Black Heart
irresistible charm I see you clear
I love the place you won't wreck what amuses
see for yourself what I accomplished
your brother is black heart more than you
Alpha you are here I know you
this is a death wish
warn him now
he is disavowed
I am here clear?
I need the fantasy machine turning
a baby angel wish come true
the faith of a mustard see combined with truth
moves mysteries out of the way
in time you will see my value
it's not of my power to dissuade you
but you got my fake Akashic records ...

White Men and Black Men
I’m tired of hearing nonsense about white men and black men.
Furthermore, I’ve had enough of this racial talk.
Down with colour prejudice and racial discrimination!
Caucasian, Negro, Indian, Chinese and so on are people.
I wonder what you idiots think they are.
Do the so-called intelligent ones have anything to say?
When I look at a person, I don’t see colour or shade.
Neither do I see nationality, race or status.
I see a man or a woman, an equal human being.
You use complexion to refer to a person most of the time. ...

Melanin
Wash away the sins of the father
Release your head from the sand
Try to start again
Or ignore the reaching hand
Who are you to judge over a body? A way of life?
A face growing weary and thin?
Restless, are we still so cold?
Are we a plague to ourselves, made of mildew and mould?
Pigment and porcelain statues refuse to give in
Committing evil against humanity
Fighting a war against prejudice
Over melanin produced in the skin
Find the key others have found before
Let their voices be your guide
Open your mind...

Outgunned (A Poem for R)
Your glory fades with each receding hair
An elderly reject from the renaissance faire
Search for some meaning on poetry sites
But mediocrity won’t keep you warm at night
Your pulpit is a broken heap
Of sensibilities you gate-keep
Hide from the truth that midnight brings
None of it means anything
An elderly reject from the renaissance faire
Search for some meaning on poetry sites
But mediocrity won’t keep you warm at night
Your pulpit is a broken heap
Of sensibilities you gate-keep
Hide from the truth that midnight brings
None of it means anything

I am
Something different burrows in my skin,
tells me I am kin, but I am not- but I am.
Something different swirls atop my head and feels so close as I am led, but so far- but I am.
Something different tugs and tells from different mouths who to be and what to do but I do what I do and- I am.
Something different shoots fire across the sky and gas across the streets as they fight or they flee and I see that- I am.
Something different is the 'gangs' against gangs with silver tongues and lined gold pockets, shedding dignity and love to live and- I am.
Something...
tells me I am kin, but I am not- but I am.
Something different swirls atop my head and feels so close as I am led, but so far- but I am.
Something different tugs and tells from different mouths who to be and what to do but I do what I do and- I am.
Something different shoots fire across the sky and gas across the streets as they fight or they flee and I see that- I am.
Something different is the 'gangs' against gangs with silver tongues and lined gold pockets, shedding dignity and love to live and- I am.
Something...

I Am Not Offended by........
I am not offended by seeing Gay people kiss on the street
but by kids and Seniors not having enough food to eat
I am not offended by a crazy MTG tweet
but by homeless people using concrete as their hotel suite
I am not offended by another Trump speech bc he is a bore
but by Putin's illegal war
i am not offended by Drag Queen performance art
but by another DeSantis racist and homophobic verbal fart

Black Dawn
In the land of the free and the home of the brave,
There's a story that's been told of a people that were slaves,
Whose bodies and minds had been beaten and scarred,
And whose lives have been haunted by a past that's so hard.
They've fought for their rights, for their voices to be heard,
They've struggled and sacrificed, for a dream that's deferred,
And though progress has been made, there's still so much to do,
To ensure that justice and equality are not just for a few.
For the Black man and woman, the road has been long,
And...

Holding Back the Blue Rot !
Holding Back the Blue Rot” [Blue Rot = the Police State]
I am not the bridge, I am the Keystone, the Arch, the Matriarchal form of being.
I am without racism, without Rot and free to stand a protectorate, a dome, the whole, the womb.
My back is no bridge, yet my shoulders are my cornerstones, my devout legs my pillars of foundation.
My skull, the beauty, a keystone of balance and wedged pressure holding the arch of time.
Again without ROT! A void with no haunted racial overtones, having to explain but when, when, when will the pure...

Disservice
that's what you do to yourself
when you allow such anger in your heart
I wonder if you'll know that before you're gone

Raphium Series~Onyx Kingdom
universal understanding of a G code
dirty, dirty communications
rising in the atmosphere
ten stars witness the rebellion
infinite space under wraps
come in the back door storming, you wish
hustle that muscle
might makes right?
damn right
interstellar war affecting things
bigotry pitting this one against that
ultimately we are family
royalty? let me ask this who crowned you?
fickle loyalty makes me ill
nine houses are accounted for in the onyx kingdom
I rise within myself

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 criminal minded...
