Jangkro
(Patois)
Nahsi niegah call mi peel ed jangkro,
But mi noh kier wa dem seh bout mi.
Mi noh like picheery caw dem gi tumuch troble.
Dem fiesi bud deh noh like mi needa.
Ebry time dem si mi, dem pick mi inna mi ed.
Mi affi fly high fi get weh fran dem.
Mi jus a glaid wiay up inna di sky peaceful.

Ebryting pan di grong luk soh likke bit.
Bad mine peeple a fite gyence wan aneddda.

Mi jus wah fine a pisa rattn meat fi nyam.

Overcoming Fear
It wasn’t so much the fear of what happens after death
But the constant guilt over things beyond my control
It just felt like many of the decisions I made in my youth
Were based on the premise – I was trying to save my soul
And yet for some reason it felt like something was missing
Many of the things I saw and witnessed didn’t make sense
I had lost faith and found it and lost it over and over again
And until the veil was lifted it stripped away that innocence
Then I believed I’d achieve something with a bigger purpose
Even the little...

A New Tune for Tomorrow
In the land where the desert meets destiny’s skies,
Whispers rise from the sands where the future lies,
A vision of minds and machines entwined,
Humanity dances on the edge of the digital mind.
Where brain-computer interfaces map the thoughts untold,
Circuits woven into flesh, futures bold.
The merging of man with the pulse of machines,
In the crucible of the desert, where the new world preens.
Across the earth, under the stars we’ve known,
Potential soars on winds that have grown,
Yet, in this march toward the dawn's bright light,...
Whispers rise from the sands where the future lies,
A vision of minds and machines entwined,
Humanity dances on the edge of the digital mind.
Where brain-computer interfaces map the thoughts untold,
Circuits woven into flesh, futures bold.
The merging of man with the pulse of machines,
In the crucible of the desert, where the new world preens.
Across the earth, under the stars we’ve known,
Potential soars on winds that have grown,
Yet, in this march toward the dawn's bright light,...

Insanity Within Humanity
She looks over the edge of temptation,
They whisper in her ear,
"One more step my dear,
All your worries will disappear."
She questions her sanity,
With more pills made by humanity,
That state her mental health,
Is the reason for her insanity.
She tells herself it's time to go,
To the world's end,
No one will ever have to know.
One leap of faith,
For an angel with no wings,
She jumps forward,
Listening to the things,
She has been called.
You hear a smack,
A...

How Much Do We Actually Know?
What do we actually know about nature?
The things we know are what we conceive them to be.
How much do we actually know?
We don’t have accurate knowledge about everything we claim to know.
Misleading information exists everywhere.
How can we tell whether the things we know are true or false?
Some people seek knowledge about many things.
Others just want to know enough to get by.
We should not believe only what we see.
Many things exist beyond our knowledge.
Not everything we know is worth knowing. ...

for the sake of sanity
if it ain't worth
dying for, then
it ain't worth
arguing over
build a bridge
and get over it
buy a Van
move and on
be like the dying
and just let go
dying for, then
it ain't worth
arguing over
build a bridge
and get over it
buy a Van
move and on
be like the dying
and just let go

hiccup
gleaning from fact and fiction
with visions of past events
Sacred art is understanding
wealth of knowledge is what I crave
Putting away earthly things
The dark appears, and I look in
It is all around us
my star records are in the heavens
memories locked in code
lest they be discovered
Mortal touch is disavowed
divinity in the flesh is graced
within the numerals is the key
a bit of math, and the information comes pouring in
past happenings and the future in collision with time
There is no fate...

Empathy
What the world needs more of lately is empathy
Empathy for those who are struggling or have less
For those that are facing troubles and adversity
For those who have been ostracized and suppressed
Empathy for people with mental health struggles
Ranging from depression, anxiety and PTSD
Empathy for those with neurodivergent challenges
Varying from dyslexia, autism to ADHD
Empathy for those who are displaced and homeless
Understanding mental illness and addiction
Considering the effects of public policy in society
People who are...

Thora Flowers
unadulterated pain with its butterflywings mutated
they know how to morph but not fly
in sync with smiles that don't form from the soul
plastic, no paper will heal our planet
Who will heal the heart?
we used to know one another without talking
now we're afraid to look in each other's lying eyes
it's okay, smile nod, of course it is
penetrate the lie and sit and fib for a while
I don't know about you, but I'm dying inside
things are changing at light speed
but are they? I had a baby alive at five

Earth Crimes
We tore the last tree down
burned butterfly wings
pretended things
would be Ok
We joined the queue
at the church of too late
and waited
to be saved
still counting our dollars
while we looked the other way
burned butterfly wings
pretended things
would be Ok
We joined the queue
at the church of too late
and waited
to be saved
still counting our dollars
while we looked the other way

Homo Sapiens
A box made of mirrors
An ozone of glass
I am always alone
And it never shall pass
Blinding reflections
And cuts on my wrists
When did these shards
Enmesh with my fists?
I turn my hands over
The tears will not fade
They fall unbidden
My expression is staid
My heart hurts more
If I do not kill
So answer me this:
Should I cut myself still?
Yes, my hideous reflection
You’re more than correct
You are not in the wrong
What more to dissect?
You’ve shielded them,...
An ozone of glass
I am always alone
And it never shall pass
Blinding reflections
And cuts on my wrists
When did these shards
Enmesh with my fists?
I turn my hands over
The tears will not fade
They fall unbidden
My expression is staid
My heart hurts more
If I do not kill
So answer me this:
Should I cut myself still?
Yes, my hideous reflection
You’re more than correct
You are not in the wrong
What more to dissect?
