Best Stereos Poems

It’s that time of year again
when lights are strung, wreaths are hung 
and glass balls in every color and shape dangle,
sparkling from evergreen branches
in homes, displayed in front windows
with plastic Santas, (some waving)
standing in Styrofoam snow 
for all who pass to see

Department stores are all...

Another boring lost night.
Sipping on warm beers outside the local store.
Trying to stay outta the cops sight.

Cars gather stereos blasting in the 
parking lot.
Local kids gather telling stories 
and smoking pot.

Susan and Billy just got back 
togather.
Jacks drunk again.
Lookin for a fight with a mind...

We grew our hair down to our shoulders
    Hirsute we were, moustaches and beards
  Turned up our noses at those who were older
    'Cos we were so hip, so freaky, so weird

  Revved up our stereos, going...

Tippy toeing across the desert sand cracked Cement stepping stone road

We venture towards The blooming onion bonfire that Rises like a medusa’s hair in a galaxy fueled by the heat of a dying star

The raindrops roll down my china doll cheeks

Makes my hair glisten like...

I live on the fabled 
   Lower East Side 
Spanish people hanging out 
  and playing dominoes for money 
Children playing ball 
   in the schoolyard 
  An Orthodox man 
complete with black hat 
   ambles past...

heres how i see it
and heres how it is
living in this world where half of it is advanced
with indoor plumbing
television
stereos
cell phones
computers
and a huge chunk of the globe is not
part of the world still has a hole in the floor for a toilet
and we say ignorance...

We lay watch dogs down into
The center of society
Anticipating explosions in the horizon
Refusing to acknowledge the bomb
Clutched firmly in our sweaty hands
We 
We
We
Are so busy focusing
			Outside of the looking glass
Preening our feathers and cocking our guns
What exactly are we looking for?

Peering past the homeless, the...

Grace,this word i so much cherish.
Filled so mightily my tender heart,your love,that i feel so feverish.

Like the sun that rise above all lights.
You cause me blind to all lady sights.

So natural like the single rain slowly falling droplets.
Your bosom, my only Love inlet.

The waterfalls descends...

The tiger shark had a good twenty more years of living to do.
Of living to do, of living to do! (This is the refrain). Refrain from singing it.
But because she eats everything she sees, the tiger shark died today.
Refrain: 
She died today, she died today,...

All right, here is the scenario and the how. Defeat the deceit she believes to be 
hers, abandon the bond between us, with re-established trust admiration and lust 
must appear. Bring me a woman that has made mistakes, bring me a woman that 
can appreciate...

For you
I would
create a mixtape
which I know is an ancient technology but
with me and you it is just that simple.
I race to you like we used to rush into each other's arms in highschool
where our only concern was whether or not we could get the...

tall gorgeous lighted christmas trees
elegant crystal ornaments big enough for all to see
shiny red santa, bows of silk, golden tinsel and silver bells
bright stars, mistletoe and tree toppers, all of this sells
leather purses, fluffy white sweaters, mittens and jewelry sets
perfume, scarves and trinket boxes, but...

Everybody's out having fun
on this lonely Saturday night.
Even your mom has a date
and your brother's with family.
Your sister's at a slumber party,
and even your preacher has plans.

So what do you do on a Saturday night?
When you ain't got plans
and your mama's out all night?

With a...

When I entered I wondered what I'd find
So much to look at sitting on the shelves
Perhaps if I'm lucky fate will be kind

There are some post cards with pictures of Elves
Stereos, jewelry, tools and guitars
So much to look at sitting on the shelves

I pick up...

Bloods, Crips, Kings
Brothers by oppression
yet the sight of colors 
can bring on war
While blasting angry
voices through stereos
KILL
KILL
KILL
Beautiful women
Innocent children
lose Father, Sons, Brothers
Future teachers and coaches
of our community under
mind control
These young kamikazes
used to be power rangers
lovers
Now they hold techs
without fear
Batman was their hero
Now the almighty dolla
has...
