Some near,
Some far,
Some to fear.

Clear and chosen.  
The erasure of a closing.
The logos of math.
The trajectory of wrath.
The conciliatory legislation blindly ruling the cosmos of...

Temper Tantrum and Wanting Attention
Subject: Temper Tantrums

Give someone having a temper tantrum
an inch and they will take a mile's worth
of attention. You cannot kill the same 
dead horse twice or shoot a six shooter
a seventh time without reloading it.

Silver Star
SILVER STAR

I have long since lost Hope,
because my paths are so endlessly long and aimless,
as if sculpted out of my restless spirit
in the long nights of reverie.
You know, Lord... I used to have my Hope.

Experienced a lot of negative, but am putting out positive vibes
When needed, turning into Optimus Prime
Even during Ominous times
Others so quick to drop a...

A Small Glimmer of Light
what is my claim to fame
a face in a crowd
no name
that stands me out from the multitude
wading aimless in this bottomless vat
searching 
for a glimmer of that somewhere light
climbing on ladder straights
that bend and break

The odds were never Even Stevens
I have yet to find the Garden of Eden
Differences even in what we believe in
Ungrateful for such freedom
So quick to commit treason
Even without good reason
So typical and often every season
Occurs...

The Enemy
They say blacks have a thing called fast twitch muscles
that enables them to run faster or dodge a modern day bullet.
It’s unfortunate for Michael Brown,
He wasn’t able to outrun it when his enemy pulled it.

Using stealthy ninja skill capabilities

Though you only feel half alive
Toys are strewn in every room

Sped Up Or Slowed
2/8/17


Straight, curvy and bumpy roads
Some with cones
All across the globe
Tools made of stones and from bones

Got to stay in the zone
Wherever I may roam and rove

Certain boards bowed
And automobiles had to be towed

Money being owed
And...

Understand the caricature
To understand the creature

Acrimony is the first step to atrophy

Sacrilegious or areligious
Voracious visions visit the valiant

Written words form the tapestry
Tattooed across his very flesh

Dine with the dead
And you'll come out ahead

Cull the herd

How you know
What's in the grass if you never mow

How you know
If you don't
Stay on your toes
And have nothing to show
Now and long ago


How you know
There couldn't be an undertow
Whichever way the waters flow

How you...
