Mother, I need you to forgive me and I apologize,
it was ME who made the decision that day;
that Mother's Day, no one else was strong enough,
yes, I said turn off the life support . . .
The doctor told me you were brain dead,
oh Lord, I wept how can this be happening;
how can the most amazing mother be an empty shell,
but your eyes were no longer seeing this world.
I had sat beside your bed for days, praying,
and I would have given anything to save you, anything;
even my own life- mother, you loved life so much,
and would not have wanted to be a vegetable.
The room was quiet, the machines off,
then, you let out a soft long breath- your face relaxed;
and you were gone. I am so sorry mother,
I am sorry - it was me who set you free . . .

First Place
The brain-washed also washed.
‘Settled science’ led him forward confidently
into a simulated life.
It was while listening to the talking heads,
pundits, and cognoscenti
that he was struck by a miniscule,
yet consequential doubt.
Dismayed, he sensed
the props of his borrowed knowledge
begin to shred and peel away.
Eventually, his entire belief system
faltered,
friends hearing of this heresy
deserted him.
He wandered into a forest
where every tree was different
in its own peculiar way,
Both order and chaos
seemed to be
but one cohesive happening.
Legend has it
he deliberately lost his way
in order to find out
what had been overlooked by so many.
He is still looking.
Something different happened this time
on this year's Women's Day
We worshipped, we praised and sang songs
as the Holy Spirit in us moved and swayed
Today we have our 1st Black female VP
and soon a Supreme Court Justice as well
Something different is happening in America
as the sovereign spirit of the Lord now swells
Now Hannah couldn't bear a child
and Peninnah mocked her infertility
But Hannah kept on praying to God
in spite of all the animosity
A demonic triangulation was choking Hannah
and causing her much despair
Between the devil, Peninnah and all the hate
Hannah couldn't wait to get out of there
When demonic agitation and aggravation show up
that's when as Black women we must unify
As there's nothing we can't accomplish
if we stand together and work side by side
Yes we know it all begins at home
and by the words that we do speak
But something different can come about
if divine revelation and conversation is what we now seek
As it will change our outlook as well
as our perspective and perception in this life
No we won't take flight but stay and fight
against the contempt, the hate and the strife
And no we can't let rejection, disrespect
and negative attitudes
Steal our joy, damage and destroy
our godly altitudes
Something different can happen this time
If we simply to God just pray
And allow the sovereignty of God
to simply have its way
So fight thru your tears while living under the influence of the spirit
and don't ever waste your words
Know in your heart that something different will happen this time
when your prayers to God are acknowledged and heard
The two rulers were King Ahab and Queen Jezebel
from the city Jezreel, in the land of Israel.
A vineyard owned by another man in the city
became a very coveted piece of property.
This is a plot of ground stationed in propinquity
to the royal couple’s palatial facility.
King Ahab sought a vegetable garden for the land.
He’d pay any price, no matter how great the demand.
The man owning the property was Naboth by name.
He was a prominent subject of Jezreel with fame.
Always a proud man forever loyal to his king,
Naboth declined the king’s great offer for everything.
“I cannot sell the land of my fathers,” he would say.
Therefore, dejected Ahab got up and went away.
Later that night, the king and queen were in the palace.
The king’s presence invoked the queen’s inherent malice.
Queen Jezebel noticed the king’s languid sullenness.
She asked, “Why do you have this sudden unhappiness?”
Ahab told her of the unfortunate happening.
Hearing this made her question the power of the king:
“What you have told me is the most ridiculous thing
The words you have spoken have an unfamiliar ring.
I‘ll show you how it‘s done. I can handle everything!”
She wrote a letter to the officials of Jezreel
told what they had to do, and affixed the king’s seal.
The message told them to place Naboth in position.
Two mendacious accusers in a situation
will remark of Naboth’s unfaithfulness and treason.
Once you do this, before Naboth takes another breath,
all of you shall take him outside, and stone him to death.
With the mission accomplished, the queen received the word.
Here was the brief evil speech of the queen the king heard:
“Naboth is dead my king; I said it would not be hard.
Therefore, go king of Israel and claim your vineyard.”
The prophet Elijah soon appeared before the king,
This man of God conveyed the Lord’s message he did bring.
“Your blood shall be spilled here, and also that of the queen.
Dogs will consume Jezebel, and little will be seen.”
Two days have gone by and no new poems
What's happening to this silly old geezer
Am I having one of those damn writer's blocks
Those famous deadly brain freezers
Surely there's a bunch more stuff inside
It just isn't making itself known
Usually I'm a very patient old son of a gun
Hope this old mind hasn't blown
All those poems I had stored up for months
Getting near the end of the pile
Kinda frightened like a little kid, I am
My reputation's gonna be defiled
Think I'll lie down for a couple of days
To let my old bean-o recharge
Then I'll be back to my prolific old self
Sure feel like an absolute retard
They say it can happen to the best of us guys
Thought I was above all that stuff
So much for that “holier that thou” attitude
You guy's have seen through my bluff
OMG
SWEEPS
I Click 4 Riches
Living Large
Tall And In Charge
I would not barge
My way through
Winning 50k
In a free online
Sweepstakes today
That's way too cool
Nothing ever happens like that
To this old fool
There is no way
They are lying or denying
This is for real
And it's a really big deal
That just makes me want to squeal
If I checked it once
Then I checked It a dozen times
Oh my God
This one is all mine
Like they said in the email
You're the winner
Without fail
They are not asking
For a dime
Or feeding me some fancy line
I cant wait
Until they give me
What they say
Is all mine
I'm so happy
I hope they know
I'm coming undone
Because deep down inside
I know I have won
I have been trying all day
To except what good fortune
Has come my way
In such a big play
This has all been
So much fun
There is no way
I'm letting this one
Come undone
Oh Lord
I pray they did not
Just say it that way
Otherwise,
They would be
Just like
Those other guys
But to my surprise
Nothing about this sweepstakes
Is a lie
I don't want to ask why
I would rather
Wait with excitement
To open my eyes
To a big surprise
When
OMG SWEEPS
Gets a hold of me
With my 50k grand prize
They already notified me
With my two
Mail confirmations
Everything since then
Has been positive vibrations
Oh I can't wait to go on vacation
I have been at it for months
You know
All those promotional stunts
I think I'm hooked
I don't want to overlook
How few sweepstakes
This actually took
For the odds
To sway my way today
I'm sure I will not rest
Until the money Is safe in my nest
Now I can attest
And I'm not under duress
This is actually happening to me
Oh Lord
Let this turnout
For the best
I must confess
The whole thing
Has made my day
Simply the best
I hope this isn't a test
That would make me
Too depressed
I can't let
It get me stressed
I have got to try
My very best
Not to kiss it
All goodbye
And realize
What the good Lord
Has brought my way today
You Have To Play To Win
You Too Could Be Sporting
A Big Grin
After You Win
It's Not A Sin
It's A
OMG SWEEPS
Win
When you gave me your news
The sides of my mouth rose in a maniacal grin
Was this some kind of cruel joke
Blood rushed away from my brain
Leaving me feeling faint
I could not comprehend
The possibility
The reality
Of your mortality
It was like it was happening to me
"How could this be happening to me!"
You have always been here
I know you are not going anywhere soon
But this forces me to see
None of us is here forever
So I will not take you for granted
I will celebrate each moment of our laughter
I will fill up the storehouse of my memories
I will be the giver and receiver of hugs
Smiles will adorn my lips
Still, I will not be afraid of my tears
Today
Yes today
This very day
I will scream
Scream out my anguish
Scream until I release my inner sadness
Until I am endowed with your strength
For you do not allow yourself to wither in pity
You dance
You celebrate what is
Not what is lost
You do what needs to be done
You prepare for battle with a warrior's heart
The blood you have given me
Pumps from my heart
Back to my brain
To my eyes that see you
To my ears that love hearing you
To my hands that enjoy your familiar touch
To my tongue that never tires of talking to you
All the parts of me that fully enjoy
Our time
One day there will be a time beyond us
Yet that time is not now
So for now I will love you
I will appreciate the gift of you
When your time arrives
There is a part of you that will stay with me
The part that I will carry with me
To guide me along my own finite path
Until the time I bring it back to you
into the next world
The place that we will discover
Once and for always
That there is
indeed
Forever!
It's becoming clear to me about you and me,
That maybe we were not ment to be.
You are pushing me away everyday can you see what I can see?
No morning kiss, or what's happening today.
You just get up and your on your way .
No hugs on the couch like everyone else,
No tickles, no laughs, no fun being had, it's alot of these things that make me feel sad.
We don't talk about things that most couples do, and you don't include me in things simply because you don't want to.
There's nothing to look forward to no future plans,
No holidays, no getaways or breaks to be had, how can memories be made being stagnant all days.
I know I bother you in so many ways, when I talk or try to involve myself in your missions. You just yell at me and tell me I'm not doing it right, but later that night act as if all is alright. Brushing of any and every fight thats been had. Knowing my weakness, making me feel weak at my knees because you know I want love so bad.
So this is when I say it's obvious to me that there's something I know it's about you and me.
As sad as it is as much as I don't want to, I have to admit we no longer should be a couple, we need to break free.
Dont try to stop me, this has to be done, I know, you know we just can't do it because I'm not your one.
What is happening in the world today?
I really wish my life would change
Everyday’s exactly the same
Nothing differs in a good way
And I got no’ one else to blame
It’s like a picture in a frame
Just a pawn in god’s game
I was given this life I didn’t make it
To have to put up with all this
Eventually blows your head to bits
Not to mention a relationship
Great at the time, chuffed to bits
But messed up when you split
We’re all waiting for that big break
An opportunity for us to take
A lottery win, “wakey wake”
Stuck in a life that you love to hate
We’re running out of time for god’s sake!
Crumbling away like a Cadbury’s flake
To be rich with lots of money
How wonderful could it be?
Places to go things to see
Multiply your friends by three
But would it make you really happy?
Well it would help me
I can’t even afford to go out
Can’t afford a pint of stout
I sometimes want to scream and shout
I sometimes ask what’s it all about?
Keep your distance from my choices
You, with the staff of valor,
With the staff of all-truths
Deem me a simple fool
Dipping my wavering feet
In the pools of this ghastly world
I do not love to be in this place,
On the edge of conclusion
The brink of union and seclusion both,
To the last upheavals of verdict
Did I wish for these uncertainties?
And yet I chose it!
Asking for answers
Left open for me
Do you truly understand what it is that I face?
You call my pursuits frivolous attachments,
Immaterial accessories that must be,
As quickly as they have burdened me,
Disposed
I call them Blessings,
I call it Trust, and I call it Faith,
A sure love of which I chose!
Have you attained the eyes of God?
Do you know what He knows?
I don’t
Keep your distance from my choices
You, with your pains on display
Over and over calling me to stay
Look into my mirror
Do you see my dreams?
They thrive when hope and acceptance stand
Do you see her smiling?
Or do you see her failing?
Is she alone, and happy?
Or is she with you,
Bound in chains of never-happening?
You call it love’s desperate plea,
I call the sound,
Wanderlust
Can you truly love me,
And yet press me to stay?
As the winds blow my heart to Belong?
I envision my life with the words I have embroidered
Upon the waters of flourishment, far away from any doubt
I trust in the God that made us,
To lead me
To lead you
My tears run freely upon the hands that created this
Upon the salty moment, from pain to fulfillment
I trust in the legs God gave me
To walk my soul in the direction of the sun
He knows my heart belongs there
Just as you are sure I am a fool
If you care oh so deeply,
If you believe in the path that I choose to walk,
Keep your distance from my choices
Choose to free me
Choose to see me
