Unsung on the world stage
Heroes of the African continent
Diverse lingo, diverse souls
Capture minds capture hearts

Music unconventional
Yet heavily intoxicating

they sing and shout enjoying freedom they never accounted for

knowing not the pain the ones before suffered so they may gain

Ignorant of the blood stained walls they pass as they...

dad you unrolled the hose in the late afternoon
when venus slips by the moon,
fresh water for cemetery cypress,
green monster in the middle of the yard,
then I see you smoking carelessly among the plants,

I tied a hangman's noose
Within the womb
Around my neck was slung
And from those gallows swung.

I was six days late
The pressure wouldn’t abate

Foreshadowing how I’d feel
Writing this at...

Feeling calm or full of anger

Done in good will...

I'm going to still be a trailblazer

Going beyond all the acres
And glaciers

Above and below any crater 

Similarities and differences on both sides of the equator

Events turning out minor and major

Waters with and without crocodiles or...

You came as a spawning tornado
And turned my world upside down
Sometimes I was the trailblazer
Sometimes you wore that crown.

You were my redeemer as well

Rousing riverfront raid;
Young yonder years yielding,
Prosperous peace prancing;

Instruct inbound inklings,
Outline obvious oozing,
Niche nice new nurturing...

Wings of satin about to take flight 
like some Space Oddity
searching for a bit of life.

which entered my house as a vinyl cover.
You flirt around...

Blackened. Charred.
Are the blossoms of autumn's acclaimed abundance
No longer dance they in vivid wonderance,
Singed by the frigid frost,
Stand they forlorn and lost.

Barren. Desolate.

Marooned in an island of dry leaves.
Wracked by glacial winds
As deep...
