The Official Blog’s Feed- Realizing You Are a PoetPeople often tell me they cannot write poetry. They say they do not know how. They say they do not think that way…whatever “that way” is. But these people are wrong. If you think you cannot write poetry, here is proof that you can. Poetry Is Not What You Think It Is Poetry isn’t one thing. There’s a dictionary definition of course, but that doesn’t encompass […]
- The You Inside of You – the Dream Within a DreamPeople are like those nested Russian dolls. You never really lose the things you were, as you get older. You just kind of add a new shell on top of them. That kid you were, that bold or shy teenager, that wild early twenty-something…that stuff is all still there. You just have to open that top layer and look deeper. You ever have a dream within a dream? I ha […]
- The Memory of TreesThe Memory of Trees One day, the girl came back to the tree, as she always did. This tree, it knew her. It sensed that, even though there were changes, this was still the same girl. It always was. “Do you remember me?” the tree asked, in its way, with a slow wave of its leaves. Of course, the girl did not hear the tree. However, she saw that slight shudder o […]
- One Sunapple St.One Sunapple St. I asked you for an apple You asked me for the sun Knowing outside of metaphors I couldn’t give you one You asked me for a miracle Right when I turned to run And against all odds I Turned around and somehow gave you one I ate my tasty apple You said I was the sun You reached for it then blamed me When the heat burned on your tongue Sometimes […]

- Waking from the DreamWaking from the Dream Waking up is hard The hibernation starts with the realization The realization that nothing is as it was supposed to be With the job lost, the failed loves, those inconvenient and pesky things Emotions Then the news says death By ingestion, breathing, walking a certain way And it’s all true, all of it So, sleep Sleep through it all Expec […]
- Fuck Yo FeelingsThe desire to want another person to hurt is wrong…and yet, it’s sometimes hard to fight it. I want to moonwalk all over your feelings. Then grab my crotch, do a spin, and walk away from you. Posted by Silencio Barnes on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 But really, sometimes you do want to hurt people. Maybe you don’t want to do it physically, but you certainly wa […]
- Just a Test – will be deletedThis is just a test post – trying to see what will happen when I post a new post to this blog – if all is well, it should automatically hit twitter and facebook. Gotta make sure the feed is updating and services are being pinged when new posts occur too. Let’s add a picture for no reason too! Let’s also add an mp3 The post Just a Test – will be deleted ap […]
- Only Sheep Need a ShepherdOnly Sheep Need a Shepherd #Quotes "Only Sheep need a shepherd!" — SilencioBarnes (@SilencioBarnes) June 2, 2009 #Quotes “Only Sheep need a shepherd!” — SilencioBarnes (@SilencioBarnes) June 2, 2009 But…is guidance so bad? I wouldn’t mind a shepherd that guided me and mines in a good direction. At the same time, I’d still like to have room to do m […]
- Popular Gay Rap Songs Are On the HorizonThere’s always been a stigma attached to gay people in the hip-hop community. But the times, they are a-changin. With people becoming more and more relaxed with the idea of gay people in our midst (mind you, they’ve ALWAYS been there), we’re seeing more of them come out. Sports figures are talking about it, musicians are talking about it, celebrities have be […]
- Should I just post raw thoughts?Had a conversation on Facebook about how I’ve posted whole essays there, but haven’t posted anything to my blog. The person who I was talking to, Niels, suggested that I just add text here and worry about all the background processes later. To consider them as editing, but let the raw text stand. So, I’ll make an effort to do that, since this blog hasn’t g […]
- Resources for Aiding the Philippines and Typhoon VictimsBy now, you should be well aware of what’s going on in the Philippines in the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda / Haiyan. Long story short, it’s pretty horrible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan_(2013) If you are looking for friends or family that are from the US: The Office of Overseas Citizens Services (OCS) is: A division of the Bureau of Consular […]
- Amongst the SatyrsAmongst the Satyrs This rap music track started as an impromptu text freestyle on Facebook last year – It came after a long time of me not writing anything new and I was a little surprised by it. The rhyme scheme and patterns were not typical of me, most notably repeated rhymes (something I always hated!). But I found that this style is what came out of me n […]
- "Our" Sacrifice“Our” Sacrifice poetry by Silencio Barnes She demanded that I cut open my shell and let drip my burning soul onto her frigid altar The steam, she said, that arises from such a conflagration would rekindle that imaginary, burning, thing that we thought we had lost so long ago She hands me the knife, for no sacrifice is sacred unless done by one’s own hand We […]
- SB Retro: Balancing My Essence (StreetsTurnRed)This retro track is really a mashup of two different little freestyles of mines. I broke em up and changed/rewrote four bars into a chorus. As usual, my language, especially in the first verse, should be your biggest clue that this is indeed an old track 🙂 As far as my rap music goes, this tracks has more of a hood feel to it. You know, that mix of gunspeak, […]
- SB Retro: Vagrant Story – PlaceWhereYouDieVagrant Story (Place Where You Die) SB Retro: Vagrant Story (PlaceWhereYouDie) by SilencioBarnes Rap and Hip Hop Music by SilencioBarnes – unsorted and various About Vagrant Story (Place Where You Die) Yup, another old retro track. Vagrant Story is yet another song about the hood…more or less 🙂 As far as any of my rap music goes, you can tell this one is old […]
- SB Retro: FeelinDaHighSB Retro: FeelinDaHigh Another old track. This song is a little more personal than my usual rap music fare. I’ve had it floating around for a while along with others. This one is called FeelinDaHigh or Feeling the High depending on how I’m feeling 🙂 A previous fan of this song (in the past) told me he didn’t like this version because I cleaned it up too much […]
- SB Retro: Spit BombsSB Retro: Spit Bombs About the Song “Spit Bombs” Spit Bombs is just a really old track I did back in the day. For some reason, to this day, many still consider it some of my best stuff despite it only really being something of a freestyle. Many will recognize the beat from Missy’s Hot Boyz remix featuring Nas (Eve and Q-Tip too). As far as my rap music goes, […]
- Dear IgnoranceDear Ignorance, Without going into detail Without sounding feeble We shall say the fact remains that We are different people You ignore my words as if my Slang makes me less equal So what makes you believe that I Would give you a sequel Goodbye, adieu, we live and die Good day, I say, goodbye Without sounding too contentious You are too relentless In your ac […]
- 1/2Remembered Works and Social StatusesBlogging My Interests I consume a ton of media. I mean…like a hell of a lot. Movies, books, television shows, podcasts, anime and various other things. The problem is, I always want to write about them, but never have the time. Many times, I will even start an article but never finish it. So it just sits there, but when I’m ready to work on it, I find that I […]
