Float with me, my love, amid coral pink nebulae on the astral stagecraft
Surfing wavelengths ultraviolet, in close encounter of two dreamy hearts;
Oh, how charming it is, to woo romance in opal aura of stardust galaxies!
Glistening your happy smile, in sculptor’s blueprints upon blushed motifs
Like the ephemeral musings of burning meteoroids on ruby rose tapestry
Lost in the constellation’s scarlet orange tinges on kaleidoscopic imprints.

A spectacular show enlightens heavens above
In ephemeral musings of burning meteoroids
Mimicking likeness of falling ornamental stars--
Beaming streaks of rainbow-colors earthbound,
When earth crosses trajectory of comet's path
Encountering in its way pebbles of cosmic rock
Colliding, illuminating in orbital trespass,
Elements of iron, copper, magnesium, silicone
Glittering within spectra of kaleidoscopic astral art;
Streaming down rockets of blazing stars--
Tinted meteor-showers flaunting nature's panorama
Fixating sights upward where constellations are,
In idyllic August venue gazing ashen sky
Exhilarated witnessing magical phenomenon;
Mesmerizing predawn with seductive stagecraft
Premiering its play slyly when moon's hiding out
And sun's yet to commence ascending golden arc.

The hardest thing in life
Is seperatung love from spite ;
Separating the truth,
Even when you think it sounds right.
If you don't know your enemy,
there's no way you can fight-
And Sometimes the greatest hints are slight ;
As I recall them-
Laying down at night .
There Is no remorce in self advocacy,
And no shame in doubting their accuracy;
The intent of others is incalculable,
And you will feel their wrath;
Life is our hourglass-
So who cares if your an outcast?
Make the contrast-
Because their *****is all stagecraft;
Shoot a counterblast,
Stay steadfast-
And make damn sure it has an impact.
Prattlers, this voice on stage tenured its talents well
Acme of the art, the rare thespian my father spoke
Ubiquitously your destiny's duality, and swell
Lauding you, my head, and naught this spell broke
Lawyer, and luminary in African people's racial cause
Emigre from home tossed on controversial seas, he
Revered third of the race from Rutgers, had no pause
Overperformer in sport, in scholarship and art, free
Yielded fame for freedom liberating black hopes still
Respected in politics, honored for stagecraft and will
Oyster of our pearl, we thank Princeton for your birth
Black and brilliant son, whose shadow shade far flung
Europe and the Caribbean. How wide you stride the earth
Sensational in song and show, censored and blacklisted
Oppressed and despised too in strange minds time-twisted
None but honorable death could harm you, O great native son.
