Who Said It Best

I Declare War

I declare war,
I declare war on the hands of time
Poetry books without a single rhyme
Liars who always say they are fine
Every luxury car ad without traffic line
The jury who freed Justice for his crime

I declare war on,
The waitress asking me a tip for a lime
Circus Clowns who stopped speaking in mime
The Slave Master who sold my lover for a dime
Whoever added resilience in my wine
On all dreams that can never be mine

I declare war on myself,
the Lime responsible for the previous lines 
being unfulfilled, due to wasting fine time,
drinking wine and writing dime poetry rhymes

Fear & I

Fear & I

You were wrong
"I am the light"
You were strong
I stayed bright
You paused like a song
I was ready to fight.

Caution Tape

Unity as a reality must soon bridge this gape
If life is lived in boundary of a caution tape
How are we to lead a nation back to shape?
Blue blood divides the land of colored apes
Haiti looks to the sky for The Man's red cape
Father gives her resources to be gang raped
Will art awake us from our colonial forced nape?

Earl Lucifer's daughter

Good morning world
last night I met a girl
More beautiful then
dreams, diamonds or pearls
Her shy smile, dark skin
made my head turn
With her full rainbow lips
she spoke of peace,
freedom and love
So amazing that my heart twirled
I saw joy kissing happiness
In her almond brown eyes
I swear that my toes curled
"Can't wait to meet her family"
We'll drive south to see her father
Some man by the name of Earl
So long single life world
loneliness, sorry we had to part
I've fallen for daddy's girl

New Girlfriend

You & I

Wild Rides

Through hills, valley and all the wild rides
On me to depend, a friend by your side
"Time heals all wounds" said my sister when she lied
My best friend is no more, because he died
"How selfish?" Is the question locked deep inside
Why did you have to go and commit suicide?
Emptiness had now filled your place so wide
Your family's mental pain will never subside
Even your dark clouds have ran and cried
Your blood stain will be washed with tide
My permanent tear marks remain, never to hide

Who Said It Best -- Part 2

Tropical Depression

Dedicated to Salt

Reads on my skin after the last earthquake
"Mr. Mercier press forward, move for God's sake"
So many late night arguments we've baked
Too many broken promises to overflow a lake
Couldn't stand still for the bite of your snake

Time has passed to stop dreaming wide awake
Self lies have become the bolder I needed to rake
No matter how often my heart will brake
Or the time wasted blowing on our issue cake
Vision of me as a cold rock I needed to shake

A pebble lingers in every breaths that I take
Just like an 80's hit song, my mind will ache
Still pressing forward for my sake
a smile I got tired to fake

-- Louis Mercier

I Am Louis Mercier

I Am

Who am I?

Am I sexist for asking black woman to burn up their weave?
Am I homophobic if I can't be with a shemale named Steve?
Am I racist to say black crime is my number one pet peeve?

Who am I?

Am I a terrorist for killing fruit flies and wishing ants would leave?
Am I an Atheist if I don't believe the first dummy was Eve?
Am I an illiterate if I can't define the word h-e-a-v-e?

Who am I?

Just a man asking our President to tax bullets by 2,300% 
and to roll up his sleeves

Be the change
Vote for yourself

Dream Big Louis Mercier

Just before laying down to sleep every night
I feel my legs who carried me through this fight
I lost my focus, it is equal to loosing my sight

Why does my chest inhale breath so tight?
A warning sign that everything won't be alright
For big dreams are still within in search of its light

Tomorrow's new reach is bound for an unknown height
How does a blind man succeed without sight?
Exorcise his fears to leave on the next AM flight

For self-discipline is the burden I can't get right
As I slept, I dreamed my legs gave up before midnight
Anyone please, calm my nerves and say I'll be aiight!

-- Louis Mercier

Apple Of My Eye

Something happened in the mind
Needed a place to escape your kind
Opening the door that got me blind
What I saw was deceits in the wind

Walked the streets to clog my mind
Hated when we fought, tears I would find
Is it me? Was it you? Are we acting blind
The climax, the txts with sex in the wind
Everything is now gone, love is so kind

-- Louis Mercier

"Tank Yuh"

For every single Tumblr & Blog reader
This poem is dedicated to you
I'm blessed to have you as a follower
To show appreciation was on my list to do
Your care pushes my art further

Even if my grammar smells like poo
Or my spelling mistakes could be better
200% is placed in creativity and entertainment too
For your support and pair of eyes,
I promise to work harder
From this day forward, know that I thank all of you

-- Louis Mercier

Carpe Noctem

Nota Bene I will be the first to break this old dance rule
What goes in a party is to remain silent, isn't cool
I will expose the dance floor stories standing on this stool
 
'Cause a Trinidadian woman has captured my heart in full
The night club was our arena, she was my Torero I was her Bull
To share amazing step moves, we sweated like a mule

Each song blaring, lifted us above the crowded pool
Her body in motion radiated pleasure like a cashmere wool
Until 5AM sent her away, for a soft kiss her hand I pulled

Can't stop thinking about our hips gyrating like a tool
Don't know her name or her number, I now feel like a fool
A soca party is always fading memory, it's never cool

--Louis Mercier
