The Air We BreatheThe Air We Breathe
Whatever death hides in the dark forest?
The Man attentive to death-defying chances
with sinister low sweeping branches, strong
confused as to the hierarchical level
upon which their outreached strengths belong
hurries along
Beautifully poisonous trees
Gnarled treacherous roots designed to trip,
their sole grisly aim to thwart...

The Odyssey of We Are Centre
"The Odyssey of We are Centre"
Where does he come through
with his fishing lines?
Casting off metaphors
worms of vitriol
hooked and dipped,
he’s so green backed
rolling in grandiose
self published flack
unhip and seasoned
with his tart rye
swallowed for kicks
pulling deep wisdom
from his shallow
back pocket where
he...

Eppur Si Muove(As Galileo left the session of the Inquisition
at which he had been forced to deny his own
discovery that the earth orbited the sun, and
had to "admit" that the earth was static, he
murmured, "eppur si muove" ("but it moves").
It's hard to live in Lilliput, I find....

Hoosier FarmerLike his fathers before him, he was a tiller of the soil.
He loved the old farmstead that was built with sweat and toil.
He farmed with Clydesdale horse and cantankerous mules,
A sickle bladed mower, sulky plows and other John Deere tools.
He rose before the sun was...

Nuremburg Notation
When ruling orders are given,
subordinates must make it so
If they are evil decisions,
then lesser ranks should not yield their integrity
They should have enough moral fortitude to say no
A Jezebel justification
is an ancient war crime against humanity
A Nuremberg notation,
is it's modern day footnote in European history

Peace For BlacksHello, I come to speak of peace,
The kind which saves the mind from deviation.
To give life to dead instincts,
For the lost throne belonging to black men is found.
Let the whole world come to hear this good news.
Look at me and tell about what I`m made...

VicissitudeThe man looked at the unprofitable world
Then decided it was no place for him,
Toughen up his mind to go, to a fool's paradise;
Twined his neck in rope to heaven,
Waving and twisting like a ripe calabash to get

My Spiritual FreedomA worthless worm…writhing in wretchedness
Hell-bound creature because of iniquities
That was I: doomed to everlasting torment
Condemned to suffer forever…
Yet, God Almighty with His grace and compassion
Reached down to me wondrously…
…He lifted me up from sins’ quagmire
Transforming my life miraculously;
Now, like a butterfly, peaceably beauteous
I’m freely...

Dramatic Monologue
My Beloved SweetheartAffection and solicitude
rises in my eyes,
shaped into tears
as fresh as dew,
she was first and new,
lays calm and motionless
touch lost, ways parted,
Best of moments passed
as a flash of light,
an absolutely unprofitable life,
Rosy cheeks,
glittery eyes,
knee long silky hair,
tall and perfect thin,
why lay quiet ?
Who provoked you ?
Why...

You Don'T Have Much TimeLife is too short for quarrels and fights,
Time passes fast, so do days and nights.
There is never a replay or a rewind,
So don’t leave any opportunities behind.
Time is racing faster than fast,
Soon you’ll reach your last.
So do all that you must,
Before you’re turned to dust.
Don’t...

By virtue of its peculiarities
The gaze is at liberty through
chains of fragmentary images
The eternal light captures the attention
At sunset rise, with mystery of increase

My Place In HistoryI thought of emotion. I thought of desire.
What of that, you say?
Plan as we may for what is to come,
it does not exist, has not, will not.
And there is the only significance
as it rolls like thunder down forever.
Less than the void, there is no returning....

I HaveI have lived a thousand lives
I have fallen but I rise.
I have seen what most cant bare
Many moments brought a scare.
I have swam in unprofitable waters
Watch predators destroy our daughters.
I have endured torrential rains
Filled with the innocence pain
I have walked amongst the dead
Broken from words...
