"Exegesis"
At 7 he was
thrown to the wolves
Bede marked his territory
hidden secrets
kept in the abbey
he escaped
went to war
where the unwanted trod
First regiment,
Vietnam
he took with him
like a comfort blanket
his Nicene creed and God
and on returning
from Hell
which never
really left him
any peace,

I Said, You SaidRace -
Did it start the big debate, in 2008?
He’s not my president
Show me his papers.
Why don’t we impeach him
Silence all the haters.
Take back our country
Those thieves took it.
Yes we can!
Tea Partiers have a plan.
Fox News or Msnbc
Which one defines me?
If I...

Betrayal of longtime brotherhood
Hatred ploughed between them
Fighting ,disgruntled and an air of enemity
Love is seen in their eyes no more
Not no more of a God's case
The ancestors have washed their hands
Loved ones turn a blind eye
The...

Jermaine took Johns spot
And Unc took ours

A life drowned by a sea of intense pain
Without warning walking unable to bear
Red ink covering soles with red-hot coals
Yesterday's dreams cremated...

Yes, I Questioned God She led him on, through the busy Congo junction
He only knew sound, oh and touch
She only knew sight and touch, and love
Their bones ached I guess, the tatters, the dirt, the old age!
He, he followed faithfully towards a Matatu that refused them
Oh the Makanga,...

The AfterlifeMany people who don’t understand about Jesus
Fail to understand about Heaven and Hell
Many of these people get misled
They are fooled so easily
They believe in concepts such as paradise on earth
Resting in peace, being one with the universe and being free once you die
They believe...

Choice ConcernsWhen it is all whittled down,
A core of freedom is left to place.
Where fundamental questions seek the
Constitution, for answers, case by case.
The fulcrum seems to slide back and forth,
From right to left at...

In tales people to people wise,
One end to other holding peace,
One end to other pulling tug of war like race,
Piece to piece,in size to size in colors and white,
A piece up to sky long kites,
A piece in puppets moving sites,
A piece in...

Grand OperaHe sat upon a bench for pay
To judge between right and wrong
Case by case they’d make their way
They’d sing their mournful songs
And in their pain and with their tune
He’s sometimes join the song
Until he heart the chord had changed
And knew he’d been strung along...

Light Verse
StoryShow by show
Fortune now grows
By and by
Watch thoughts that ply
Step by step
Hurl of mind map
Case by case

Dream by dream
Theme anchors scheme
Trip by trip
Gain a bold grip
