He walked across
the gown-filled stage, and off
with his diploma.

He’ll always be my Pepsi man
With a Diet Pepsi, in his hand
I’ll continue to sleep in my Pepsi T
Since Pepsi is a part of me
Uniform to slacks and tie
And now we’re telling Pepsi, bye
But it’s ok, I’m not sad 
My daddy is a Pepsi grad...

My Wish, Pure Pish
	

Would all that I read
Forever stay in my head
Many heads I’d carry
And, a Gorgon I’d be!

Gen is what remains
If memory loses its gains 
So long Grad. Cap I don
I’d be a happy Gorgon!

Goin’ to school
Grad school that is
But I’ve got to wait
Till they choose me
There’s a simple
Process needed to be done
Before they allow me in
It’s an admission decision
They will notify me
By email, phone, or letter
I’m waiting painstakingly
For the results

holding on to this slippery life 
trying so hard not to let it get away 
writing it all down so I can remember 
read it later and try to understand 
trying to have a heart but you won't let me 
reaching out to grad what I could never reach 
you're always taking the prize and you enjoy it so...

Wishing to be a grad
Now though a lad,
Can be sweet as Chad.
Many get to write a pad
Exams and become sad;
Results make them monad
Make loose courage had –
Isn’t this too bad?
So be a brave lad.
There will some tad;
World differ like dad,
You always try to add
Vigour to your try; be mad....

When i was younger i had no problems at all
Now that i'm older my problems have grown 10 feet tall
Bill paying and rent is my main thing now that i am older
having to do that makes my world a little colder
to much month at the end of the money really makes me mad
Sometimes i wish i would have been a harvard grad...

The Day after grad.
The day after you grad. You get home not knowing what to do.
Looking through the newspaper.
A butcher, a baker, a Hamburg maker.
No plans at all but just had to call. Mickey Ds or the cow king. They say jobs are 
good.
I walk the floor I just can't do it no more. 
Dam I want to go back to school...

I wish I had
been kind to Dad

Mostly I tried...
but left him mad

I wanted him
to be less sad

I would prefer
to make him glad

Buy him new shirts
perhaps in plaid

However he
likes to be clad

Make him proud of
my college grad.

A time machine
would be so rad

I could go back
and be less bad

And most of all:
more kind to Dad...

I had a pad that was not vinyl clad
sad to say it was bad , would drive you mad
sold it in an ad for just a tad to some young lad
I was a dad, poorly clad, never felt glad
life was a fad, a four year grad, lost what I had
roamed like a nomad, pocket of coins and doodads
a voice was heard, changed my life, a spiritual triad
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost...

To endure is to mature. It will teach you how to spot manure, when to take a detour and be able to resist the allure of the impure.

When you endure you become secuure, for you'll start to see the contour of things that were obscure, then life you'll savour. 

And life will take you on a tour but if you endure it will ensure Fervour.

So why not grad a brochure, take life's grand tour, just make sure, you Endure.

Endurance Is Insurance....

Morehouse grad who reached the heights.
Activist for civil rights.
Rhetor, rebel, reverend.
Toiled to segregation end.
In nonviolence believed.
Nobel Prize for Peace received.


Lincoln's words inspired his theme
Uttered in "I have a dream."
Thousands march to Selma led.
Husband who Coretta wed.
Evils tried to remedy.
Rests with brothers Kennedy.


Killed by bigotry and hate.
Inner spirit celebrate.
Name today immortalized.
Greatness that too early died....
