Our Loss Is Heaven's Gain

(in reference to Lamar "L-Boogie" Featherston)

Constantly, does it leave on My mind, 
a mental strain
Everytime, I think of how you died,
in vain
Upon leaving your mark here, a
hard to get out stain
It's funny, for I never knew you
were in pain
Yet, outside My window, down
came the Rain
How it hurts, that I'll NEVER,
see you, Again

If I Were a President

If I was sworn in as the
President
I could dictate how Our
money's spent
And, figure out where the
Economy went
How in the Problem, could
be put a dent
While determining which Cadillac
has too much tint
As I, on up-scaling the whole world,
would be bent

Take Me To See the King

(In Memory Of Mrs. Vera Latney)

Take Me To See The
King
On a Prayer and an 
angel's wing
So I, my Red cabbage,
to him can bring
Now, let those "pearly-
gates" wide-open to Me fling
As I hear gentle hands on a
harp string
Giving Me reason to lift My voice
and sing
To have a feel for whatever My eyes
do cling
In the land of "Milk and Honey" that
has Everything
Even, My long, lost LOVE, with whom
I hare a ring
Please Take Me To See The King

Freedom Isn'T Free

Don't believe the hype, freedom
isn't free
Or, why else was JESUS made a
sacrifice at Calvary
As ROSA, inadvertently challenged
the system of Montgomery
And, JFK, became a target of some
CONSPIRACY
While, PREJUDICE, took the life of Rev.
Martin Luther King
Inevitably, did Someone make a sacrifice
for You and Me

Freedom Flight

(In Memory Of The late Amelia Earhart)

To her Dreams, she held on
tight
Never turning back or giving
up the fight
How she soared the blue skies
with all of her might
Through all kinds of weatherm Day
and Night
Until, she came to disappear, from
sight
Let's Hope to God, that She "saw the
Light"

I'M Going Home Today

My time has come, I'm
going home, today
The Lord has beckoned,
so I can not stay
From EVERYTHING I've
known, I must go astray
With No questions asked,
because it be's that way
Since My destiny had been
set, I had No say
Now, a visit to the heavenly
kingdom, I must Eternally pay
Although, I hope My folks back
home, will be okay
For, "parting is such sweet sorrow",
to quote Romeo, if I may

The Man In the Chair

(The Lincoln Memorial)

Out into Space, does He seem
to stare
This once noble being fixated in
his chair
After Our fore-fathers of their fate,
he came to spare
Putting on the "Old South" a little
"wear and tear"
When He to challenge the law, had the
nerve to dare
Making for Him to abruptly, end up in the
Lord's care
Just for Changing History, now tell Me, is
that fair??

A Bird In a Cage

That's what I feel like- a bird
in a cage
Who from imprisonment, is filled
with rage
On the brink of self-destruction; about
to engage
Due to the melodrama of a theatrical
stage
Got Me with grey hair looking a bit beyond
My age
And, contemplating LIFE without ME, turning
the page

The Toy Chest

The Toy Chest
Where the Toys are, We love the best
In which, We play with, being of Earnest zest
For they, over the Others, had passed the Test
Making Us, an Interest, in them, decide to invest
Upon retiring them, to the box, for Eternal rest

Seagulls Cry

Take a listen as they descend,
from the sky
The seagulls, of how they let
out a cry
As if to rescue a loved one, about
to die
When all they want is a piece of
the American pie
Only to take flight, afterwards, on
a natural high
Without so much, as even a :"Good-
bye"
