William Marshall Davis

William Marshall Davis is a man that is large and in charge. He is large physically and intellectually. He survived a life that many have not. He lived in the streets and learned the rules and unspoken laws of the darker side of the community where he became addicted to cocaine and witnessed the injustices of this land personally. He has been arrested many times and has lived behind the razor wire of prison twice. During that time he owned up to his mistakes, claimed his sobriety and found his God given talents and picked up a pen. These poems were written during the last 15 years during moments in his life where he felt love, heartbreak, anger and hate. He has grown since those times. He will never be politically correct but you will feel every feeling he felt when he wrote these poems.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank those people that supported my mission and purchased my first book From The Mind Of A Mad Wam and those that understand what I am trying to become.

Harshness

What I write does carry a harshness

Of a bitter attitude you could say it suggests

But in no way am I bitter I’m simply aware

And the things I se I choose to openly share

Just because it’s not sugar coated

They say I’m upset that’s why I wrote it

When in fact I’m usually of a balanced attitude

Then in actually what I write is not dictated by my mood

I just choose to script what my mind spits

It’s not my fault if you can’t seem to handle it

What I see, what I feel, makes me go all in

And for no one will I dilute the ink in my pen

That’s exactly what’s wrong with this world today

People are brave to think but afraid to say

Me on the other hand stand on a different side

As far as I’m concerned my pen and paper have nothing to hide

So I make no apologies if what I write comes across offensive

Because this world I live in is hard not soft and sensitive

Tho I could write in a style metaphorically finessed

Sometimes what’s needed is a little straight forward harshness

Everything I Write

Everyone is not gonna like everything I write

That’s common sense not profound insight

Different ranges of understanding and levels of intellect

Some like when I write about God, others when I write about sex

I’m never going to please everyone who reads poetry

That’s not what I’m wanting to achieve literary

I’m just wanting to project how I’m feeling at a time

Transfer to paper the things going on in my mind

Yes some of these lines might come across offensive

Especially if your small minded and excessively sensitive

What my pen writes sometimes I don’t even know

And sometimes I write intentionally to step on toes

Truth and facts never lies and callous speculation

I write at a target and my words strike their destination

Its guaranteed that if you read my books your judgment will be 50-50

Try and fight it but your gonna want to read more of me

But like it or not you’ll agree that I’m the best at this art

Because what I write is real and comes straight from my heart

So I really don’t care if you bitch, moan and gripe

Because everyone is not gonna like everything I write

Left Alone

I just want to be left alone

Treat me like I’m physically in another time zone

Because I’m usually in a different mental hemisphere

So when you see me act as if I’m not over there

Pretty much I want you to stay out of my face

Give me plenty of room and let me have my space

I know that I have to coexist socially

But I do prefer if you wouldn’t stand that close to me

I’ll deal with you only if I have to

Other than that I’ll treat you as if your see through

So it will need to be because of business when we cross paths

Not to bond, embrace, interact or share a laugh

I’m just
