Blessed be the Fruit
(Parallels of Fictional Tales and Real-World Spells)
There are these men who claim to have more
knowledge over women’s bodies. They issue laws
to have more control over them under the guise of
morality or God and all that that is pure, and so a
plan is formed, but it’s more of an ominous map
that seems to head toward this fictional dystopia

Quoting scriptures, they look to these ancient laws,
to a time when women were stoned to death if
they were caught in the act of fornication or some
other decree that...

Too much hurt
Too much hurt: too many black people taking dives and bribery from white people just to keep modern-day slavery going. Too many people getting away with murder especially the police. Hiding behind their badge and the Department giving them awards for their wrongdoings. The city council and the board are only lining up their pockets just to spit in the people's faces who put them in just to make other cities better. They are selfish and they are playing right into the government hands. Nobody is fighting for the people, political parties lie just to shut the people up, so they can get their...

Wingtips
You really have to go
squawked the seagull
to the crow
that chimney pot's not
big enough
for two
I'm sure you'll understand
when I'm coming into land
my bigger beak and claw
will ensure
the pecking order rule
But who's that up on high
a circling in the sky
Could it be an eagle
far larger than a seagull
looks like we'll both be back
in flying school
squawked the seagull
to the crow
that chimney pot's not
big enough
for two
I'm sure you'll understand
when I'm coming into land
my bigger beak and claw
will ensure
the pecking order rule
But who's that up on high
a circling in the sky
Could it be an eagle
far larger than a seagull
looks like we'll both be back
in flying school

Straight Talk Live (Unsportmanship)
How would one ever know their passion of achievement if not willing to take the risk for the greater good. The laws of gravity are meant for the earth, to uplift the mind, soften the heart, and to spiritually enlighten the spirit of the soul.
We all get up each morning, hoping, praying for one more chance of survival in this realm we call life, however, we refuse to move or adjust to make our circumstances much better, more productive to enjoy the fruit of our labor.
This country is at a dire crossroads. It makes one ask of themselves,...

… skin
beautiful to me
as it is to you,
but through our hue
is a separate view,
skin for some
is where it begins,
ignorance not humanity
equality’s evil twin,
in three hundred years
this era will end,
all will have
the same color of skin,
but that’s no task
for the hateful men,
thats when renewed
old styles start to resend
it’s human nature
all over again,
different looking ears, ...

This Is Fine
For every man that ever slept soundly
A blade under the pillow
was the ocean around his island
Who would have thought
the dividing line
between peace and degradation
was exactly razor thin
Come down from there, they say
no need to stay alert
perched in your crows nest
keeping watch for sharp rocks
waiting to punch through ship shells
Come down from there
enjoy the company
drink, be merry
wait for whatever life brings
If our cups end up filled
with brine instead of rum
we...

A Civil Discourse
So it starts with a welcome to country
Which for some reason doesn’t sound too welcoming?
And seems to be about ownership & possession
And hidden behind the words is skin colour & racism
And revenge & hatred for the sins of the past
And the mistakes of the past still seem to be repeating
Only now they’ve been twisted around to the other side
And it’s all about sides & which side people are on
And the bigotry of the past is replaced by a new bigotry
So who is worth more now - black, brown, yellow, white?
And how is it valued –...

A Single Flame
Heat and light
a solidarity warrior fighting in a world as dark as night
Battling the cold wind
and the temptation of sin
Seeking to manifest my destiny
without falling into the trap of religious zealotry
Sharing the blessings of spirituality
and opposing the self-centered insanity of humanity
A character in search of his Author
who didn't come here by a flying saucer
I will share my insights via my poetry in spite of an occasional drought
until the day my single flame is...

Friendly Fire
We fucked among the bodies, blown off hands grabbing breast
Severed legs helping us to dig in, who started this mess
Babies born and grown right here on the battlefield
The killing switch has been flipped, humanity has lost it's protective shield
How do you turn it off, once the switch has been turnt on
How do you dam up all of this aggression once the juices start flowing
The young set off as squads all headed in different directions
Their weapons and team members are their only protection
As we move battlefield to battlefield, we...

Early Edition
Am I, my own worst enemy
Because I'm believing what the news is telling me
Once an entity within itself, protected by the constitution
Then shitted on the public at large and then joined the institution
Shit getting pimped by every politician with or seeking an office
Each telling the same fucking lie and hoping that you don't notice
They say, "climate change is just bullshit about as real as planet X
If we listen to the scientist on this, who knows what's next"
They have collectively joined forces, although they deny it to the...

Status Quo
Any other day, we could've made it
Any other day, We could've shared this world
We could had travel the globe, land to land without borders
You could had shared your garden, and I could had shared my water
White and brown sharing meals at the same fucking table
Equally sharing, no hostility, no dam labels
Any other day, we could've made it
Any other day, We could've shared this world
No looking for a nine or an uzi, you can't find it
The need never arose to ever design it
Peace has gone global, no need for the...

Seekers Of Destruction
What I say I don't do with scorn
But the Egyptians used trigonometry thousands of years before Pythagoras was born
The seekers of the way saw that knowledge was needed
So they traveled the face of the planet trying to feed it
Man, hahaha is indeed a strange creature
Being wasteful is but one of his many features
Food, resource, ability, and even precious human life
Man has a blatant disregard for human life
Let me hit you in the mouth with a little bit of the truth
Who else would pay there farmers not to produce
Babies...
