This Place Or the Shade of a Real Man

There is this  place,
where the sun is dark
and the silence hoarse.

The place in which lies on the ground
without strength to uprise
the shade of a fighter,
the shade of a real man.


Mt. Olivet Cemetery: Nashville

The monstrous spires uprise
But never touch the skies,
Vain, earth-foundationed monuments
To Life’s impermanence.

Expensive markers war with Time
Where lichen mosses climb
And cover up each hand-carved word
That tells of those interred.

This Is No Fairytale!

Earth; a'ged winter-sleeper;
Frozed stiff which place lies in.
Who in his spring youth again
Rime-stripped, does so uprise.

Through each whimsicality
Child-like runs, leaps and sways.
Which does for hare, horse always
And butterfly, surprise.

My Feelings For You

Here in the prison called my mind,
My feelings, confused, have been left behind.
I'm not sure what I feel,
I'm not angry or sad.
But I'm not happy either,
I think I'm going mad.
When I think about you,
I feel it all.
You could be my uprise.
You could be my downfall.

Bethel

Bethel, House of God, where Jacob knelt in thy awe
Evoke again that Hamitic vision here sweet,
Templing angels to the sky. Invoke in us thy law
Holy, just, good and true, rolling back waves of defeat
Emanuel, uprise from Mercy's throne to lead
Lambs of God where in green pastures by faith we feed.

Illiterato

On a day of rememberance
Cold nostalgia
  Playing in your eyes
Heart stabbed 
   With un-spoken words

Niether dead
    nor alive
silent lies
     mournful sorrow
Hidden in the uprise

      No one said goobye
Not a word whisperd
       crying in the sky
Forgotten words
        shadowed grace

Egypt Holy Land

Violence  in the streets 
Mankind seeks democracy 
Cyberspace is KING! 

Mubarak refused
To step down as President,
Uprise, Heaven Sent.....

The future is clear,  
Blood will spill and Armies fall, 
Cyberspace rules all ...

As Plan B unfolds,
The Whole World Is Watching You
Go Forth, See this through...
