Best Followed Poems

Demons are everywhere
seen and unseen
They use you and abuse you
yet they follow
They pull you to the right
they pull you to the left
they spin you around
yet they follow
They manipulate you
confuse you and torment you
yet they follow
You ask the question, WHY Lord?
and he answers 
follow or be...

They followed a star

As time and place has its solution for all,
those wise men knew, that a messiah will come to call.
Recognizing those celestial lights with their eyes,
that history and culture will change its destinies by surprise.
Traveling with the light so bright no doubt,
knowing the...

One day, having no cares, as I walked along
my mind was like a slate needing written upon,
for no words had I – not even a song.
Any thoughts coming to me were just as soon gone.

Soon enough there came as if out of nowhere
a sound! A...

On a very wonderful night
Two-thousand years ago 
A beautiful baby boy was born
And in the sky a star did show

From Heaven above
Jesus was sent here to earth
Sent by His Father to grace
Us all the way  with His birth

The Three Wise...

Walking down the street one dark night; I passed some road working equipment.  Down the road a bit, I felt I was being followed.  I glanced back and saw a backhoe that I’d passed at the work site; my god, I thought, I’ve...

Yo Lauren,

From faith, to fugees, to fantastic lyrics against abortion and the senseless
extermination of black babies under the guise of family values making slave prisons for
profits.

I know your heart, as it spoke to a young brotha with a baby on the way, with way too...

Just having fun at a bluegrass jam
When a stranger came up to me
He asked, “What sex is your mandolin”?
I said, “Where do I look to see”?

Alright said he, does it have a name?
Sure, I sometimes call her “Lexie”
Well there you have it, she’s a female
I...

There's a story,
As old as time,

Cute little girl skipping thru the woods,
A big bad wolf who follows behind,

She's Carrying goodies for her Grammy,
She does it with love and because she's kind,

The wolf trots ahead,
He's a mastermind,

He eats her Grammy,
Wolfing her down with a glass of...

THE ONE WHO FOLLOWED THE STORM 
A postlude to The Tenth Wave 


And I felt helpless, as I could do nothing
But watch them sway in the wind out to sea 

Hush, hush!
There, yes, right there, if you squint you can see it
Among the debris, there,...

Two roads lead to the apple orchard.
And I cannot continue to two.
Indeed, the gaze is in that period.
I am the visionary, long I pursue.
And start to move, might be up in the queue.

The young people hit the paved road.
They are getting deeper and deeper in...

I followed you

I chased you

But not in the street

Neither behind you

 

I followed you online

I checked on you every minute, every day

WhatsApp on you?

Your update is the start of my day

 

I followed you

I keep on checking what’s on your mind

What are you doing?

Where are...

It occurs to me
I could have gone the other way 
in the last 10 years of my life. 
I could have kept part of what was old, 
broken only piece of it, 
introduced a new fragment to fill in. 
So I would have a new...

imagine if all your heroes,
all your idols, all your 
“spiritual leaders,” who
have supposedly written books
(or had books written for them/
by them), whose “lives” have
been depicted as such by those
who never lived when they lived,
who never saw what these 
people were supposed to look like,
who tell...

I could never really understand
Why some women
Won’t give me the time of day
And seem to look the other way
Or I feel like I’m being hunted
And I’m their prey

I just don't get it.
I get so confused
You either win
Or 
You lose
And it seems I don’t always have...
