Literary Revolution

Epic Collaboration With 16 Instagram Writers

This is my contribution/to the literary revolution. We write/because it’s our right/to have what’s written seen in the light. Lives are at stake/so mistakes, we can’t afford to make. Remember, our voices will be heard/in place we can’t utter a word. So I pray/what we create is designed to have ignorance desire to go away/as far away as the first second of yesterday. When intellect comes around/representing sights and sounds/so profound/its nemesis has no other choice but to bow down. Free your mind/of those lines you searched for, but couldn’t find/because every moment has its time. And the time is here/the time is clear/this is why 20/20 is the year. Collectively let’s hold our pens up high/so we can receive that extra energy from beyond the white clouds in the blue sky. Let’s go!!!!!!!

@writepath247/Henery X (long)

My pens up high now ready to concur it all as I glance at my thoughts a more constructive thought process than a year ago. I write to inspire, inspired to write what was placed on my heart by the one who made it possible for me to be. I’ll always write to him. He gives me the strength to be, strength to ask, strength to tell about his life, and his purpose for our lives. Rise up and take your place is my message to you. Purposely walk into your purpose. Let your light shine

@iamderrycox

The time is now, no longer should we wait.

The current trials and tribulations are just a test of fate.

Are you strong enough to push through or would you rather fold?

There is no canceling 2020 or putting it on hold.

Express yourself, release all emotions.

Putting pen to paper is my magic potion.

The freedom I feel at every turn of the pen.

Let’s me know that 2020 is definitely a win. Let’s Go!!!

Ignorance and Truth had a prizefight.

Both came dressed in their best to kill.

Steaks were high & the crowd was spry.

The rules were ~ put on ice to chill.

Ignorance balled up 2 gnarled knuckle fists as he danced around his opponent.

Truth stood still, center ring; the pen in her handheld a lethal component.

Ignorance burned out all his gas on

swings & misses w/ an occasional feint

The truth was able to write Ignorance’s wrongs into a story… turning him

into a Saint.

The moral of the story

is that moral is the story

I have worn glasses since a child, so never had 20/20 vision. But 2020 finds me with eyes wide open. It is crazy what you miss when your vision is limited. You see history gave us a narrow view of US. Painted a picture of distorted worth, but no more. We paint in blocks so the message can be seen. The contrast gives us a more defined view of what some would like to leave occluded. Squint and see clearer if only to get the struggle in focus. Then to now, does not look at first glance to be much different, “No Blacks Allowed” signs to “Black Lives Matter”, do the signs read the same? I would say so, with or without coke bottle glasses. Had we truly lived in an age where Black and Brown are viewed as relevant, important, or as vital as the absence of light and color, then this conversation, nor examination, would not be in existence. History will likely repeat itself as we have yet to look back and heed or learn lessons. We move forward and confess that 20/20 is hindsight! Our perfect vision of 20/20 will find us with clearer sight than whence we have begun. Let’s pass the vision test and read off charts. Can you please read line one…..E… Line 2 please…Q-U, line 3 next, …A-L-I, and lastly, please read line 4,… T-Y. Many were blind and now can see, that fair does not simply promote EQUALITY.

Listen to my Literary Revolution I was appointed with a purpose and I will exercise my rights like a constitution. I have a written contract with poetry that can’t be breached. My words I construct are for souls to be reached. I have a job to do and my pen is my speech, projecting to be digested to find the areas in your body that require attention. Let it circulate, feel me let it penetrate, let the impact be able to resonate, don’t let nothing break the focus. Close your eyes and concentrate. When your down my words will make you elevate. The heart that you thought didn’t function anymore will activate and pump and give you the adrenaline rush there’s no need to hesitate. I’m putting you in a position to be great to have mind control and to eliminate any hate. I will continue to write and push limits and raise the stakes and break away from any place that invades your space.

I’m Attracted To It & Motivated By It

This Poetry…

Never Gonna Ruin It Due to Overthinking…

Reflecting Too Much On Previous Works

That’s How A Poets Development Gets Hurt

Thankfully

When I Look Forward And Not Behind

New Content Comes To Me

And It Seems Outta Nowhere I Ignite

And Must Release My Words

Like A Power Surge

The Power Of The Pen Flows Through Me

It’s Like A Fresh Awakening

New Writes Are Beginning

Even During Daily Conversations

Even When I’m Dreaming

The Need To Give Insight Drives Me

To Share And Bare My Soul

To Make Myself & Others Whole

To Create And Inspire

To Lift Others Higher

To Free Mental Slaves

To Manifest Change Before The Grave

This Is What Poetry Is For Me

Therefore Poetry Is Me

@Consciouslinez_

This is my contribution to the literary revolution. Hold my pen with a tight grip Making a fist, allowing my words to shout.

Many before me leaving a path to follow. I will Rise to the occasion each chance I can.

To continue to be a Beloved of the pen, Toni Morrison It’s an honor to share the trait of so many greats. Now leaving legacies, that many can embrace. But this journey is just starting to begin I pass it on to the next…..

@poeticc_serenityy_

Every syllable from my brain stem to the bleeding ink I pen is a gem! My sentences are diadems’, spilling my soul emitting words of positive diamonds, shining! With each letter, I’m signing. the abundance of God-given Love and energy! Synergy to your brain sensory, I gift a rhyming symphony of tranquility. With full liberty in hopes to bring epiphanies! I stand in opposition to those who oppose freedoms where souls can glisten! Listen! We must stand together and not division! To break down a system that’s persistent to cause restrictions and friction! My ambition? The Golden Rule Love brings to fruition. Literary revolution! We are sick of illusions and are the freedom fighting force for the constitution.

That’s everywhere, just gotta know where to look, some can be high profile, others can be low-key, hidden gods of mischief or public men and women of steel, trust and believe. Keepin the peace on a holster was the birth of an outspoken community now also became like a veiled society in plain sight, but the movement remains intact the first priority. It’s one thing to be color blind, raisin hell-bent on the spectrum that the ‘isms’ & ‘phobics’ implies is ingrained, that it’s a misinterpretation by association. It’s another to recognize the true works in progress, providin the knowledge from quick cash to well-earned stash, workin extra hard, tirelessly to make life semi-easy. From cachin bloody checks to slangin hope, dark knights of the streets to mournin hours of tears, and pray to God to reveal these fears and fear mongers and reverse killmongers of peers. Ships have already sailed into obscurity, boarded with those who haven’t been in that life, that’s why music supplies the history, the escapism beauty of realistic brutality. Lord, please reach these minds so they can hone their gifts and their self-value increase…

@poetryflamez

Closet emotions

Tear ducts are hidden from the world

Hesitant to express what you wanna say

My deluxe pen and paper will pave the way

I write to reach the masses

Your pain I covet

All of me I spill via words

A reminder that perfection does not exist

Tainted, abused, misused, broken-hearted or more

Literary superpowers

These words are my swords

Dissected are thoughts that we aren’t worth our own time

Stop

Breathe

Now let’s grind!

Writers can be healers

Words are chosen wisely

Lives transformed

Vocabulary a powerful source

Tough year 20/20

Storms were faced

Signs to keep grinding

Never know what life may bring

I’ll never stop writing

Words are my release

My contribution to the world

Is transparency

©drine_the_poet

The right time is now/Right now is a blessing/To write down your heart and mind of thoughts defined from our penful mind as a writer…….Write time is life/ soul and energy in which unfold a million leaves of paper with content, from your subconscious and conscious of knowledge imprinted from life experiences……Brainstorm with thunder as you wonder/ how to express many messages from winter to summer/ with jaw-dropping lightning of material to cover/ Bind and book for eyes to discover ….abundant of pages from numerous occasions to awaken thoughtless SLUMBERS……………8–10

@authorl.triplett

We write to leave a blueprint of our legacies!

So that long after our earthly vessels have dearly departed,

Our printed analogies will draw comparisons reflective of our once lived beliefs.

Our ink blotted words left for all to read the works that we once started.

Writing is a necessity like inhaling the air we breathe,

A necessary work of art

Necessary to bring life to the pain & agony…

The thoughts that plague most as they sit alone & suffer in the dark.

It’s the simplest of guilty pleasures

Only we need not feel guilty,

For transcribing unto scrolls

the verbiage that’s intertwined in our souls

And sets fire to our will to succeed!

Writing is therapy

Especially when you close your eyes & just allow the words to take the lead.

As kids, there was a chant that we all used to love to say,

“Sticks & stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”

Well somebody lied and now it’s time to toss that crap away!

Words hold substance at weddings & funerals

Two of life’s most sacred events,

That’s not by chance or irony but because someone knew the power of words & their ability to make living our lives make sense.

Let’s come together in unison shouting our truths for all to hear,

Without hesitation & stagnation tumbling strongly over fear!

@thee_hidden_poet

A choice to be silent

A choice to be heard

A choice to listen

Insight transferred

A story to tell

A story to share

A story to show

Others care

Unique lives

Unique thoughts

Unique voices

Connect dots

Pure gold in every word

Layers of meaning conferred

For those who speak

And those who seek

The time is now

Your voice is how

Seeds are planted

And action granted

A step to take

Changes to make

Power unfolds

Shattering molds

Identity shifts

Ideal gifts

The Universe sings

For all living things

@amymarley

The issues of life flow as they are curated in ink

I am a spotlight filled with a purpose to provoke people to think

To bring to the forefront those things kept secret like family heirlooms

To empower people to look past their past and see themselves in the mirror with a clear view

Mistakes only direct us to the path we should walk but they are not who we are

Life is filled with seasons of lessons partake in the knowledge and push forward

Even when the journey feels like a bumper car

Look up, look deep within never behind

Allow positivity to elevate your mind

I write to save lives including my own

Baring my soul keeps me free

Regardless of what you’ve encountered in this life

You can make it

Let these words be the catalyst to your healing

@dawnmichellepoetry

I wonder if the world can even begin to comprehend these words that live inside…me

I wonder if they know they come in small, medium & large moments

I wonder if they care

I am not concerned with their feelings, either way

As long as I live, I will write to give birth to every letter going into labor within my soul, I will nurse them & be a mother until they are released

I wonder if the world will ever accept & be a part of the cause, the revolution of poetry…

As long as I live to give create & be creative, there will be no war

Poetry quenches my thirst

Poetry is my lover

Poetry nurtures my soul

Poetry is me & I will be heard through word…

Peace & love

@saun7

Profound

Astound

Astonished

Ink of pens

Drips and drips out

Artistry through authoritative authorship Open your eyes to see Or maybe you read Brail preferably That the greatness

Is the greatest it seems

Embedded intoxication To sew your ink-soaked seeds

Thoroughly and throughout time

Producing deep-seated roots fruits of love, of healing, of hope, and direction Motioning towards germination Permeating generations and generations. From big dippers and exploding stars formulated with you in mind, scientific equations might not be enough to explain it Redemption of The layers of my being ascension into the black lights draped across my forehead

Crystal, sapphires, rubies, and turquoise jewels Thinking ability in action Manifesting and attracting Consequences of applied knowledge….wisdom

Here’s one of the projects I was working on in my absence from this platform. I love connecting with others, creating with others. We writers have a responsibility to the readers to give them content that will encourage, enlighten and entertain. I’d love to create something similar to this with my ILLUMINATION family members as well. All interested parties are welcomed, let’s build a modern-day Pyramid.
