POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The odometer of my life is hidden from me which has me worrying about my legacy Is my existence a part of an eternal plan or am i just leaving temporary footprints in the sand Either way even if it is just spam i write therefore i am
Propaganda
Make America Great Again is that same tired old line
that I ain't buying this time
Selling us another bill of goods
while people go hungry, homeless and shot at in our hoods
Poisoning, land theft. rape and murder are the real parts of the story
of America's so-called glory
We have a 34 count Felon as President Elect
come on now y'all what the heck
The MSM would have you believe a Zebra is a Panda
bc they have sold out and want you to fall for Right Wing-Propaganda
that I ain't buying this time
Selling us another bill of goods
while people go hungry, homeless and shot at in our hoods
Poisoning, land theft. rape and murder are the real parts of the story
of America's so-called glory
We have a 34 count Felon as President Elect
come on now y'all what the heck
The MSM would have you believe a Zebra is a Panda

Never Goes Out Of Style
In America when it comes to fashion there is always a change
and clothes come in a wide price range
sometimes dresses, and sweaters have suede or leather patches
made in china in large batches
there are an infinite number of accessories
that shine like lights on Christmas trees
but, when comes to race, folks walk around with a phony smile
with hate in their hearts-that never goes out of style

Buyer's Remorse
When the candidate that you voted for has major flaws
they can't be returned via the lemon laws
Even if you have justifiable cause
life is not a VR game that you can reset or put on pause
A Tariff is a tax
and those are the facts
ICE for some will be their newest escort
and for their whole family they will deport
Should they put up a fight-on their throat they will place a knee
and get away with it bc they will have full immunity
Trump voters in due course ...

A Reality Check
The election of President Harris for POC will not a panacea
she won't come in six guns blazing silver bullets to free ya
Yes there will be a new Female Sheriff in town
but the KKK and Neo Nazis will still be around
The US System will still be broken
even when have our latest Black token
The evils of sexism, racist, misogyny, transphobia and xenophobia will still exist
and slap us in the face every morning with a clenched fist
In the end
for my people more "symbolism over substance" once again
With...

Chemically Lynched
The US justice system is broken
I wonder if Kamala will be just another token
The powers that be
don't want POC to be free
They keep us wage slaves on their high tech plantations
and when we are murdered rarely give us legit explanations
We are just pawns they sacrifice
and about it never even think twice
Tonight my soul flinched
when I heard Marcellus Williams was-Chemically Lynched
I wonder if Kamala will be just another token

An Army Of Two*
An Army of two
just me and you
By day we were freedom fighters
our parties were blow out all nighters
Burning the candle of life at both ends and in the middle
while working to solve the meaning of it's wondrous riddle
Our love was a romance
continuous like a marathon dance
The whole wide world was our turf
together we were willing to battle all who inhabit planet Earth
Kicking butt back to back like in the movie Mr and Mrs Jones
they couldn't stop us even if they called in their drones
...

Donny Boy
Oh, Donny boy the polls the polls are falling
From Red State to Blue they continue to slide
For you to drop out of the race people were calling
before your runaway train of lies goes off a mountain side
At one time in the Presidential race you were ahead
But, now your campaign is on it's death bed
At the debate you doubled down on your bets
and Yelled "They're eating your pets"
The Moderators did a real time fact check
So, your next job will be to rearrange chairs of the Titanic's main deck ...

Scrubs Need Love Too
Dear Beautiful Nubian Sister Queen
why did you have to be so mean
I was just saying Ooh La La
and you acted like I was disrespecting Allah
I was just trying to Holla
does everything have to be about the almighty dolla
With a woman like you I could be a Millionaire
instead of steps away from Food Stamps and Medicare
Just remember this last thing Boo

My Winning Hand
Playing the roulette wheel
has never given me a thrill
My luck with the dice
has not been that nice
Love is my favorite game of chance
and with you i want a romance
You are my pocket aces in the hold
my winning hand that i will never fold
I am ready to call all in end
Together baby we can't help but win
(Repeat hook)
For me betting on Keno
is a big no no
wagering on the old bingo
my return has been is just so so
playing that one armed bandit
i just can't stand it

Kamala
Her name is not Pamela or Cam-a-la
it is pronounced Comma-la
She is the blooming Lotus flower of our fair state
and for me that fact is not up for debate
A woman with a winning million-dollar smile
who wears pearls as an homage to classic female style
As fierce as any Lioness at defending her Pride
and the reason why Kavanaugh cried
Her grilling of Barr proved he is unfit
and he was forced to quit
The first woman, Black and South Asian, to be a President
and I can’t wait for her victory in the main event
it is pronounced Comma-la

Hidden Agenda
The MSM is owned by Wealth White Men
and many of their stories belong in a trash bin
On a real topic
they are often Myopic
And on the wrong ones too grandiose
and way too verbose
They cover Presidential elections like a horse race
but, many times get wrong who's in first place
Because they need controversy
and are afraid of Trump bc he will show them no mercy
They will have you believe that Sugar is Splenda
don't get fooled by the MSM's-Hidden Agenda
and many of their stories belong in a trash bin

they are often Myopic
And on the wrong ones too grandiose
and way too verbose

My 1970's-Chicago
Watched movies at UA, Oriental and McVickers
the rats lived on crumbs from my snickers
Films about pimps, drug dealers and a Black private dick
they drove caddy's, wore furs, leathers and talked slick
Back in real world was "Nam", Watergate and Nixion's dirty tricks
and 2 World Championships for the Knicks
Apollo 13 never landed on the moon
and NASA killed the project way too soon
Drank Boone's Farm and Ripple
Watched Roberto Clemente who rarely hit a triple
Bought stacked heel from Flagg Brothers ...
