Before you read my poem below please know:
This poem is generalised and not aimed at any individual
It is solely my observation and voice!

Why must it be analysed and dissected
To whether  a poet comments or not
We all do what we choose to do
We are a...

A vulture and owl

Dear mom, dad -
keeper of my DNA,
it was not my choice to be conceived 
( these actions you are about to take,
     I never would have believed )

With you, I have placed my trust
- only to be, deceitfully deceived


I have no...

It takes two to make a baby
But the women bear the brunt
Yet for reasons that confound me,
It’s the men who most confront.

They just plant a seed and vanish
While not caring for a whit
If they’ve left behind a token
And what will become of it.

So the females...

Write words
that will be scraped
into a stone
by a rebellious kid
who refused
to be owned
Write words
that will make
a hopeless sinner
never feel alone
Write words 
that will move
a homeless man
from a shelter seat 
to a throne
Write words
that will tattoo
the answers
to your soul
about the questions
of the future
that is unknown...

FREEDOM OF CHOICE

The greater blessing is the power of choice
Not gifts nor riches any way compare
With having your own mind, to give it voice

See then your many options and rejoice
That You may wander here and venture there
The greater blessing is the power of choice

Prefer the...

Busy getting ready to go to a meeting
I was looking through my closet for something to wear
My 20 year old daughter, Shereen, was in my bedroom
Showing me her new clothes
I marveled at her
What a body
What a beautiful woman
Her curves were to die for
Her thin waist...

In our souls lie all the seeds,
Waiting patiently to meet our needs.
Soulfully waiting for us to choose,
For us to use or abuse.

We plant our seeds in our garden of life,
The seeds we choose will bring joy and strife.
Many we’ll plant, but all will not flourish,
Much...

Whichever pathway you decide to choose,
They’ll always be lessons and lots of clues.
On every pathway, lessons will exist, 
Finding truth will require that you persist.

Walking a path, does not learning assure.
Takes more than presence, learning to secure.
From your doubt you ask, “why aren’t I learning?”
Lacking...

You ask me why I live in cave
Caveman not want to be a slave
I take a chance and look around
I see that people act like clown

Your little ones you not take care
You always running here and there
You drop them off at crazy school
No discipline when...

If your behavior is a reflection
     of what others say you are,
          you’ll behave as they like
               because...

To always depend on the status quo
Doing it the same way we’ll seldom grow
Without any change, progress will be slow
The experience of growth we’ll not know

But if by chance we overcame our fear
Made the decision our own ship to steer
A voice inside we may begin...

heave bursts from lips can both injure or heal
harsh words strike deep the bayonet’s metal
while kind words stroke soft as a rose petal
floral scent~ gardener’s sweeter appeal

The corridors of life are rarely straight:
Not only do they bend and twist and veer,
We find the way ahead becomes unclear,
Soon blocked by doors -- each door, a different fate.
We’d like to take our time, to contemplate,
But time will press, and each will urge, “Come...

Rest yourself here where water lies calm
    still, you could fly
              to perch on tempestuous cloudy bank
    perhaps to remain
