Reflecting within silence of my thoughts
I feel the ills of world in its stygian form--
Its music devoid of the melodic sound
Echoing in humanity’s tenebrous bawl.
On my way I see summer’s rose gardens
And autumnal look of auburn elegance,
But mostly I encounter parched look of life
Like a river dry, in the grip of drought--
A depleted look of empty wine bottle,
Nothing left to offer, devoid of its buzz.
A hidden voice prompts, raising its voice,
Asking what the world would be like
If it could wipe all tears in mothers’ eyes,
And on troubled faces put million smiles
And feed the hungry, gripped in strife.
Peering now into grieved, disquieting lives
It takes me there to war-torn towns—
Pointing to a child wandering empty streets
Orphaned by someone else’s misdeeds
Amid nothingness of abandoned dreams;
Asking me angrily how does one restore
The flame that blazed in desolate child’s eyes
Before they brazenly killed her family…
Can you look in her eyes and explain why?
Can you dare say she’ll have a normal life?
I look for epiphany in epistle of almighty
But stumble in hindrance of the ordinary--
Wicked, narrow views of blatant primacy
Attempting to justify, but failing miserably.
I hear them trumpeting the world as it is
Sounding foolish in the world that could be.

Dear beloved ladies on the street,
Your beauty should not be for rent,
It's more than that which is spent.
Your body's not for worldly gain,
It's meant for love, not worldly pain.
True love is not in what you do,
But what you are, deep down, it's true.
Your heart is not for money's sake,
It's for God, and love to make.
You're precious, more than any gold,
A soul of value to behold.
I pray that you will come to see,
Your worth is more than you believe.
Virginity is not a sin, but pride,
A treasure to be held inside.
A gift to give to one you love,
A sacred vow from heaven above.
So, ladies, hear this plea,
And turn from all your vanity.
Protect your bodies and your souls,
And let your love for God control.
Your future husband is waiting there,
To love you with all of his care.
Don't waste your beauty in the night,
When you could be a wife so bright.
Choose a path that's filled with grace,
And you'll find love in a sacred place
Your bodies are a holy shrine,
Deserving of the highest design.
Don't let the world deceive your heart,
With empty promises, a false start.
Remember, true love is patient, kind,
It doesn't boast, it's not confined.
So, ladies, hear this plea, I pray,
And let God's love guide you each day.
Don't sell your bodies on the street,
Keep them pure, and love complete.

Now I've been saved for bout 6 years now
and been what we "Street Poets" call "Spittin"
for bout Four, and still I get asked the question?
What's it all for... You see I don't know bout
your God but I know mine. And time is of the
essence to this underworld spirit
and I've learned just praying and
coming to church ain't enough
I gotta also live it
Jesus came to fulfill the promise
I'm just here to get it
and as a child who was made
in his image so will I take my
throne in that home we call Zion
I know my name rings bells in Heaven
as one of God's beloved icon's
I moved up in his ranks and
been labeled as a sergeant
but the world is watching so I get approached
with caution, even as we speak
the devils whispering
(They Ain't Listening To What You Talking)
Then I look back he almost had me
back in '06 I almost lost it
had suicidal thoughts cuz I was
broke, homeless, and jobless
but look at me now being a
servant of the great "I AM"
feel good don't it
So at the end of this poem
don't thank me thank God
I see you, giving me a standing
ovation in Heaven, this is my Epistle
To The Church
Sincerly Yourz,
Mr.Ross
With fustigation to amelioration
We are led by The Law to The Gospel
And in turn The Gospel demands we keep The Law
No epistle of straw, there’s room in the hostel
(Because God’s style to the world is hostile)
We are led by the Spirit
To learn to endear it
Endear what? Is a sinful recitation
Learning to serve others in convocation
(God calls us and overhauls us
Whether one by one and together)
How do we inherit eternal life?
By loving our neighbor as serving kin
Who is our neighbor?
The one without (as in not having and not within)
The fustigation of Jesus Christ
Begs our amelioration of a fustigated life
And if a cruciform life is led
There must be blood, sweat and tears shed in stead
(Or instead of the evil in tow as is led here below)
Life is hard, there’s no doubt about it
Jesus’ words touted and shouted from the Cross
But serendipitously (and graciously)
When we lose, we don’t count it as loss
Are you willing to look like a hypocrite to the world without?
Are you willing to look at the hypocrite within?
(As He lived and then hung betwixt two of us)
Jesus took on this struggle without committing a sin
in lieu as payment for buzzfeed ding,
livingsocial, lodging, et cetera accommodations.
the best buy google research to locate a
handy dandy blues clues milieu, true
value venue iterated above reference
to intentional communities, yet no idea
this bumbling, fumbling, rambling,
et cetera twisted missive would find me
making mention of a logically obvious
proscribed resource. upon setting
my figurative sights regarding the end
ever explicitly, fixedly, and pointedly
to communicate how to adopt modalities
helping other people (in ways within
my capacity), the undercurrent, sans
writing this epistle, an off the beaten
track prospect found unplanned impregnated
insinuation cradling embryonic vision
visited by the secondary modus operandi.
the bespoken ambition (asper reciprocating
the consideration to pursue voluntary
employment. ideally this agreeable deal
(includes a small stipend plus room
and board). the inclusion of the latter
(tacked on as a strong consideration -
figured as welcome visualized reprieve.
hence this prosaic/ poetic add on -
at no extra charge - slightly expanded
the original intended tone of this blurb.
rather than dismiss tangential thread
mainly to air considerations divergent
incorporating alternative arrangements
to call home already moderately
lengthy soundcloud, i freely shared
a tangential welcoming pseudo string
of consciousness thread.
At the very cusp of winter dawn,
Before the sun wake from slumber,
The narrow alleys lay bare and silent,
The moon slowly fade from existence.
It is at this hour when feet hit gravel,
Rushed steps race against time.
The winds carry distant heartbeats,
That of a woman barely nineteen.
The youth of her fragile soul,
Thunders against her bosom,
As she nears the clock tower,
Holding testaments across time.
A man barely out of youth,
Slips out of the shadows,
Their fingers barely grazing,
His own heart raging still.
A change of hands for the epistle,
Delicate letters weaving tales,
Of those not to be spoken in daylight,
Finding refuge in the solitude of night.
