I've Got the Best

See them…
in the street light,
done up…
for a hot night,
made up….
like a French whore,
skin tight…
on a dance floor.

Their men keep coming,
the richest in town,
end up laying all
their money down.
Got no pity
for all of these clowns,
’cause I know…

I have got the best, girl,
they have got the rest,
I’ve got the brass ring,
they, the hot mess,
I’ve god the good

Diabolic overpowering darkness
A matchstick rubbed 
Ego and reality of masses

Madmen leaked a rash of sky-blue puddle;
fatally cloistered the hat-flu's hubble -

To wit:

The half-time half-life smile of she and the other half-wonder of me:
far, far, ready to say maybe to love -
moved in half-dream to plumb half-baked memories.

Life Of Social Media

In the virtual realm, we craft our stage,
Dressing to impress, with every calculated gauge,
Selfies abound, a curated delight,
A masquerade of perfection, in the digital light.

The cost of fame, a daily toll we pay,
To maintain the façade, in a never-ending way,
We compromise our purpose, lost in the haze,
Seeking validation, in a sea of digital gaze.

We compete

Life Is All A Stage

Like a song we all like to improvise as we all go along.
Like a stageplay we like to have reasons to  pretend and play.
Like a semblance we like to be with whom bring us balance.

Hashtags

Hashtags.
Used to promote to get more attraction to a desired cause 
To create a movement , to even open doors
But - like most things it has its flaws
Used to manipulate for narrative control

Stories of real life trauma
Plastered on social media 
To be auctioned of and sold
To the highest bidder- usually a politician
Their favourites, those that

Anywhere That We May Go

I’m stir crazy in here and we’ve waited much too long,
we’ve got a map full of dates and a dozen awesome songs,
just wanna get on the road and bring this show to you,
there ain’t no better job, and we are the lucky few.

We’ll be cruising the nations,
don’t need no reservations,
screw all the complications,
I don’t care

Collops of Fat

Collops of fat line the tables of the few,
while the many stretch hands toward empty plates.
Skyscrapers rise in the capital,
yet in the villages, children bend under jerrycans,
walking miles for a sip of muddy water.

The economy grows, they say—
percentages polished and paraded—
but the growth is stored in vaults,
not in classrooms with broken desks,
not in hospitals without

I AM JUST A VOICE

I am only a voice
not the loudest in the crowd
not the softest either
but steady enough to be heard.

Shape me into fire
a rising sun on darkened streets
so I can burn through hatred
so I can light the cracks of racism.

I am just a sound
the trembling roar of a cub
but let me grow into a lion
so I can

The Old Foot-In-The-Mouth Syndrome

People say the oddest things
not realizing their faux pas

Given the chance to self correct
they usually fail miserably

ruins of soul

Wreckage of moments thoughts
born in the space of actions
Reactions to the stimulation
Expressions, expectations
Ruined little things, broken
Alone, a cry sold in old
Scattered around after a war's toil
Hear the rage far and away drone
I walk in the ruins of soul
I feel forgotten in foreign soil
The drifting of imagery 
Pressing the fragments 
Shards hard into skin
Forsaken forbearing fringes

Underneath the Overpass

Underneath the overpass as I was passing by,?
Something in the shadows, a shape had caught my eye.?
I couldn’t tell just what it was—intrusive thoughts owned me,?
For once I didn’t understand the shape my mind did see.

I drove on down the interstate, the rain began to pour,?
Wipers rapping,
?Thunder clapping, ?
Storming at my door.?
Lightning struck around me—waking
