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 […]

Just Because…
Armed and dangerous/ Ain’t too many that can war like us/ Used to be in love or call it lust/ Until the trust between us/ Was broken leading us to fuss/ See each other with disgust/ Under breath there lives a cuss/ You left and it was a plus/ I left you said: “What’s the […]
The Ego is a Tricky Little Bastard

#AllLivesMatter (kind of…)
All Lives Matter… of course they do/ but as most things the devil is in the details/ the mere fact that all lives matter has to be stated is an epic fail/ All agree/ quite vehemently/ that love will prevail/ But do we know how love works/ saying things like “love hurts?” like we are […]

3 sides/ 3 angles/ + 1 dimension/ circumvention of closed doors/ is my intention/ not to mention/ one unified verse with 3 inflections/ warriors angels for your protection/ 3 voices registered as deadly weapons/ Inside skin we fit comfortably/ Balancing between the 3/ mind, body and spirit/ Boom, bap and lyric/ mic, stage and speaker/ crowd, host […]
The Karma of Passive Aggression
At this point in time many of us have realized two basic truths/ The first is this fact/ How folks are/ and how folks act/ might not match/ like your two thumbs do/ Number two/ There is karma associated with everything we do/ Before your mind contemplates/ or deliberates/ the karma we make by being […]
