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
Everything Has A Number
The tally of all the words that are said
down to the hairs on your head
The time the Sunrises and Sunsets
and wins and loses of the Jets, Mets and Nets
The times we fall in love
are all accounted for by a heavenly CPA above
The total count of the women who give birth
and position of the planets when you arrive here on Mother Earth
Even down to the second you take your final slumber
because in this existence-everything has a number
down to the hairs on your head
The time the Sunrises and Sunsets
and wins and loses of the Jets, Mets and Nets
The times we fall in love
are all accounted for by a heavenly CPA above
The total count of the women who give birth
and position of the planets when you arrive here on Mother Earth
Even down to the second you take your final slumber
because in this existence-everything has a number

Theater of the Absurd
A complete lack of decorum
in what should be an august forum
Racism, Sexist and Misogyny
during the Judicial Confirmation hearing is what I see
These GOP Senators have no shame
in their "Attention Whore" seeking game
A national disgrace
with no merit to their case
Another attempt to hold Black people back
and that is a fact Jack
So as a Black Poet I am telling you the word
this had been 3 days of the GOP version of-Theater of the Absurd

Drum Beats In The Distance
Drum Beats In The Distance
their echo in my mind verify their existence
Like a runner's pulse rate they quicken
suddenly my heart with fear is stricken
Because I see the hand writing on the wall
and in the past this as meant bodies will fall
These love notes from hell before
have been the precursor to war
Young people sent off to die
sometimes all due to a lie
Innocent Mothers and Babies are too often killed
their life's...

Human Torch
Lit matches are your kiss
they fill my mind with bliss
Your perfume is rocket fuel
it has made me completely your fool
You are burning down all of my heart's walls
I am like a madman in an asylum running through the halls
My body feels hotter than 200 degrees
and you got me on my knees
I am consumed with desire
My whole being is on fire
My soul you scorch
I am now a-Human Torch
they fill my mind with bliss
Your perfume is rocket fuel
it has made me completely your fool
You are burning down all of my heart's walls
I am like a madman in an asylum running through the halls
My body feels hotter than 200 degrees
and you got me on my knees
I am consumed with desire
My whole being is on fire
My soul you scorch
I am now a-Human Torch

Huss Rap
I am trying to get some release
or even some peace
but I only see hating on the increase
Lord save me from the gazpacho police
Do it Lord posthaste
bc I have no time to waste
and all this Discrimination is a disgrace
and uglier that MTG face
Instead of looking at her I would rather get hit with mace
in any case
God, I am hungry and could use a bowl of Bouillabaisse
or even some peace
but I only see hating on the increase
Lord save me from the gazpacho police
Do it Lord posthaste
bc I have no time to waste
and all this Discrimination is a disgrace
and uglier that MTG face
Instead of looking at her I would rather get hit with mace
in any case
God, I am hungry and could use a bowl of Bouillabaisse

One More Blessing
Everyday I sow a seed
for those like me who are in need
and from the good book i read
to show myself approved indeed
That I might walk in the light
when my steps are ordered right
I am one more blessing away
from living in a brand new way
So at midnight and noon i pray
that tomorrow will be that day
My mind and body are weak
the word is the strength i seek
If i walk by faith and not by sight
I can navigate thru my darkest night
and if I AM's hand is with me
i can defeat the enemy ...

The End Is Nigh
The rainforest is dead
that's what the paper said
As the old folks said you make your own bed
and that idea fills my heart with dread
The bell tolls for you and me
but we are too blind to see
Human life will soon never be the same
in my mind echo's that sad refrain
In the wings
the fat lady sings
It is too late to ask why
bc, The End Is Nigh

Crossing The Rainbow Bridge
Our love has stood the test of time
I am yours and you are mine
44 years
and rarely tears
But, now with your hand firmly in mine
we slowly walk into the divine
There is a light up head like in my frig
together as one heart we are now-Crossing The Rainbow Bridge
I am yours and you are mine
44 years
and rarely tears
But, now with your hand firmly in mine
we slowly walk into the divine
There is a light up head like in my frig
together as one heart we are now-Crossing The Rainbow Bridge

Fool's Gold
My friends tried to give me a pro tip
that you would eventually flip the script
I said everything was good to go
but thank you for your advice though
Now it is six months down the line
and everything is not fine
At the start
I thought you had a 24 Karat heart
But, the truth be told
it's only fool's Gold
My soul you vex
bc you never reply my DM or text
You are the one that always has a complaint
but baby girl you ain't no saint
I can't get any rest
and in my own home I feel...

My Rose Colored Glasses
I find myself reminiscing, as old men do,
about the things in my life that use to be true
Back when I was driven by pure passion,
wore odd and strange clothes that I called fashion
Took every chance I could to stick it to the man
daydreamed of smoking weed while driving to Cali in a Chevy Van
After, I said a final “f-u” to my Boss
Worst case I’d seek sanctuary in the order of the Rosy Cross
Just making it through another day is a chore
Now, it is 40 yrs later and in my life it is the 4th quarter
and I will never...

A Song In The Key Of Insanity
Maga and QAnon folks are still supporting Trump
who turned this county into a dump
They wear safety belts for their protection bc it is a simple task
but refuse to wear a face mask
Numerous conspiracy theories and rumors they have said
like the one about JFK Jr. returning from the dead
The GOP has taken the concept of retro to far
and on the body politic this has left a permanent scar
Trying to turn back the hands of time
is against the will of the divine
Taking...

Playing The Back Nine
When it comes to the game of life I ain’t Nicklaus or Woods
in my younger days sometimes I could show I had the goods
Sadly, I have very little to show for my 21,900 days on the greens
no fortune or fame by any means
My poetry is my consolation prize
that I bequeath to the world upon my demise
If it brings a smile or a tear
at least you will know that I was here
Currently in America life is at best Surreal
Sturm und Drang is all I feel
With my words I sound a clarion call
to tear down these mental Racists...
