in a manor of time it will tell
it's been so reconciled
it's hard to tell anymore
not s scull set up on a stump
sold separately no gun
but a tall tale on web buy now black market
but fishes fishes in your suit case and back pack 
can't believe your eye
fishes fishes that fall from the sky
it's a wonder and work's why
it's life and power
it's money that disappears 
it's the people that hate him
distracted discernment
brought it to an extreme 
trust of all bad advice from some
decent i'm sure fine young fella
it's astute I mean absurd

Black Market

Oxtail, beef ribs and 72 slice cheese

take it to Ajima 

And double your money 

Budweiser, Coors, and MGD,

Army says one case a day,

I used to get twenty.

In ‘95 beer was eleven bucks a case

You’d get $25 

For stacking them in Ajima’s place,

But watch out for MPs

Because If you get caught,

Its court-martials And Article 15s

Indian Elephants

Indian Elephants are listed as, endangered
They are a cultural icon, in India and throughout Asia
traveling migratory routes, while eating grasses, bark, leaves and roots 
to maintain the integrity of their habitat, that gives them prosperity 

Indian Elephants, spend up to 19 hours feeding a day
with a production of about, 220 pounds of dun per day
traveling 125 square miles, spreading seeds that germinate
as this is what Mother Nature needs, is for them to migrate

Humans greed their land, because of increasing populations
and it forces elephants, to seek alternative food solutions
It splits their groups, so they can’t herd with other troops
on their ancient home, because humans have built a dome

There are protected areas, that have illegal encroachments
as they clear forests, for roads and human developments
Poaching doesn’t help, as tusks only grow on male elephants
and the middle-class fuel the demand, for the black-market

Sumatran Rhinos

Sumatran Rhinos are listed as, critically endangered
and are now classified as, “functionally extinct”
as they are only seen in zoos, for their genes to be preserved
but the death of two subspecies, makes them so distinct

Sumatran Rhinos used to live, on Borneo and Sumatra islands
and are the smallest, of the living Asian Rhinos
These Rhinos have two horns, very unique to these hinterlands
and their long hair relates them to, the ancient Woolly Rhino

Poaching of Rhino horns, are sold on the black market
for medicine and ornaments, that makes them a big target 
and the biggest markets, are in China and Vietnam
as the greed of money, is a worldwide human scam

Sumatran Elephants

Sumatran Elephants, are critically endangered
and there are local extinctions, in many places
as it is humans, who have willfully managed
to invade their territory, not leaving many spaces

Nearly 70%, of the Sumatran Elephants great habitat
has been totally destroyed, by the now known human rat
 in just one generation, over two thirds of lowland forests
have been willfully razed, for business corporation profits

Humans have built, many pulp and paper industries
and constructed food generation, from oil palm plantations
creating animal, human conflict, over elephant territories
as the destruction of their land, is for human consumption

Only the male Asian Elephants, have those mighty tusks
and this makes them a be target, for the illegal black market
This cuts down their breeding, as they need a lot of conceiving
because the evil bloodline of money, is what humans are greeding

GONE VIRAL (For Corona virus/ Covid 19 contest)


Don’t splutter, don’t wheeze
Don’t cough and don’t sneeze
Or they’ll lock you up
And they’ll mislay the keys

Don’t tell them you’re hot
Just say that you’re not
And don’t touch your face
Or you could be shot

With those swollen glands
You’d best wash your hands
And stay well away
From where your gran stands

In this world of issues
And black market tissues
Hand gel is gold dust
And loo roll is re-used

For shelves are now bare
No toilet roll there 
Somebody said
It’s a media scare

It’s just four weeks on
So many folk gone
The cynics all died
Knowing they got it wrong

In gas masks and visors
The army now spies us
We walk down the street
And a magistrate tries us

But we are survivors
And no law shall tie us
I’m off for a drive
In my Corona virus

Creepy Damsel

See as she makes her move
Towards the end of the gathering
With this all eyes were on her as one we crave
So creepy the moves were as one so daring

In a minute she stole my heart
For an unreturned everlasting trip
Not to death but that which is called a black market
Yes a black market is it that in love it makes us creep

This love as a lad do lay in my heart
For the honour of the elderly
And to be well cultured in all endeavor
It's a bliss she creeps in that early

But her stay now has no favour
Hear me well you pretty
You've stayed this far in my heart
As you're placing me in the mold

Creepy oh creepy
As you nutshed me to loving you as a lad
Though favourable as lad but a stigma you're now
Stay away from me you pretty devil

You've hooked my heart and tongue to bow
For unknown cause amidst my peers
You're a worker of iniquity be far from me
Unto you I put my trust dear divine

To take the heart of this woman from me
And Grant me a heart of dear
This I pray and hear me dear divine!

Ten fingers
left and right palm pig squeezing a thief’s prayer merry

One finger
covetously dipped in the pie hole green apple gouging

Nine fingers
raven cloaked in vulture reaper robes condor circling

Two fingers 
giving the universal sign of double cross peace

Eight fingers 
talking black market side deal shogun spidery

Three fingers
got a pirate hook grip anchored in the purse sea

Seven fingers
be flagpole nose lying king Nero pose wannabes

Four fingers
preying mantis quotes holding the predator smile idoly

Six fingers
covered in silver serpentine tongue saliva oozing sticky

Five fingers
richly shaking down poor nations through debt slavery

Zero thumbs up
sell those Judas war coin lovers on the submarine ferry

Image Altering Reality

The wrath that they have for me and 
The envy they have for my dreams,
Man so much emotions they hating but
For fish: i walk on water,
For the hill: i climb my way to the top,
Rubber girls and metal men!
Im a wooden boy from deep in forests 
An outcast so i was Raised by wolves:
I sold hell to angels and Heaven to demons,
The leftovers i gave to mortals
Deep in the black market:
Giving out knowledge;
Watching out for the feds
I don't wanna go to jail,
But for what i believe in 
They can lock up me  for a thousand years. 

Hanging in the corners
Those pyramids for G's
G be Genius- Geniuses be the greatest,
Looking for formulas to conduct my new experiments:
Point of interest be dull in appearance
That's the difference
 between the top and the bottom,
What's above is not below: 
that's just the law of oneness so i'm not duplicating,
One be all- all be the mass
Mass be the people- the people be the masses.

Escalating, moving forward 
Rushes and blame me inches
Damn be ruin my phase,
That's more calculating 
Aeons to the modern day:
In the 1000th day i shall rule-
Giving code of ethics to individuals
So they too can enjoy the feast.

Black Market

Black Market 
					 
Black streets, grey cobweb into a
Luck star can fish,
Brown cockroaches moving around 
On a table,
 Setting the prices under the table
From day one I knew it 
A doom kill bugs

Light streets 
Are my joy and my daily perk
Bringing me piece with the others
Honesty fosters a relationship within which both parties feel secure enough to be genuine in their interactions

Blackborn

BLACK BORN
When next you think of BLACK!

Think of coal, 
think of massive power plants. 
Who will give a "NO" 
to a flashy hour glass.

Think of the ace of spades,  
it's the highest in the deck of playing cards
The face of Blades
The type that be cutting hard.

Think of the dark night.. 
The precidence of a beautiful dawn..
Think of its might.
The bright of a powerful town

Think of a skillet, 
for once, the fry of a tastefull source..
The messenger of a longing rouse and..
The blessing of an empty pouch


Think of  a Black box,
 Think of its saving grace.
The epochs,
 the beginning of many races.

Whenever you think 
 a Black market stinks,
consider its reach
And not the rich.


When I think of the black eye, 
the type carried by "black I"
It Makes me cry and...
 I can't but wonder why?

We sweep the award Plaques
We blaze the tracks
Always ahead of the pack
A very Hard nut to crack


We tough to the bone
Forget the tone
We are Boneblack
And glad to be born black

Premium Member Brighter Tomorrow

a brighter tomorrow

do you remember blue,

back in the days when whores
were temple women 
welcoming stranger and friend alike
into warm passionate embrace
in the service of the mother goddess?

when making love was not a shame
but a joy of celebration 
and defiling the land 
was a sin against the creator
because it was the body of our mother 
who brought us here, fed us, clothed all 
and gave beauty free for the looking.

blue, myriad blue is disappearing 

sky and sea no longer shine
they choke as cancerous lungs do
whores are sinning 
for someone else's  change 
and nickel-dime corporate hacks   
buy blue on the black market.

Sold In America


In America, you can buy anything ... 
if you got enough money
Purchase yourself a new identity,
but do you got enough money 
to get the plastic surgery
And of course, there’s always the black market
to provide near-perfect counterfeit ID
If you got enough money,
that is who you can now be
All access society,
all interpersonal variety
Love comes in any size or shade
Mail order brides can arrive 
special delivery shipped overnight
Only one little problem: ain’t none of it free
You can buy anything in America,
if you got enough money
Straight cash can get a power broker
to sell you some heavy peddle influence
You can make a lot of noise,
yelling in the private suite 
of the owner of the Dallas Cowboys
But that takes some serious money
If you like living in seven-star hotels,
plush spa chateau villas
How ‘bout living in the air on a private jet
that ain’t even being sold on the market yet
You can buy it all, right here in America,
if you got enough money, cous
But there’s only one little loophole:
don’t you be the one getting sold!

Sworn To Secrecy

First day on the job,
you took an oath to only tell lies
Had to sign a non-disclosure agreement,
before you got the Company suit-and-tie
You're CIA now,
sworn to secrecy
You're in the world of espionage,
living a 007 reality
Illegal arms dealers,
Mata Hari babes
Foreign rogue generals,
dark net cyber caches
Toss in a few drug cartels,
and everybody's getting paid
Everybody's getting spied on too,
electronic whispers homemade
You love your job,
truth be told, yet only under oath
But you dislike the party politics of it all,
though you like the sound
of hearing corrupt governments fall
You're CIA bred,
sworn to secrecy
You're in a world of covert spies,
living a James Bond reality
Illicit black market trade,
femme fatale operatives
Pandemic pathogens made,
secret outlawed experiments
Toss in a few psychotic terrorists,
and everybody's getting death video feed
Everybody's getting propaganda-ed too,
hacked disinformation makes liberty bleed
But you didn't reveal this publicly,
because of course,
you're sworn to secrecy
