Within Inks of Africa
I find myself lost on the brink
of a darkening African ink
rivers flowing up from the south
still conceal their alluvial mouth
Beyond photoshoots in the mist
more than just some bucket list
another task to then complete
sampling this life still bittersweet
Enduring harsh afternoon rain
this deeper phantom pain
from a homeland once lost
with its ever confounding cost
As I feel this...
of a darkening African ink
rivers flowing up from the south
still conceal their alluvial mouth
Beyond photoshoots in the mist
more than just some bucket list
another task to then complete
sampling this life still bittersweet
Enduring harsh afternoon rain
this deeper phantom pain
from a homeland once lost
with its ever confounding cost
As I feel this...

Haile Selassie Is Not God
Rastafarians will feel animosity towards the author of this composition.
Emperor Haile Selassie was a wicked and corrupt ruler, not God.
He did not care about the underprivileged people of Ethiopia.
Millions of Negroes starved and suffered under his oppressive leadership.
The uncivilized Rastas rejoiced that their god was coming for them.
His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I visited Jamaica on April 21, 1966.
And he needed an interpreter to translate between English and his tongue.
What kind of god does not understand the language of...

MYSTIC MOONLIGHTS MAASAI SPELL (3-26-89, 'Oh My God' Hot Springs, Anza Borrego Desert Badlands, Southern California)
naked beneath
my blanket draped body s
nocturnally wandering form
as i walk on
out into this raw
primal night alone
my shadow elongates
out across this vast
flat moonlit desert floor
cast under luminous
mystically soothing moonlight
my shadow elongates
horizontally before me
as it maasai s out
just ahead of me
in graceful silence
slipping stealthily over rocks
sleeping cactus and seemingly endless
miles of moonlit sands beyond
it stretches...
my blanket draped body s
nocturnally wandering form
as i walk on
out into this raw
primal night alone
my shadow elongates
out across this vast
flat moonlit desert floor
cast under luminous
mystically soothing moonlight
my shadow elongates
horizontally before me
as it maasai s out
just ahead of me
in graceful silence
slipping stealthily over rocks
sleeping cactus and seemingly endless
miles of moonlit sands beyond
it stretches...
