Godbody (Performance)
Before I Cut the Check
Once upon a time I was in a situation/ where I was having a great conversation/ with a goddess that had great powers of persuasion/ She also had more game than Allen Iverson/ Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Laura Robson/ Micheal Jordan in 91/ or a hand of spades about to run a […]
wisdom itself
If wisdom itself is infinite, how naive must I really be?/ Exhibit A/ my views on loyalty/ You see/ I love in the ride or die fashion/ with the riding being towards the glory and the dying happening while walking through the flames/ How can anyone be loyal to passion when passion wasn’t meant to […]
Sometimes.
Sometimes my mind wanders/ Sometimes it goes into reflective places/ When I am in that reflective space/ I ask myself how happy I am/ I take inventory of who is/ Then I ask myself if I am simply existing and not really living/ Sometimes my mind is as blank as a sheet of paper/ […]
Highest Thought
My 1st thought was that my blackness was some sort of a curse/ My highest thought asked me if I knew my worth/ then asked me if darkness is the worse/ then how come we showed up 1st?/ loved each other/ then gave birth/ to the rest of the Earth/ My 1st thought was that […]
There’s No Money in Poetry.. (Why is That?) #writtenverse
Poets are smart enough to locate the seeds of inspiration/ Wise enough to prepare those seeds for cultivation/ Clever enough to harvest the words/ Seasoned enough to roll up the herbs/ and blow smoke into pronouns/ metaphors and verbs/ Haikus and Testimonies/ Shadowboxing with soliloquies/ Stanzas/ novels and sweet melodies/ The Earth is the […]
The Fear & Love Poetry Cypher (Finale Verse)
I remember how fake I was when the word “real” was popular/ Now I know better and do better exposing truth passionately/ A dragon doing his best to breath fire with his mind as a pilot light/ Inspiring those who inspire me with testimonial melodies/ The loyalty of a heartbeat giving you love to the […]
Oh.. You Can’t Speak? #REMIX
Oh.. You Can’t Speak? Suit yourself. You may not have any words for me but I’ve got plenty of words for you/ However/ no matter how clever/ I proceed with this endeavor/ I will do my best to come from a spiritual space before I do/ Numero uno/ to me life/ […]
An Open Letter to the Bride & Groom to be/
An Open Letter to the Bride & Groom to be/ you are in love/ I know the love exchange of yang & yin well/ It makes you weightless as it tip-toes through the both of your hearts/ Dancing like Fred Astaire & Ginger Rodgers/ Dancing like the angels do in space/ You […]
No Trump Anytime
This is not your typical protest/ where the disenfranchised become stressed/ organize/ mobilize/ strategize and coalesce/ Build a platform/ then express/ their reasons for woe and unrest/ Citizen after citizen getting issues off their chest/ Only to have a warm intention turn into a hot mess/ where we have the 1st amendment right to peacefully […]
Godbody
Godbody is a slang name for the members of the urban, Black empowerment/ youth movement/ called the Nation of the Five Percent/ Or should I say Five Percenters/ who are considered/ to be a splinter/ Nation of Islam Group/ A troop/ fierce as any woman without make-up or sleep/ cold as midwinter/ At least they […]
