Message To The Blackman
If slavery was a choice, as some have agreed, then what are we?
If watching your father and mother endure rape or murder was a choice,
Then why do we sit on idle hands, while Trump eradicates our posterity’s opportunities,
As if they were written in sand?
If not being able to read was a choice,
Then why do you

Blackman Unfolds
A world of wonder, but no delight
Anguished with always under plight
Living life doesn’t come easy
Struggles that can become overbearing
Love that is not love at the other end
The unfamiliar blend
Trying to fit in as a Blackman is at end
When you try to explain
It becomes lies by response
True spoken words
Not heard
No one listens
Emotions break out
Even tears
Cries being

Where Is Heaven - a Collaboration With Jack Blackman
(The sorrowful lover)
I was first to see her,
Her beauty was aglow.
I moved across the room,
approached her nice and slow,
and told her that her smile
was transcendent of Heaven.
I was Airst to know her,
So many years ago;
and she I loved so true.
How much you cannot know.
Then you came to take her -
To take away my heaven.

The Last Vampire Part 2 - a Collaboration With Jack Blackman
Part two (written by Jack Blackman) 0792059
Luth: I turned to gaze into my sibling's evil eyes of spite,
For fate had fallen on this forlorn night
To my delight.
I ceased my merry tune, a somber grin split wide my face,
My fangs gleamed in firelight as I stood framed
by the fireplace.
My amber eyes held his a moment
before I

The Last Vampire Part 1 - a Collaboration With Jack Blackman
"The Last Vampire" (Part one, written by Jimmy Anderson)
Sebastian: For centuries I've eagerly hunted my brother,
We shared the same father but a different mother.
Finally I found his home on the side of a mountain
In a well hidden cave.
That mountain would leak blood like a fountain and be
his eternal grave!
Like me he was a vampire
