Black Child, Where Are You

Where are the Black children of today?
                        being murdered and raped
                         what an awful price to pay.
                  Are you in school trying to be educated?
                        or a gang banger making other peoples
                         life complicated.
                   Do you listen to what your parents say?
                           or letting all the boys have their way.
                   Do you cooperate with the men in blue?
                             or let them make a fool out of you.
                    Do you care about the problems of today?
                              or killing your kind
                               and jacking the house with
                              the local D.J.
                Put on your thinking caps, get on the ball
                         don't let life pass you in the mall.

Waiting

You bring me up
                  You bring me down
             and then you give me the run around

             You know I'am interested in you
             But still you don't want to be true

                     You pull me here
                     You pull me there
              And all I want to be is fair

              Is this atraction right or wrong?
              Don't make me wait for too long
              Cause you are the apple of my eye
              Come on let's give love a try

Rain

Rain makes you lonely
              Rain makes you sad
              Rain makes you wish things you never had
                 It brings about changes of thoughts in your mind
                 to leave all the bad ones behind
              Rain makes you clean places you hardly ever clean
                  before, even behind the refrigerator in the 
                   corner on the floor
               Rain hypnotizes you and makes you sleep
                    even if you are not that beat
                     it's the  drop that puts you in a trance
                     when it's only the moment you want to enhance
                Rainy days are good sometimes
                        for newlyweds, lovers old and new
                        they seem to soothe fusses and fights
                         to bring about peace all through the night
                          and make love shine through to end all
                            sadness, red or blue

Casino Christmas

Good times roll
             like the dice
             roll sevens

             Lights, sound, souls
              moving free
             food court near

            Slot money rings
            elves mouth sing
            walk out broke

Shadows of Love

When I look at you
             I see me
         What is this power you have over me
              wishing and praying
              you were mine
         You look at me , and turn away
          Without ever having a word to say
           I think I love you, I don't know yet
            but do you love me, want to make a bet
       How can you see me, What can I do
            I really want to be with you
        Time has passed and still no dice
            are we ever going to feel some rice
         You get me so confused, till I can't think
           I cry so much, till my eyes are pink
          I dreamed of us living the american dream
             one child maybe two
     with smiles on our faces no need to change places
     I heard you got married the other day so I guess there is
     nothing left to say

Rain

Rain makes you lonely, Rain makes sad

            Rain makes you wish things you never had

              It brings about changes of thoughts

               To leave all the bad ones behind

              Rain hypnotizes you and makes you sleep

               Even if you are not that beat

                Rainy days are good sometimes

                 to end all sadness, red or blue

Drunk Santa

Half on, half off, there Santa lay
     from partying all night on Christmas Eve

     Mrs. Claus spiked the eggnog with his favorite drink, bourbon
    Then he danced on the decorated tables, ate too many Christmas cookies
    played too many reindeer games and went too low on Limbo
    Finally, he fell out on the floor.
    All the tipsy green elves helped Santa into bed
    within a hour, the alarm rings and his big hands, hit the snooze button
    Mrs. Clause, with blood shot eyes, helps smashed Santa, get out of bed
    and pushes him in the sleigh, and told Rudolph to lead the way.


  
   Santa hits the snooze button   12/16/18

Mulatto Child

So your daddy is white
          your mother is black
           What about you?
     Oh, you are just a little light.
      Do you want to live like white?
           or live like black?
      Hey man, I dont't want to fight
      Do you believe in civil rights?
            or the white hooded men who raid the night
