Shortly after i was forgottenWhen the dirt covers your body
you will truly remember all that you loved
all that you hated, it will grow through
your thighs, between your armpits
between your legs into your thoughts,
your secrets, dead and bloated,
no more pains no more worry,
just you and your secrets,
your tears and your fears, all melting
under the pressure of dirt, the black...

Soul of a childMy twin was delusional, he thought he was a star
He told me people recognized him, near and far
Strangers gave him thumbs up, pretty women smiled
Within him they saw the soul of a child.
I said "Jerry, no offense, you are poor at conversation
People yawn, go away, for the dialog duration
You lack warmth, enthusiasm, any vital spark
You're...

not a democratNot a Democrat
Is democracy good for individual freedom
a year when spring sprang early
he bought horse and cart and made a living
moving people's rubbish to the town's pit
He was not a man working from 9 to 5 in
a factory where underpaid workers slaved
putting macaroni in tomato sauce, into a tin
he had many children, but was not...

WanderingWondering if I should,
Wandering into what's good,
I could stay here forever,
It would never get better,
Change comes like the weather,
Another feather in the cap,
I stumble into another trap,
Slapping me in the face,
I start chasing my dreams,
Falling through the seams,
My ego screams,
My spirit streams,
Through different...

A place minds are calmed,
Listening to Holy word
And words of wisdom into heart
A Holy place

To turn us into good
And away from evil...

What Immigrants Really WantCome out of the darkness, stand in the light.
Speak from your heart and give us insight.
Don’t treat us like animals lured by honey.
Saying you care and you’ll give us your money.
Offer instead, a small thread of hope,
A plan to slow, illegal immigration, guns, dope.
Shore up our borders, build a great wall,
Help the murder and theft...

Standing in Line during the holidaysWhen the Language Merge**
I walked into Bobby Department Store and yelled, “Where are the Jamaicans and Barbadians?” This might sound a little strange to most people; however, it’s that time of year when all the languages and dialects merge, accompanied by the authentic accents from their respective places. Plus, there's always a bit of rudeness...

ALL FAIR IN WARHe told me all is fair in war, that he studied all of our wars.
That when they take over, everything will belong to them.
He told me, when a new culture of government takes over they instill all of their laws and cultures, making all the old ones cancelled.
All is fair in war...

Put my name on itWhen the complications of peoples dignity is intruded upon by the will of one. In such a the sense of the matter is further complicated by the indignity of truth. The complicated trust of the people in whom serve us, makes the certainties of existence unreal and more complicated. Procreation in the darkness is done...

MoreI am a Democratic Socialist
I believe that the People should rule
I believe that the taxes collected
should be used for each life-saving tool
For nobody gets rich on a island
and it isn’t just fortune or luck
It takes legislative-corporate corruption
it is capitalism, running amok
All those products the billionaires sell us
charging upgrades for every new year
