Sidney Poitier - Not just an iconic Black Figure but also a genuinely relatable to Human Being!
By Stanley Collymore
A true gentleman who was fully
cognizant of, and similarly too
absolutely confident with his
distinctly, phenomenal capabilities
but never once, not even remotely
so, ever felt a need, to arrogantly
or despicably, be exploitative of
them. Crucially importantly, as
well, absolutely and positively
confidently enchanted proud
of who he basically was, and
consequently, never likely in
the least, to stupidly seek to
disdain, or be disrespectful
of where, he actually came ...

Humble Yourself
Don’t ever forget that you were there too
The world leaned its weight down on your back
Broke and struggling skipped hand and hand up and down your block on the regular
And how in the hell am I going to get through this was a song that your mind replayed over and over again
Regardless of how low your low was you were still at a place where you damn near lost your mind
You were no exception to the rules
That anxiety was locked and loaded and you had to figure out which step you would take that would not cause you to fall to your mental death
Don’t ever...

Without the virtuous, truly endangering and selfless sacrifices of our women, we Blacks would still be evilly enslaved!
By Stanley Collymore
Women have always played a
crucial and enduring role in
the very literal survival of
our Afro-Caribbean Black race, so
enforcedly and rather massively
profitably for the sole exclusive
benefit of the barbarous white
and supposedly the owners of
their discernibly commercially
enslaved; and attendantly so,
the brainwashed and equally
not unusually so, particularly
male, undeniably braindead
House Niggers. Naturally so,
actually cognizant of exactly ...

Dream Weaver III (Help Me Make It Through The Night)
The echoes of ignorance, my mind always unfurls
Soaring to the skies as a Red Cardinal Bird
I like it so much better up here
No more pain, and no more tears
Revelation twenty-one verse four
The moon is where my Chakras takes me too when I need peace to seep from my pores
Stirring down below
Hell, carnage, political corruption daily blows
People on the earth walking around without hope, without a care
Popping pills, anxiety,...

Melkor's Smile
Melkor was carefully hearkening
to ideas unveloping before him,
ambitious and absolute; darkening,
he smirked, abundant with vim.
He turned to blackened smoke,
swirling as a vortex of attraction.
Then his voice echoed and woke
a truce that is always in action.
"How interesting affirming a choice is.
If you have a high ideal,
even opposing the Source, rejoicings
are still a Cause that's worth the feel.
Not that I should be excused.
For crime is never to be self-belittled.
But the firm pursuit...

Evil only prospers when good people do nothing to stop it!
By Stanley Collymore
NATO is a wolf in sheep's clothing!
It's supposed to keep the peace
not surround any country it
doesn't like or is envious of, as it's
vigorously and, obviously, clearly
endeavouring to do with Russia
with its guns, and a multiplicity
of missiles. This very evidently
has been NATO's vile and also
odious sick, and naturally too
totally twisted, mission creep
since 2016; and distinctly an
action that's deceitful, quite
dishonest and equally, also

The OPS
How principled is the dictator that wages wars against his or her own people with a single decree
How skilled is the warrior that slaughters their own kin, cause they're unguarded without them
How discerning are the armies that wipeout entire townships and steal the commodities they exploit to outsiders
How reverent is any member of the elite that deceives the people they're sworn to protect
The sentiments of each vary but the story stays the same
The State makes a lot of money off of its poor citizens and their babies
This abrasive insane asylum we've named...

To The Heaven’s Glory Be Thy Name
To the Heaven’s glory be thy name
Skin of atonement I bow unto the sovereigns whose journeys have already came
If I shall fall short of thy glory before I take my last breath
May I be given wings after the ascending from the stillness of death
Before I asunder beyond the sun
Bathe my soul’s belief in thy Kingdom
On earth as in Heaven, it shall be won
I rise to take in vain the occurrences in my life that never was
Mercy be upon me
To have soothed souls...
Skin of atonement I bow unto the sovereigns whose journeys have already came
If I shall fall short of thy glory before I take my last breath
May I be given wings after the ascending from the stillness of death

On earth as in Heaven, it shall be won
I rise to take in vain the occurrences in my life that never was

Motherf**ka Season (Surgical Destruction) Part II
Nothing is ever new so motherfuckas should know what not to expect
Like broke neck bitches and bouncing ass checks,
"Because haters shit is forever without an end
So watch your back, because enemies are predator friends,
"When Abraham was commanded to sacrifice Isaac he became sick
I know he wondered was God on some divine cocaine shit,
"Just like an ex-girlfriend entertaining some new dick
You know the first gagging encounter will not end with a kiss,
"Some say Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year
Tell...

Capitalism is Terrorism
Respect the sistah that sits there and reads for you
See, The economy is a study of the way production is paid,
In land, labor, wages and taxes
The actual point of Capitalism is to extract more cash from production and away from labor leaving wealth accumulation unregulated for some people
The sky's the limit but the pie isn’t divided equally
Like, Property for example,
Back then,
We had to work on the land we couldn’t own and Child labor laws didn’t exist
Millions of acres stolen and it didn’t matter what was on paper
Then, Predatory...

Motherf**ka Season (Sacrificial Storm) Part I
Every day we have to deal with bitch-ass motherfuckas
And sometimes these gold digger bitch-ass motherfuckas,
"It feels like being in a free roaming jail
At least we would be bullshit burning if this was in hell,
"With Jesus's sacrifice he still forever weep
Red-eyed like a motherfucka, because our sins never sleep,
"In the dark is where our heart beat
Giving necromantic life to evil that serpent creep,
"Running wild so fuck showing emotions or a smile
When danger comes around the weak have 911 on speed...

Mother
I walk with mother,
Silently beneath trees.
As one of her beloved daughters,
Full of rebellion & curiosity.
Surely she gently laughs
as my eyes come alive
to the sight of butterfly wings.
Or as I trace the bark, with my fingertips,
of each passing tree.
I know the feeling of her tug,
as she beseeches my heart
to seek
to understand
her timeless melodies.
Oh, beautiful mother,
Whom...
Silently beneath trees.
As one of her beloved daughters,
Full of rebellion & curiosity.
Surely she gently laughs
as my eyes come alive
to the sight of butterfly wings.
Or as I trace the bark, with my fingertips,
of each passing tree.
I know the feeling of her tug,
as she beseeches my heart
to seek
to understand
her timeless melodies.
Oh, beautiful mother,
Whom...
