Black Americans, Listen Up!

The morning after, November 6, 2024
Many are deeply hurt to the core
Don’t allow a result to spoil your joy
The Devil will always destroy

Don’t lick your wounds, simply adjust
As...

Of jealous Gods, monsters and ill-fated men who sailed the sea.
My tale is set in hoary times when fickle fate was by divine decree.
Then...

LIFE/CUBE?

All of us here,
Stuck together like a 
Rubix Cube with all 
Of its shuffled colours.
 
We begin to take shape 
With the white cross; 
The time when we are 
Completely fragile and 
Dependent on others....

These pains are...

I don’t always say the right things
Words don’t always come easily to me
Revealing the way my heart quietly sings
Lifting the burdens too heavy to see

I don’t always reach out with grace
When I see a heart...

I would have to say the greatest performance of my life is survival
And turning bad things into something positive to help others
I survived severe trauma as a child, I was silenced and deeply hurt
I survived...

To the best of my memory, the word brainwash
has been used in reference to me only twice.
The first time happened more than 50 years ago.

I Have No Time for You

To his child, it’s “No dice”

need to take turf in remembering howls across oceans mourning dream special wish

You would want a good fire tonight for sure ice stormy fierce...

Old And Holding Aces

I am old, youth lost does so deeply hurt
no more whiskey drinking brawls,
now slow and tired, feeling older than dirt
I no longer chase the pretty gals at all.

I am old, bad knees...

SCARS



On my wrist small white line
Cut with bread-saw aged  nine.
Thumb carries snake-shaped patch
Memory of barbed wire scratch.
Arm got torn from mountain fall:
Could’ve lost it  -  close call.
Big white mark on  knee...

Tired. Unwanted. Alone
Three words I'm used to saying because I always feel like i'm "on my own."
Physically here. Emotionally gone. Deeply hurt.
A body in motion, but mind & soul feeling in the dirt.
Painful memories. Restless...

I saw you across the room
You were with my best friend
Dancing to a slow song -Harvest Moon
You held her tightly in your arms
Then planted a passionate kiss
Oh Its My Party and i will cry if...

Hate me
Berate me
Despise me
Deeply hurt me
Traumatise me
Use me
Ridicule me
And brutalise me
Hit me
Kick me 
punch me
Reject me
Stamp and dance on my grave
And have a rave
Squeeze every molecule of happiness
From my wretched soul
Poke me in the eye
And...

Won't you forget what I done
Please forgive me won't you son

Didn't mean the killin' I done
Never tell 'em I'm the one
Should never've touched that gun
Forgive...

My heart is a broken plate
My heart is fire burning in flames
You played me like a play...
