Rip The Sky
Rip the sky
Don't ask why
Stick your head through
Just look at you
Paint a cloud
Shake your ass about
Stomp the ground
All around
Praise a Lord
Swing the rusty cord
Chew the fat
Know where you're at
Blaspheme the moon
That mangy coon
Crush the ice
You're feeling nice
Swallow a star
You're going far
Tear a heart out
Let's hear you shout
Rip the sky
Now you know why
You're through you're through
We look at you
Don't ask why
Stick your head through
Just look at you
Paint a cloud
Shake your ass about
Stomp the ground
All around
Praise a Lord
Swing the rusty cord
Chew the fat
Know where you're at
Blaspheme the moon
That mangy coon
Crush the ice
You're feeling nice
Swallow a star
You're going far
Tear a heart out
Let's hear you shout
Rip the sky
Now you know why
You're through you're through
We look at you

Kuumba (Creativity)
Throughout history our creativity has been a precious commodity
Incessantly seen on the big screen & on the T.V. shows of B.E.T.
We are capable of more than just being entertainment for others
We come from bloodlines of Kemetic scientists & herbal doctors
They've been cock blocking us from erecting grandeur aspirations
In clever attempts to circumvent the invent of royal Nubian nations
Many creations have been falsely attributed to our former colonizers
The powers that be control what we see & try to decline our inspirers

Christmas Essentials 27
Power outage tonight
In my sleepy
Beachside
Community
Drinking by
Candlelight,
Hoping I don’t
Burn the place
Down
No internet
Connection so
I can’t watch
My movies
Instead, I read
A Stephen King
Novel on my
iPhone
and think about
how I haven’t
bought my mom
a Christmas
gift
yet
the power comes
back on three
hours later and
I resume my
Normally
scheduled
Program
And tomorrow my
Backup will call ...

Fall in Love with a Poet
for he will pick the
flower in bloom,
and before muttering
any futile chant;
“she loves me...
she loves me not...”
he recounts every silk petal
as it pertains to each of your
newly polished components
one
by
one
by
one
Fall in love with a poet:
before
he mentions
the allure of our
shimmering sky;
he will pull down a star
to show you its dull glow,
perhaps in need of...

Prophesy of A King
Been blinded, silenced & forcibly made deaf
Trying to keep hidden his knowledge of self
Truth's been hidden in stealth his entire life
The awakening of it is causing internal strife
With a knife, he slices through layers of deceit
Establishing a foundation underneath his feet
Instead of conceding defeat he's building arsenals
Jumping off the rides of lies in this life's carnivals
Enlightened 'bout the animals & cannibals in power
Feeding off of the ignorance; getting rich by devour
Seeing how they all get sour...
Trying to keep hidden his knowledge of self
Truth's been hidden in stealth his entire life
The awakening of it is causing internal strife
With a knife, he slices through layers of deceit
Establishing a foundation underneath his feet
Instead of conceding defeat he's building arsenals
Jumping off the rides of lies in this life's carnivals
Enlightened 'bout the animals & cannibals in power
Feeding off of the ignorance; getting rich by devour
Seeing how they all get sour...

Just a Girl
She’s seen for what she wears
for what's beneath the fabric,
Nothing more, nothing less.
She can’t stop what's going to happen next,
But that's her fault.
It’s just a regular day for you and everyone else like you.
Just something to do and forget about later.
You can act impulsively,
But it's her and everyone else like her who has to live in fear about that.
Not you,
Nor the ones who make the rules.
The ones without a care in their minds about this are the ones who are in control of her decisions.
The ones who don’t need to...
for what's beneath the fabric,
Nothing more, nothing less.
She can’t stop what's going to happen next,
But that's her fault.
It’s just a regular day for you and everyone else like you.
Just something to do and forget about later.
You can act impulsively,
But it's her and everyone else like her who has to live in fear about that.
Not you,
Nor the ones who make the rules.
The ones without a care in their minds about this are the ones who are in control of her decisions.
The ones who don’t need to...

The lion in me
I got slapped so I snapped.
I took a hit, so I threw a fit.
You stalled my progression, so I had to teach you a lesson.
You laughed at my pain, so I
left you standing in the rain.
You ignored my affection, so you were no longer the exception.
I gave you to the best, but you had me beating on my chest.
I prayed for peace, but I found out I was just a lease.
(Can a lion be tamed?)

Broken Into
Have you ever been-
utterly broken into?
Windows smashed,
contents strewn-
across the floor.
Spending nights,
fearful of your own vulnerability
wondering if all your defences
are futile and superfluous, forever
Then realising you're heart is opened and can't
be broken-
or into
utterly broken into?
Windows smashed,
contents strewn-
across the floor.
Spending nights,
fearful of your own vulnerability
wondering if all your defences
are futile and superfluous, forever
Then realising you're heart is opened and can't
be broken-
or into

BAREST BROKEN SKETCH
I drew the barest
Broken sketch
Of something
Beautiful
I never felt
So dangerous

Rivers and Blood
Rivers
And Blood
Always
Flowing
Torrents
Of lives
Lost
Under the
All powerful
Unwise
History
Repeating
Looking back
For only an
Instant
Always
Forgetting
The all too
Real
Numbed
With heavy
Sedation
And...
