elegy of drums
A rolling stone gathers no moss.”
charlie beat the hell out of skin
spilling not a drop of precious blood
membrane to his feet tamed the din
of his passions raging like a flood
paradiddle dreams crowned his head
bossa nova clavé poly rhyme
syncopation sycophant-bred
of the gallantry of space and time
...

Two Hundred Smiling Orphans
On a bright and sunny morning in the early January of 1994 I stood in the peaceful tranquillity of Janusz Korczak Square within the walls of Yad Vashem, Israel's famous monument to the victims of the Holocaust, which is perfectly sited near the Jerusalem Forest on the western slope of Mount Herzl (Mount of Remembrance), Jerusalem. I gazed in awe there at a large sculptured statue portraying a bearded man embracing a dozen small children as if he was protecting them from something or someone wicked. I was, in fact, looking at a fine statue standing approximately twice life size and...

legned proof
Past the field and smoke-filled highway he can see the late afternoon sky peeking its way through the smog and chaos caused by his arrival as he waits. Deep set eyes, standing tall, a mid length tan-duster on his back, rugged boots and a Yankees cap.
Holding a Fixation Bowie in his left hand, strapped with an AR-15 hanging off his right shoulder slightly touching his hip; he exhales a cold breath of determination and passion...
Intrigue races through his blood allowing him the power to feel; It lingers on, it shows in his face. ...

How Blacks Played a KEY ROLE In The Abolition of Slavery
usually think it was all whites, and no blacks
(except for Union soldiers), that brought an end to slavery.
Not so. Blacks played a central role.
They did it in the person of Dred Scott.
His lawsuit went all the way to the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Taney. totally ruled against Dred Scott having any rights whatsoever.
Taney struck down the 3 compromises that Congress had put together over the previous three decades.
Taney ruled that slaves are property, pure and simple.
And since property is legal everywhere,
owning slaves is legal...

Indigenous America
Morally and ethically groomed over time, the United States of America its values shared, of family and a love of country are in the midst of great change.
Deep inside every American, you will find hope, determination, and a passion
to support this country and its mission to be the best it can be.
Recently, the vision for America has matured many of us have become aware of the filter that has shielded our eyes from truth allowing us to see with clarity behind the veil.
The crumbling statues of our heroes were devastating and misunderstood

Carmonorem
Heaven clears its coward clouds
crows ascend and ravens caw
as a man unfazed and proud
greets aloud the Devil's maw
the land trembles at his spear
sunlight screaming on his shield
as his roar defeats the fear
and vibrates far into the field
the coming shadow of his foes
stretches further than he sees
so his gaze begins to glow
for he is where he's meant to be
a growl of courage and respect
rises from one hundred men
their lives ready to neglect
for those they'll never see again
the Earth...
crows ascend and ravens caw

Woman Is The Glory of the Glory Of God = Woman Is The GREATEST Glory of God
Woman is the glory of Man" and "Man is the glory of God"(1st Corinthians 11.7).
So woman is the glory of the glory of God, you could say.
I framed this sentence deliberately so that i could say the "glory of the glory".
Why, well in Hebrew if you want to say the "greatest king," you say "king of kings."
The greatest or longest age/eon is "age of ages."
When the New Testament speaks of eternity or says "forever," in the Greek it says "aionos of aionos" (which translates into eon of eons.
The authors were bringing a hebrewism into the Greek.)
My point is...

Bushida Warrior
Death before dishonor
I live by a strict
warrior code
only carry cloth paper
and a bamboo pen
two instruments tucked
In my fundoshi robe
I travel long roads around the globe
I am discipline and trained to protect my household Intruders will never make it across the threshold
one tap to the throat will leave the body cold
I am a member of the Bushi
and kunoichi tribe
Samurai to the bone and soul
Jin tachi blade is plated of gold
Strapped around my back and shoulder
beautiful is the...

Heaven Sent ( Ex Girlfriend's Daughter)
She is an Angel ,
Angel sent from heaven
Her smile shows beauty
Beauty like Mona Lisa
Her beauty tend to shine
Shine on the mountain ,
Moon never beams ,
Without bring me
Beautiful Angel
Like sun shine
Sending its beams
Where everyone share and ,
Clearing all eyes
Make them seen hidden
Things that may guide ,
Guide to the right path
Her quietness speaks
She can't speak but listen
When swing her , staring
Like she wants speak to me
Maybe wonder what ,
Kind of Dad...
