"I never loved you, and I never wanted you." He said it once, but I heard it over and over and over again. The anger in his face made tears form in my eyes flooding like dams breaking, crushing my soul into fragments, too small to ever be whole again
Once words leave lips and travel to the ears, its no turning back. In my head I envisioned all the times I told him I loved him and meant it from my heart. All the times I pledged myself to his many causes thinking I proved my love and loyalty to him time, and time again.
Then I held my head to the sky as if to plea to my creator for relief of the pain I felt in my chest, I was almost sure it would kill me. "Lord, I just wanna die this is too much."
I thought about how I fought to keep him with me. How I pleaded for his attention, and constantly craved his affection which with everyday passing became less and less.
Then the realization came to me that...
He was right! He never loved me and he didn't want me.I was just to blinded by my own desires for him.

The Human Condition It is Easy to Call a Poor Man Lazy Written by: Luchetta (Cookee) Manus © 2014
I could never be judgmental of other people. I can say that coming from my own life experiences of people judging me, by what they think they see, not by the full picture, my story. Pastor Darren T. Peoples would have this saying, “I may have done what they say I did, but I am not who they say I am.” This saying has always been powerful to me. Sometimes being human in this world we neglect the spiritual and completely operate in the physical.
When you label people by observation sometimes this could be deceiving. This comes about when using the physical eyes to see things and place a label on it saying, “This is so.” While labeling maybe useful, we need to be very careful how we place labels on people. My favorite example to use is how scientist labels animals in the animal kingdom. Scientist label animals using several categories.
Kingdom
Pylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
They do so to eliminate confusion. When they see an animal that may appear to have similarities with another animal, they will know by digging deeper that although they look similar, they are not the same and are made up of different properties. This goes beyond what appears on the surface. Taking a look at a Koala Bear, Koalas are usually called, “Koala Bears.” At some point in time they received that label because they had some similarities to a bear, however they are not bears, and not even closely related to bears. They share some of the same class levels until they branch off into different areas that make them different. We are not scientists, but need to dig deeper to gain an understanding of one another as human beings. If we can give much thought to breaking an animal down so that you can see each animals’ individualities, why can’t we do the same for people? Why can’t we put that much energy in walking in another person’s shoes? Why don’t we try to figure out the whys? Maybe, because it is much easier to label and mislabel people than to get to know then and find out whom they really are.
Every poor person isn’t lazy and don’t want to work.
Everyone who has AIDS wasn’t being loose with their sex life
Not everyone who has cancer has it because they have smoked
Not everyone who has bad things happen to them done something to deserve it
We are so prone to be judgmental that we fail to see people as complete beings; Body, mind, and spirit. We are all connected. There isn’t a way we can escape sharing this Earthly space together and time with others. We should have the understanding that there is more to be seen than what is seen with the eyes. Everyone is deserving of a deeper look. We must get past mislabeling people. We must be patient and loving, because everyone struggles with something. No one is without fault. No one is flawless. Instead of tearing down each other, we should be building each other up., understanding our human conditions.

There isn’t a way we can escape sharing this Earthly space together and time with others. We should have the understanding that there is more to be seen than what is seen with the eyes. Everyone is deserving of a deeper look. We must get past mislabeling people. We must be patient and loving, because everyone struggles with something. No one is without fault. No one is flawless. Instead of tearing down each other, we should be building each other up., understanding our human conditions.
