Best Camacho Poems
To Be FreeEntwined
The color
Of mankind
Echoed in
Our minds
The Realities
Of life
Forevermore
The ethnic
Flow of
Our blood
Pulsating
Giving us life
Giving us hope
We were
Color blind
Or
Perhaps
The world
Didn't understand
The differnt
Shades of
Pastels
We were free
Of that kind of
Bondage
That brought
Many of us
To our knees
Even as you
Lay in my arms
Dying
While our...

Flicker of HopeThe abyss so deep so profound
It didn't thwart our efforts
It made us strong of mind
Gave us a sense of unity
To see thru the light
At the end of this
endless Tunnel
this is today,but yesterday's
Gone by recalling a time
When our bodies ached
Working 16 hour days
16 hour nights...

Heaven Can'T WaitThe skies the sun free birds
High above
Below the mud the blood
One life to go
No warmth
River is running cold
Penetrating to the bone
Curdling screams
Chilling notes
Blood sweat fear
Side stepping thoughts
Down with these mean streets
Pulsating Conga beats
Run DMC run like hell
The Devil wants you
Shades of Spades...

Fallen Heroes the FinaleCry me a river cry me a river
The change has arrived
Where are all the heroes
Heroes like jolting Joe D
Hit the ball to outer space
Running from first to Homeplate
Kids cheering kids jumping
Popcorn all over the place
Heroes like Willie the say hey kid
Billy ball billy ball...

RosieYo listen up babe
Had an ache in my head
So I swallowed a Bayer
Had a slight fever
So I took a chill pill
Had my eyes set on you
And your façade
So I call on sir Cupid
To help me along
With some love potion
Number ..69
Everything was Rosie
So I...

MadreTouching to sea essence with their noses
Old men by the seashore
Sails up flags waving goodbye
Gulls laughing
Don Coto's Face brown and wrinkled
Smiles from ear to ear
Prepares for the voyage to gather bounty
From the land the sea to see
The coconut trees
Leaves rubbing against each other
Waiting for...

Undaunted FlightPry me essence
Of honey dew melon
Fat back gimme
Mo collard greens
Gimme essence from
Flavas undone
Marmalade too
Of long ivory tusks
That elephants do
From the flight
Of the whip poor will
Till
The next rains flood
Those plains
Talking bout old essence
Encountered
From far and near
Yet never here
To the dried up bones
That...

Wings of TimePeering through portals of time
On gossamer wings
Just past 89
Cherished moments
Crystal bottles
Blue Haze
Memories never fade
Seems like only yesterday
Small tyke I was
Could run like the wind
Running so fast so free
Barely touching the ground
I was on
Feeling sure so secure
Wished it Could've
Lasted forever
Oh those wondrous years
Away...
