The grass is green on the field today.
Another baseball season is under way.
“Play ball” is what the umpires will say.
We all cheer for “THE” team of our choice.
It is a favorite “GAME” throughout the nation.
The stands are composed “OF " many a resounding voice.
We give our “BASEBALL” heroes a standing ovation.
The month of April “IS” the beginning of the season.
Spring training games were “PLAYED” before the start.
The teams are banking “ON " going all the way.
To make it through “A” long season, you’ve got to have heart.
Players, lets take the “FIELD” and play ball today.
I gave this poem nine lines to signify the nine innings in a typical baseball game.

Day after day, I was sad and depressed.
All I thought about was Marie and her short dress;
Long flowing hair and beautiful smile:
I'm afraid I won't see her again for a while.
Night after night, I hadn't slept at all
While staring at the four corners of my wall.
Towards the end of June 2023,
I've been sweating like crazy from the haze and humidity.
I usually don't wake up at the crack of dawn,
Although it was seven on a Saturday morn.
I had to bring out of this misery spell:
It was time for this turtle to come out of his shell.
After I showered and made something to eat,
I prepared myself for the blistering heat.
4 hours later, I left my home,
But couldn't shake the fact that I was alone.
I went to a restaurant on Marcus Garvey
And watched "Family Feud" starring Steve Harvey.
I ordered a chicken sandwich with no cheese or bacon:
"Excuse me, monsieur. Is this seat taken?"
A female voice said to me.
It was none other than my summer love, Marie!
She flew all the way from France! What a surprise!
I gave her a hug with tears in my eyes.
I said, "Marie, I'm so glad you're here.
Would you like to join me for lunch and a root beer?"
"Oui, cutie pie," she said with a wink.
So I ordered more food and an extra drink.
I felt like bursting into a dance and song
Now that my loneliness is finally gone.
Marie from Paris is the one I'll treasure:
I love you, honey, always and forever.

AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE: 2025
As Garvey echoed,
Only we can truly
Interpret our own
True reality:-
Thus, let us get to
Today’s above-ground
Railroading of ourstory
Engine-recking the lies
Of Klan-hooded history:-
Jim Crow based history,
Clearly blood-inking
The political reality,
That America was,
And never will be,
A haven for the ebony-hued
Multi-generations of Juneteenth
Heirs like those of you and me:
We being infected with mental slavery:-
And the maintenance Aaron of this
Infected historical syndrome oppression,
Is what laid down the foundation
For political oppressors to pontificate
America being such a great nation:-
Thus, from the view of ourstory,
It’s historical why we should worry,
When today, we hear that blasphemous echo:
“Come, let us make America great again!”
However, what we need
To do again, in renewed testimony,
Is to reassure becoming a unified nation
Reflecting the home of the brave and free,
Living desired lives of peace, love, and unity:-
Let us once more and again, sacredly become
An endeavor to be a nation of caring people
Seeking to become a land of free humanity,
Where there is freedom, justice, and equity:-
Indeed, with divine wisdom and guidance,
Let’s seek to not only sing our Anthem,
But to daily live out its guiding words,
In united God driven labors of love;
Protecting ourselves, and all who
Come to contributing to being
In a multi-ethnic democracy
Of oneness and onement:
Oh, what a onederful
Colorful perspective,
To be achieved
By us:-
I am black, I am not a curse
I would appreciate if you could stop
Addressing me as the world's worse
I am a human
So there isn't any need for you to treat me inhumane
Like you, I am a person who has a name
The color of my skin should not have to make me feel a shame
Nor should it give you the right to point, stare or give blame
Yes, I am black and I have a name
I am a human
Who is not a shame to say to others
I am a person with a name
Who has the right to be treated the same
So please stop making the color of my skin an issue
I am black and I am not a shame
So please address me by my name
I am black and yes, I have a wonderful name
Like historic and symbolic people before me
Who are the same and have great names
We are black, we are the same
I am Marcus Garvey, I am black, I can succeed
I am Jackie Robinson , I am black, I can achieve
I am Muhammad Ali, I am black, I can believe
I am James Baldwin, I am black, I can overcome
I am Bob Marley, I am black, I am a conqueror
I am Toni Morrison, I am black, I am ambitious
I am black, I am ambitious, I am a conqueror
I can archive
I can believe
I can succeed
I can overcome
Being black is not who I am, it's what I am
It's an awesome color that pushes me
Towards obtaining my dreams

The aromatic fragrance you love so much
Is curry with chips salt and vinegar and such
I love you more and I’ll show you how in a bit
I say it with “Chips” they are your favourite
I make a fuss “With” love just a little bit
You love your “Sauce” and I love you
You may have salt “Because” you love that too
I always knew when “I " met you
Our “Love” together would always be true
My hearts is yours “You” know that too

People I used to know,
People I don’t want to know, who are
Not capable of creating life, yet—crushing
Its beauty like the road-raged driver of a
Loose truck driven over freshly fallen snow on
The landscape, where kids played, now cried.
Agonizing people, with so-called pure
Blood racing through their veins, like water
Over Niagara Falls—crushing,
Until resting in a disguised flow.
My heart is crying over life’s destructive beauty.
While dining with questionable royalty,
Giving meals to those who are hungry,
Helping indentured servants over the fences
Of plantations with repressive conditions.
Setting caged birds free from beating
Their breasts and scared wings against
The bars of subliminal captivity; mending
Souls from despair of political fear.
Hear the rising voices of Bradley, Garvey,
Marley, Delany, Kennedy, Turley, and
Inspiring students at USC Berkeley crying
For liberation. People I yet to know,
Whose touch will be like the beautiful
Butterfly with wings spread, floating
Upward in such harmony with melody.
People whose passion will let us
Know, like Harriet Stowe,
How high life is
Capable to grow!

If I had a Broken Heart
I would of done things different if I had known
Today I stand here all alone
There were no signs the day I lost my love
My "Only True Love" sent from above
A piece of me has been ripped apart
A piece taken from my hurting heart
So many tears streaming down my face
Oh so longing for your soft touch, your gentle embrace
Special reminders pop in here and there
Sweet memories cherished together we share
Your cologne lingers in your favorite chair
I cradle myself in it wishing you were there
I hug your pillow as I lay down to sleep
The lonliness seeps in oh so deep
To hold you tight as I hear our song
One day, together my love, where we belong
