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

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 […]

Just Because…

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

The Ego is a Tricky Little Bastard

Like a child sitting quietly in the corner/ a homeless man that asks you for change when you’re in a hurry/ or a phone number you don’t recognize/ we ignore our own ego/ even though it’s in plain sight/ We ignore this side of us at our own peril/ dismissing its actions like sounds that […]

God Bless this Union

This is the story of a wounded poet/ This is the story of 2 angels of mercy/ This is the story of light shining in the darkness of adversity/ Once upon a time a wounded poet came west from the east/ He had a soul that needed light and a spirit that needed peace/ He […]

#AllLivesMatter (kind of…)

All Lives Matter (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 The Hard Way

3 the hard way

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

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 […]
