Another HooDoo
Another HooDoo
I Know You're Very Serious
Following Your Plan
But I Don't Seem To Play-Right
Any Way I Can.
I'm Just Another HooDoo
Picking Up A Scar!
Inviting 'Sober Mines' To Ask:
"HooDoo You Think You Are?"
I'm This I'm That
I'm Everything
I'm Nothing,
If Not Odd.
I Run The Range
I Ride The Slopes
I Saw The Face Of God.
But Anger Will Seduce Me
And Slicing Through

Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
Altho' it's not E=mc squared,
Albert was heard to theorise
when he declared,
"Carrots are relatively good for the eyes,
it's a fact
they'll make you see well and look good too,
I'm blinding you with science,
it's not hoodoo or a voodoo act."
He then asserted,
with a wicked grin,
"It only hurts when you put them in."

Love Spell
Love Spell.
By Pippa Gray
He's the soul for which I wait.
I'll feed him darkest sabre grapes
and lead him to a bed of moss,
with velvet spread and moonstained cloths.
His sweet and salty skin I'll bathe
in goats milk and black forest oats.
His will shall loose with every sip
of rose

Oh lord have mercy on me.
Relax you've got mastercard,
New fan dangles is your fate.
No worries about interest rate,

21st Century Hoodoo Man
( to the novelist Arthur Flowers)
Ripened dreadlocks twisted of hope & filth
Ancient crevices trickle through brims of his glasses
While his callused hands hold mystery & misery,
Any eye could see he’s a man of power
A man who believes,
Awakening the sleeper
Protecting the weak
& guiding the strong,
For his pen stands mighty as blades
Fighting injustice & questioning
