Rumbles In The Jungles
Many choose to slumber as the thunder rumbles in the sky
As the system continues to blunder under America's watchful eye
Do doves cry when timber is tendered by a lumberjack
Garnering more empathy & energy than those considered black
Those who've been under attack since Jack & Jill went up the hill
Whose votes & Bible quotes won't stop them from being killed
Unable to heal & still feel like refugees on their own land
Where the sprees stay on repeat like videos on demand
Goddamn; even during a pandemic this bullshit...

The condemned Prisoner
My time is close now, it’s my fate
This thought of end as the time fly
Wasted my life I ought to treasure
Never thought this life I had of pleasure
Would rots away in a confided cell
I feel empty, full of regret and shame
Whereas my soul departs and I to be blame
Lonesomeness and fear encloses me
Wishing for a miracle with my clemency
Denial of appeal and there is no stay
No appetite as the hour draws near
Thinking about my final words of smear
This death house cell reflects of my life
Wish I could end it all with...
This thought of end as the time fly
Wasted my life I ought to treasure
Never thought this life I had of pleasure
Would rots away in a confided cell
I feel empty, full of regret and shame
Whereas my soul departs and I to be blame
Lonesomeness and fear encloses me
Wishing for a miracle with my clemency
Denial of appeal and there is no stay
No appetite as the hour draws near
Thinking about my final words of smear
This death house cell reflects of my life
Wish I could end it all with...

Medal Of Honor
Looking into a mirror, Baal and me face to face
He said if I was you this wouldn't be the case
There wouldn't be a bitch that wouldn't fear being harmed
I would take this whole fucking city to a full alarm
I would have blood pouring as if by storm
Pain and suffering would become the fucking norm
I saw what he was saying with the mirror showing the flick
I saw myself opening a gator's mouth and making her suck my dick
I told her no lips and tongue, just give me teeth
I'm fucking this cold blooded bitch, so I don't have to beat...
He said if I was you this wouldn't be the case

I saw what he was saying with the mirror showing the flick

Stuck inside a question
And an answer you can't give
Which words do we use
To come to terms with this
I see you lying there
You smile
But are you lost inside
Imprisoned in yourself
Language barriers
Your heart speaks beyond words
Open your eyes
I'll listen to what you're trying to say
The light interprets
Both their joy and their sorrow
Waiting for you to return
Will I see you tomorrow?
Or is hope a tomorrow that never comes
As we're left longing for a miracle
Yet failing to see
Death is as...
And an answer you can't give
Which words do we use
To come to terms with this
I see you lying there
You smile
But are you lost inside
Imprisoned in yourself
Language barriers
Your heart speaks beyond words
Open your eyes
I'll listen to what you're trying to say
The light interprets
Both their joy and their sorrow
Waiting for you to return
Will I see you tomorrow?
Or is hope a tomorrow that never comes
As we're left longing for a miracle
Yet failing to see
Death is as...

Infusco ad Lucem
When darkness prevails and the deafening silence shattered
He who cometh unto me, shalt suffer my wrath
Undefiled knowledge, none but the mightiest may cleave a path
To the wisdom unknown, forever lost in the depths of hell
Heed my words; ye must gaze into the abyss to save thy self
Thou art forever bound here amongst the screaming souls
When darkness prevails and the deafening silence shattered
He who cometh unto me, shalt suffer my wrath
Who am I, and what shall be the signs? Thou knowest not
I am above you and in you, now ye...
He who cometh unto me, shalt suffer my wrath
Undefiled knowledge, none but the mightiest may cleave a path
To the wisdom unknown, forever lost in the depths of hell
Heed my words; ye must gaze into the abyss to save thy self
Thou art forever bound here amongst the screaming souls
When darkness prevails and the deafening silence shattered
He who cometh unto me, shalt suffer my wrath
Who am I, and what shall be the signs? Thou knowest not
I am above you and in you, now ye...

Luctus Aeternus ( A collab with NewBeginnings)
No one wants to die
But who really wants to live forever?
In theory, it seems nice
But in reality, is it any better?
Living without an ending...
Like a play without a final scene
A bleeding heart, never mending
In a neverending dream.
When everyone you ever loved
Begins to die before your eyes
You'll cry out to the skies above
And wish for your demise
A lone and forgotten life,
But a faded memory on the page
Where dreary days...
But who really wants to live forever?
In theory, it seems nice
But in reality, is it any better?
Living without an ending...
Like a play without a final scene
A bleeding heart, never mending
In a neverending dream.
When everyone you ever loved
Begins to die before your eyes
You'll cry out to the skies above
And wish for your demise
A lone and forgotten life,
But a faded memory on the page
Where dreary days...

Our Babies
I looked into the eyes of my Vulture
And she stared back at me
After a night of making love on the battlefield
We'd seen what we came to see
Bodies splayed and displayed in every way
The earth was a graveyard full of decay
We walked the plains, soared over mountains
The only thing left was my Shame
We adopted Shame, little more than a fledgling
We taught it to eat of the carcasses to learn Pain
Once introduced they refused to be separated
If Shame was lagging, Pain waited
My Vulture and I were shit for...
And she stared back at me
After a night of making love on the battlefield
We'd seen what we came to see
Bodies splayed and displayed in every way
The earth was a graveyard full of decay
We walked the plains, soared over mountains
The only thing left was my Shame
We adopted Shame, little more than a fledgling
We taught it to eat of the carcasses to learn Pain
Once introduced they refused to be separated

Slipknots and windpipes
The shipping lane is sand-banked
a starched collar feels sharp
against a Captains weathered skin
stepping out into traffic.
I should be double bagged,
still I tear under the weight
spilling each day at the front door,
on my knees for apples and tin cans.
The letters slide from the page,
perhaps words hide away
afraid of what others would read
I could write a murder
to bring them back.
My tap dance routine
is well rehearsed, no mistakes
from these frail chair legs,
a top hat above the tales.

HIS FUNERAL SONG
my fire
is burnt
low
and blue,
meager
'gainst this
creepin' cold
and my spark
is cool as ash,
its light
filtered through
these clouds
and all my
whispered prayers
and incantations
are mist and fog
'gainst this
what cannot be
deflected
and her,
jus' one more
in the ground --
my brother, my mama,
and now my sweet girl
and then it's just
ol' me' standin'
with suit pants baggin'
and knees worn
and jacket and tie
like i'm dressed for it ...
is burnt
low
and blue,
meager
'gainst this
creepin' cold
and my spark

The Pilgrimage To Mecca (Straight Talk)
Forgive Them Father For They Know Not What They Do
In the civil unrest years of the 1960's minorities needed hope, we needed prayer to bridge racial disparity among the masses.
I am writing this in regard to an important part in our history, some if not all have long forgotten, in addition, for those who have survived it.
May your nights be restful and for the ones who were left beyond, may the memories stir your mind to give it much needed comfort and rest.
Let’s visit...

Newspaper
I just want to read my newspaper
And be nice to the people around me
And destroy the world
And when I look inside myself
I destroy the First Wall
Of predicament in exercising
Every simple little law
And be nice to the people around me
And destroy the world
And when I look inside myself
I destroy the First Wall
Of predicament in exercising
Every simple little law
