hoped that Harlot Sal

exalted
exertions as a rustler.
His two-way hustler?

man gambling his way
walks tightropes

gravity, among the fronds
grabbing water seeds...

Hustler, are you pleased?

Hermit starves in fear....

all dressed in his lies.
Slick talking,
devil tongue.
Loves ladies of all ages,

A keeper or a hustler
Only time will tell
Trust your instincts but beware
Should your prospect go astray...

He hustled his way to the top
But in an instance, he was stop
Street cops took him down
He lost his street crown
And turn into a beat-up flop...

T-rump’s a hustler on a stage
A pied piper who taps people’s rage
So who will rebuff
This great con artist’s fluff
And call off this ugly dark age?...

Met a hustler named,Funky Cold Cash,

who had a swagger his attitude matched

with buckets of ducats and white collar dollars,

i watched as his limousine crashed...

A hustler never meets hunger
on his way to birth his meals
but bent settled kneels become 
stiff & slave to hunger games

You played a ruthless hustler named “Sam Rothstein“.
In that cinematic masterpiece, there was many a great scene.

A pool shark

Swims with the guppies

Half drowning

Half acting

But full of toy skills at times

He swears he's lucky...

There once was a hustler named Mable
Her mad skills at pool stuff of fable
Said, “It’s all up to you
But I’ll polish the cue
Of anyone clearing my table.”

When I discovered marbles can take marbles
I became a hustler
I was a pro
I took marble after marble
Some cried
I rarely gave their marble back
It was a competition
Taken fairly
I feel no guilt...

The close family was all called in
Four days since hubby to home had been
The snooker hustler  played
High stakes for which he stayed
In the door he came, our shock begins

Burning wild,
chaos grips my bones,
grinding sharp,
breaking free—
shards of dreams ignite the dark,
I rise through the storm....

It’s finally my turn to speak
I had enough of being meek
You enjoy bullying the weak
Insults have reached their peak
You’re a conniving little sneak
A hustler every day of the week
Should I let you hit my other cheek?
I’m out! You’re a snobby antique...

hustler's street
throbbing like a vein
guide chore girl
moist air clings
labyrinth shadows converge
show fragmented selves...

If not the clipper in the Saharan grasslands 
Then brother be the zipper to fasten the ethos 
Afrika mourns of today. Lamentation the dry
Ingredient to our sorrows that craft dispare.
Look at how they fattens alike baobab fat yet
I'm proudly a street hustler, bustling trickster 
Thins a biltong shred in toils for sustainance......

Awaken feels cold these
soul's forsaken, taken 
locked in a dungeon I
feel their pains is aching

Feel the heat from the 
streets as they seek out
their error, it's so simple
people we gotta look in the
mirror

A mear image of the error 
we live in the heroin's 
giving to children delivering
the message coherently fibing

They listen, why? because 
they gotta hear it to bear it....

My world is rusted
and don in a hoarfrost coat
to make a bard of hustler
gods had to skip the code

this may seems wild
but gods are making things
not always as mankind
no soul have wings

and yet it's rises all along
or wind - a jolly lad
despite the lack of tongue
still whistles like a mad

my world is straight
and narrow as poet words
demands no more but faith
of ever-anxious gods...

Every hustler has fallen.
Cracks in the concrete is how the streets are watching.
Calling me back, i thought i closed that door?
Slipping into darkness heating up my toes.
Rock bottom balling is a choice. 
Do or die. Be heard or make noise?
Bodies traced in chalk then go void.
Last time i checked I'm dealing with faith.
like a rose that grew from under the pavement. 
A hustler dies a hustler is made....

I'm a hustler homy
People guess about me
And they don't know
Anything about to show
God real faith
See what the Word says
It flows smooth like a river of delights
I like it like life in the day of light
I must make it real
Then Jesus will feel
My heart my soul
I will be in control
Through your faith by your power
He'll be your Lord in this hour
Give me honour for this pray:
"Jesus, I honour Thee with thy Ways"...

Comics come in many forms 
From Archie and friends 
To Batman and Superman
Beano and the Dandy
Vampire stories
If you have a penchant for blood
Japanese ninja assassin's 
Laura Craft tales for the girl's 
Science Fiction from Galaxy's far away

But if Hustler or Playboy
Are more your thing
A word of advice
Don't bother visiting Comic Con
It may be dark 
But It's most definitely not Blue
Sorry for you...
