Peace For Blacks

Hello, I come to speak of peace,
The kind which saves the mind from deviation.
To give life to dead instincts,
For the lost throne belonging to black men is found.
Let the whole world come to hear this...

The Air We Breathe

The Air We Breathe

Whatever death hides in the dark forest?
The Man attentive to death-defying chances
with sinister low sweeping branches, strong
confused as to the hierarchical level
upon which their outreached strengths belong 
hurries along

Beautifully poisonous trees 
Gnarled...

The Odyssey of We Are Centre

"The Odyssey of We are Centre"



Where does he come through 
with his fishing lines?
Casting off metaphors
worms of vitriol
hooked and dipped,
he’s so green backed  
rolling in grandiose 
self published flack
unhip and seasoned 
with his tart...

And There were Three

Three faceless Misses
amble amidst vagarious March rains
under parasols / veiled in the anonymity of death/burial 

Three / shifting between tangible lives
breathless bellies barely acclimated to first-life
Brown girls who were shadows before second death

Voiceless / ambassadors...

Nuremburg Notation

When ruling orders are given,
subordinates must make it so
If they are evil decisions,
then lesser ranks should not yield their integrity
They should have enough moral fortitude to say no
A Jezebel justification
is an ancient war crime against...

Remains of Eternity (Scenes From Above)

I saw you at the front of the steps 
I simply smiled and you said 
"There's nothing left" 
You seemed astonished 
But then again I promised
Open your eyes and take note 
Beneath the ash, soot,...

He Is Supreme

I have been alone in the stony dark
Worldly deluded and in cycle wondering
I have been walking in the thorny path
Weakly and in unprofitable wandering
 
But today the lord is my light and my salvation
In Him...

Hoosier Farmer

Like his fathers before him, he was a tiller of the soil.
He loved the old farmstead that was built with sweat and toil.
He farmed with Clydesdale horse and cantankerous mules,
A sickle bladed mower, sulky plows...

My Spiritual Freedom

A worthless worm…writhing in wretchedness
Hell-bound creature because of iniquities
That was I: doomed to everlasting torment
Condemned to suffer forever…
Yet, God Almighty with His grace and compassion 
Reached down to me wondrously…
…He lifted me up from sins’...

Eppur Si Muove

(As Galileo left the session of the Inquisition
at which he had been forced to deny his own
discovery that the earth orbited the sun, and
had to "admit" that the earth was static, he
murmured, "eppur si muove"...

If Death Came Knocking

if only death would come 
knocking
when it needed to be paid
attention to,
when its reality & inevitability
could solve so very many
fruitless & futile arguments
which rip & tear up
loving relationships,
families that normally stick 
together &
warm friendships gone...

What To Do Do About Those Under the Table

What to do about those under the table?
When those paying them are unable,
And have gone back to their scrabble.

Should we be worried they might become unstable,
When a constable is to us unreachable.

If an amnesty was...

Plucking Poisons From My Mind

Pessimism, I loathe your gloomy effect
Parroting vanity’s vexation in my mind that I’m unprofitable…
God I thank; by His strength* is great achievement as I do my utmost.

Negativism, I vanquish your vehement accusations
Taunting me of my...

Doubledged Prophets

In prophecy
we often fixate 
on time's unprofitable passage,
on degenerative change
on long-neglected reform
on our need to redeem our time
now past.

Yet this notice of opportunities and risks
for future climates of pathology and health
is surrounded by an implicit...

Eternal Breath

Subtle ineffable feelings of affection and solicitude,
Amorous as like swallow's ,
Ephemeral and unavoidable,
Too much like water of deep stream.

Throwing myself into love like suicide into river,
You entered into my life like a miracle,
Like a misty...

Stalemate

We became blind to His love for us
Failing to honor Him in our worship
His choices now offend us
And our offerings now offend Him
Our hearts refuse to take Him in
So, we go through the motions

My Place In History

I thought of emotion. I thought of desire.
What of that, you say?
Plan as we may for what is to come,
it does not exist, has not, will not.

And there is the only significance

My Beloved Sweetheart

Affection and solicitude
rises in my eyes,
shaped into tears
as fresh as dew,
she was first and new,

lays calm and motionless
touch lost, ways parted,
Best of moments passed
as a flash of light,
an absolutely unprofitable life,

Rosy cheeks,
glittery eyes,
knee long silky...

Vicissitude

The man looked at the unprofitable world
  Then decided it was no place for him,
  Toughen up his mind to go, to a fool's paradise;
  Twined his neck in rope to heaven,

Compelled 
David J Walker

The sad part of this obsession is
Knowing how unprofitable it will always be

Confessions of the soul count for nothing

feast with orphans

another ceasefire
another ceasefire
it won't last long
it'll hold until 
weapons are replenished
wounds are patched
the tongues
of the blood puppets
are refreshed
another ceasefire
another ceasefire
it won't last long
neither side thinks
that the other belongs

if there is a god
then we're all god's...
