Lonesome Pirate
All by me scurvy seafarin’ self
Me pouch be empty;  nicked o' pelf
th' curvy wench tha' warmed me berth
lef' nary one ol' farrrthing's worth

On cap'n's orders bin swabbin' decks
seekin' sawder, spit-lickin' specks
afore ebb-tide 'til high neap-tide
but nary me own scurvy hide

In me head me digs...

If People Think
I asked a scientist to make an olive's leaf,
So green with its juices,
Smelling spring and sweat from gatherers hands.
He answered that he couldn't.
I asked him to make the light of the sun,
Reflecting its warmth in morning's appearance.
To make a sun enslavor of the sea,
Of breathing...

Big Nose
My cousin sure does have a big nose.
10 pounds of boogers come out when he blows.
Restaurant owners have to protect theirselves by installing huge sneeze guards.
Once he got some boogers on me and I hit that moron hard.
He soon learned that when I slug somebody,...

Me
I was born to be a survivor and a fighter.
That's why I became a writer.
As a child the physical abuse I endured.
Being a baby it was pretty absurd.

The child of recovering addicts.
Even one that still until recently would slip.
Watching a parent leave to get high.
My...

Yo what's up bro, how've you been man? I know I haven't talk to you in a while. That's my fault. I just get so tied up with life and all the negative vibes that I forget to stay in touch with my positive ones....

Gas Chamber Dreams
One by one they all line up
The smell of charred remains fills the air
"Get in line for a shower!" they shout
The men all line up with despair

"Take off your clothes and shoes,
So we can rid them of dirt and germs."
Most of the older men here
Have...

Menage a Trois
She brought her bestfriend
Said they're from the West End
We all dancing and jumping
Rum is the flavor we intend
You should se the way their bodies bend
Both their booties bumping
My house is where I brought both of them
Life is too short to not be twisted up in...

Dead Phone
Holding the phone no one answers its too late,
The time passes as you only hear it ring wondering why,
They're out of reach as if on the other side of an endless gate,
Little dide you know about how they had the whole night to think and...

In That Place
Their is absence of truth,
Even there lies no lie.
Trust cannot find her root.
Distrust even did die.

In that place,
Joy is like the chaff blown by may's wind.
Even Sadness,cannot face
The dexterity veiling the pillar's hind.

In that place,
Cry and anguish,made love and bethrot.
Peace and hope,like dice were shoved.
That...

City of Lost Angels
In a city, Full of people Whom are all lost, but 
to themselves, I sit. Girls and boys, women and men
searching not for their souls, but others. They all 
feel alone yet billions are around. And in this city
all are good hearted. They're what the...

Ikenna and Nkoli
Here comes the new yam festival,
And all town's affected by its fever.
The chief food; Yam- Foofoo,
Sauntered in with stormy rule.
Twas mounted so high like an hill,
That the feasters couldn't theirselves see.
Variant hand pierce the mountain hill,
Directing it towards their glottis brim.
Nkena did much of consumption,
Nnoli,his...

Decision
Nantucket has a beautiful lover.
In a Joy did hover.
Lovely trends,haughty love they
Convey to theirselves. Within years,
Something promiscous perchanc'd between them.

Mercus and Lara intruded,
Mercus fell in love
With Nantucket's beautiful lover.
And Nantucket was vexed.

Who are you?
Nantucket's had asked
with burning anger.

Then he
Killed him;

Jailed!

Media
The media's only thing we like sordelco for the pour
Where alcoves only pair theirselves for hocus pocus bhore
When all who watch heir listen more their cautions for alt time
Wear otius ferries for their trelves of cratious varied core

And take what honor's left in them
to traceous...

Allermann!
After your president you should go.
Be a proud for your country.
Concentrate to hold your children.
Don't mess with finance.
Every day is a new day to task yourself.
Forgetting the movements will stand you still.
Gas through the air.
Holds tight in the nose, but always reminded of the woodenhouse...
