Lunar Silhouette

The moon photobombed the sun yesterday

And instead of the sun yelling,

"Get out of the way"

It encouraged the moon,

"Stay out front

 Take bow"

Then the sun beamed with pride

and the people were wowed

By the lunar silhouette

dressed up beautifully

in black

 Inspired by the sun,

  graciously,

 at its

back

One Ends, Another Begins

The beauty of life is as one paths ends

another begins

One door closes and another

opens again

Friends, family, experiences, come and go

Things move much faster than most of us

  know

So savor the moment while it's in

Because soon that will end

and another will begin

The Power Of Us All

The question is

 what are you gonna do

Follow a lie or elevate the truth

Will you stand up for love

or cower in fear

Will you be part of the solution

or just disappear

The purveyors of hate

want you silent and scared 😨

But as my dad used to say,

Be stealthily and prepared

You're powerful, smart, strong,

resilient

Organize, strategize, be brilliant

For united we stand and divided we fall

Defeating the devil

is gonna take the power

of us all

The Pact

Divide and conquer

That's what they said

Then they sent a baffoon

to get in our heads

An old man with backwards ideas

Sent to stir up hate and fear

But the resistance was strong

and made a pact

The majority,

 would bring sanity back

So we put our differences aside

and flexed our might

Exposed the hate mongers

 and brought truth to light

Then in 2018,  

we elevated our stance

Voted in record numbers and took

 back the legislative branch

Let's Hang Out

With all that's happening all about

We should get together and just hang out

No cell phones or talk of daily grind

No self imposed curfews on our mind

Just two people out to play

Or laugh and dance the night away

Making memories

That's Whatsup

A night when we can turn it up

Finding a way to work it out

A night that we can just hang out

Now i'm not saying we should pretend

That a bunch of crazy ish is not going on in the world,

my friend

But just a break from what drives us nuts

To enjoy a life

that we only live once

Under the warm, summer night

We can wander all about

When we get together and just hang out

Whiners

Tiki torch carrying nazis

whining in the streets

Throwing a tantrum about wanting their country back

 as if they were native peeps

Pretending to be oppressed

on the basis of nothing

Other than 

not being able

to terrorize "others" without

facing repercussions

"upstanding" khaki wearing klansmen

future lawmakers, judges and CEO's

The Governor of Virginia says pack

your ish and go

For you're not our future

Your face of fear is not our

fate

You're just selfish, little, whiners

fixated on making america hate

You love

When you're laying so close to me

I love the feelin' of ecstasy

Do it to me

all of the time

Love your open mind

Lay your head on top of me

Your kiss will set me free

Sweet sounds of symphony

In harmony

You love

You love

You love

You love

You love this feelin' divine

Rhythmic melodies taste like wine

Intoxicating your mind

Gonna love you blind

So, when you're laying so close to me

The love we share is so deep

I pray our souls I will keep

As you fall asleep

You love

The Soulless Curse

    

Walking dead 

Bit by the cursed

Follow the message 

verse by verse

It must be real 

cause it's on the screen

Programed by phones that click to distract 

Dazed and confused

Tortured fate

Big Work

We have to step away from the fake sh*t

You know, break this

 cycle

It's psycho

Crazy

How complacent we've become

Lazy

But, there's no limits, just plateaus

So move

Strength increases where the energy flows

Like water, my friend, be unstoppable

And, on top of yo

game

Even when the work seems tedious and lame

Stick and stay

Keep moving forward, 

and say

I'm gonna see this through

 Cause, my dreams are great 

So, I've got big work to do

The Talk

Why do you obsess over me
From your minstrel shows
to your reverse racism pleas

Obsessing, dressing, trying to
 impress, me

Hatred and jealousy is your disease

Can't find a moment of peace.
Be free
Stop feeding it
That's the key
Cause it's weird how you obsess over me

Next To You (from August Heat)

Next to you is where I wanne be

Till the stars are buried in the sea

And water falls up a tree

Till the earth revolves around the moon

Till an ice storm warms the month of June

Next to you is where I'll be

Loving on you, passionately

The Rise of Dinosaurs

The Entitled

Don't let them treat you any ol' kinda' way

Robbing you blind, in the name of the god they pray

Erasing your image from the city you call home

Seeing a brighter future

 but with your ass long gone

Taking away your healthcare 

 while you pay for theirs.

only looking out for fellow

Act

There's a force in the air

No need for fear

Just be aware

Watch it as it enters 

your space

It's come to sucker punch 

you right in the face

But you're strategic

So overcome the foe

Intercept 

Go high then low

In the process

get to know thyself

Inner knowledge equals wealth

Focus your energy and your time

Awaken potential hidden in your mind

Then you will discover an important fact

Your strength lies in your ability to act

Excuse me, but, we see ourselves as being a lot more diverse

And I needn't go into who was here putting in the work first

Repeal Your Own

With those seeds you've sown

Why don't you repeal your own

Bet you would change your tone

Your tired ass tune, worn out song

Would that be so wrong

After all, your pocket have grown

 Mighty fat

cause our money you tax

And you have the nerve to poetically wax

Your bullsh*t lies,

your alternative facts

But now it's time we take our country back

Your services are no longer needed

 Go ahead, pack

Cause my vote is going to send you back

Home alone

But before you go

Summer Tease

Got me wanting to seduce you,

Got me staying up late into the night

when instead of leaving in

You Wear A Crown

Sometimes on grey (gray) days you tend to forget

Simply because it doesn't shine as brightly

 when it's wet

But you wear a crown

Natural hair sportin',

beautiful skin of brown

Sun-Drenched queen
wearing a crown

But hue really doesn't matter

for you are 

many shades

Even back as an afro puff princess

sippin' on Kool Aid

Glorious in nature

Breathtakin' in your way

A magnificent vision of splendor

 each and every day


Upon your head is where
it's found
You wear it well

an opulent  crown

Not a common diadem

like most of them are

But amazingly spectacular

Forged by the

brilliance of the stars

Your crown

Whether hard at work, in jeans
or in an evening gown

Oh lovely lady

You wear a crown

 So no need to search for validation

in the images most are sold

For the heavens declared you a masterpiece

 A wonder to behold

And don't

be fooled by the hateful,

who live to put you down

For your heirloom is royalty

and you, my dear,

 wear a crown

What She Was Created To Be

A land of equality &
Independence
is
what she was created to be

Not a land of
 racism
and tyranny

All who have eyes

say can you see

america
is not
what she was created to be

She's my home and,
of course,

 precious to me

But I'll never embrace
her dual allegiance
to the confederacy

Statues honoring
white supremacy

Strange fruit still
hanging
from her trees

Blood of my ancestors
flowing in her seas

 Injustice
her true
legacy

"We the People"
just a

 fallacy

Oh
my fellow americans
say can't you see

Until the wrongs
are
righted

her creed is hypocrisy

All who have voice
repeat after me

We must make america
live up to
what she was created to be

The Post Card

Please forgive me

but we are all searching 

for the life

That we promised ourselves

in our youthful strife

Please understanding me

I meant your life well

But time tells us 

how long we must

dwell

Hope you are well

Hope you are well

I'm happy and stronger

than I've ever

been

For age will 

,if 

we let it,

teach our

hearts to mend

So I send this postcard

With this story 

to tell

My dear friend 

I pray

 you are well

Pray

 you are well

Life is the great adventure

Inward is the path

But the outside illusions

will easily

complicate the math

Please understand

what we had will

never die

But with every season

comes the time to say

goodbye

So I send this postcard

Special Delivery

online mail

To say 

Thanks for being 

a part of my life

And,

 I hope

you are

well

Dear friend,

I wish you well

Music on our Minds

                    Pic from- Do the Right thang. A Spike Lee joint. c -1989


Music, music on my mind
Major, minor, flatted 5

Low notes rumble, high notes soar
Ring tones to film scores

Melodies that satisfy
Intervals that make 'em cry

A more powerful force you're hard pressed to find

Music, music on the mind

Music, music on my mind

Kool aid or a bottle wine

Entertain me for many hours
Changing my mood to sweet from sour

Mysterious as science, complex as math
Simple motifs seem to always last

Stuck in my head till the end of time
Music, music on my mind

Music, music on the mind
You make musicians play
and rappers rhyme

You move the crowd everyday
You're cut and mixed by djs

Creating the party
Becoming the scene

The worlds original time machine

Taking us back to a place and time
When music, music was a on our minds

Persevere, my dear

You needn't fear

everything you want is 

surprisingly near

See winter comes

and things look glum but

the road to victory has just 

begun

Take hold 

Be bold

Smoking hot, cold

Platinum, gold

The truth lies beyond

things you've been told

 Stay on path

Troubled times can't last

You and only you 

can complete the task

So, focus, my dear

No need to fear

Dark days will come

but you must

persevere

Great Days Of Summer

The power, the sun

beams through space

Reaching our planet

Giving us a taste

Energy, light 

glory, stars

The descendant of the expansion,

the pillars, quasars

But it matters not to us

It's no big deal

We just love

the way it makes us feels

Warm, happy

Erotic, alive

Invincible 

Full of drive

Inviting us to move

to a different

drummer

As we plan for fun

and the great days
