My Contribution

...Oh, what shall be my contribution
To the Temple of my King?
When I ascend His holy mountain
What right tribute could I bring?

What present would my Lord desire?
What might serve His kingdom pl...

Wiles

...
It's criminal what women'll do
to keep a man down on the farm
shed false tears strategy I fear
pull the wool turn on the charm
smiling all the while
trap him wrap him twist him
round ...

Opening the heart chakra

...When we say, ‘I am’, our hand goes to the heart,
signalling it represents seat of our soul,
which drenched in God’s love deems no one as apart.
To open the heart is our very first goal,
without w...

Sense perception

...immediate and intimate 
is rapture felt when nodes gyrate
borne by currents of our senses
truth as felt, mind cannot truncate

why live out life in past tenses
when each moment breath commences...

Rest is revolutionary

...Rest was a luxury black people weren't granted
Something we wanted
But couldn't afford it
Our survival was more important

Constantly looking over our shoulder
Wondering whilst we're walking

An Open Petal

...Tall grass above
a sleeping dream
Hiding what
His promise deems

Embedded deep
within the blades
New whispers seed
as life conclaves

The sun to mirror
God’s new day
Each ray He grants

IRONIC EXISTENCE

...ronic – isn’t it…?
The very essentials we need to survive
Are the same essentials that endanger and destroy us!
The very same people we love
Are the same loved ones we hurt or hurt us –
The very...

Brotherhood Lost

...No need or want is greater still
Than that which lacks the higher will
And deems what others hold by right
Be gained by vile abhorrent might
Or lacking cause with common weal
Unhands by wanton t...

Doom's Date - Mar 5

...Doomsday’s dismal dawn, in the deep distance, 
Is our dusk, the diadem of decadence;
Daunting and depthless, a dark and doleful dirge 
Deems this dungeon of demons due for death...

Normandy

...Normandy

For man to set alight his earthly pyre 
was destined from the capture of the spark.
T’was mere survival harnessing its fire
to lift his primal world out of the dark.
It seared ...

Spring's Abysmal Guile

...Spring’s Abysmal Guile
By Sy Roth

A vapor rises, rank as the charnel pit,
a corruption of a miasma vast,
as though some sepulcher, long sealed,
split its stony jaws to breathe.
Vile exhalatio...

Roots of Rebellion

...
For Tom's 1984 The Fall of Big Brother

In the dark soil
beneath the weight of stone and silence,
the meek are not mere shadows,
they are tubers,
reaching deep in furtive places,
attracted b...

Renewal?

...Who would sell that which they do not own?
Who kept quiet that truth not be known?
Who betrayed souls their faith now uncertain?
Who moved devils behind a secretive curtain?
Who empties His house...

Lion

...The Lion roars from the highest peak it may reach
His voice covers the savanna
And all will hear His call
He calls out to the lost
To the hurt and broken
He shouts to them to lift them up
Above...

Time- Like Feathers, Fly

smoothing edges
