Bleach Stained Memories

Such a common smell

Used in places all over

Restaurants to grocery stores to schools to bathrooms

a smell this clean cant make me feel so gross


Kills 99.9% of viruses & bacteria

Kills the germs left from my stomach surrendering its contents

Huddled over and in pain

a smell this clean cant make me feel so gross


I was always sick as a kid

Never eating yet losing my lunch

Peppermint oil that never worked to keep my stomach at bay

All the home remedies and medical ones yet it still happened


I had my own friend, Ralph, my own bucket

My only friend in my time of need

Forever stained by the clean, slightly medicinal smell


It hits me like a slap

Cold and biting against my senses

The clean, too clean, aroma

a smell this clean cant make me feel so gross


I smell it all the time

Away from the small cluttered bathroom

Away from the hands holding my hair and rubbing my back

All away from my longest friend


A reminder for all i've overcome

A smell, haunting me, just trying to help others

It did not meant to live in my senses yet here it is

a smell this clean makes me feel so gross

Top Secret

My bathroom isn’t big enough
For boxes filled with files,
Though someone’s bathroom we all know
Has cartons stacked in piles.

The government’s top secrets
Share a space, perhaps, with Charmin,
Or Renuzit, Dove or Lysol,
All incredibly alarmin.’

For the guests at Mar-a-Largo,
If a bathroom they were needing,
We must hope they didn’t poke around
In search of some light reading.

Deep Peep Rhyme Time

Guessing I’m just another white rapper?
This isn’t just another pale mouth flapper. 
The rhymes are cleaner than Lysol Purrell. 
Sharing hidden stories usually a hard sell. 

Dripping with substance and soaking wet. 
Assume I’m a nobody since we never met. 
Hitting it as deep as the Mariana Trench. 
Not fanboying the pros from the bench. 

So I’ll rap on topics others won’t touch. 
Building an archive showing out much. 
Crafting lines for various organizations. 
By getting a taste of their inspirations. 

For companies competing on Wall Street.
And groups helping people mentally beat. 
Not selling out and dressing like a poser.
If tasked with flow to script I’m a closer. 

Writing hot flows not bringing the dough. 
But educating to get people in the know. 
Saving lives and making people care. 
Shedding light so they become aware. 

But rap isn’t to bragging about the writer. 
It’s to show passion being a cause fighter. 
So if you’re burnt out hearing shallow fluff. 
Read my lines for the real insightful stuff.

Love Money and Marriage

Loves complicated
seems we neglect details
keep each other feelings in perspective
sorting through details
getting it right
making it last
complimenting one another
meaning everything we say
in regards to one anothers feelings
we put our pride away
settling down
doesn't mean settling for anything
Love , money and marriage
means respecting
what the other needs
I aint gonna be
She won't let me
Baby, Baby
what we gon' do
Getting it right
making it past
those stumbling block
where we can't see through
getting rid of friends
looking to the end
priorities
and needs known
Love, Money and Marriage
Love, money and Marriage
can't get this
gotta save for that
fix it right
where are my tools at
gotta slow down
on certain things
some people like
undermining things

The Virus

Began so promising
As thoughts of a new year approached
Some called it a year of new beginnings and clarity
That 20/20 vision of sorts

Unknown and foreign
You found your origins in a faraway land
Yet soon enough, you would break the barriers of
Race, class, religion, and international borders
YEAH!  You’re indiscriminate

Lock down, shut down and shortages
A daily struggle we endured
The knowledge of your existence, coupled with fear
Put the world on notice that we were in control of NOTHING

You wrestled even the healthiest to their breaking point
Them now depending on machines to inhale and exhale
You took the weakest and oldest, showing no mercy
Masks, gloves, tissue, sanitizer; even Lysol and Clorox
Became luxury items

Almost two years later
Vaccinations, side effects and still, MASKS
Are a daily reminder that
Covid made it’s way to every point of the world

And still; we are in control of NOTHING

Ode For a Deflated Wife

Gather her up
with rubber gloves and Lysol.
Toss her gently on a bed of roses.
Yank her light switch,
immerse blues in soft sell.
Whisper of wealth yet to come,
encourage with chocolates,
agree to die first;
love her back to roundness.

My New Assignments

I have been incredibly unwelcomed at my new position.
As a guidance counselor at a grade school one day a week.
This was told to me yesterday by the other counselor…
You have bus duty first thing in the morning.
At nine-fifteen you can help deep clean the loos.
What about my counseling classes I ask?
You will probably have to cancel those, she tells me.
I put on my favorite pink walking shoes and begin following her.
Here is Lysol, gloves, and sponges, she says. 
We want you to wipe down the playground hourly.
As you may have guessed by now, my teaching partner is a peach.
She has also signed me up to do five lunch duties.
They start at 10:30 and end at 2:45.
I stare at her, incredulous.
How many duties do you have?
None now, she smirks. I have you!

Toxic Relationships

Sorry, mom says I can’t 
kiss you - even with grape,
Lysol, safety lipstick  =/

Harsh pandemic facts 
and parents stand against us. 
What a hazardous waste!

Trump's Hoax

The virus will fade in the summer heat.
It's Trumps hoax folks - it’s a joke folks.

Drink your Lysol and get back on the street.
Look, it’s a hoax folks - it’s a joke folks.

We can trade those masks in for some caskets
Yes, it’s a hoax folks - you’ll be ok folks.

Send your kids to school - some will die, but that’s cool.
This is no hoax folks - some kids will die folks.

Or they’ll bring the virus right back to you.
Safety’s a joke folks - do the republican choke folks.

The average bill for ICU care - is 20K folks
chump change folks - just pay the man, folks

One Hundred and Fifty Thousand dead
But vote for Trump folks - if your alive folks

The Mistake

On Twitter, late at night, you’re a big tough guy
calling people out and spitting in their eyes.

But in the real world - you blubber and you blunder,
like inside your head there’s a fire in the dumpster.

Your call to drink Lysol was a typical, deadly, Trump proffer -
your handling of the pandemic an incompetent slaughter.

In the face of unrest you pour fuel on the fire -
a dead BLACK man? You're a trouble amplifier.

Texting on Twitter you’re a liar and a punk -
when trouble breaks out, you hunker in a bunker.

You’re America’s undertaker, our commander-and-thief -
a living, breathing catastrophe - leading America disastrously.

100,000 and Counting

American healthcare is a joke
Government play on too many folk
Those who can't pay
Die everyday
Whilst Trump switches from Lysol to Coke

Now Wash Your Hands

Hands across the pond to the NPR,
When you give power to the truth
It's a beacon from afar,
We've got a message from the UK
Coming at you, forsooth,
So now feel me when I say,
From the Morning Edition
Get Embedded every day,
When All Things Are Considered,
We need to hear what you've go to say,
Keep the Tiny Desk running hot,
Got to love those funky, fresh, sounds 
Don't let Trump's lies go unchallenged
Fact check them down to the ground,
Fake news, fake flues or 'inject yourself with Lysol'!
The only cure for tyrrany
Is not to tolerate it, people
So.......
Don't let the WackaDood
Give you any Other Smother,
The Republic will survive, I pray,
If you respect each other.

Lysol Calling

The whole world is laughing at Trump
Whose thoughts seem to come from his rump
Disinfectant swill
Gave the world a chill
But clearly proved Trump is a chump!

5g

1G, 2G, 3G, 4!
Keep the wheel spinning
We have to have more, more, more!

GENERATIONS, GENERATIONS, give us more, I say
How about 5?
This is what we need: fast, faster, fastest
Ooooh! Now we are alive!

More ready access for swift swiping
One through four were great but 5 is living

Dead to the incontestable reality
Just an illusion, all this fancy glossed over technology

Old and watered down, just mere reflections of Ancient Kemet
Now, what is all the hoopla for when health is compromised and 
COVID-19 is in it?

Birds and bees sucker punched and disoriented with 3 and 4
Now, man is practicing social distancing because of ignorance and a want—what an evil conjuring like never before

MADNESS, MADNESS spinning all around
From China to Italy and America, no tissue, Lysol or Doritos can be found

STOP! Unplug from this insidious darkness
AWAKEN! Plug into sweet luminousness

Virus

Like orbs from other galaxies 
They float 
Clutching at air to scout out
Another host 
An unwelcome visit
Vulture like 
And unforgiving,
Photos etched into memories 
Appear moment by moment,
The internet engraves
The virus 
Into the minds of all...
And now we ponder 
Supreme inevitability 
As we wipe the grocery stores clean,
Buffering 
Against what is to come
Waiting behind Lysol scrubbed doorknobs 
As yesterday’s hum of humanity 
Becomes a new sound of silence.
