Karin Edwards Poem
(in reference to Lamar "L-Boogie" Featherston)
Constantly, does it leave on My mind,
a mental strain
Everytime, I think of how you died,
in vain
Upon leaving your mark here, a
hard to get out stain
It's funny, for I never knew you
were in pain
Yet, outside My window, down
came the Rain
How it hurts, that I'll NEVER,
see you, Again

Karin Edwards Poem
If I was sworn in as the
President
I could dictate how Our
money's spent
And, figure out where the
Economy went
How in the Problem, could
be put a dent
While determining which Cadillac
has too much tint
As I, on up-scaling the whole world,
would be bent

Karin Edwards Poem
(In Memory Of Mrs. Vera Latney)
Take Me To See The
King
On a Prayer and an
angel's wing
So I, my Red cabbage,
to him can bring
Now, let those "pearly-
gates" wide-open to Me fling
As I hear gentle hands on a
harp string
Giving Me reason to lift My voice
and sing
To have a feel for whatever My eyes
do cling
In the land of "Milk and Honey" that
has Everything
Even, My long, lost LOVE, with whom
I hare a ring
Please Take Me To See The King

Karin Edwards Poem
Don't believe the hype, freedom
isn't free
Or, why else was JESUS made a
sacrifice at Calvary
As ROSA, inadvertently challenged
the system of Montgomery
And, JFK, became a target of some
CONSPIRACY
While, PREJUDICE, took the life of Rev.
Martin Luther King
Inevitably, did Someone make a sacrifice
for You and Me

Karin Edwards Poem
(In Memory Of The late Amelia Earhart)
To her Dreams, she held on
tight
Never turning back or giving
up the fight
How she soared the blue skies
with all of her might
Through all kinds of weatherm Day
and Night
Until, she came to disappear, from
sight
Let's Hope to God, that She "saw the
Light"

Karin Edwards Poem
(The Lincoln Memorial)
Out into Space, does He seem
to stare
This once noble being fixated in
his chair
After Our fore-fathers of their fate,
he came to spare
Putting on the "Old South" a little
"wear and tear"
When He to challenge the law, had the
nerve to dare
Making for Him to abruptly, end up in the
Lord's care
Just for Changing History, now tell Me, is
that fair??

Karin Edwards Poem
(In reference to the LORD)
If your cup from Trouble is filled
to the rim
And, the road less-traveled appears
to be grim
Making for your chances of survival
appear to be slim
When you from TEMPTATION act on
a whim
Only to be left hanging, out on a
limb
Seek Ye the Lord, and Trust In Him

Karin Edwards Poem
Is Hip-Hop Dead?
If People, by Our lyrics
can be led
With the light on ghetto
life, We shed
About how hard We have
it, as a kid
When Momma struggles
to keep Us fed
The hustle, We learn to
make fast bread
If We of such Poverty, can
spew off Our head
Using POWER that has folks
running sca'red
About how, We of the hood,
can Never be rid
Then, on this One thing, you
can surely bid
And, that is, Hip-Hop will Never
Be Dead

Karin Edwards Poem
She's trying to wash US
away
So, WE, in Our homes, can
No longer stay
Sneaking up on US, a dirty
trick she did play
Had US like OTIS, 'sitting at
the dock of the bay'
Waiting on SALVATION, come
what may
When LIFE, as WE knew it, had
gone astray
Why Lord Why, didn't you spare
US, that day?!
(For New Orleans)

Karin Edwards Poem
In Memory Of Mrs. Vera Latney)
Stop, all dat looking
down
Cause I ain't in that
ground
I'm in Mount Zion making
a joyful sound
Don't act like you aine know
I was heaven-bound
Up here, "raising the roof';
justa jumping around
With a halo over My head, I
wear like a crown
So none of that crying the tears
of SMOKEY'S clown
Since I, a new joy in Life have found
