Goodbyes
I remembered what you did to me in the past
You caused me to shatter like glass
I lost myself trying to stay freinds with you
I played the wrong cards now I've got permanent scars
You want me to forgive you for what you did
You took everything to far with no regards
I put you first so

SUMMER RAIN
SUMMER RAIN
God cried today
His tears fertilizing
The womb of
Mother Earth:
The wet smell
Of nature’s essence
Saturated the air
As moist breeze blew
Breath of new life
Into dried hopes
Wilted in despair:-
The rainy season
Of life has begun:
Maybe love’s peace
Will hollow her footprints
In the canvassing mud:-

1993
A generation to ask why.
Peaked and taught a world is nothing but themselves, not even to be.
Occupying nothing but digital spaces offered to prior persons and parentage.
From here, where are we to go?
The highest minds have none to say.
If they did this, it wouldn't be.
The hardest working have no say.
If they did, ketamine-soaked South Africans,
wouldn't

A MATHEMATICAL PERSPECTIVE OF JUNETEENTH
A MATHEMATICAL PERSPECTIVE OF JUNETEENTH
(Apropos of 1619 To 2025)
In the proud history of Virginia,
1619 was a significant year
In relating to the beginning
Of slavery in the United States.
It has been revealed, however,
That there were slaves present
In the country long before:-
It’s documented that in the year

The Truth is Always in the Middle
The truth is always in the middle
guarded on both flanks
It might stun so much should it escape
we might as well give thanks

They Wanted an A-Bomb
For 46 years - prideful and hateful
Wrath, envy, spreading the net
Building an A-Bomb, a decision fateful
A sword to be held, like eternal threat
Destruction, murder, elimination
Iran, to wipe Israel off the map
A sordid task for the whole nation
Stubborn threats, boasts, contempt
It was their purpose, the goal, the aim
To end every Jew on planet Earth
Fanned hot
