My Plea

I'm making this plea for your love to return
This is a hard lesson I had to learn.
I learned a woman like you, is a precious jewel
Meant to be tresured, not meant to be ruled.
I tried to change you & did not suceed 
Because you were perfect as you were & exactly what I need.
You tried to show love & I did not recieve it
You said you would leave me & I chose not to believe it. 
I thought you'd always be here & you'd never go away
My ego told me don't worry, she'll be here, she'll stay.
But I was wrong, you left & took my heart with you
Now I'm lonely & sad now each day I miss you. 
I sit here so lonely, broken & scared
Because I didn't say I Love You & acted as if I didn't care.
You wanted a man to love you & ADORE you
I didn't take heed & chose to ignore you.
You wanted love, affection & a little of my time
I didn't do those thing, because my time was mine.
You wanted a man to love God as you you do
I didn't make time for that, now we are through.
Now I pray to the  same God, you tried to lead me to
Begging & pleading him to give me back my love that was so true.
I ask him to please return My Leesah back to me
But he ignores me like I did him & doesn't hear my plea.
All I need is just one more chance
To prove my love, another shot at romance.
Being without My Leesah is an unbearable pain
My heart is heavy, I wonder if it could take this strain.
I can't take the misery nor the loneliness too
My heart is on fire, I have no idea what to do.
I can't bear losing you, it's hard to be alone
This plea is is my last effort, please come home.
I can't bear the pain & the hurt is so great
I just hope & pray that my plea is not too late
I lost my lover, my wife Leesah, my soulmate.
I'll love you the way a man is supposed to
My heart will be open & never closed to you.
I'll never ignore you or take you for granted
A new seed of love in my heart will be planted.
Things will be better than ever, I know this for sure
My love will be HONEST, real & oh so pure.
I'll love you with every inch of my heart & I will never desert you
I'll always cherish your love & never again hurt you.
This is my promise as God as my witness
I ruined our union & I beg for forgiveness. 
Leesah I'm sorry for all the pain I caused
Believe me when I say
Come back to me & I'll love you better than ever
Each & everyday.
Leesah I Love You!

Real Talk

I don’t know what the problem is

But one thing I can say

We need to get it together

In the very best way

It doesn’t make any sense

That lives are being taken

For idiotic reasons

Killers in the making

How can you speak to your Mother

In such a nasty tone

Having no type of respect

While living in her home

Don’t allow him to degrade you

Make you feel smaller than life

I don’t care if there was a ceremony

And you are his wife

Don’t let her walk all over you

Think she has a fool 

Stand up and take charge

But never loose your cool

Don’t let people abuse you

Take things like a grain of salt

If you never stand up for yourself

You’ll continue to get got

Have some self-respect

Pull your pants up off your behind

Act like you have some sense

Because the clock doesn’t rewind

Cover up your assets

Stop walking around with little to nothing on

Have some class about yourself

I don’t understand what’s going on

How many young people

Own a library card

Knowledge is Power

Have some regard

For the older people

Who you cuss in front of on the bus

Smooth out your edges

Stop trying to be so tough

Be your own individual

Stop having such a bad attitude

It can hinder you

From reaching your latitude

Life will teach you many lessons

So be a kid while you can

Enjoy the burdens you don’t have

That you will when you become a woman and a man

Stop killing each other

Shooting guns for fun

Taking people’s lives

Mothers, Fathers, Daughters and Sons

Get your education

Make something of your life

Don’t keep holding up the block

From sun up to moon light

Stop having babies

Just to keep a guy

Most of you now realize

What he said was a lie

Thought he would stick around

Help you raise your child

He’s really still sowing his oats

Out there in the wild

Take the talents that you have

Drawing, singing, rapping, and more

Turn things into a positive

Allow your talents to soar

Don’t be so negative about things

Your output becomes your return

All of your experiences

Are lessons for you to learn

Take heed to what the old folks say

They know what they are speaking about

Don’t be so quick to judge their words

Because they are schooling you

And this is Real Talk

Purpose

As I wake up each morning I look to the sky, I look all around me, I wonder how, I wonder why? Why is the sky so blue, why is the grass so green? With colors so vivid, are things truly as they seem? I mean, did all this just happen, or is it all part of a plan? When I look at all the big powerful beasts of the world, I wonder, why is everything under fragile man?

Then I listen to people who tell me how to live, and it do sound good, then they make wonder, if they know so much, why are they still stuck in the hood? Now on T.V. and radio, I hear them say, do whatever you feel because there's nothing to life anyway. You live, you die, do whatever you can to get your piece of the pie. But that don't make sense because whatever you do has consequence.

So do live the way of men, or is there a thing called sin, cause life has let us know, that you will reap what you sow. Is that Divine sense, or is it coincidence? You see I've heard the big bang, an explosion in space, it made galaxies, planets and ultimately all life, even the human race. But here's another theory, we come from apes. No, I got the scoop, primordial soup, all life came from some kind of goop, which sounds like poop.

And here's one that makes me leery, string theory. I look at all there theory at it's best, but ins't a theory, just a guess? Science looks good on the surface but if you look deeper, you'll see everything has a purpose. Everything is connected one to another and you can plainly see, we really need each other. Then we could stop all the suffering, and we all know that nothing comes from nothing.

Whether it's a seed and the plant, the egg and the chicken or a baby from a man and his wife, Life Comes From Life. If you want to learn, whether to build something, or even to cook, everything comes with an instruction book. We also come with a book, which we need to read and take heed. So you are not here to flaunt your wealth, look down on people, are to have all fun. There is a purpose, a Divine reason.

You see, this life is just to get us prepped to take the next step. Each time I look into the sky, I don't know what you see, I see, Infinity. So I read my book, which tell me how things are going to end. It even tell me how things began. I want In. So live your life right for this is a must and at the end you will see a Glorious and Divine Purpose.

The Prophetess By the Wall

Take heed where you receive your prophecy                                                                   One may call herself a prophetess only to miss                                                              only she is the self-fulfilled sealed by her own prodigy                                                     to kill true prophets to take what is thine your bliss                                                           Like Jezebel all dressed up with nothing to show                                                             to take the life of others while she threatens to take all                                                     Painted scarlet with silken tongue only the veneer of divine gold                                    * *                                                                                                                           By the true God and His prophets the words that came to pass                                           The place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood                            for her whoredom and witchcrafts the land had no peace was alas                                      Jehu rode under her window not as her Romeo to pine for her love                                     with the words who is with me the eunuchs by her bed                                                  Her writing sprinkled on the wall as Jehu’s stead stood tall                                                not swayed by her fleshly desires through Jezebel to her death                                 *                                             *                                                                      The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel by the Word of Lord                                   Jehu celebrates the call but compassion for she was a king's daughter                                Go bury the woman accursed but no rest for the wicked ward                                           for the false bread will never profit nor tread upon the true waters                                 The skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands is all that was found
The Sprit of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy so I do pray you heed His call                    prophesying from your own heart will end like Jezebel’s gnawed by hounds

Chosen

I was chosen before my time.
Listen very close this is not just a rhyme.
My life was known before I was born yet,
Time had to come around the horn.
Now I am here with a job to do,
Part of my job is to watch over you.
Yes I am a keeper and I must be kept,
For another brother’s died while I have slept.
The poison metal pipes are going around,
Flowing in, flowing out and all around town.
Earning a day’s wages and still in need,
Then the poison metal pipes help kill a seed.
We’ve been accused for doing most of the wrong,
And if we’re not careful, we’ll believe all the long.
In the midst of it all, others round about me fall,
STILL, I am destined to answer my call.
My call is from above to both young and old,
So what I am telling you, I am only being told.
By  one most know of, and they may know OF Him well,
But its not enough to know of,
THAT’S THE REASON WHY OTHERS FELL!!!
You see I owe you as a brother, and I owe Him as a Father
So I am here for Him, and there’s really no bother.
I will do what I’ve been destined to, this I know is right.
During the morning, during the evening, and into the night.
I’ve been called, picked out, with a mission ahead.


And if you don’t take heed, you may wind up dead.
You see, dead is being more than without a beat,
It is also being held under another’s feet.
Not thinking for yourself, influenced by the WRONG others,
Persuaded by some BOYS, and then, becoming mothers.
Not following the wisdom of our parents from old,
Not wanting to take heed to what we are told.
We are leaders by nature and 
We can’t help this,
Still the way some of us are leading,
Others will never reach this bliss.
You can not be a leader less you have someone to follow,
But whom can you lead, the strong or the hollow.
We do not have long in this earthly place,
Yet its not about the color, the gender or the race.
Its about being a soldier and the chain of command,
The torch has now been put into my own hands.
You see they’re many torches, all in the hands of the same,
Strong minds, strong willed with the backup of 
“THE NAME”
The end is soon to come so I must go now,
But you have already been chosen for right here and now.
You are the next leaders, I would give it some thought,
Because you have not only been “CHOSEN”, but;
You’ve also been 

BOUGHT !!!

Pictured and Captured Memories

Effortlessly now as we battle the darkest battle with those known as the greatest powers
The race is not won by the stronger or swifter, have you ever heard of the one who is called The Deliverer
God has handed the poor man a  plot out of poverty, And He has heard the cry of the widow
And the young girl who cries out for vengeance, an Angel tells her, it is the Lord who fights your enemies
So before you come to This place swollen with pride and drunken on your plans for my future misery
Disguised is a blue ninja inside these pictured and captured memories
Defiantly freed for a lifetime and completely treating this as a matter of discretion
Undeserving of nothing, worthy friends are not really what I call my friends at all its unlikely
Because their boast of loyalty is like false fronts and I come up behind them and say why even comment
For it is your words that betray you and despite the lip service that you give me when you preach to me forgiveness
It is not my way to condemn you as judges do when they sentence you for the rest of your lifetime in hell
No I’m like come to a conclusion do away with your false views of me
Land on this solid ground step away from that place all they’ll do is sacrifice you to save themselves
A wrath has descended like storms of destruction the forces are darker than lights when they blackout
The forest is creeping with every creature that is pulled into a place of safety and hiding
Broken arrowheads poisoned with venom are crying out all I need now is a target
Sonic boom sound breaker is broken and long forgotten frozen and composed in music that throws it
Children here the voice of reason, Men are full of deceit and crafty because they are from the devil
Teachers please come and listen for you will teach well after you hear the voice of the Master
Beware! Take heed do not be greedy for a mans life is not consisted of material possessions
By your patience possess your souls, It is expedient that I leave you and go to be with the Father
Because then I will send you the Spirit of comfort and he will bring all these things into remembrance
Lo I am with you all the way to the ends of the earth, and be watchful because no one knows the hour
Not me nor the Angels in Heaven, that time is only known by the Father
And when I say Watch, WATCH! Because I come as a thief in the night!

Drunk In Self

Duet between Omodele Oluwabunmi and Wems Henry Temmy speaks... cautiously 

OmO
Mother, I forget not thy words
When I was a score and half a dozen
“My daughter, let your heart hold my teaching "
But my heart was weak; as time flies, it holds it not.
Then, the forest seems to be the road in my  sight.

WHT
Please, be not mad to treat me like bastards 
For how long shall we keep fussing...? 
When no one wants to hear my heart breathing 
Nor the running of tears so hot, 
Though my acts are impolite. 

OmO
Father, I remembered those five words
“receive instruction in wise dealing"
But my ears were on strike then
So it hear you not 
For the dog that will lost won't hear the whistle of the hunter.

WHT 
Teachers' blood may deny the nerds 
But ethics will break the limit of advancing 
Into making classroom turns Bullpen 
Where no one fears swat 
Meanwhile, each had become an adapter 

OmO
I grew older to become foolish
The mouths that brought me up smell to me
The words that comes from it
Become the dirt I washed away
I become a foolish daughter of a wise parents

WHT
In my wisest choice, decision grows childish 
Yet, can not change the mindset not to be 
The box that harbor things just to fit 
Into the folder of a permeable Cache 
Like reasonable pride of deviants 

OmO
I disowned the advice of my parents
Then adopted the advice of friends
My heart released the advice of my parents
But breathe in the advice of friends.

WHT 
That in peers influence, I grew wings dissident 
Beyond what an external check can blend 
And with time; in tease, am an entrant 
Watching how well I can teach myself as a docent 

OmO
Now, my life is crashing,
And my friends are laughing at my calamity
Tears become my daily food
With no one to take away my tears.

WHT 
For all I tried trashing 
To shape life's conformity 
Till all turned to be good
Only stress cure lane to gear repairs 

OmO
Let the tears of the foolish daughter,
Flow round the world
Not to add more water to the rivers
But to teach the young ones lesson

WHT 
And chase the  wayward away from traps of the slaughters 
With regards to take heed when situations whirled 
What more are pro. drivers
If license and experiences don't winks when speed is to be lessen

Signs of the Time

Take a good look around

Tell me what do you see

Is this the future?

Of our society


So much evil

So much wrong

So much deceit

Cheating our elderly out of their homes


Young people being shot

While walking down the street

So many killings

And what is the reason?


Some say what goes around comes around

And this most certainly is true

But does that give someone the right

To fatally harm you?


The Bible says there will be a time

When you cannot tell the seasons

Natural disasters in unusual months

Now tell me if you believe it


It also says in Revelation

You won’t be able to tell the men from the women

And the women from the men

This most definitely is a fact we are seeing


Global warming

All over the world

Take heed to what you see

Hold tight to the ones you love


Father against Son

Brother against Brother

A war of the worlds

And so much more is coming


Plagues all around

Nation throughout Nation

Killing off millions

So much devastation


Diseases with no cure

More and more are being infected

Like a lethal dose

Of death being injected


People don’t want to take heed

To the messages being spoken

Families being destroyed

Torn apart and broken


Romans 8:31 – "If God Be For You, Who Then Shall Be Against You?"

Is one of my favorite scriptures

It gives me hope and faith, even peace

The words are a vision of a perfect picture


God makes no mistakes

He is the creator of all

Just as he lifts you up

Sometimes he lets you fall


When you are down

You have no place to look but up

God enjoys your communication with him

Through the smooth and the rough


See, he allows you stumble

Yet helps you find your way

And he appreciates

The time you take out to pray


There are many things that will happen

Before this world as we know it will end

I encourage you

To allow Jesus to be your friend


My prayer for those who read this poem

Is that the message resonates and stays on your mind

Jesus is coming back, prepare yourself

Because we are living through the signs of the time

Yolanda Jackson

A Mothers Grief, Rage and Quest

Rage, despair, grief, devastation and regret, flowing like 
hot lava spewing out from a volcano through my veins,
pushing out my red hot blood onto this white leaf;
For suddenly and without any fair warning came,
an enormous black cloud that stationed itself overhead and
obstructed the sun from my first redwood seed in sprout 
and with a great fury it released a violent torrent of rain, 
drenching it completely, until alas my sapling did drown. 

My budding redwood tree, destroyed before its time,
the damage is irrevocable and my sapling is no more.
Like a cannon ball shot from its cannon, fire shoots
from my mouth with all fierceness and in rage I roar….
“Who really is to blame for this unfathomable demise of
my precious sapling, my budding grand redwood tree?
Was it the black cloud with its tools of destruction or
the lack of assiduousness of those with their expertise?”

Yes, regretfully my sapling was not planted by the stream.
As a seed, in ignorance it was sown upon soil rocky and dry;
yet against all odds, my seed sprouted with some foliage,
but its roots did not run deep and so with the specialist I relied
to care and strengthen it so it could withstand the bad elements.
Sadly, they were specialists with an expert eye that could not see,
they were worthless and of no avail, lacking the assiduity needed,
for their eyes, mind and heart were blinded by their own greed.

Rage, despair, grief, devastation and regret, flowing like
hot lava spewing out from a volcano through my veins,
pushing out my red hot blood onto this white leaf.
For the black cloud is now set above me like a fixed stain,
with all might I struggle to escape it’s dreadful grip, but
still it hovers over me obstructing the sun from my days,
releasing a torrent of pain and in the agony of my loss it 
drenches me and the answers to my questions are still opaque.
Oh...but take heed all you with your degree, my roots run deep, 
I will not drown and like a raging bull I push forward so valiantly
for the lucidity of the answers, lucid as a glass made of crystal;
all for the love of my departed budding grand redwood tree.
