African King

Your not alone in this trying world,
I feel your emptiness.
If I could I would break your chains and carry the burden of your pain. 
My heart aches too...

Some day those who keep you will be awoken.
I know your beauty, Ive felt your warmth and witnessed you honor,
Your word is bond- your a man amongst men, an "African King"...

Your courage and strength is commendable so I wrote this poem for you...

They took you life and name once again and replaced them with a number,
out of fear of the king within.
The boots you wear represent the hard road you have traveled, and the road you 
will continue on through this life.
The clothes that they make you wear are to hide your beautiful skin.

They want you to hurt, they caged you like an animal, dont let them win!!!

One day you will be freed and ALL will hail the "African King"...

NOTE: Written in dedication to a DEAR friend serving life unjustly...
(And all those unjustly in bondage- spiritually, physically, and mentally)

Workaday World

The bright sun 
       has 
       risen 
       in 
       the 
       sky
  the workaday world 
      has 
         jump started
  into action 
      Automobiles move 
        down city streets
  as pedestrians 
         dodge trucks
    Soon the masses 
will reach their goal
      A cup of coffee or 
      tea
  the day begins
     Minds and muscles 
move 
     Another day in the 
vast metropolis

Im Back With Madness

My life
It full of strife
Am I needed
Maybe Not
I live day to day like a robot
recurring incidents
On purpose accidents 
Feeling small and fragile
Though i can fight very agile
I've obtain my strength and become a man
Gaining many supporters and one glorious  fan
As of today i fought back and won
Now I have those fools o the run
The one that treated me bad
Watch out Im back and mad
