DAVID ANTHONY BUTLER

My mother is a preacher, Father is a heathen
Maybe that's the reason I came out so even
Believing in God but yet I'm still a sinner
Devil all on back, and yet I'm still a winner
A good kid that's gone all bad,
Good Mom with a Gone Dad
I was on the honor roll making A's and B's
Until the day I found out you wasn't raising me
Victim of a broken home, child of divorce
It would be the split to knock me off course
Daddy ain't home so now I'll act an ass
Failing out of school, I ain''t going to class.
How the hell you gonna get an F in gym
Best athlete in the school go and check the gym
But now there's no checking him
Cops at the house they arresting him
Mama forgive me, I'm just hurt I'm so lost
I needed the attention, whatever it cost.
Same reason now I'm afraid to have kids
History repeats itself and I'll do the same sh*t
My bad am I being to real for y'all
Pulling out my heart to reveal to y'all
The young poet who writes love but don't know it
Who yearns for commitment but yet he won't show it
Falls in love but knows he gonna blow it
Waiting to reap the heartache because he knows he done sowed it.
First views of good love was from Martin and Gina
In college I was only searching to find me a Gina
Lightskin with a big butt and short hair,
I'd say go girl, and grab my ears
Wondering why I never had me an Uncle Phil
"How come he don't want me" that line was too real
Thank God for Julius John who gave me direction
Let me write it out and got me directing
Fell in love with Theatre, a stage I can step in
Realized the words had power, my pen is a weapon
Dropped the Butler, now we just David Anthony
Mama named her son after a biblical King
How ironic that the man that writes these poems
Named after the same man the wrote the Psalms
And I'm gonna keep writing and posting these blogs
And I just hope you keep following and reading along.

-David Anthony

TRANSITIONS

  It's crazy to watch, to see it all happening right before your eyes... I've managed to watch young boys become men... players become fathers... party goers and bar hoppers become home depot shoppers and PTA participants. I've witnessed the strongest of men become fragile, and weak. The most independent of women become dependent and sedentary. What is the point of this circle of life we all seem to be engaged in... the experience of our very own existence within the circumference of birth and death... what is there to be learned? What is there to understand within it all... I stare up into the cosmos of all that is and will be... all that lives underneath the sun and moon and question the why of it.. the how of it... we live forever and yet we live for a moment... moment to moment... collecting each like lightning bugs in the summers of our youth... These moments that build us and define us... whether it's the young black English teacher that hands you a book that wil...

MANHOOD 101: RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR MEN TAKING SELFIES

"A selfie is a self portrait photograph, typically taken with a digital camera or camera phone held in the hand or supported by a selfie stick. Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. They are usual flattering and made to appear casual. Most selfies are taken with a camera held at arms length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a self timer." -Wikipedia You do it, I do it, we all do it. We take selfies. But for men, there need to be some manly restrictions to such vain activity, and I am here to lay some ground rules, a few man laws in which my brothers should govern themselves. There are really only 3 good reasons to take a selfie...and all of them whether directly and or indirectly should be for the benefit of bagging a lady. REASON #1: TO GAIN ACCESS TO VAGINAL EXTREMITIES: AKA GETTING SOME ASS. All dudes have a bathroom mirror post with their shirt off and if they say they don't then...

DR. SEUSS KEEPS IT REAL

A father and son were riding in the car, To the House of Cheeks, for a drink at the bar The son was scrolling through I.G. with great lust, The father saw the phone, and said what the f*ck is this? He took the phone from his son and stared at the screen, Looked back at his son, his eyes looked so mean. I do not like these thirsty thots, I do not like their thirsty thoughts, I shall not like their thirsty pics, For all they do is tease the dick, I do not like to play their games , You come and go as if your running things, I would not sweat you in a bar, I would not sweat you in your car. I would not sweat you on the beach, I would not sweat you on the streets. Get away from me these thirsty thots, Trying to trap me with your thirsty shots, Your yoga pants and ill fitted tops, Pushing your boobies up to the top, Pictures you take in your draws for me to view With dumbass captions like, "what are you up to"? Clearly I'm looking at this picture of yo...
