Don'T Mourn Me

If I should die 
Let me die with pride 
Knowing that my life a successful ride 
I'd may not have been rich 
Nor made the front page 
But with my hope desire 
I've always inspire 
If I should look death in the eye 
Let me accept it with pride 
Cause then I know my life was a successful ride 
With smile I'll grace every mile 
Knowing that my life style was an inspiration 
for the next generation 
I've over come every frustration by determination 
So please don't cried,nor tried to asked why 
Cause if I do stare death in the eye 
I will smile knowing that my life was a successful 
ride. 

                         BLESSING 
This is dedicated to my Grandmother.

Mama Liberia

When freedom raise in her glorious form 
Mama Liberia,I saw U glow and bloom,not knowing U were dome, 
You were known for freedom songs,now you sit in the dark 
wondering what went wrong, 
With the lost of your youths U remain strong, 
Mama Liberia,U sit on your bench watching your children dig war trench 
where they laid fill with rage to kill without paid, 
Which is ill,knowing that we are brothers from U mother 
You saw your children pain,while they watch their homes burn 
in flames,with fingers pointing to a frame on the wall that is about 
to fall,U asked who's the blame?It's Charles Taylor your babies scream, 
I saw U smile when U heard that your sisters in the west(Ghana,Guinea,Nigeria & Sierra-
Lone)were just a mile and your wait now is just a while; from your shores that was known as 
pilgrims best now salutes as the worst 
You had dreams of your children bringing U fame without games,educational 
celebrities exercising their liberties the true meaning of your name 
but instead we leave U in shame,Mama Liberia,I see U sitting on Montserrado 
virgin high waiting for the freedom bird to fly by,with your feet covered in ashes and your 
cries over power your riches,U wait as your children stay in crisis. May Freedom 
Prevail,Mama Liberia. 

                                                          PEACE:

Poetic Thoughts

As far as my mind goes, 
I see nothing but poetic thoughts, 
with me indulging in her dark big 
brown eyes,her skin smooth and tasteful 
as the essence of an African chocolate, 
I see her smile as the sunrises, 
Which reflects her beauty & strength, 
Her hair as black as charcoal, 
Scented with the natural herbs 
that grace the Fields of Africa, 
Her lips inviting and juicy, 
her body carved perfectly 
by the hands of the Almighty, 
In the shape of a co-co-kola bottle, 
Showing her true freckles which shows 
her courage, 
Her conversation is refreshing as the 
water falls of mount Kilimanjaro, 
Her sense of humor lets me know 
it's okay to keep in touch 
with yourself 
Her presence gives birth to love, 
Asserted with elegance,her hands on my 
shoulder assure me being romantic is vibrant 
then she asked me,do you want to jitter- 
bug(dance)with me,thats when I realized 
It's all just my poetic thoughts of Love.

Faded Flower

You call my name,when you need some one to blame 
You make my heart bleed,but you say you love me indeed 
You say lets put the past behind,then why say things to make us rewind 
I see you happy at times,if only that could last and you're mine 
You see it might be my fears,but I'm tired of sharing my tears 
I know I'm tough to face it when it gets rough 
I which you could understand my heart desire,instead you watch while my heart fade like a 
flower 
Winter is here and the past is in the rear, so lets be fair 
This is not a game,no need to shift blame 
With you and me looking toward the sky,why do we need to be shy 
Now what is done,has been gone 
Today is a new day,you say I say is no more to be play 
With his grace we can look each other in the face 
So lets do with out our old ways,and forget what others have to say 
Let the past be burn,and the future be born. 


                    Blessing

A Note To My Sister

Why blame, when U saw all along it was just a game,not for fame,but for name.His 
kiss,might have been it, but then who knows the twist.U reminisce on the days when his 
touch made U blush,forgotten the first rule, never rush it's always a clue,don't be a fool.I see 
U cried and tried to play it.Why don't U forget it? U see it was not meant to be,or else their 
won't be no blame,so don't stress it,take a rest, who knows your next one might be your 
best.Don't take this out of context,nor be perplex,take this advise and be wise,don't be fool 
look for clues,if U rush U might get crush. 

Blessing.

Black Sista

As the ink from my pen caresses my thoughts into words, 
I can feel your presence,others wonder why you different, 
Sometimes I slip-up,You say don't forget where you from 
                  thats enough to wake-me up, 
At times I want to give up,you tells me I'm your soldier 
                             stand-up 
Your words are like a butterfly to mine soul 
that keeps it from never getting old 
Your beauty makes me appreciate nature 
Your style is a reflection of my African heritage 
I must say, I will never disrespect you 
Mind,Body & Soul,but explore every part of your curvy mature body 
I will always love you Black Sista 
I just hope you love me back, like you do Hip-Pop 

                             ONE:

Untitled

How many times can you let me down, 
I fall to the ground stand up and 
wipe my knees and keep going, 
In time my knees will heal, 
Time after time I keep falling, 
can I trust that I have learn 
         To walked?

Me

Something about me, 
I laugh and cry, 
I tried not to asked why, 
Friends take advantage , 
cause I'm nice, 
they seek my worst, 
But with God's bless, 
they see my best, 
I tried to pull apart, 
But my heart fall apart, 
They come to see me fall, 
never the less, 
with all the stress, 
I still stand tall, 
I'll always forgive them, 
And don't know why, 
So please don't tried to asked why, 
cause thats just ME.

Black Poetry

I make love 2 black poetry everyday 
piercing through her eyes,my soul dies 
as she smiles,giving space 2 a new level of grace, 
her glow allows me 2 flow,her reflection erase all 
my confusion. Exhaling,I say a verse,yeah,a poetic line 
damn she's fine 
with her I know I I'll shine.She dines with me to the 
finest wine.With my hands running through her dreads 
she feels my every cries,Black poetry,she corrects me 
when I'm wrong,kiss me even when she's pi st, 
She stretches her hands to help me stand,my expression 
of her love,is a confession of a poetic man

Father's Grace

Amazing is thou grace,you give lips to speak of you,you give eyes to see your beauty,you 
train me,that I may be able to use my brain,you give legs so I can carried your words,you 
give me hands so that I can share your miracles,you made me wise that I may not fall to the 
devil lies,I slip a million times,yet you give a hand and say get a grip,you made me strong 
even when everything same to go wrong,you send your only son to die for me,even when 
my whole life was a lie,you where there when all I could do is share tears,you said don't 
fear,for am there the most when the load gets heavy,and the road tough,you know my 
past,but never made me an outcast,Am glad to be your child, so I pray for your grace to be 
upon my face,cuz in the end you all I only need,My Father's Grace.
