What's in a name,
what say you man of the high mountains
Euro pleasing
 I am not who you say that I am
Elohim my first Father my true love 
My bridegroom He created me 
But yet you have renamed me 
You have chosen to call me out of my name
You stolen my name but I know my name 
You call me so thoughtless out of you mouth this through United States census
*****, Colored, Black, African-American, Afro-American
 back to  *****,  Brown Skin, Darkie Boy,  N*****

More too come???

What's in a name?

Fate

Fate!

She rowed in moonlit night and I 
Was staring in the darkie deep 
She smiled and at once I enthralled
She with Her mystic eyes peep

She harkened come and sit  with me
You standing at the forlorn shore
I'm there  roving ,  all alone 
I'll be lonely now no more

She said I'll be at thy side 
And hence she gave me oars
I sat in boat with her and she 
Opened the ocean door

She said that thou with mystic eyes 
Now shore thou can not see
I'll be at thy side and thou 
Forever live with me
I'm the second life of world 
I'm eternity 

In wavy ocean dipped she oars 
And boat too far off went 
I slept on floor of bluish deep
Along with flowery scent

(Tucker’s Wet Dream!)

It seems ‘twenty-four/seven’ Republicans choose
to subject us, our nation to “Screw O’Clock News”
as if Truth’s all that exits their Trinity holes!
What they say is pure gold! You have doubts? Check the polls
that Fox scripts and then pays for (though fools do resist
who are closer to monkeys - most dark-skinned!) Sun-kissed
to pick cotton, from day’s dawn till dusk (if poor’s genes
chafe a bit, most are blessed by such labor). It means
they’ve served ‘Light’ (in a way!) For a ‘Darkie’ it’s play!

Yes, Tuck Carlson “hates” Trump (In his soul! Gosh! Who knew?)
though he puckers right up when Trump’s rump is in view
AND Tuck’s paycheck gets bump! Sure, Tuck smiles (swells with pride),
his tongue forked like a snake’s! Proof he’s on the “Right’s Side!”
The Conservative’s Mantra’s that taxes deserve
to be paid by the poor for they’ve less to conserve!)
Watch how wealth dribbles down! There’s more cotton to pick,
when the rich hoard their gold (the truth’s poor don’t get sick!)
Poor man’s liquid desert – faux gold trickle, not spurt!

Darkie Me Shy



Can she see
the beryl words I keep
hidden inside?

Precious words I want to say,
but I’m too
darkie me shy

I cover my cocoon feelings
with an awkward “hi”
Whenever she Madame butterfly
	      passes by

I love how she gives me
a bright smile 
with her beautiful eyes

Makes jade heart 
	no want to be
so darkie me shy
	
Oh, how I love
her candlelight eyes

They shine forest green,
    at dawn sunrise

This lovely morning,
I overheard her name
for the first time ...

Today, me going to tell her mine

And hope that our lives
	can become 
           as one Divine

Oh, how I love
her halo radiant eyes

They glow          sky emerald
in the evening twilight

Going to let her see
the tears of joy
kept bottled up inside

Shower her with love ...
give a kimono kiss no goodbye

Rainbow light 
every evergreen lantern 
in Tokyo tonight

Watch the glowing teardrops
brighten the harbor sky

Let her see the Sol fire passion
	  when doves cry

Then there be no aurora soul 
reason why
to stay darkie me shy

Fool's Goad


Little lemmings,
beware of the Yukon yodel
Don’t ear swallow the Arctic shiny yellow
Fake eureka disclosure: It’s jingle hollow
So, enamel blowflake please,
place not your panhandle hope
in Ivory Boast fool’s goad

I, ebony breath beg of thee,
be not glutton belly-button led
by a cold, glittering scold
Don’t covetously follow down that 
moral bankruptcy road
In pocket phantom search of 
the vapor Mutter lode

Me true mouth reveal 
You con artificial treasures,
lip sin-thetic as can be
Buried deep 
in hidden veins of avarice, 
a fraudulent rush of pulse greed

Little lemmings,
has your metallic lust minds
been pricked 
by the spiked-tongue,
prospector stick
Well, that illusory discovery
is sho’ gonna make you
empty riches sick

You’ve been mine shaft collapsed warned:
With an amber hair air of wavy mirage con-fidence,
scratch not shiny pockets of leper loins
Don’t dare hoard collect 
pubic counterfeit canary-colored coins

This project Private D be  
pitch black ink hurling free,
five-star ingot spit
Can you dig it!

Rare Darkie wisdom uttered 
be Ghetto parable 
Nugget knowledge unstuttered —

Strangled Justice

Just another siren roadkill:
A low-down, 
rabid raccoon resisting arrest
at high noon
A feral noted asphalt death

So says the official pol-pol report
In a Terminator monotone
was the desk commandant’s
brass tact,  swastika vapor retort

Abel-bodied justice, sho’ nuff — 
A redacted cam footage snuff
Grim fire Cain desire,
hate-lust displayed 
when coldly 
slapping on the Reaper cuffs

Tar baby fetal prone pinned fatally;
poly blue-kneed on the jugular,
Bwana caught baboon can’t breathe

By George,
bad monkey got a name
Floyd recorded on the birth registry,
a curious
violent death
t’was how the end came

Ebony communities unnerved
by the strangled justice served

Latest rap sheet statistic said,
just another darkie
lights out dead
Midnight scary thoughts:
Pet cemetery spook laid in a 
ghetto dirt bed

Asphyxiation was how his neo-plantation air bled 
Suffocated by roots of slavery injustice, I’m afraid

I Rode Shotgun


I rode shotgun
		with someone
who look just like me

Had the same skin color
			as far    as I 
could steering wheel see


I rode shotgun
		with a racist someone,
	who hatefully 
talked the same way as me

Had the same gnarled speech,
	same gnarly hands,
		same ugly voice,
			same cursive feet 
like the carpal in the passenger seat


I rode darkie mind shotgun
		with a ghost face someone
who look unholy, just like me

Had the same 20/20 side-by-sidearm vision,
		same 20/20 gauge belief
As near   as I
	could peer passenger see


I once rode shotgun
		with a rearview mirror friend,
now a gas pump-action enemy

It’s hard to double barrel conceive,
		I went from zero-to-sixty   in a heartbeat
Change of attitude direction 
		came baptismal trigger swiftly


I was passenger told ... and I prayer hope,
	distant objects are closer
		than they appear to be

I'M That Darkie


You know me,
or maybe you don’t
I’m that black cat
sitting in the back
with the big white eyes
glowing in the dark
If you’re one of them uncool rats
who love making light
of other people’s plight
Well, that ain’t right ...
it’s gonna make the darkie in me
open wide your eyesight

I’m that darkie
whose voice don’t have a dull shine
I’m that black cat
who’s gonna speak his mind
I’m midnight invisible,
watching the greedy dogs
snatch the crumbs off the table

I don’t fight, I don’t flee ... 
when I’m in your presence
just let me be ... let me live in peace
Don’t bother me,
but if you do
I’m that black raisin seed
that gets stuck in your teeth
Make you spit my name out your mouth,
give you nightmare blackberry grief

You don’t wanna dance mental with me,
‘cause this darkie was born to shoulder pain
Can take the brunt of just about most anything
Each bruise makes my skin darker than its been
And the darker it gets, the more I feel free
I will die showing the next gen 
	       what the color of true courage be

Miss Claris

Out of the hills of St. Catherine and the plains of Linstead 
emerge a warrior princess…
A victor not a victim of her circumstances, struggles or plight
Miss Claris

With warm, loving, industrial hands she raised a large bunch of children…
Curry saltfish, roti, curry goat, fried chicken,
Mackerel run-down, roast yam, bammy
She could cook it all…
Miss Claris

Fierce, blunt, tell it like it is –Miss Claris
She has an endless list of alias for everyone-
Miss Uptown (that’s me), Dunnie, Baugh, Tony, Pauline, Junie, Mellow, Mousy, Sueie, Manchin, Chu-cho, Lovene, Darkie, Sam, Tin-Tin, Troy, PAULINE
Miss Claris
A fantastic sense of style, unconventional sense of religion, devotion to family and friends and a beautiful smile:
Miss Claris

Justice Is Colour Blind

A blot they want to wash, detergents do not work
Ineffectual, institutional and cover ups a stir
Excuses abound, squirming hierarchy found 
"Its just a darkie, why so narky"
The corridors would sound
It still goes on, gone several years 
Distrustful patronising leaders
A scurge we hope that does not surge 
To Nazi ways and olden days
Where races they would purge

Ex Drover, Me

Ex Drover, me

As the cleaner sweeps the street,
And the saddle leather squeaks,
cos he's riding ol Darkie,
an his mind is with the herd.
He remembers the cold nights,
Leaps from his swag at daylight,
To stand by the fire ,
For some breakfast egg n bacon.
Yes bloody sah!

An the coffe black as char,
Sucked from his quartpot , jar.
And the toast is a burning ,
Like a bad cigar.
Is burning ,
And the sun comes up, aha.

So we’ll move them poley bullocks,
On the grassy stock route millet,
And the bore drain will water ,
Them poley bullocks shortly,
Till we get to Mungathar.

Different

He killed him for being black.  ''Darkie'' he shouted before the bullet hit.
She was spat at for looking different ''paki go home'
Laughed at for wearing a scarf.   Kicked to death just because he was a jew.

We may all look different, have different believes.  Yet we all are the same race, one race.  
The human race.

Our blood is the same colour.
