Art of Words

I paint pictures like Davinci-Close your eyes and see the visual picture
I speak from the soul like 'Pac- can you see my visual scriptures
like Picasso- I paint pictures too
it's life in the words I speak- it's life in my literature
I put detail in my art like Pollock do
and some may read this- and think of it as being taboo
yet through my words you can picture my soul like Gordon Parks
I speak from my pen like Alex Haley speak from the heart
i'm like Vango and Monet- difference is- some will follow the G.E.N.E.R.A.L.'s Sonnet
if you want to find me- then through my words you should start
from my soul- to your heart-through my words- you bind it
from my words-the power- like Maya Angelou's you find it
if I overstand- then maybe you understand- my words have no cost
my words are art-I tell you-I teach you- like i'm Ross
my words are as a mural-Wyland- my soul is the sea
travel with me through word in my soul- you may get lost
yet you visualize-you'll see apart of me
'Pac-Alex Haley-Langston Hughes-Maya Angelou-Shakspeare-is art to me

my words is art-and no!-i'm not budging
like Micheal Angelo's painting "The Last Judgement"


                                                                                        -G.E.N.E.R.A.L.

My Name Is Forever

I try hard not to meet reproach
during the period of which i exist
when I repose-the work I've done
I hope well after my existence I'll live

darkness i must proceed from
for-if I don't- I may meet reproach
and after my existence I may live-but not as long

when my soul is free- and my flesh is carrion
my name will be tarry
my name will be siempre
my name will be immortal

do you think this inconceivable
well if you do I beg to differ


                                                              -G.E.N.E.R.A.L.
