MY BEAUTIFUL AFRO

Said you liked the real Jamaican coffee
You liked it black,
No cream, no sugar
But you liked it hot.
My heart stirred,
Best pick-up line I ever heard;
You spending time with me
Buying me gifts
Oh this is bliss!

It's been a while
I realize
You have no family or friends
Or else,...

There once was a man
His name was Afro Dan
He liked to party...

AFRO WOMAN!!!

She rules supreme in all climes
Elegant as the stallion she is in her prime
Resilience chariots her purpose to fame
A rugged activist, with a cause
As a mother, she needs applause
Afro woman, has come a long way
Give a chance; she will make your day

The black woman,

I once had that Afro hair you now rock, oh yes i once had it.   
Not in the 40s, not in the 50s but in the summer of the dark age. I was a pretty little thing, A fish and oh yes i...

The blood from his sword
Stains the old wood of the bridge,
Then stains the water.
Afro Samauri
Cleans off the blade of his sword,
And continues on....

Figure clad in white
Soul clothed in ashen
Body soaked in wine
Youth entrenched in mind
Foreign name on paper.
 
A specimen of mystery
Unseen splendor
Timeless experience
A living dictionary of life
 
Your body scarred by time
Face disfigured by “LOVE”
Hands marred by money
Hair, gray from thoughts 
 
You have lived millennia...

Wandering the maze of sanity
has now become a harsh challenge
to the psyche as insanity fuels
itself with echoing bigotry 
soaring like starving hawks
while vultures are daily treated
to sights of warm human appetizers
laying out on blood-stained turf tables.

If only lives could be as treasured
and as recyclable as...

Four ninjas remain,
Eager to murder Afro,
Who is unafraid.
Three attack this time,
As Afro jumps in the air,
Detatching their heads....

Continue reading...

On his left and right,
The first two ninjas attack,
Intending to kill.
Afro takes a swing,
And the head of one ninja
Comes completely off....

The other attacks!
Afro takes another swing,
While moving backwards.
Two limbs are severed.
The ninja falls to his death,
In a pool of blood....

Mojito Conjuring 

When the bruja in the red dress
sends me out this time,
it is for the taste of
sour oranges and garlic.
Once, when I plied her 
with a cigar called Hoyo de Montyerrey,
she coiled the smoke, 
said that I was still feral and untamed,
sent me out...

My hair has always 
had a mind of its own
Stays doing whatever
it wants whenever 
it pleases
Just never bothers to do 
any of it, at my convenience
Will take its sweet time 
to grow 
When I'm most keen to 
own a 'fro
Loves to split into these little...
