A Story Sketched by StarsThe stars of heaven a story tell,
as on the canvas of the sky
with pictures, bold and intricate,
each night they speak without a word.
Ancient stargazers sketched the signs
that God arranged among the stars.
They traced the circuit of the sun
as it traverses through the TWELVE.
The signs presaged the birth of One
Who would succeed where Adam failed,
by crushing...

Rafah
I hear voices in my head,
I touch pain
On every television
Except the typical symbols
Of hegemony
Except in a white building
Miles and miles away,
I touch pain!
For every leaf that falls,
Swallowed by the burning hell
From the mighty birds
Of weird names F 16, F 35...
I hear these voices,
We hear these voices -
Miles away, node in unison,
"The world...

Spiritual SuicideBlack man, do you remember who you are?
Before temples were carved from stone,
before books whispered borrowed truths,
you were already divine.
You walked with spirit, not religion.
You read the stars and the rivers,
you spoke to the wind and it answered,
you heard God in the thunder and
saw His face in the lion’s gaze.
But now—
You kneel before foreign names.
You...

CAN I COME BACK HOME?It’s never too late
to pause the chase
to stop running like a mad dog
after a world that never turns back.
It’s never too late
to stand in the open sun
after years of hiding in shadows
to finally thirst for the light.
It’s never too late
to shed the robe of shame
to return to the road
you were always meant to walk.
Home never...

Unworthy, Yet Blessed“Blessed are the poor in spirit”
I am broken by my pride and arrogance
How should I ever see the kingdom of heaven
“Blessed are those who mourn”
My sins and offenses are innumerable
Why would I deserve comfort
“Blessed are the meek”
I struggle with anger and aggression
What makes me worthy of any inheritance
“Blessed are those who hunger and...

Africa Seems FreeLooking through my window
Children playing around with slops
Dogs cats cows... singing in their own right
Trees mingling with the wind songs of praise
Some off to the bush for food,
Who the LION is none of their business
Africa Seems free.
On the streets shouting carrying screaming
Jesus Muhammad...
Working for heaven eden
Back home they cant spare a bean for their Neighbor!
but...

Respect for the Dalai LamaThe Dalai Lama, who has earned
great respect and admiration,
has said that, after his death,
he will achieve reincarnation.
The school of Mahayana,
a Buddhist doctrine,
teaches social concern
and universal salvation,
a revered belief system
in his Tibetan nation.
The government of China,
with its history of prevarication,
insists that only it can decide
on the Dalai Lama's next manifestation,
showing complete disrespect
for...

The Lord’s Cry to His PeopleBehold the time is no longer near;
It is now. I have shouted, I have whispered,
And still, you do not hear.
Let the one with ears listen
For when I and My grace depart,
There will be no more delay,
And salvation shall be bought with blood.
Return to Me, O Israel My chosen, My delight.
Who is Israel?
Not those born of...

Whispers of GodGod works in whispers and slight nudges
Some choose to blast the music of the world
They drown Him out and claim He isn't there
They run away from Him tapping softly for attention
He follows
But not with screams and shouts and shoves
He doesn't work like that
If only we can learn to quiet our minds and lives to hear
His...

At The Foot Of The CrossCan you see where true hope is found?
Will you build your life on solid ground?
Are your hopes based on something sound?
Will you bend your knee at Calvary’s mound?
Do you know how to conquer pain?
Must you stumble through life’s empty strain?
Are your losses to be counted as gain?
Will you bow your head at Calvary’s precious stain?
At...

Wheeling
I sometimes feel
if JC had been broken on the wheel
instead of impaled and nailed to a cross
would Catholics be at a loss
or wave their hand
reeling in a circular motion
in front of themselves
when 'wheeling'
as opposed to 'crossing' themselves
while Trinity words were spoken
and if so clockwise or counter
my best guess is the former
as 'tho sacrificed
counter would imply

Grateful Heart, A Warmth WithinThe trees that sprout from the tiniest of seeds.
The sunny sky
A hint of a breeze
The warmth from the fire, therein the crackling sparks tease.
I’m grateful for it all
From the North to the South, filled up mouths.
From the East to the West, downy beds.
Wealth piled up high
Never a restless night.
If there comes a day, where all...
