Some are born Harlem Mercedes
and cast their shadow wide
Turn the world around
with love and peace
Sapple as a Jamaican Calypso
you rode the island Sun
and gave your generational heart
An Aladdin's legacy of activism
of civil rights with Martin King
and the antithesis of Bush and Trump
Wisdom as cultured Wine...

It’s okay to have no money
A need to protest for the good of many
We just have to keep at it.
Or we die...
A death of a writer
We wanted to die

Not a death of nothing…
Nothing we did for our society
Something really needs to happen
Many years is not a long time
A time for a few good things
Let’s die a whole!




This is a sharing with Tumbalata Jolo for activism....

When Doves Cry

Along a seaside promenade in Bray
it was on the radio
You loved it there 
This is where you’ll come to lie
Spiritual journey comes to rest 
Activism, and socio-political views
Social justice

In Your Face


I will put it in your face, 
as long as it’s in mine.

Is slavery in your face?
They’ve all been set free.

Is child labor in your face?
They’re all in school.

Are the house wives, in your face?
They’re all dropping votes.

As long as injustice reigns;
As long as death fills our veins
As long as the Leaders lie
As long as our planet dies.

I will be in your fat face,
because it’s all in mine.
