"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, 
the...

The Street People
Not all persons who roam the streets are homeless and not all homeless people roam the streets;
Whatever are the circumstances which result in a person living on the streets, whether it is by unfortunate situation behind one control or whether it is by choice this...

I Said, You Said
Race -
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...

Samauri, Back In the Saddle
Brick had seen his share of hospitals 
and had been to Saint Cecelia's more than once,
on occasion, a perp would get banged up
you know, during an arrest... on occasion!

He was just waiting for the X-Ray results
before he made his way home, but he had
to make...

The Case
The case
 
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...

Only At the Stem
Words tell a story
But tears make those words supernova
I'm here to listen
I told ya
And Friday you took my ears and poured 
Poured out every content and drop
And I know there's more 
At 3clock you ddnt want to stop 
Jermaine took Johns spot
And Unc took ours

Burning man syndrome diagnosed quite rare

  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 Afterlife
Many 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...

Premium Member Choice Concerns
When 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...

Strings
A small string piece,
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 Opera
He 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...

Show by show
Fortune now grows


By and by
Watch thoughts that ply


Step by step
Hurl of mind map


Case by case
Share time and space


Lot by lot
How the vain plot


Dream by dream
Theme anchors scheme


Trip by trip
Gain a bold grip
