my closure not worth
      opening denial's door
 
       rest in peace at last

Hear grandma’s tea-kettle whistle,
quaint-blessings…out-moded thistles.

Soak mighty generation soil,
leaves steeping…ancient toil.

Stir mind over matters Gen-Z,
while you and bestie, spill the tea.


*spill the tea - gossip
**bestie - best friend...

we tend to forget the time when we ourselves were very young
our own parents did not understand some of the things we had done
we had our own style of music, our own dances and points of view
we fail to see that It's a curse every...

My love affair with bananas
 must have started shortly after my birth
 because it seems to be a generational thing. 
    
 My daughter spit out every Gerber-strained
 fruit that was not bananas, just like 
 Grandma did in the end.

 They...

Generational envy and jealous 
are tattoos 
In the bloods 
of some people out there. 

When a visitor knocked a strange  door 
And a samaritan welcomed him with 
A cup of black coffee  "or tea". 
We can see goodness which 
Pleases heavenly God. 

The visitor appreciated...

Tinted stars on flatter screens 
suave images do hype
Black & White visages from 
nostalgic era still archetype
Touched-up photos the ideal 
caricature to swipe
Still Life portraits from 
Renaissance remain heartfelt 
prototype
Gratuitous mavericks, in 
manicured uniforms with 
stenciled bats, freely gripe
Talented shills in baggy pants 
with suborned fealty...

Sometimes families are broken
This is no fault of anyone
It's grueling to navigate this world
This is true for everyone

Past histories passed down
Sometimes families are broken
Can't control your lineage
Or words already spoken

No need for despair to endure
Shift the tide on the generational divide
Sometimes families are broken
But but...

MY FAMILY'S FIRST GENERATIONAL CURSE BREAKER
 
In a lineage burdened by shadows past,
There emerged a soul, destined to outlast.
The first generational curse breaker they became,
A beacon of hope, bearing a different name.

Through the tapestry of time, their path did unravel,
With courage and strength, they chose...

All I ever wanted                                         ...

She wouldn't allow me to enter her sanctum,
Due to my affliction entitled kindness
For she wanted tough love
A touch of insanity and a pinch of absurdness,
Kindness was my weakness
Never mind my apparent strengths...

Remember holding your first born child?
The wonder of this newborn mesmerized you…
Remember when they took their first step?
How proud you were as they turned and smiled at you…
Remember when they said, that precious first word?
The joy of hearing them articulate clearly…
Remember when they started school?
How...

A world full of madness
equals people with sadness

Is the glass half empty or half full?
Nobody would know because everything seems dull

And so here we are again
With a new crack
And a new lack
Doing what we're told
Till we're too old...

From the ashes, arose the Phoenix unlike any other 
Destined for damnation and destruction 
Abruptly, the ground trembled 
A bird like creature shot from the ground leaving the onlookers petrified 
With an enormous wingspan, the creature began to pillage 
Not a word was said but...

Grouped around a table, drinks in hand
Smoke swirling thru the air as we sit
Try to talk the midnight heavens down
With our own brand of bullcrap

Dreams are spoken, truths are told
Striving to hold on to the innocence of childhood
Fears on the table, we all sweat
Not feeling...

Oh, Annointed Ome, crowned this day, 
Whose beauty lights up the sky; 
Take over please as ruler now 
Before we elders die.  

We leave you all this Planet and 
Dark Universe beyond; 
Your word will travel far and wide, 
Like ripples on a pond....
