Welcome to the John Edwards Project

The John Edwards Project was created to change the world through writing. Opinions, views, platforms, etc...are nothing new, but ofttimes they require a deeper understanding that goes beneath the surface when expressing these beliefs to ensure the human element is not forgotten. As you take a closer look into this world that we live in through my writing, you may be surprised at what you learn and discover.

Denial

I find myself battling this controversial admittance
ironically enough, it started in the kitchen
she asked for a glass of water, but what she really wanted
was ATTENTION

Mistaken Identity

O nce again you managed
to take it too far
leaving a scar
for someone else to have to doctor
while you sit at home eating imitation lobster
pathetic impostor but look what you cost her:
time wasted, completely EXPOSING
her emotions NAKED

Punching Bag



I must admit that last hit
d i s l o c a t e d her jaw
while c-o-n-n-e-c-t-i-n-g me to the law
seems so strange
how the police could tame a beast
who rejected peace and refused to cease
from putting my hands on God’s gift to man
that’s landed me in this cell
2 doors

down from HELL

The Revelation

T he united states of america is being pushed to the limit
giving unedited platforms to anyone with a VISION
with really no concern as to who may be listening
as they’re advocating oppositions, retirement incentives
yet no one is concerned on how it’s affecting their condition
and no one seems aware of their

hidden
agendas

Status Quo

I ’m inspired by liars
and doubters with priors
who spit fire don’t hire
and respect the highest buyer
passing fliers to conspire
trying to kill my desire
trip wires going off
like the missisippi mass choir

Who’s The Blame

I ‘m finding it hard to defend my actions
while i’m still packing this .45
keeping me alive with a challenge pride
in spite of my conscience having already
DIED

The Show

T he stage was set, new characters in place
never knowing what to expect
another name another face
waiting for your performance
expectations E N O R M O U S
though you appear to be harmless

She Knows

S cent of perfume
stand-offish moods
unknown caller
lipstick on collar
she knows

Flatline


I ’m so sore inside
from pretending to hide
the fact that i don’t see
the ATTACKS
that you create, but make no mistake
that my internal condition
keeps my attention in a state of fixation

The Circus

S urrounded by clowns
with faces of contempt
bodies
limp from exhaustion
from fail attempts (but still intent)
on costing me my promotions
through commotions of red tape
handshakes fake
as politicians speeches
