A Song In The Key Of Insanity
Maga and QAnon folks are still supporting Trump
who turned this county into a dump
They wear safety belts for their protection bc it is a simple task
but refuse to wear a face mask
Numerous conspiracy theories and rumors they have said
like the one about JFK Jr. returning from the dead
The GOP has taken the concept of retro to far
and on the body politic this has left a permanent scar
Trying to turn back the hands of time
is against the will of the divine
Taking...

Deep Underground Poetry Is Racist
I see you…
Hiding behind your buzzwords:
Inclusivity
Diversity
Are these our allies?
Caucasian Jesus with his thorny crown?
A black man stands up to a white stalker
And he’s struck down
“Back to the fields, jiggaboo”
Yeah, I see you…
White men telling me what Black Lives Matter would think of me?
How nice of you to explain what it means to be black to me
What don’t I see?
What you’re really saying is: I like them blackies just fine
So long as they ain’t too uppity

Banned from commenting
Once again they want to silence
A young black voice
Banned from commenting
Because elderly white folks
Are made uncomfortable by the language of the street
Even as they publish their own erotica
Safe erotica
Okay Deep Underground Poetry.
I’m singing off for a while
And won’t comment on anything
Y’all fucked up

Playing The Back Nine
When it comes to the game of life I ain’t Nicklaus or Woods
in my younger days sometimes I could show I had the goods
Sadly, I have very little to show for my 21,900 days on the greens
no fortune or fame by any means
My poetry is my consolation prize
that I bequeath to the world upon my demise
If it brings a smile or a tear
at least you will know that I was here
Currently in America life is at best Surreal
Sturm und Drang is all I feel
With my words I sound a clarion call
to tear down these mental Racists...

Black Man's Autumn
Call it no shave November
I just pray I see December
It’s so hard being a man
Even harder being a black man
Call you a smart boy, instead of an intelligent man
I guess the hue of our skin makes it hard to comprehend
Call it land of the free but all I see is no man’s land
At least for a particular kinda man
No matter how many degrees they see
All they still see is BLACK
I’m just trying to live my life
Just trying to get home to my kids and my wife
Getting up every day to do my 9 to 5
Keeping my head down hoping I’ll...

*A House Divided
Battle lines are being drawn based on Them verses Us
now your vax status adds to the further distrust
Faith in our core human values is being lost
In the end what will be the final cost
We are forgetting we all members of the same team
and elevating our collective souls should be our dream
If we engage in Civil War II
what/who will be left when we are through
For regardless of how old or how tall
A House Divided against itself-will surely fall

White Dog And Black Dog
White dog says:
“I’m afraid to go out any night of the week except Sunday because when I go out on a Sunday night,
I’m sure I’ll get either a bone or a bitch lick, but when I go out any other night, I’m sure I’ll only get a bitch lick.”
Black dog says:
“Well, bone or no bone, I’m afraid to go out whether night or day because whenever I go out,
I’m sure I’ll get two bitch licks, one because I’m a stray dog and another because I’m black.”
“I’m afraid to go out any night of the week except Sunday because when I go out on a Sunday night,
I’m sure I’ll get either a bone or a bitch lick, but when I go out any other night, I’m sure I’ll only get a bitch lick.”
Black dog says:
“Well, bone or no bone, I’m afraid to go out whether night or day because whenever I go out,
I’m sure I’ll get two bitch licks, one because I’m a stray dog and another because I’m black.”

where the sun greets the edge of the sea..
.. through the trees
figures appear..,
as movement get closer
and focus is clear..
realizing now
“hey that’s not a deer”,
strange beings dressed
in threaded skins,
awkwardly walking
they came crumbling in..
hands in the air..
a shout “hello”,
others wave back,
“we’re not a foe”,
“we plea for help
to survive these lands”,
”of course we will help,
we’ll give you a hand”.. ...

Deprogrammed and Reprogrammed
Madison Ave, Langley and the Kremlin
with their slogans brought to you via internet trolls and gremlins
Their goal is to control your focus
with their verbal hocus pocus
I don’t how you feel
but, the “Matrix” is real
We voluntarily log into it everyday
in hopes that it will serve life to us our way
The “System” plays us for a joke
and no evil does not go better with Coke
To free us we disparately need a hero
so everyday I look to the skies for our “NEO

Another Grandmother, Mother or Daughter didn't come home today
and their love ones are worried if they are okay
They didn't show up to work or school
or maybe a play date at the pool
It has been 21 years now that Diamond and Tionda Bradley have been gone
and no one arrested for this wrong
Their info. in now a cold case
and sits in a bankers box some place
As a society we all pay the cost
as these love ones and family suffer the ultimate loss
and their love ones are worried if they are okay
They didn't show up to work or school
or maybe a play date at the pool
It has been 21 years now that Diamond and Tionda Bradley have been gone
and no one arrested for this wrong
Their info. in now a cold case
and sits in a bankers box some place
As a society we all pay the cost
as these love ones and family suffer the ultimate loss
