My First Poem Radona’s Regret written 2008

                      

                               

From the moment Radona gave birth she was mesmerized by Madison’s eyes

When the Correctional Officer told her she’d only be with her baby two hours, her smiles turned into cries

The first of three children that wouldn’t be raised by her, their mother

She prayed they’d always remember how much she love’em

Addicted to the fast life and it cost her her freedom

Three beautiful girls without their mother to lead them

One in particular had her worried of rejection

Two years into Maddy’s life and still no Radona Affection

What kind of mother chooses a life of crime over their kids?

Wait a minute Radona thought “Oh yeah, I did”

As the days go by and the years continue to grow,

She can’t help but wonder if they won’t love her anymore

An epitome of a broken home is what they’ve became

Thanks to stupidity, a hard head, and addiction to the game

But after this bid, it’s a wrap, time to make things right

You can do it Radona, with God’s help and motivational insight

When it all boils down, it’s not about me
it’s about Jada, Mariah and Fatty girl Maddy. 

Deception Served Sweet

                                              "Deception Served Sweet" 

                                                              Prologue 

                                                      December 18, 1993

   "Aye man what's taking so long" Tedrick mouthed from the front seat. D Nice sat in the back seat slowly puffing on a blunt as his mind thought back to three day's earlier when he'd visited his momma's house. She was so happy to see her baby boy helping with the Christmas lights. D Nice had hung Christmas lights all around the window seal. Faye just stared at her boy smiling. She didn't quit understand how he'd made such a tragic turn in life. Within months he'd gone from star football player at his high school to a teenager she hardly even knew, yet and still she considered him her baby. "Damarcus", Faye called out getting her son's attention. "Ma'am" he replied stepping away from the window admiring his work. That boy still got skills he laughed to himself 

 "You doing ok, you aint getting in no trouble huh?"

"Naw mama, I ain't doin nothin", he assurred her with a grin exposing his famous dimples. He threw his arm's around her shoulders "Stop worrying old lady, I'm good".....

  "D Nice" Tedrick called out again interrupting D's thoughts

"What nigga!" D Nice yelled back passing the blunt back to Tedrick

"Rashard just paged me 007,  we should go inside in bout two minutes"

D Nice looked around the small parking lot. No other cars other than the employee's were there. He then slide the ski mask on over his head. 

"Lets go" D said to Tedrick .

 Tedrick replied back with a nod of the head both the boys quickly jumped from the car gun in hand, dressed in black dickie suits and gangsta Nikes. Ski mask covered there faces as they ran into the Pawn Shop with pistols drawn. D Nice went to the left while Tedrick went to the right. The first person they noticed was the nigga who set the lick up "Rashard" who also worked for the Pawn Shop. D Nice placed the gun to Rashard's temple. "Open these cases and load up all this mutherfucken jewelry nicca" D Nice quickly pulled a bag from his back pocket, throwing it at Rashard.  Tedrick to his right snatched the owner up, an old white man by the collar of his shirt throwing him against the wall. "Face the wall and keep ya hands up"

"Please don't hurt me, why are you doing this, I have a family" the man cried

"I feel that but I gotta family too and we tryna eat now shut up bitch nigga and keep ya nose on that wall"

Tedrick then glanced over at D Nice and Rashard who was slowly placing the jewelry in the bag and instantly got mad. 

"Fuck you doing man, Hurry Up and put that shit in the bag for I pop ya ass" Tedrick yelled before turning back around to watch the owner. D Nice heart was thumping heavily as he starred at Rashard. Feeling his pager vibrate, he instinctively looked down; before he could look back up he heard a loud pop before feeling a burning sensation in the side of his neck. Gasping for breath he looked over at Rashard who was now blasting at Tedrick and landed two shots to the chest. Tedrick fell to the floor. D Nice held his neck while falling down on his knees. He heard his mama's voice "Damarcus come here boy, Damarcus mama love you, please stay out of trouble". D Nice's eyes rolled slowly to the back of his head before shutting his eyes for good.
