POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Treason
Money never made men much richer/
see your signature through that picture/
made my mind a mixture/
of dark dreams/ homeless fiends/
sleepless nights are fixture/
listen, last lecture on life lessons/
doubt you catch the essence/
do you sense my presence/
yo a few rules you can't violate/
so let me set the record straight/
I love those you love to hate/
hip hop heavy weight/
wonder who will wait, at the gate/
can't carry the weight/
your world I will annihilate/ I won't hesitate/
if you cross me/...

Yo I'm tired of writin' the same rhymes/
can't keep repeating the same lines/
calm like a cat with nine lives/
life is full of lies/only few realize/
we all waiting for demise/ drama and lies/
can you hear the concealed cries/
look back at life and revise/
remember always to stay wise/
success befalls him who tries/
the world is full of wolves in disguise/
liars and snitches I despise/
look for light/ past the snake eyes/
trials and tribulations/ time to rise/
shit took me by surprise/
now I am writin' for the Nobel Prize/...

Listen
Since you can sense my listlessness/
I would like you to listen to this/
you the one I really miss/ Miss/
so don't miss the message/
I done sinned and been senseless/
now I feel fine/ put my soul in a line/
I'm cold when I rhyme/ forget about place and time/
facin' labefaction/ runnin' from temptation/
I ain't patient/ no time for hesitation/
I lately lost love/ life looks like lassitude/
no one showing gratitude/
why ya'll so full of hate/
I never chose success/ it was my fate/
trying to trap me and break my faith/ ...

Lost and lonely
all good comes to those who wait/
my shoulders shaking, can't carry the weight/
afraid/ that hate/ will take my fate/ away/
it's time to pray/ cuz soon it's time to pay/
no more time to play/ nothin' left to say/
it might happen any given day/
I'm lost and lonely/ lost my homie/
the only righteous amongst the phony/
as the wise man once told me/
talk is cheap/ but it does feed/
the sheep/ who walk in sleep/
who trust his eyes/ and don't see the lies/
spreadin' like the Black Plague/
brothers don't see...

Drama
My conscience eatin' me alive/
desperately trying to survive/
disillusioned/ deemed destructive/ demonized/
desperate and desensitized/
don't dare depress the dream/
the devilish desire done damage/
deserted and dreadful/ labeled a savage/
far from the average/ caught in a marriage/ with Mary/
searchin' for a sanctuary/
I'm tired but can't sleep/
I'm hungry but can't eat/
need to feed the good deed/
stand strong on my own two feet/
I'm like the lost sheep/ shit is deep/
can...

Against all odds
Our thoughts are fuel for the fire/
against all odds we still shine and inspire/
aiming at the top and even higher/
no need to retire/ as skills do not expire/
This attack to me ain't clear/
I feel confused/ I feel full of fear/
few put faith in the final hour/
I spit fire, like a volcano spittin' lava/
Far beyond my imagination/
facin' personal development and rehabilitation/
now no hesitation/ but what when tasting the temptation/
oh God give me power and patience/
to go through tough times and isolation/ ...

Corrupt Coup
The coup came creepin’ causin’ conflict/
confused/cuz chaos consumes logic/
cultural clashes came closer/
kill and conquer/
cursed, like Cape Coast Castle/
creating compatible contrasts/
king claims crazy contradictions/
only seen in fiction/
one direction/
for the top/
will this madness ever stop/
army sponsored killer squad/
cleared the square/
coldly killin’ the mob/
not knowing they’d be closer to God/
I see the fall of reason and democracy/
I see the world turning...

God bless the child
Yo son honestly I am so confused/
the devil got me all seduced/
I lost it and got it back/
this my life on a track/
my greatest weakness is that I trust every man/
rule 1/ never put your life in someone else’s hand/
cuz your enemies be like snakes in the sand/
they workin’ on their own master plan/
they’ll be in disguise offering a helping hand/
but can't nobody help/ I am at war with my Self/
Dear Lord show me Your way/
guide me thru night/ and guide me thru day/
I try to stay humble, loyal and pray/
God...

Don’t let the devil take u/
trust me/ he will break u/ and mentally rape u/
cuz the devil hate u/
he is a fake saint, who tries to seduce u/
he tries to use n’ abuse you/ he choose you to be the Judas/
beware of the fact/ if you sign his contract/
there is forever no coming back/
he comes in the form of greed and lust/ green and dust/
all he talks is loyalty and honor/
all that's on his mind is the green dollar/
son, never become his follower/
this the real reality/
I speak the words of a man trapped in...
