A lunar cave sheilded them
from the horrors of radation
there the Moondogs
honed there skills and became
revered by the challenges of nature.
Martain Microbes and
Titan Sulfurnites
the Crystals of a space time Contentioum
filled the area were
the Magnif One
Duplicater wuld build
the first ever Home World vessel
to store the inhabitants of Earth.
Earth a World far, far away!
Earth, there a twinkle in the galaxy.
Earth a place destined t jear the tales
of these Astromic explorors.
Earth there beyond the
the hemishere of the Moon, Mars and the Earth like
moon of Saturn!
They were astronuants in space when
earth was conquered by 55 Cancri e a distant planet in Space!
frustrations and stressful events that gave way
to the spaceship docked above earth.
The camera show
were the astronauts on the moon, Mars and Titan
rallied to join together
and spearhead the
effects to reconcour earth.
The far, far planet earth home to these
earthings.

HE'S BEEN lied too
CHEATED ON
THE SUBJECT OF
EVERY SAD SONG
BROTHER
NEVER A FATHER AND
DEFINITION OF
A BAD SON
HE CAN'T FIND A REAL
WOMAN
WHO'S BEEN THRU
HALF THE THANGS
THAT HE'S DONE BEEN
SOME WOMAN PLOT
AGAINST GENTLEMEN
TRY TO MAKE THEIR
EFFORDS VAIN
THEY UNDERMINE
AND ARE MEDDLESOME
THEY TAKE THEM
FOR GRANITE
AND TAKE THEIR GAINS
WHEN YOU FIND A WOMAN
AND TRY TO COMPROMISE
THE WOMAN AROUND PLAN YOUR DEMISE
THEY SOUGHT THE PRESSURE
AND STRAM THE STRAIN
LIKE I SAID BEFORE
TO TAKE YOUR GAINS
A REAL WOMAN WANTS
AND WORKS FOR HER TREASURE
SHE STORE IT SO
SHE CAN SHARE WITH YOU
THESE
GHETTO SUSHI'S
I COME ACROSS
THEY
DO NOTHING
AND BLAME
EVERYTHING ON YOU
HE'S BEEN LIED TO
AND TALKED ABOUT
THEY USES HIS WORDS
TO PULL HIM APART
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
I'LL TELL YOU FACT
SHE WANTS TO DESTROY
ALL YA'LL KNOW THAT
HE CAN'T FIND A
WOMAN
WHO DONE BEEN THRU
HALF THE THANGS HE
DONE BEEN

Dawn awakens, lets yawn red searing sigh,
summer steams sweltering sweating sunlight.
Street's hot bed of coals smolders in July,
temperatures torch with tropical smite.
Haze humid stir-frying Bronx crispy craze,
housing is tinder, youth straggle sapped streets.
Rainstorm naught, nothing to break basting braise,
community chafing white wicked heat.
Day, baked yellow clay, dust dry makes you swoon...
pool of cool baptizing childrens’ new truth;
Mercy! Water main break floods ‘fore high noon,
thirst quenched, street's fluid, flows fountain of youth!
Liquid color splashes in rainbow spray,
heads happily anointed with prism pour.
Black-white exist - gray day grit washed away,
hearts watercolored in need of restore.
Revelry riots in verdant voices,
sprightliness sings in city oasis!
Eyes excite, smiles shine, refresh rejoices,
joie de vivre, full of life faces!
People all ages on sidewalk's sideline,
wish to beat heat but sadly no swim clothes.
‘Boxing ring’ pool, he imagines round nine,
celebrant boy smiles, strikes Jack Dempsey pose!

The coolest zoo to view
With an all-around great crew
The children are running
Tiger Mountain is stunning
Hear the tigers chuffing
See the parents huffing
At Bird World, people are pouring
To see the birds soaring
Take a ride on the monorail
Around the Wild Asia Trail
In the Children’s Zoo, oh what fun
To visit the farmyard in the sun
The Indian Gharials are basking
While the children keep asking
Little penguins are splashing
The cameras are flashing
The lion pride roars
And the snow owl soars
Ring tailed lemurs leaping
While the Fossas are creeping
A Snow Leopard on the prowl
A Gelada Baboon with a smile
Western lowland gorillas interact
While the Okapi families attract
Sea lions are flipping and diving
Zoo babies are growing and thriving
Monkeys are climbing and swinging
While their little babies are clinging

Napping behind bushes at Van Corlandt Park I finally got up on my feet,
and being I was homeless and hungry I started to search for something to eat,
preferring to look for food in the shadow's at night was my objective,
that way I wouldn't be in the spotlight as I hunt around like a detective,
I'd usually go check out all the garbage pails that were put out for the night,
trying to be quiet as I rummage through them for a midnight bite,
finding a lot of leftovers was a cuisine that I'd munch down with delight,
getting all my night time feeding done before the sun light,
Then right before the break of dawn I'd continue on my way,
looking for another park to bed down for a good part of the day,
being a loner I didn't have anyone to give me directions to another park,
so I would just follow my instincts and continue walking on a lark,
Crossing over the Bronx River Parkway I took a chance hoping to find my way,
passing vehicles can tell when they see my coyote carcass which is now decayed.

Water in the Bronx
Beautiful night as clear as day
Resting, for I am a believer
Can not wake up, maybe it is time to pray
For what I am about to see, makes me shiver
Walton High school, beside the subway tracks I stand
Is there someone with a cup?
As far as the eye could see, there is water all around me
And I begin to wonder as I look up.
As I survey this watery scene, all is silent and calm
And the water swirls gently on the ground
Something must have happened not unlike a storm
For there no one else around
Three feet deep, I feel as if this is a flood
Or maybe global warming,the land could be sinking
The mighty warrior may be looking for blood
While around me, people sleep, then wake up drinking

On a sunny August afternoon
I went to the Bronx Zoo,
somewhat feeling blue...
I hurried to get there soon.
Tired of action movies, bowling halls,
long Poker games and silly talks;
I looked for new ways of sheer excitement...
perhaps animals would offer some merriment.
I walked around and observed hungry zebras
sticking out their long necks reaching for my bananas,
but the chimpanzees snatches them while they were distracted by a snake,
then quickly returned for more...Oh, I laughed hard at their stealthy trick!
The Bronk Zoo is located in the Bronx, one
of the five boroughs of New York City.

Trash strewn all over the street
Graffiti every where
A cop walks the beat
Drug dealer ducks back down the alley
He feels the heat
Congested traffic
Honking horns
Homeless lady looking in the trash for food to eat
No shoes
News paper taped to her feet
Shots pierce the night
Sirens wail
Some bodies loved one lies dead in the street
