A Slave
Please sir don’t sell me to that man
I beg you sir, I’ll behave as I can 
I heard that he whips his slaves with lashes 
And burn them with cigarettes and…..
Make them eat their ashes

Please sir please I beg your kind heart
Please sir, please let...

The Physics of Love
Once, the fairy tale vein do I embrace, 
once upon a time
in the past not mnemonically distant,
were we the two poles of a magnet-
if you be the South,
me the North Pole.

If I be a flying matter,
You were the gravitational pull.

If I be the water,
You were...

Premium Member Wandering Thoughts of Liberation
The King is dead and Malcolm too;
Those who are left include me and you.
Now is the time brother, what shall we do?

The Black Power Stokley left behind
Is gone into decline; faded away—
No one remembers Kwame Toure.

Pass the White House today.
You know what they say:
“The more...

Pardon Mine Allegiance To Infidelity
Unfaithful marital transgressions
self admitted indictment,
crime and punishment,
no longer think high lee
entailing no mister re: demeanors,
I searingly weathered

(George by bushed, albeit thankfully,
no unwanted child left behind),
nonetheless one unforgettable
indelible, execrable, and abominable
professedly owned his
civil warring battle of life

transgressions undeservedly heaped
(Uriah hit about that)
(carnal feral hormonally seething
gone astray...

Over the Middle Passage of Time
(Apropos of Trials and Triumphs)

In the crypt of the ocean’s deep
Lay ivory bones
Of screaming ebony souls
Drowned in due seasoned journeys
Across middle passage sojourns
Of pilgrim’s progress
Yoking labor in the wrinkles of the earth
From the fresh dawn to the tired dust thereof:
Nothing...

My Brief Perception Sans, American Democratic Paradigm
Thee United States bedrock foundation 
built upon premises sans, 
Greco-Roman template, 
whence freedoms as liberty, 
life, and pursuit of happiness 

revered as constituent concepts, 
precepts, and tenets, 
within which complex edifice 
(unique to these United States), 
which metaphorical palimpsest blueprint 
analogously enshrine

My Changed Body Morphology
Incrementally corporeal essence, here

rubble flabbiness a glare
ring anatomical feature, I swear

shape shifted into a dare

Ghost of Harriet Harris Doth Not Countenance Monetary Largesse
After about fifty years as married wife
the last three fraught with strife
obvious telltale signs of terminal illness rife
hysterectomy irrevocably didst jackknife
at the least severely incapacitated
think pitted, riddled,
and rounced her tortured life.

Ovarian cancer affliction
on par with megadeath
bald pate (color of bleached skull),
and crossbones characterized mortal death

Ongepatshket Torqued Skewed Reflection
Ongepatshket torqued skewed reflection

drawn courtesy lots of byte size chalk.

When e'er I summon fat chance
to empower me self with courage 
and steal a passing glance
in the mirror then instantaneously 
hairline fractures appear
than 'afore long 
snap, crackle, pop
becomes crystal clear,
whence aluminium glass mirror

Premium Member Unseen Fetters
Unseen fetters bind as chains,
Yoking man to his sin.
Sweat and pain is his legacy,
As were father's before.
From outrage, His cry echoes for justice,
Drowning out Mercy's faint whisper..
There is no hope,
Without realizing that forgiveness is the lock,
And God's grace is the key....

Cupid Sets Hearts On Fire
Every February fourteenth,
(reference Gregorian Calendar see
High Middle Ages his Saints' Day)
which combs thee
day after morrow aye decree

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
mine near one and same
mean mein near best buddy
donning Harris tweed plus sundry
other manifold couture to express free

expression like... once upon time
innocently naive barenaked lady
Chatterley young hippy...
