Sun Son

Sun rising in the morning to shine your warmth on me
Son in this world to make you mark and leave a legacy

sun bringing light to all that you come in contact with
son born to me your presence is the ultimate gift

sun made by God to keep the whole globe warm
son given by God to make sure life goes on

Sunshine breaks through clouds that hide your gift
son when you smile weary spirits  lift

Sun proof that this globe the creator loves
Son you are the greatest gift given from up above.

Transcending Minds

I'm looking for a place where greater minds unite
where maybe I could kick back relax and examine Mandelas' plight

where maybe I could compare the theories of Socrates, to your thoughts
or to the thoughts of Plato

or we might just examine the creativity of Van Gogh or Michelangelo

we might want to think and try to sum up all that they said Pharaoh did
or we might want to imagine what the Queen of Sheba as a young princess did

and if time travel is cool with you let's go and chat with Einstein
and as I tie his shoes let's listen to his blues and find out what troubled such a great mind

before they light the torch let's see if we can find any innocence in Joan of Arcs'
eyes
powerful woman, full of ambition, I wouldn't be surprised

maybe we could travel and try to unravel the mysteries of Stonehenge
then find out from the Indians whats up with the circular graves

then maybe we could travel south in time via way of our minds and undo the mysteries of the pyramids

then find out from Shaka Zulu Warrior King why attitude was all his

as we transcend lets find out rom King Solomon when he first realized he was wise, he was deep

then i'd take the balm from that sinner girl and I'd wash my own Masters feet

and as Delilah cut Sampson's hair off after she put him to sleep, I swear one of his dread locks i'd keep

I need a mental massage y'all I need to stimulate my mind an all
I need to know that right here, right now, we're all of one kind you know

one love, one peace, that will never cease

I need you to kick some knowledge to me and I'll do the same back at you
I'm just an average black girl, but in this world my ego is black and blue
So heal me, feel me, but by all means keep it true
Poets, Queens, Warriors, and Kings

Agape Love to you.

Emotional Homicide

You are guilty of emotional homicide and intellectual rape
notorius repetitive profile as you defile the women you take
would be queens some getto queens transformed into promiscuous whores
each time u win as they decend into your damp void lower than before

slowly u ignore their cries for more and more
what are they hopeing for. . . your just a  rediculous  met a phore
met a whore

yes your a whore but intellectuals deem it the
african king complex . . .
pursue,,,,, conquer , ,, , screw, , , sex , , , vex
and move on to the next?

in this society its cool if your a man u can do it
but if a woman were to do it she'd be called a whore
but you'd still screw it

so y are u surprized that I once a Queen finally saw the light
and dam it was bright, finally one night clarity borne
I can tell the difference between wrong and right
like day and night

he reached way down past where i fell from my throne
down deep where u dragged me down to and he pulled me
out of your damp, void, emotional, cave
now i stand here brand new.

but what about the ones who were not able to weather your brand of hurt
or didn't know how to pray so that they could find their own self worth
you drive a hearse. 

maybe in the wake of you they turned to alcohol to numb the pain
or drugs to drown the shame, now its you they blame
you drive a hearse.

but now that I've survived  Im actually afraid for you
because your about to reap all that you've sown 1,000 times more than I or they
you will weep with gnashing of your teeth
you drive a hearse.

as 4  me he continues to keep me away from the firey arrows your tried to guide
but whats better yet is you can run son, but you can't hide
in guilt custom made  by you . . . . .you reside

guilty of EMOTIONAL HOMICIDE.       A WANJAY  JOINT~

My Complex Valentine

my valentine's day is complicated
because the person that I love doesn't know it
due to limitations and societies norms
I can't really show it
Value systems imposed upon me
so I hide the way I really feel 
and I deal with
emotional fall out and mood swings
you know the kind that discontentment brings.

so I sing, I paint, I think and I write
so that darkness dosn't extinquish my light

so I don't feel anymore than I have to

my love was written on a check and stamped void
and re-submitted but funds were insufficient and insignificant
wait, book mark that and come back to the fact that
unlike you I've never been loved
never been the object of affection of another
or held in high esteem
to me thats like a dream
or even thought of with feelings of caring
or love unless its possible that

the one that loves me has a complex valentine
and the inability to show it
maybe he loves  me and can't really show it
due to limitations and societies norms
imposed upon him and he knows it
so he hides the way he really feels
and deals with the emotional fall out
and mood swings
you know, the kind that discontentment brings.
Loves a complex thing.

What I C

What I C when the universe is looking back at me
I C an expanded version of me
Inert, solid, liquid, thinking
not mechanical being
so I rhyme

captivated by the very concept of time

what if what we call the past
is really the future?
that would put a real spin
on the phrase "used to"

what if all time spands exhist right now?
the very thought of it is so profound
that it had to be introduced us
in layers called years
so we could percieve it all
knowing that we could never believe it all

somewhere is yesterday in ancient history
maybe cause its all such a mystery
with all of this energy the possibilities are
endless, so try to bend this
and customize to fit the very concepts
that we can't know yet.
