april songs: journey of life 7
april song 07—preferent
but the vantage of the nations,
clothed with lowly righteousness,
is unmoved by mock oblations
choked by pride and riotousness.
threnody and tears commingle
where hope faints and faith is worn;
yet, there’s neither spot nor wrinkle
where the will to live is born.
liberty spreads ample choices
in the path of every fool,
but the wise alone rejoices
by the pure life-giving pool.
preferent the sacrifices
when the age of reason flow’rs,
for to rise above the crisis

forests
each tree
proudly
as individuals,
each detailed
within
their own
manners,
each mind
firm,
the place
you remember,
but their
acceptance
to be
something
more combined
like a
community.

Freedom In My Movement (Love Found In My Stillness)
Blinders on while wallowing in sullen garments passed down by whores
Pretty words, fletched from the wishing wells, dipped in the forefathers’ tongues feeling the karma of its fourscore
Bathing in the spillage of blood, bitter fruit echoes from the tress, yet, to the mirror’s reflection promoting self-love, not found in the depth of my purifying seas
Whips and shame lament captivity housed in chains, tattered of flesh tarred and feathered, cries of freedom no more
I have seen, heard the intellect crying during systematic pain
Color blinded by whitewashed...

Whips and shame lament captivity housed in chains, tattered of flesh tarred and feathered, cries of freedom no more

Philosophy in de French quarters
I don't feel shame or remorse.
We know life ain't fair and cruel.
Gotta find your own course.
Or you get left like a fool.
So if one is down dats on you.
I'm not gonna cry at my failure.
I'll just get back up do wat I do.
I'm gonna lead my life no matter what they tell me

maybe travel
i cannot
tell you
how
many times
i want to
leave home,
travel,
decorate
passports,
suitcases,
customize
myself
with those
pictures,
feel those
foreign tongues
gesture at
my lack
of their
language,
i cannot
tell you
how
many times
i have
left home,
to return.

Rebel MIS
Dormant as winter
vital like snow
I have long walked barefoot
through these herbariums
dismembering embers
while rain casts candle glow
If I were to call you
a unicorn of the universe
an aristocrat anarchist
or simply a channeled “beared Ishtar”
you would curse me with sin bewitched enchantment
telling me how you despise this title meaning divine madness
how personification reveals each chain
“do not define me ” you would add
I would remind you how you said...

There time will come
In life I was silenced, never free
by those individuals who didn't respect me
In death
I won't rest
Feelings I will express
Agitated
Retaliation Prosecution
Vindication Exoneration
I'm free

In death

Feelings I will express
Agitated
Retaliation Prosecution
Vindication Exoneration
I'm free

jazz fan
within range,
that music
loud,
bragging,
infectious,
sometimes
laughing
with
high pitched
communication,
infatuating
my senses
drifting high,
low,
smiling
while
coming off
the stage.

the porch
the porch,
my learning
tool,
it's feet,
it's arms,
wide eyes
and constant
stare,
colored like
those of
mostly summer,
edges of
other seasons
lay in
the edges,
each day
in between
porch posts,
it's
wide mouth
vibrates
and once
tapping
each board,
brushed
with ideas
of casual
replies.

Brand New Illiteracy
With no more reverence for script
we are like the Eloi now
amid old books which won't endow
aloof cerebra ill equipped
to see the future much improved
from Anthropocentric shambles
and apocalyptic brambles
no lords of order have approved
for any Eden garden plot
on this or any other Earth,
steadfast for merriment and mirth
and by no petrodollar bought.
Come what may...we must ever read
if from that doom we would be freed.

Sit Down and Enjoy the Show (Part 2)... I Had A Dream
Bob Ross spoke to me last night
in my dream he told me,
don't just use an off white
use any color your wife will produce internally
it will create a much happier picture
I gave the idea some thinking
suddenly
A small cardinal appeared on my window sill
I handled one of god's creatures with care
placed the cardinal in my Afro and felt free
I may try this experiment tonight
my girlfriend is coming over again
lets see what happens...

BLACK FANGS (translated for an easier horizontal read)
Bloodthirsty barren broken bats brutally believe
Leftover lucifer laddened lackluster lives leave
As angels angrily abandon anxiety
Cannibalistic cynicism compliancy
Knowing knowledgeable knives kill
Fatalistic fantasy finally filled
As avid assassins appear abnormal
Nourished nativism narcism normal
Graspinggrinding gasping grievances get gnashed
Society successfully silenced six senses slashed
Leftover lucifer laddened lackluster lives leave
As angels angrily abandon anxiety
Cannibalistic cynicism compliancy
Knowing knowledgeable knives kill
Fatalistic fantasy finally filled
As avid assassins appear abnormal
Nourished nativism narcism normal
Graspinggrinding gasping grievances get gnashed
Society successfully silenced six senses slashed
