Hollow
It's what your name means
Who decided to name the first child
Hollow...
Did they know something we didn't?
Names... They have meaning
They impact us in ways we don't realize
Sometimes I swear... That's all you are
Hollow...
You save lives... Fight fires
In all regards you are a hero
Meeting and surpassing everything
And yet... You message me...
When that exterior seemingly cracks
And the space underneath your skin
Reveals the empty void that lays there
Hollow
Space is a hollow that holds stars and galaxies ...
Who decided to name the first child
Hollow...
Did they know something we didn't?
Names... They have meaning
They impact us in ways we don't realize
Sometimes I swear... That's all you are
Hollow...
You save lives... Fight fires
In all regards you are a hero
Meeting and surpassing everything
And yet... You message me...
When that exterior seemingly cracks
And the space underneath your skin
Reveals the empty void that lays there
Hollow
Space is a hollow that holds stars and galaxies ...

Younger Person’s Clothes
The dreams and hopes of youth
may change as one ages
the function of life experiences
and also the loss of naivety
A lad in junior and senior high
wanted to shape government
be the first male African American
US Senator of the most populated state
Head heroes, some who were politicians
others who critiqued society with songs
poems and dramatic parts
a strong sense of connectivity
Working my way through under graduate
and volunteering on campaigns

Just Bill
Many a person we could call a hero but
have to clarify or restrict the word
but Bill Russell was always “Bill”
and “Bill” was good enough
The NCAA titles the NBA champions
rings for each finger plus one
defensive standard for centers
consummate team player
But what equally gains my respect
is his human rights advocacy
put on clinics for children in the South
heard Doctor King’s great speech
Use his feet and voice to oppose
segregation in restaurants
and in the public schools
incurring...

Into the Missed
Into the Missed
There's those
whose thoughts
are blues
as dots
that never
nowhere....
no,
not again.
Those were
the ones
who,
in my memory,
were perfection,
in all directions,
forever
new.
My last look
may not be
as stellar as
the sky
that birthed me,
but
I'm the same
as ever was....
even moreso.

The Amorist
Men, think tonight...as you are getting laid,
"Are there any riches better than this?"
Better than anything else you are paid
Which will not support your next wooing kiss?
Well obviously the answer is no.
So why do some men value more their truck
Or polish hogs to be the best in show
Rather than making effort for a fuck
Which they'll remember to their dying day
As the finest of all possible luck?
Why not prioritize a different way
To see her more by Cupid's arrow struck
After launching from all your deepest wishes?
Cupid...

Beowulf Pt.2
I asked her what his name was, then dropped the silver on the floor screaming it
His mother burst into a hysterical laugh, hoping that she was dreaming it
I should had seen the resemblance, I should had been a better parent than my own
His mother is promising death to me and the guilt wont leave me alone
I buried Grendel among my gods, a boy without a father lead wayward
I should had been proud of his many conquest instead of listening to the naysayers
His mom constantly tries to bed me and asking if I want something to eat

Beowulf
I, I am Beowulf a God among men
Adventurer of a many exploits, my beginnings touches my ends
My existence began so far away, in the dark recesses of a country town
Across an ocean and hidden behind a mountain range, no more than a whelp when found
Offered to board a ship, to be fed while learning a trade
Thirty pieces of silver exchanged hands, my parents smiled and a deal was made
Carted off to the ship, the first I’d seen the ocean or been away from home
The hard work I was accustom, but enough to eat wasn’t the norm
I learned my duties...

Heroes Are Made Not Born
The Truth is I am more disabled than him
When the world hears the name Mak Manaka
His work speaks for itself
When the world hears the name Simphiwe Mhlongo
There is silence in the room
Nobody knows who he is
Sometimes his own mother forgets that he’s even around
As she hears those footsteps she fears an unwelcome intruder
Only to realise that her son is the unfortunate surprise
Whose entrance into her space brings panic and sudden worry
It is a glaring reminder of a distance covered but whose end
May never be reached

the division
The division
Here in this landscape of bushes and crippled trees
the grotesque peace of daylight ghosts, grey boughs
stretching upward appealing to a soundless god.
“Give us today a new life.” There is only one deity
the almighty one goes under the name of Silvanus.
Those who do not understand this are doomed to
a life of empty pursuit of pleasures.
Crowded nightclubs and casinos, people trying
not to be alone in the night and face the truth
we are mortals and infrequently remembered.
Faces in a black frame, seeing you seeing...

Nature
She lifts up her enemy
Being only one
And slams the molester
Down upon ground again
The molester gives up
And cries for mercy's plea
But nature opens fire
For me and all babies upon molesting
Being only one
And slams the molester
Down upon ground again
The molester gives up
And cries for mercy's plea
But nature opens fire
For me and all babies upon molesting

LOYAL, BRAVE, AND TRUE
She ain’t exciting, no work of art
Got more brains than she has a heart
And if you dare her to, best believe she will
She’s not the heat of the noonday sun
More like midnight, moonlit run
She knows that life can be a bitter pill.
She’s stiller waters, she runs deep
She’s a heavy dreamless sleep
She knows pleasure never comes without its pains
She ain’t no mountain, standing tall
Or some sparkling waterfall
If anything, I’d say that she’s the plains.
She’s comfy in the backstage
Watching life pass by
Tells herself each day’s...
Got more brains than she has a heart
And if you dare her to, best believe she will
She’s not the heat of the noonday sun
More like midnight, moonlit run
She knows that life can be a bitter pill.
She’s stiller waters, she runs deep
She’s a heavy dreamless sleep
She knows pleasure never comes without its pains
She ain’t no mountain, standing tall
Or some sparkling waterfall
If anything, I’d say that she’s the plains.
She’s comfy in the backstage
Watching life pass by
Tells herself each day’s...

I Must Encourage U
An old man said to me
Have u ever had some
Sixty year old pussy
I said to pops this
I'm only 25 years today
And 60 age women are good looking
He said I get 45
Year old pussy
All the time
U see a fine
60 year old
Make her thine
Her pussy she held
From me and sonny
We are the same age be
And withheld it she
Did to let u be
About upon her apussy abeat
Have u ever had some
Sixty year old pussy
I said to pops this
I'm only 25 years today
And 60 age women are good looking
He said I get 45
Year old pussy
All the time
U see a fine
60 year old
Make her thine
Her pussy she held
From me and sonny
We are the same age be
And withheld it she
Did to let u be
About upon her apussy abeat
