many many faces
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will
not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

white & black
i had a conviction
that if i let myself
i’d live to be old
all things being equal
in your wildest dreams
you never had that
that if i let myself
i’d live to be old
all things being equal
in your wildest dreams
you never had that

We are all tame liberals now we speak the same language
we believe in niceness and the brotherhood of man our way.
God is a liberal too, and the great ghost will not strike us down
if we sin but forgive us as a matter of liberal routine.
You are free to express yourself if you follow a few guidelines
accept the political drivel the newspapers serve you as truth
and stop believing you are better than us.
If you do, we have our way to bring you back from your rough
ideas, you cannot be a contrarian in our world.

those underdogs never needed fixing
if they try
spitting in
your face
on entering
a room
stay here
for a little
while
if they
lashing out
or curse
at you
search for
my face
i'll be waiting
for you
if they try
tearing you
from every
limb
reach out
your hands
i'll take
both of
them
spitting in
your face
on entering
a room
stay here
for a little
while
if they
lashing out
or curse
at you
search for
my face
i'll be waiting
for you
if they try
tearing you
from every
limb
reach out

Nose Candy Or Nose Ring
Bodies laid upon the battlefield as a many patch worked quilt
Our masters were proud of the loyalty and carnage, bearing no guilt
We wanted their possessions, while they wanted to control us
Our masters looked upon the continuous killing without an ounce of disgust
There were secrets being kept, conspiring between supposed opposing heads
Their destinies were forever entwined regardless of how many were reported dead
From their towers they watched tortures drawn out, along with head shots
Screaming warriors disemboweled, and left on the fields to rot ...

pass me not
A song of freedom and hope for everyone everywhere in the world
who feels oppressed by the misdeeds of others
-i-
pass me not
like a shadow
at your feet
to trample en route
to your high horses
or lofty mountains.
acknowledge me
before the sun burns out,
before the rocks cry out
beyond a shadow’s doubt.
i am the souls of black folk,
essential ebony
that melts the irony
of freedom wearing chains.
of pavements
choked on...
who feels oppressed by the misdeeds of others
-i-
pass me not
like a shadow
at your feet
to trample en route
to your high horses
or lofty mountains.
acknowledge me
before the sun burns out,
before the rocks cry out
beyond a shadow’s doubt.

Woman Lover
Have you ever talked to a woman before?
A woman can give you love, happiness, and even more.
But in the past, women were seen as the lesser gender,
But that’s just not right, and I want to be the gap mender.
Women deserve lots of love and attention,
They deserve lots of hugs and other things I should mention.
A woman is courageous, a woman is bold,
Someone to talk to, someone to hold.
And if you meet one, you love more than the others,
Love them like you would love a sister or brother.
They need lots of cuddling...
A woman can give you love, happiness, and even more.
But in the past, women were seen as the lesser gender,
But that’s just not right, and I want to be the gap mender.
Women deserve lots of love and attention,
They deserve lots of hugs and other things I should mention.
A woman is courageous, a woman is bold,
Someone to talk to, someone to hold.
And if you meet one, you love more than the others,
Love them like you would love a sister or brother.

This is not a myth
Some say
anonimity is a woman
charcoal chastity unspoken
barriers protect silent veils
in the aquariums of her ebon eyes
faint ballerinas are dancing
when her void unsung
forms break scattered shackles
lucidity levitates from these paintings
granite circles
swollen cheekbones will remind
how violence not has a gender
though a name
that ought not ever
to be spoken
anonimity is woman
though often also
each of these...

Other Side Of The High Rise
Subversive in cursive cause of these disparities
Three fifths of me is vexing over hypocrisy
O' say can you see the American dream's a fantasy
Forty mules selling you an acre's view of fallacies
Equality's a reality that is seldomly seen
Majority doesn't rule in an electoral scene
REP your team if you still believe any of DEM
When waters get high, you better know how to swim
Don't allow R.E.M. to divert your attention
Don't allow them to tell lies to your vision
Envision the tides on the other side of the high rise ...
