commissioning and attempted escape
“Son of Amittai, to Nineveh, go
And tell them of their great impending woe;
Their evil, like a stench, has come to me.”

In a town divided, no black friends did she know

She has her father's russet red hair and mother's walnut-brown eyes
The rarest combination, I surmise

Unfamiliar sensations 
Looking back to see my face
All is void black filled future

I’ve not written to you for many years
Santa, I’m quite different from my peers
Not fancy or frilly like girly girls

Today I got the most terrible news

All I ever thought I was,  was the slave in your eyes,
T eaching me the lessons of life, with wrought hands,
Every time...

There was a man who did a deed,
though not of hate, or even greed
'twas innocent, or so he thought
'til everyone was overwrought

They crossed their arms 
and stomped their feet,
one sent out an angry tweet

WINDOW SEAT

Sitting beside him in the window seat as they
taxied for take-off at the end of the day, she was
nubile and pretty, as young as his daughter, nearly
perfect in the way of a late-autumn sunset...

That scene’s of my childhood slowly begin to wane
As I strive to recall them from the labyrinth of my brain

For what hope or dream does my soul anguish?

BEBOP BLUES Dedicated verse for Delores Matthews-


How do ya! Do Rebop blues
Them there, tied up shoes
Crampin’ my style rebop blues
Like a misbehaved child

On the innocents
Of the human frails
So sad, ain’t no...

Youngsters laugh at our "good ole days"
No Ipod’s, cells or weed

in the moon's gravitational pull on my heart. 
Oh what a weak human, once was I
To be lured by the moon up in the sky.

Who never had a chance to write a poem
Who were killed by oppressors who couldn’t dream
Who could not express themselves...

We knew how to be kids in the 70s,
Playing outside every day,
We made our fun with what we had,
Skip rope, pogo stick, stilts even climbing a tree,
We had no fear, if you got hurt you...
