Physics of cyber dense

My ground is pretty solid 
My statement is really worth 

I many inadequacies foiled
I really respect force

I am mightly explicit weapon
The credit of AF defense 

My engines your brain boil
I am drone that distills essence 

My electronics prone to tectonics
My sensors a lot sense 

Use power of sonics 
The diligent phonies

Physics of cyber dense

Bend, Don't Break

She walks through storms—not afRaid, but awake,
With calm in hEr bones though the skies may break.
Time doesn’t heal—it only weatherS the ache,
Yet she plants her feet In the burn and the quake.
When dreams collapse, she quietLy repairs
The fragments of joy and Innocent prayers.
HEr grin may be torn, but it still holds grit—
A threadbare map with No hint to quit.
She bends with the wind; her roots danCe and shake,
But she nevEr snaps—she rises for her sake.

My Rosemary

My Rosemary

Looked up, and the sun was awake
Bright and shining down on me
Reflecting off a beautiful lake
Then I thought of you

Chorus: What a find, oh yeah ever so kind, My Rosemary

Rosemary appeared at a time of need
Planted a seed in my heart
Hopefully, one day we will meet
And never be apart

Chorus

We decided we must chat
We talked and talked
No, there is no turning back
She has planted that seed in my heart

Chorus

Now a week has passed
And I am writing her a song
Hopefully it won't be long
And we can meet

Chorus

I Changed It

Ever since AOL was a thing (yes, I did graduate high school in the 90's) internet abbreviations have been a thing also. Having said that there are one or two or more perhaps that at least one of those letters stand for a cures word.

Irin Ajo: Journey

Bàbá,
what eyes do you have of a big bigger sort,
which portaled my entryway into the blindnesses of our Ilé,
wherefrom I made to look to see with your primordial eyes?

Bàbá,
why is your soul watery,
salty like the tears of baba nlá bàbá àgbà’s father:
he took his death by the hand,
and didn't let it die cheap!

Bàbá,
stream of my consciousness,
transfused like forced labour into the nerves of my armory,
ready with iron fire and thunder, ready with my fight for their fight, fist for fist.

My irin ajo is now steeped with the signposts of the visions I saw in your eyes.

Give me the feet of water when my irin ajo is on water;
give me the wings of af?´f?´ when my irin ajo is beyond this il?;
give me the stride of love when my irin ajo crosses the paths of good men;
my children are at hand;
they come like freedom, up my soul and down my eyes:
omijé, running from the stories of the barreled gun,
from the mirrors that cursed our reflection with greed...

my children are coming,
free, and towards freedom.

The Goddess Appetitey

The goddess Appetitey,
                     a figure I have known
The mirror makes it all so clear
             just look at how I’ve grown

Yes, Appetitey is a joy
                when she comes around
With her songs in Menu form
                   resistance can’t found

She always seems to know
                   just what I love to eat
Burgers, tacos, fish and chips 
          and always something sweet
 
The goddess Appetitey
                  not really known to all
She’s the reason diet’s fail
                    why we drop the ball
 
Her sister of Greek myth
                 the one of lust and love
Banned her from the heavens
                      yet she is still above  

So when you feel the urges
              to stuff your face with pie
Just go and give the finger
                         right up to the sky




 Pronunciation:
            App-a-Ty-tee

Her lusty sister
             Af-ra-Dy-tee

How To Kill a Cow

We use to know
Howt o put thinggs down.
People gowin roundd,
Their lives tied behindt em by a spyne of brown strings.

You know we use to know howter kill cows
Wid the back af wharrever, hacking instrument hong at hande
D blunt end woul send your bovine friend awai
So she will not com back fora longg tyme.
So in that tyme as longe, you took excellent care ov her estaite
The horns and steaks te table ate
While shi's gone, til she returns
When you're old ant your world's all yor young wone learns
An told cow come back an says she, 'thanks'
'I appreciated the efficient dispatch'.
How she gloons to see them, kids completed
Kids that cow-Madame herself haz fedd.

And be it forehead uf god, or the middle of d brow of ya reldest cow,
We use to know
D special spots.
The places fork cortingg, and lovingg, and dyingg
The spot betweeain dose dopey grass-my-eyes,
Staring back at yer in e abattoir 
Or th slightly reddedd board in d smokey olt barn.
And yu knew
That if you 'it that spot juss righ
D eyes die inside, no feel, no figh,
Wonn touch, noi much,
An owt went the lights.

Let's Live King-Size

Never say adieus my Lord,
For I need Thy assist.
To become an astute bard,
Bless me I persist.

Fed up of the folks around,
Who never honor.
Selfish motives are abound,
Among all creature.

Let me give voice to,
My suffocated feelings.
I must and ought to,
Share my sufferings.

Expression finds it hard,
To gather words.
As I’ve emotions charred,
Of loving the worlds.

Like minded chums are rare,
For principles a few follow.
Life is an amicable (af)fair,
Let’s not live it hollow..!

The End of the Rainbow

Remember the days when we all felt free
Back in the days when we were happy as can be
Not a worry in the world,where all our dreams came true
When we believed af the end of the rainbow was a pot of gold
Those were the days when we were maybe 5 years old
Days became weeks,weeks became years
The next thing you knew happiness became tears
Joy became sadness and pain
Addictions turned our tears into rain
What we once believed to be happiness and fate
Soon became sadness and hate
Dreams became nightmares and darkness
Alcohol and drugs covered up our heartbreak and righteousness 
Our smiles faded and turned us to sin
Our addictions made us believe we were happy once again
The people we believed to be our true friend
Turned on us and it came to an end
We covered our pain with lies and dope
We then began to give up all hope
As children we dreamt of a wonderful life
Instead as we grew we felt like we were stabbed with a knife
The peace and joy we once felt
Ended up being the hand we were dealt
Accept the person you are
One day you will become someones shining star
When your days come to an end
You will see who was really your friend

Gramps Is Not An Acronym

My gramps was a long-staunch Baptist of the sort S.B.C., 
Until his local congregation got beholden to the R.N.C. 

Gramps was a hoot – on a Friday he joined the K.K.K., 
Saturday, he quit because it wasn’t a branch of the Y.M.C.A. 

Afterwards, he feared a knock on his door from the C.I.A. 
Would negate all his years working with the B.S. of A. 

Gramps continued his strong support for the N.A.A.C.P. 
But said he was canceling his membership in the B.B.B. 

He was a coal miner, but Gramps never joined the A.F. of L. 
It was years before he learned the union was not a U.R.L.

Little Girl

My life is a gift, I cherish it so
But there is so much to me you just don't know.
Mirror mirror on the wall,
I watched you you burn.
I watched you fall.
The scars and tears and battered eyes.
I spun a web, a web of lies.
I said I'd keep you warm and safe
You wanted love and you wanted faith.
I stomped on that, I shut you down.
I made you cry, I made you frown.
I tried to kill you, I tried to take your life.
With a bottle of booze and a jagged knife.
I am so sorry I brought you to this place.
So much time I took of yours and put to waste.
I saw you though, so scared with shame and fear.
I want you to know that I am near.
I will pick you up so you can shine your light.
Little girl, you no longer have to fight.
For God came to me and showed a way.
To bring you to another day.
So wipe your tears and dry your face.
I'll take you home, to your happy place.

Sonnet 2 'I Am a Broken Man Without a Home'

I am a broken man without a home*,
My teeth don't feel right... and I sometimes shake.
There is a difference, now that you are gone.
Of all these, only pain keeps me awake:
Sunsets, cold breezes, heat, and pain, and time...
Of all of these, just pain keeps me awake!
I have a scurvy mood, and there's no lime...
And I am dumb and blind and full of ache.
...And yet, I dream, and Live and Love to Sing!
I go outside, am struck!  I can't stay numb!
I pray like Joy's my only steadfast thing!
I bleed, and hurt, stumble... my Voice goes dumb...
But none of these can equal your sweet Smile!
And so, I'll stop, and SEE it, for a while!

*NOTE:  For Honesty's sake:  I am not homeless, AF

Going Keto

just saw myself in the mirror 
after feasting a box of pizza
cannot stand the sight of horror
and realized 'twas a bad idea

the main goal is to get lean
have my ass busy and active
but i'm lazy af to go clean
i guess its fate to get massive

got advised to get balanced diet
to lessen on sugar and carb
but the cravings are hard to quite
even giving up rice for lard

so this is what they called keto
gobbling more on fats and grease
less on meat, rice and potato
and more on veggies and cheese

some of you might get irked
but i need options and hope
please advise will this work
before i eat up this whole loaf

For Sake and Someone More

They poisoned almost everything
their grocery store could hold.
Where all they knew as additives
and modified was sold.

Then paid for politicians
to put labels on for mind.
That expedite designer death
through purchases in kind.

Then set their sites on living
as subscribed by heinous crime.
As they offered up to Health Care
their own sake on practiced dime.

That they all sublulved forsaken
for their faith in borrowed time.
As is all who gait by doctors
show their wait on serpent clime.

That the ones who rush on surgeants
only show their passion more.
As at heart to would stop halfway
af for sake and someone more.
