Unfathomable
I can’t fathom the exploitation
I can’t fathom the situation
It’s recreation
It’s all a laugh
A hallucination
I can’t pretend I understand
I won’t pretend I can withstand
All the demand
It’s all a joke
It’s a damned land
I can’t pretend I comprehend
I won’t accept being condemned
Means to an exit
Means to an end
It will all depend
Depends on your fascination
Depends on your determination
To seek the truth
To seek the proof
The falsity
The validity of
Oh what’s...

Ravage
When did love become low on the agenda
When did all else supersede
When was the first time people became strangers
When was peace not a priority
When did we stop becoming relevant
Our wisdom fed to machines
When will we realize love shouldn’t be savage
Within each action we ravage
We are so starved
We are so starved
We are so starved
It’s hard to convince even myself
I love you
I love you
I love you

Social Awareness
We have contrived far too long
Disregarding far too much
Responsibility long overdue
We have abandoned far too long
Assuming far too much
Hoping our cluelessness will see us through
We have hated far too long
Hurting far too much
Feelings of compassion stripped away
We have followed far too long
Denying far too much
Responsibility has gone astray
We have accused for far too long
Condemning far too much
Never really able to accept
We have suspected far too long
Distrusting far too much
Our distaste...

Communism 2.0
Who am I, who are you?
Can this world be true?
Or are we all in fact
Stuck inside a shoe?
Who is that, who are they?
Is the world in dismay?
Or are we all broken
Beginning to decay?
Who are you, who am I?
Is reality a lie?
Locked inside your head
Are you ready to die?
Who are they, who is that?
Can you handle the crack?
We’re tangled in absurdity
About to attack!
Who am I, who are you?
What’s a girl to do?
We need a better plan
To create the world anew
Who is...

Communism
Capitalism
Ain’t the vision
That I would like to see!
Community action
An organised faction
Is what we need to be!
Liberalism
All this division
Is a catastrophe!
Socialism
The people arisen
Is where we need to be!
Communism
Is the vision
That I can foresee!

Enter Tha Badman
Another disc day dawned, now here's the scoop,
Gino Corona, released from prison, fresh out the coop.
Five years down the line, for a knife crime spree,
Now he's out, on the right path, to set himself free.
Decides on shotokan karate, and keepin' it clean,
He arrived at the dojo, it was a sight unseen.
The sensei there, the retired cop from back in the day,
Corri Coleback sent Gino, back then, on his way.
Eighth Dan black belt, no joking around,
His daughter, Mary Coleback, also wears the crown.
She's a rookie cop on the beat, and...

yea
you don't have to look defeated..
a Warrior retreated
feel depleted...
from mistakes repeated
take inventory of the soul
one day at a time
get back to grass roots of what it is
to be you
man down?...man up
there's a blessing in every lesson
in every honest confession
don't allow your faults to lessen
your greatness
manage the damage
as best you can
focus on those gifts and talents

JUST THINK
I don't want you to think like me, I just want you to think and open your own eyes 👀 and see what's happening before your own eyes. How they the powers that be are going at TRUMP, like a Black man yet they are treating Biden like a white man. NO I'M NOT PREJUDICES NOR AM I A RACIST. FOR I GROW UP IN A MILITARY ENVIRONMENT. BECAUSE OF MY UPBRINGING WITH MY GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER. Who was in WW2 at a young age so don't get it twisted, I don't want you think like me I just want you to think. 🤔 To see what is happening in today's world 🌎 of society, amongst the...

Gypsy spirit
Lights are different here,
Seem the sun won't come near.
Born in dem swamps and hood.
Now I'm in a cold damp wood.
Still it calls to my soul.
I love nature I may have said dat before.
Tent set fire burning bright.
Big Alaskan sky full of star light.
World full of ugly and beauty to.
I stand naked in the brisk moonlight.
Slender frame never been a big man.
6 pack started, thick calloused hand.
Roll another smoke sip a warm brew.
Watch the stream flow through.
Listen to the animals...

I Need Love Like a...
Hole needs empty space
A conspirator to escape from this place
An angel to fall on me from grace
A woman to sit down on my face
An advocate to ensure I win my case
A lover who won't vanish without a trace
But none of that's enough
If she won't give the dirty stuff
And play ball a little rough
And maybe shout out ruff, ruff, ruff
Yet still be soft as marshmallow fluff
With a heart that's kinda tough
Is that too much to ask for?
Cos I don't want a filthy whore
Or some old maide that's just a bore
Or one that...
