Morning(poem)

  We said our hellos with happiness and glee

  As the morning sun dawned 

  Spring breezes covered us in a blanket of serenity

  The flowers bloomed all around us

  Newness reigned with every look 

  As spring turned to summer

  The earth became our playground 

  Laughing with joy in the Atlantic ocean

  Setting sail in the fall in the congo-ian sea

  Enjoyin' sweet peace

  Winter is near, the cycle of life must begin

  We must part

  See you again

  beautiful friend

  in the springtime

  The Newport(poem)

  Assemble together and lift up your voices

  Like a mighty rushing flood 

  Drench the earth with our cries 

  Cry out for the injustice of this crooked government

  Weep for the lost innocence of our youth

  Ball for the nation of killers that we have become

  Shout for the backbitters,oppressors and the haters that have taken over

  Let your tears fall for the pollution of our resources

  Only when we come together

  Can the evil be overcommed

  The Indigo Suite(poem)

  Not quite purple

  But it isnt blue

  What a wonderful hue

  Gettin' my groove on round this town in my indigo suit

  Ladies and men love my indigo loot

  Looping round in my indigo way Loving the indigo life today

  Far East Fantasies(poem)

  Mr. J cant get no play

  So he goes round feeling un-okay Mopping round

  He's so down

  Until he meets Ms. Anne

  She's so right

  And so tight

  Until she opens her mouth

  Labor Rest(poem)

  Wishing you all the happiness that this finite life may bring

  May never a sad tear drown your life's light

  Mercy be your friend

  Love be your companion 

  Goodness flow around you

  Not a solitary day may you see 

  Grace show up in your life when you least expect it to

  The best of this life

  That is my prayer for you

  Lagos Hollywood(poem)

  So you think I am rich because I live in america

  Oh you're so wrong

  So you want to use me to get a free trip to the USA

  Good luck big brother

  I am struggling even worse than you think

  barely able to make it

  A prince living like a palper 

  Hollywood used to be a city that dreams came true

  Now it is a place of nightmares 

  Burner Meteor(poem) 

  Instant gratification 

  Has taken a vacation 

  Replaced by celebration 

  No libation 

  Nor migration 

  Traveled to a lover's nation 

  Silly me has embraced the sensation of jubilation 

  For the duration of this happy vibration

  Mercury Gathering(poem) 

  So glad that I don't have to hide who I am 

  What's the use

  The same people that we work to impress are just as flawed as we are 

  If not worse I can walk down the street and work it

  With my head held high 

  No shame 

  No games 

  No to the lames 

  No head down 

  Just being wonderful me

  What's Come Over Me(poem) 

  The sight of your eyes 

  Smoothness of your conversation 

  Got me giving dollars 

  We haven't slept together 

  I doubt we will 

  Give me a friendly hug 

  It's over Dickmitized,pussy whipped

  Cannot keep my grip

  Someone sane tell me

  What's come over me

  One in 30 (poem)

  You aren't that rare

  Aren't that needle

  Aren't that one That one in 30

  Don't dream of you

  Don't fiend don't make me sing

  Aren't my coffee cream

  Sorry to tell the truth

  But you're not my one

  The Future 2(poem)

  Speeding towards December 31,2012

  The day the world's supposed to end

  Got folks in the panic mode

  Doomsday predictions are starting to get old

  Won't it be funny if the Mayans were wrong like the rest

  We will see on January 1,2013

  See ya then.

  1 in 30 (2) (poem)

  1 in 30

  Are oh so flirty

  They can't keep their lust together

  They can't mether

  Showing their goods

  To everyone with a wood

  Giving it up easy

  Tom Dick and Harry

  Enjoy their fling

  Until they get that thing

  That they can't get rid of

  Aaliyah We Remember You(poem)

  Looking at your movies

  Still loving your music

  How in awe we are of your physical beauty

  Oh the way you danced was heavenly

  Wonder what it would be like

  Wonder what you'd be doing

  Probably would be an even bigger star now than you were when you left earth

  Probably would be putting Beyonce and them to shame

  You'd have a reality show that everyone would watch

  Would have won 3 Academy awards by now

  The world would be at your feet

  But you are in heaven

  Not even thinking about earthly things

  Sometimes I sit back and wonder

  Wonder what it would be like if you were still here

  But all that we can do is love you from afar

  Gaze at your heavenly star

  And remember your wonderful earthly existence

  Ballad For New Country (poem)

  They owe me no honor

  No tribute must I recieve

  They owe me no patriotism

  No one must bow to me

  Salute me in vain

  Wave the flag of the unnamed

  Never to die of shame

  They owe me no heart-strange song

  They only owe me

  the strength of a glorious fight

  More Love(poem)

  Share your heart with a stranger 

  Some one who cant love you back

  Hug some hurting heart

  Far too many are selfish these days

  Far too many are cold

  That is why we must show more love to our fellow people

  Give love more and more genuine love

  One More For The Reader 4 (poem)

  We took a ride to the moon

  We toured the solar system Danced on Saturn's rings

  Chilled in Mercury,Mars,Pluto and Venus

  Where will we go next

  That's a great poetic mystery

  An wonderful question mark

  Until next time friend stay golden 

  Stay reaching and grabbing the solar treasures

  Peace
