Cowboy poem Cityscape, tall building, and smog-filled evening sky In New York, no one sleeps here; a camel smokes a cigarette and no one  finds that unusual The big apple, tall women, and juicy scandals, what else is there to know Prosperity, even a bus driver can make it rich be frugal, collect his mother's pension long after  She has died or gone to Galveston ...

The natives have (since the seventh month peeped through the lean crescent eye of the moon) worn cloaks of festivities. They dance the rites, squelching proudly in mud and green pools of water. On their heads are smouldering fires of corns And pears, and ingredients of a lush season. Behold their mothers’ breasts! Flopping tonelessly with life and ceremonial milk. The engaging flesh of birth. And their...

Rich as earth’s deepest soil, Your melanin glows in silent pride A tapestry of dusk and dawn, Each shade a story woven in light. Your smile breaks like sunrise, Casting warmth across the world; Your eyes hold galaxies of hope, Sparkling with unspoken dreams. In every curl and coil you carry grace, A crown of nature’s own design; Your silhouette sings of strength untold, A dance...

I'm standing In a line Patiently waiting For my turn or time Standing in the lane of success. I keep wondering So many had made it Why is mine staying longer Sometimes I admit Maybe mine is bigger Or it will never come to my time or turn. I keep racing for it So many times I work and prayed But...

Copying poor value systems like smoking ganja or cigarettes, over excessive rum/alcohol drinking gun running, crime, and even gloryfying submersive gansata rap lyrics are wrong for our children's sake. these are bad examples. I...

Unity brings all together Humility keeps them forever Humiliation sets them apart Prosperity makes all bright Possibilities they all ride or strive for. No discipline No results or success Steady insults Brings you regrets If you wanna know Please always ask questions Not living with assumptions.

Night’s lingering silhouette no longer Shields my restless shadow, which clutches me With gusto and haunting trauma. My naked thorax seeks raffia clothing; My ribs rebel against enchanting shivers from the spine of terror. Adam’s greenish raiment I long for, Among wet strings of strong bows fastened To the groins of departed giants. My feet, caked by frozen sand dunes, Tramp gently and defiantly...
