Went to draw his gun but the holster broke
It dropped on the bank floor
And went off with a roar

LIKE CIGARETTE PAPER

My poor mother "La Daniela"
As they called her at the Casa de los Picos
In the capital of Segovia
Where mothers and children took refuge
In the fratricidal war in Spain
While their husbands were
In the war between rocks
Bunkers...

Unequal it was, this bloody war for honour and secession
The natives renamed their land Bangladesh
Inviting anew the wrath of a desperate West

a broken home topped off with losing it
To be wrong for trying to conclude the madness
to be able to concede but unable to retreat
Made me Frankenstein a monster

I would often tease her because she'd always...

If I were stronger
I’d say a permanent goodbye
To life
To strife
To misery
To pain
Ah…..the pain

For all that I have
And I am
I am
But they don’t see

All the Same To Me

5/17/22


Always they scheme
And obsess over memes

Opportunity is there and then it melts like ice cream

Crossed many streams
Climbed a mountain top so I could scream
As well as let off...

If there is a god and he does exist

You abandoned black people
And for...

My inner most thoughts sometimes holds me confined

To dealing with my deeds
I get down on my knees
And ask the LORD please

Wistful Aging

Age gracefully…that’s what I’ll do

To hear a sad love story,
