Long Peddlers Poems

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, science...

This train is coming down the main
This train is rocking my brain
This train is the overcrowded train
This train is washing in the rain
This train is the messy train
This train is filled with pain 
This train...

I have always wanted something wonderful out of life
But my mother said there is always a price
It has nothing to do with land, money or property 
Someone has always been there for me and I...

Hope in me and mine
Surrendered to Christ's lifeline
The gospel design

Satan's stronghold fell
His counterattack to quell
Standing saints repel

Just two percent more
That competition calls for
To heighten your soar

Debtors on the run
For His water, soil, and sun
Only the...

My occupation is supplying individuals with the substance of their worst desire
Most dealers driving force is the desire to increase their wealth, monetary gain

My appointment didn't show up today
So I decided to hang out and play
I circled around Ellanor's  Park
wandering about  in the dark
and thinking about the road ahead
The rain has just fell leaving mud

I was born in the odds, 
I lived through it,
dotted the lines on my path
I was born among hyenas, 
these scrambling to stiffen the last breath, 
Amidst hurts and hate first from home,

A lot cast...

My ancestors had years of struggle
Trying to blend into their masters ideas
And to secure a slot in masters good books
They fought hard to disown who they are
Just to prove themselves worthy
Of their masters colonizing philosophy

Outside he walks 
along the streets 
where a legend was born 
and lived in his hometown
of Baltimore
Yes, none other than Babe Ruth

Standing there alone 
in front of his birth place
he daydreams into the past 
of...

Darkest night and longest hours:
Hours to labor and
Hours to trip in the primitive ooze of repetition
Hours to catch up or trade for spare minutes,
Hours with eyes only half aware
Of life and its warnings,
Lifeless and blissless...

Goodnight to the soul in silent,
Hi,to my sometime to come friend.

But death will have no meaning
But a...

Just or unjust, they do as they must
The secretive sect of ANON
They live in a world, where truths are unfurled 
Where justice is served, not undone
Just kids on a quest, to make their world the...

Just what Dreamer needs to write her hubub:

Why Poets Write


Why do poets write?,
Why does the moon shine at night?.
Why does water fall with such grace?,
Why is a rainbow such a beautiful sight?

So, why do poets write?
Do they write because the moon shines...

Blind and numb like death 
dispenser of cudinatis, enemy of 
the masses of mascara! 
Made possible by holy 
wizardry not in white Man's land
but within the enclave of black sentiment!
golden fleece released by mental ingenuity

The unsung heroes of the open plains
The outlaw bandits like Jesse James 

Cut throat thieves and black jack hustlers 
Green horn Cowboys and long horn rustlers 

They all stood the Cowboys test

Deceit and duplicity, vengeance and vanity
Exploit our weaknesses and dissipate our souls’ strength
As arrogance cockroaches multiply their insanity
We diminish the strength of our faith 

The more we immerse ourselves in new technologies
Stung by advances in...

Today I will write about stars-
Not the usual
Compressed galactic-gleams,
Not the speckling
In deep sky seen,
Tracked and charted
By singular-minded, bright-eyed teams-

No-I will speak of Real Stars,
Day and night stars-
Eternal Stars
Never growing dim,
Burning brightly
From star-dust within-
Not a glow...

salty blues
and Saturday’s news
begs the difference between
the candlelit alters
and the sunlit corners

where the timid mingle
with insane masses
of different classes
and intellectual
solace
is revealed in song

the rhythm of 
empty bucket drummers
sets the pace of the 
blind blues hummers
and...

I have seen the black face of his Kenyan father
With whom he didn’t go farther:
an absolutely Black Papa

His loudest trumpets for Jomo,

I failed to comment
on wonderful poems,
but they deserved a response
from me with many wishes sent!

for the hesitation and delay on my part,
nothing pleases me more than reading a fine poem

On Hollywood Boulevard

Grohman’s Chinese theater, The Walk Of Fame
Awestruck, frantic crowds tromp down the street
A swirl of accents divulge from whence they came
Myth and stark truth clash but rarely meet

A boulevard of tinsel, tourist mecca...
