POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I’m not the best urban poet, but I sure as hell carry myself as such. The alter-ego that is Daddy Phantom isn’t very humble, but the vessel (me) is.
Upside Down
One flower grown
On an Apocalyptic Landscape
Does not make a garden
From a wasted race
Sharecropper
Minimum wage paid
Prison Cage
Or trained Brainwaves
A Slave is the same
Present company included
I’m not the God or Goddess but
I stand closer to Horus and Isis
Than most I’ve met
North
West
East
To South Sun Coast
These days it seems as if
Ignorance pays dividends yet
When I lifted the metaphoric carpet of their existence
I flipped my script and
With a quickness
Thanked the Heavens I wasn’t given ...

Sins of Mi' Brethren
No more Martyrs
Just activist leaders
That can’t control the Peter and
The assassinator of characters
Forwards the pictures
To a generation
Forced to forget and forgive because
Farrakhan
Isn’t Malcolm and
Jesse Jackson isn’t Martin
By stretch of the imagination
The Tree of Righteous Prophets
Has been poisoned by carnal sin and
The fruit picked is rotten but
Consumed by a public
Desperate for a savior
Or anything bearing the slightest resemblance

The Jungle
Jumping in with both feet
Knee deep
Historic
Metaphysic Mysteries
Inexplicable
Allegories are tangled webs spun
Work done by a variety of Arachnid
Is the agenda Righteous or Wicked
My former ignorance is Retrospective Bliss
A servant so humble to the claws that rocked my cradle
Yet
That was then and
This isn't him
Rawest information and awareness are magnets suspended
Attracts critics and cynics
Demon Rhythms on Zephyrs of Ill Wishes
Contradiction...
Facing the Rising Son for Righteous reasons

The PhotoTron Experience (Full Metal Lyricist)
I process historic
Texts
And put them into a storage unit the equivalent of a
Wisdom-Treasure-Chest that rests next to my brain stem
To be utilized whenever I decide to blow the stardust off of it!
My passion has been
The deciphering of mysteries with Mystic Origins
Ever since this Little-Nappy-Headed-Son-of–a-Militant read his first sentence
I know what I know because
I busted many-many-book-bindings for fact-finding.
I speak because I seek
I must admit all knowledge doesn’t always sit well with the one who pursues it
Yet the ends justify the...

When the clock strikes SIX
When the clock strikes six in the morning
Tension demons awaken around the nation
Although I’ve created a safe haven
Minimizing the minion effect
I still exit on occasion and breathe their carcinogens
Obstacles we perceive as monumental
Mole hills
Compared to the mountains our Ancestor’s ascended
We failed to follow
Our sense of moral obligation and responsibility is hollowed
The mainstream
Dwelling in the Belly of the Beast
Seek Peace with the Authority
Feeling a false sense of security
The Black privileged have negotiated...

Who (Dedicated to Mike Brown and his family)
If I was a Nigga
I figure I’d be bigger
Than the average Go Getter Rooster
Chasing minuscule figures and
Chicken headed Gold Nugget Digging Hip Swingers
I’d be hair triggered
Call Gravediggers
Because
Nat Turner returned
With enough Burners and Real Mother Fuckers
To make the enemy surrender
Did I stutter my Brother and Sister?
That’s flight of the imagination
In reality
Nobody can bring out the Thug or OG in me
What they could do
Is release the Mandingo or Zulu
Which is equivalent to?
Instigating a Black Magic...

Two for one..."Equilibrator" and "Exploration"
Equilibrator
Things were moving at such a tremendous speed
I stopped momentarily
To feel the breeze and
The world passed right by me
Now I’ve seen everything necessary
Take heed to my pedigree
Writing classics by moonlight
Is more than a hobby
It’s what defines and divides
A divine African
From the masses
No offense but
Upon final judgment
I want the detachment to be well established
These written Philosophical Statements
Aren’t strictly for the audience’s enjoyment
They’re my only defense
Against the scales of...

The Punisher
If the presentation of message isn’t crisp
Its significance is missed
I’m not asking for perfection
Just a wee bit of Artist Polish
PhotoTron is the illest of the top ten crowd pleasing lyricists
Because I elbow grease lyrics and shine them with spit
Audiences may mistake my dissertations as
Fiction laden with exaggerated superlatives
Due to previous experiences but
It just so happens
My passion is separation from the masses so
I shit you not and Am honest often
Although I am powerful enough to smash novitiates
With the Afro Israelite...

Egomaniac
I am an Inter planet Transient
That possessed the Spirit of this
Sleeping African Lion
Compelling him to write lyrics
Then recite verses which make regular citizens nervous
They've heard mention of self asserted Supermen
Claiming to be closer to the one they worship than their
Pastor Preacher Reverend and
Have been forbidden to listen or even look in our general direction
Fearing eternal damnation for bearing witness to such
Blasphemous actions
I admit to being this public abomination
Guilty as sin!
Yet Ostracism is the least of my concerns...
