Ponderings of the Moment
Solitude is now a trained trait
It’s easier than teaching the selfish to cooperate
Past the lights of yesterday
I see tomorrow fade away
Mundane voices talk with ease
Explaining why we go to sleep
Hieroglyphics carved in walls
Lead the way into our stalls
Different tones above our skies
Give our gods an alibi
Friendless souls still stomp around
Deciding if they own our

Not Me
In our family circus
children old enough to be left alone
without a babysitter.
Can find lots of interesting ways
to have fun.
And this makes for a happy house hold.
But when parents return home,
They can't help noticing something is different.
It’s to quiet
and the kids didn't meet them at the door.
Act one starts like this.
All right! All of

A Fool's Paradise
Come on, place bets and roll the dice, the gambler.
A near win is twice the size, the gambler.
They say what goes around comes around.
The wheel of fate rotates, rates rise, the gambler.

myself, with an imperishable pith
of me, a sort of enmity akin
to xenophobia: the human being
I see in mirrors is a guest from far,
a very far off world. How dare you are
embezzling me - the soul, the mind, the name!
Well, name is yours but what about the same

two deferent language's,
out of three major tribes,
Traveling around Africa,
I learned to speak,

Traveling out of Africa,
I learned to speak,
two more defferent,
international lauguage's ,
All together,
I basically speak

Don'T Stop the Pen From Writting
Don't stop the pen from writting
Don't take away my words.
This is my art, how I choose to express,
These are all the lessons I'v learned.
I might not be a painter,
Or invented a great big machine,
But I like to use my imagination-
I can go anywhere if I just dream.
I can go to a lost island
Undiscovered by
