a prominent sadness
painted my bluest days
clouded by your absence
my skies turned every shade of gray
" But such is the way of the hood
where everything's misunderstood
there is an Missouri man who never seen a black squirrel he now lives in Omaha
There are Undercover dark brown ninja following ya
future millionaires in Harlem beg steal and barter
Blessed are riddled soiled dirty sheets
In the winter time burning rubbish and old metal trash can to retain the Heat
O' is the beauty of tangential creamy beige centipede
Consciously running barefooted with many feet complete
The infrastructure chuck holes such a treat
Run Johnnie run Cheryl's Sarah got a gun
What's what's why you run
In the urban ghettos rats and roaches harmony promenade pigeons fight with bats at night so docile they play
But such is the way
of the hood
where everything's misunderstood"

We the People,
time is swiftly to come,
as we continue to perish
for rejecting knowledge,
that belongs to earth youth.
There are greater mysteries
within the heart of man,
which he will never know
until his star has lost it brilliancy.
Man, woman, and child is a star
restraint to their bodies,
longing to be free
from pain,
sorrow,
grief,
suffering,
depression,
suicidal,
poverty,
rape,
torture,
and mistreated.
As the soul enters
back into the cycle of time
it gets a glimpse
of it future death.
Screaming,
pleading,
and forcible,
the soul is ejected
back within the uterus
as being present,
until it sound is called.
A powerful hunter, of varied species
Watchfully gazing, they perch on high
Eyesight of excellence, strong hooked beak
Awaiting your prey, vultures, a splendid relation
Incredible wingspan, as they take flight
Found near water, perched on feathered legs
Fish a-plenty, hunting ground
Boot, harpy, snake, fish and sea
Of four divisions so they belong
Rainforests, deserts, coasts thy be found
Of almost every habitat
Foraging for food
Make way to the nest
Eyries of the ledge, frequently of the trees
Align thy grass, twigs and leaves
Display a valid courtship
Allocate thy mate
Somersault with might and weight
Protect thine eggs, chicks will hatch
Be guarded, vulnerability be aware
Return thy food, to motherly shelter
Protect from snakes, ravens, racoons
Promote survival, train thy young
Eagle calls across thy territory
Attention thus occupied
With wings outstretched
Take thy stand

Prominent and Dominant
Plans exits that are prominent
Central in mind did become dominant
Found them to be enchanting
Several more seeds were planting
Demands to be planted were eminent.

They just keep on flowing. Hard to take
my eyes off of the TV. How about you?
Unknown
Truth
Revealed
To cramp
To sap
My delicate heart
To get ever

With
Tears
Awesome
Appraisal
To ruin...
My dreams
Apt to form
An aquarium
But with
Blind
Fishes.......
They were prominent days,
Guided with a traditional excellence.
Athletically exceptional and parallel,
As a man and a woman.
Silent partners of intellect,
Corresponding in languages that their friends wouldn't comprehend.
God's stern kingdom,
Complex and diversified.
They were an on screen romance,
Waiting for God's moment.
Choosing education as a companion,
Surpassing Romeo and Juliet.
Reaching for God's rainbow,
A step away from eternity together.
God's complex universe their home,
A divine destiny embraced with a silent friendship.

Prominent figures,
where have they all gone????
Are they on vacation????
will they ever return????
What ever happen to Malcom, Martin, Sojourner,and Ghandi??? too.
The way of the world,
leaves me puzzled,
confused.
