NIGGAS ON PATROL...
What becomes
the parasite with no
mention of desire..our
people's atrocities
with lips that conjures up
what splurges among white
anatomy ..while
looking at wars of disaster..
cries in the streets..
the drums of battle..
sends a message..with Mics
by soldiers. and blood
drawn from
weapons upon the
lines of poets..
lost & found..deep &
depth from weeds that's grown
flies me 2 the moon
& back where your
love don't care what's black
spoken in
tongues..dropping pants..

while the law
called me hired help..
get up against
the wall of injuries..penalties..
drugs related..
incidence ..under minding
what commonly
known to all in the ghetto..
they persuade 2 KEEP
moviin out the way of a badge..
a cause..to fight 4 justice in
a room without windows
to escape the hot burning mass
of ridicule..interrogates me..
a animal roars..
where the saliva spits from..
breath that knocks
you out..talks..
whose guilty in a lined up..
seeing an innocent victim
being treated by
a predator ..K-9s orders..

essays of the
best days..with bones still alive..

a revolution..what's been
televised still..holding our own.
shackled.. from
wars in the BLACK JUNGLE..
w/no turning back..a Kingdom..
what was damaged..royalty..now

~MEMORIES THAT WILL LIVE ON~ NEVA 4GET..AS WE ENTER..MEMORIAL WEEKEND..IT'S ABOUT KEEPIN U ALIVE
"STONE LOVE'
There was once the term...stone love

bullets performing in the air
where times takes u through
muddy waters & foreign
defensive arms..where
liberty..justice..signs
a documents..
awards are handed out..a hero becomes
the strong soldiers of war..where the
brave dared not go..but forced 2 fill
the hearts of love ones we left behind..
home..

EVERYDAY LIVES

Though ..

I break away from
careless beings..where
my heart persuades me
the chance of a life time
covers all aspects of
denial
to chase the
constant trials of
bickering..
seeing points 2 make
where..I discover a losing
battle..comes debates w/
a price..the cost
of living..stable..where ur
voice becomes
a place charitable..
worth the time rendered
in somebody's life.
what brands u grade A..
what hands u the
approval 2 be
The prime example
in society..doing
something 2 look
a credit well
established..I am a
trademark..a household
payment..what cherishes
the love 4..being
dollars & cents..what's
aimed at giving..
showing.. a Job
shines on an individual
respect calls it company
wearing a smile..
face value what's
beneficial..guarantees
you..a home..

OUT OF SIght..."LOST"..MY FRIEND.. DONALD.RAINS sr...PASTOR..HUSBAND,,PREACHER...,A GOOD MAN
Donald Rains has been a good
friend a devoted christian
a loving father..husband to his
second wife..where he was married
before to Sherry..whom I knew
she was a crazy..fun loving human
being..he lost her to a brain
Aneurysm..
a young woman..was
only 25 or 26 years old..after which..
things started going down hill for him..
I was going with my son's father ..
Tony.. Donald's cousin..
we all had many good times
spent with Donald..
he use to be the life of the party..
went partying all the time..bus trips..
church outings..amusements Parks..family
reunions dinner's at his house..
games..baseball..basketball w/ TONY
We always did things in a very
high class way..loved 2 show his playa
hats & manly character...It's so sad..
that I had 2 hear about the sudden
attack placed upon his sight
about 4 months ago..as I was
preparing to say goodbye to the love
of my life..I received an email
from Donald..asking me about
my mom..everything seemed 2 be
ok..until..he shared the news
w/ me about his sight..I said..is it ..
CATARACT or GLAUCOMA..
he responded..GLAUCOMA
we continued on speaking on the matter
which was similar to my mother
he started asking me ..
what did I witness through her
downfall..I replied..she had an
operation in 1 eye...never had the chance
to get the other eye done..
her sight started fading
I was so devastated..everything
he said..is exactly what was happening
the days that drew closer to her demise ..
he started keeping in contact
with me on facebook
as the days went on..he got worse
the doctor finally broke the news to him
he will b losing his sight
permanently..it's just one more
disease..taking all our black people
over by storm..
diabetes..cancer...heart failure
stroke...thank God ..he had something
for me to do..I banged on the floor
grabbed my head..said outta
my mouth with
a loud sound ..get thee behind me Satan
all of a sudden..a voice..just as plain
as day..said ..take an aspirin..
i asked my grand daughter
to quickly go get me an aspirin in
the medicine cabinet as soon
as I took that
pill..I can tell the difference in my brain
the doctor was angry that I took a
chance walking up to Rockaway
one long block from where I live
they check my vital signs..pressure
what outta control..
had to rush me
right then and there in a ambulance
right away..they told me ..if I had waited
another hour or more..I would have
went in2 a coma..it is very important
to follow up on your health
it might sound so bad even put fear
in the mind..not 2 convince u to
have it checked out..but GO!!!
DO THE RIGHT THANG..
it will pay off in the long run..
MY buddy can't turn back the hands of
time or trade in his vision & reverse
the problem..which is too far gone..
This man became a Pastor..a
man of the cloth..w/a church.a new
wife & a wonder life..
they came crashing down all around
his world..a son..the gift of life sending
a message from
GOD..every Sunday morning..
praying for others in fellowship
supporting his members
in SOUTH CAROLINA..
where there was a knock on heaven's
door he be the answers reading
scriptures preaching the Gospel..now
he's being taking care of ..
by his wife they lost their home..
he now lives in Connecticut..
he owes bills,,
and get this..they turned him down
for social security disability ..
talking about economics going bad..
I feel for him with all my heart..
it's gonna take the political access
negotiate the necessities
in life which brings 2 this travesty I ASK
for those who have had this experience
to please ..work with ur nearest legislators
or govt official to make DEMANDS
ON HEALTH CARE..
it is a VERY life threatening situation...
WE NEED ASSISTANCE in the worse
way possible..God Bless YOU..Donald..
LOVE you MAN!!!
Thanks for LISTENING..Create

THE PASSING OF MOTHER'S DAY..A THOUGHT
"I FEAR NO EVIL."for
thou art 'w/me
I KEEP HEARING HER..
MOM'S VOICE
for I am his child..
his fortress ..his life everlasting..
his coat of arms..embracing ..
what finds happy days..
a place where no harm
can control you sweetheart..
no matter how far...no matter
how long..wide..the perimeter..
WHAT breaks the yolk 2 bond..
I will extend my sword
2defeat hatred..a selfish soul..
forgets what is a blessing..
to open ur heart..meant..
what's been on going
4 a long time coming..
2 wake the vintage rage..
what angered all who was
in fault..I will surround u....
come..by virtue of despair..2
understand.
why life had to leave so soon..
my battles are now over..
I now know who
continues my chapters..
to follow the ways of scripture..
where ..heaven holds a place
for those who pray..2 him..ur path 2
righteousness..no stopping this time warp..
what takes u through
4 ever..God spells the kingdom & the
lighter days certain..no man
shall b..be4 me on Earth...
so as I spoke these words on
MOTHER'S DAY
2 u..honoring what brought forth..
my namesake..it becomes all clear..
that Love conquers all..
defends..protects it's young
in2 adulthood..where GROWTH..
emerged..
THE sweet amber
ways of my passing ..the gift..
what gave me..life..
it is now ur turn..
my daughter..it will be ok..
u will know OUR
father in heaven..he's the life..
what grant me...your tomorrows.
POEMs I write..followed by ..
Y O U..DON'T CRY..

MY THOUGHTS...CREATE
TODAY...
wasn't such a good one..u see...
I made some friends online that were
comfortable to chat with..although the amounts ..
u can count on ur fingertips but..
when it all boils down to looking at the future..
what it has in store..mines is a filter
..a light..and smoke..a glass of joy..juice..
The truth be told..
i am tired of being in the company of a picture..
with letters to rely on..every day...when I wake up..
looking forward to getting a message ..
hoping that somehow..u made the right decision...right?
WRONG..questions are being ask..
how are u ..what's going on..u feel like for one moment
it's going round and round..like a reviving door..
In my case..it's just the opposite..mines
is making moves..writing my poems..posting if
I feel like it's gonna present a cheerful moment..
knowing ur the key to
making someone's day good..but..not really..
they don't respond..even when u do...
it's getting to the point..
I am not doing myself a favor for nothing..
thinking..where are my real ..true friendships..
what are they doing right at this moment..
who will listen..instead of being wrapped up in there
own self accord..finding how to leave the web..
by iphones..living for a pray to bring them
miracles of the heart...I stand alone all the time..
watching the time drift in2 space, seeing myself
go into another life..not of this EARTH..
the vision keeps me sad..but.I still carry on..
without u..Peace..CREATE

ONE LEGIONEER..the MONTH of MOTHER
Beneath the shallow
waters near..
I grab a hold of one so dear...
with inch and
every measure so true..
she reigns among the life so blue..
when I vision your splender..
a heart so dear & loving..
so precious as a jewel..
the sweetness the tribute..
I cast you as my total
spirit of gender..
a guiding light,the
streams that flows through..
where movement still proceeds u..
outlives the moments
when..I wake in morning's wind..
where your breathe leads me..
it's air..an
open access to hear ur voice..
I wear..cherish..
the abundance u bring..
in the natural
world of flesh..hold me close..
where eyes spoke..direction..
to lead me down in
history..
A child who remains..your seed..
the root planted..where ur name is
written in stone..my belovit..
Mother.
What carries your thrown...
