WHEN I BREAK OUT OF JAIL

When i break out of jail
its all gonna be nothing
but 16bars
heart dropping verses
pinnacles of rhythm and flow
within 16 solid bars
more like cells 
too versatile and dynamic
in nurture
that may cause
elusive eruptions
more lava flowing
in crevices
drawing
capturing
all fantasies
streaming
from the core within
powered by mental chambers
within the abyss of my membrane
that may be deemed orgasmic
in nature as i throw the rope
hanging at the edge of a cliff
a hologram
captured
in 3D
of a somnambulist
sleep walking
on an island of verses in hoses
conundrums
of flows
raising
16barz
that breaks shackles and all known cycles

Humanity is One

Humanity is One
Let Us Become One
From One, we become many but still One
many in One, held in unison by One
One umbrella, One fabric
summed in One word
HUMANITY
which makes all of us fingers on One hand
each finger with its own imprint
for a hand to be a hand the fingers must work together
in UNITY
each one has the right to exist in the SUM
that which makes us Similar
that which brings us TOGETHER
instead of fighting over our differences
it does make sense to celebrate our DIVERSITIES
heed to my call Let's Stand Together and Rebuild
all that we have lost since life began
let go all these bundles:
Discrimination, Exploitation and Segregation
Racism, Terrorism and all roots of War
and other evils that exist under the sun
which continue to taint the View...
HUMANITY is One
Let's Become One !!!

Swimming with the sharks

Swimming with the sharks
got me discovering
the coral reefs and other worlds
beneath all the bedding
buried deep under
that may forever remain untouched
in this day and age
in which looking up
for constellations, more worlds
celebration of stars being born
more supernova's
one hopes no meteoric rain
the cosmic realms
so powerful
drawing power from all and one
all up to good and none
all said, still more not said
the sharks on a chase
mega fins splashing
i will be kicking the water like crazy
it aint my time yet
so i scuba rise
out of the waters
enriched by the fear
and all that i have gained
in swimming with the sharks!

‎"CALL ME ISHMAEL!"


‎"CALL ME ISHMAEL!"

I was there before time
time is of me, i am of time
without me there is no time
giving breathe to the word
that was done on time
so i may walk upon the earth
and all that it is in flesh
for if i was to be something else
who would stand and get to know
me or even hear me speak
my verses determine the phases
marked in time and all in between
so nothing remains untouched
as the spirit moves within all
and it is all that is in the all
for in the beginning it was all
that was nothing
that birthed something
but out of the clouds
thunder and rain
a voice roared
making all who heard
quiver and shiver
it said not much but
"CALL ME ISHMAEL!"

THE WORD IS NATURE




There is beauty in nature
Nature is beauty

There is good in nature
Nature is good

There is greatness in nature
Nature is greatness

There is inspiration in nature
Nature is inspiration

There is balance in nature
Nature is balance

There is creation in nature
Nature is creation

There is oneness in nature
Nature is oneness

There is enough in nature
Nature is enough

There is force in nature
Nature is force

There is love in nature
Nature is love

There is music in nature
Nature is music

There is life in nature
Nature is life

There is a key in nature
Nature is the key

NATURE IS THE WORD !

am thanksgiving and i am gone

I am thanksgiving and i am gone

So I Thanksgiving came and went
I was last seen on yesterday's doorstep, promising to return next year
but before I left it did leave some treats behind:


...remember the love that you shared when I was there
...remember the all the food that you shared and ate together
...remember all those who were with you or the ones who could not be with u
...remember my name and why you invited me into your homes and lives
...remember me not for the turkeys, sports, Black Friday and promotional gimmicks.


Honor me by remaining thankful always for:
+ the air and the spirit that is in you
+ the loves in your lives that make you smile
+ being there for yourselves and others
+ through all acts of love and kindness
+ seizing the day whilst you inhale positivity and exhale negativity
+ hold me close to your heart with each day and you will find bliss


I am thankful that i met most of you on this day and the love you showed me, that i shall always treasure and cherish. In case you forget to remember me everyday, i shall return next year with a bang...I thank the One above and FB for the platform..

Signed : Yours Truly Thanksgiving!

Loss of a loved one through death.

Loss of a loved one through death

Losing someone you love through death can have several devastating effects on the ones left behind. Some may wish that it could have been better if they themselves would have died in the place of the loved one who is now gone. Moving on or forward is always a difficult thing for those left behind who find it difficult to cope with what I would term their new reality( it may take time but eventually they will come to realize that the other person is no more and there is nothing they can do to bring them back)…

What to do in the event of such a loss and how you can move on remains a puzzling thought and is never the same from one person to another coz though we may lose a loved one through similar circumstances we never feel in a similar way and it can also not be predicted.

Below are a few things which can help you to move on, but I assure you it will not been an easy journey but it may help you come into terms with your ordeal and steer your on to your path to recovery. The path to recovery can be short or long depending on the individual involved, support around them and how close they were to the deceased.

You have to get back to reality and acknowledge that things have changed, that person is no more and that has brought about a new picture, a new reality.

You have to accept that what has happened is terrible, you might not have seen it coming but there is nothing you can do to unwind the clock

Your world has crushed but you are not the first one to lose a loved one and certainly you won’t be the last. Knowing this makes you are aware of people who have gone through similar circumstances or situations.

Yes it hurts like hell, but you are still alive and you owe it to be alive to yourself, your children, your parents or friends (in short to all those who are close to you and beyond).
You have to make a choice eventually to move forward… you see you cannot go back to what used to be, you can not stay also where you are at now, so the only option is moving on , moving forward( still it will not be easy)

Be part of something new be it an activity, a group, a new friendship or a new job. Old places, old things remind you of what used to be which no more is. Being part of something new gives you an opening or a new beginning (new way of living), it could give you a new perspective on life and other issues.

Maintain your old friends… maintaining your old friends will give you a shoulder to cry on coz they know you more and they understand better than anyone else what has happened to you and what you are going through.

It’s true that you feel beyond hurt, but try to dig deep within yourself in search of the desire to live. Looking at the positive things that you have done or achieved since your loss could be a starting point.

WHEN THE HEAVENS OPENED UP

The heavens opened up
and from the clouds
a voice was heard...

"This is my Son
the way
the truth
the life
the axis
that links
this world here
and the one above
He is like no other
for He was with Me
when all began
listen to Him
follow Him
Drink from Him
all who are thirsty in spirit
all who are sick
all who are troubled
all who have sinned
for you all and more
I have sent the best part of Me
My one and only Son
I and Him are One
for without one
you don't have the other
each strand of hair on him is royal
upon His head he wears a majestic crown
the world is yet to see
that makes Him the Chief King
and yet he will be treated like a thief
that will be so
to fulfill
that which was written"

With those words said
the heavens sparkled with immense light
and life was never the same!!!

TO THE POWER OF X ( An Excerpt from Heart Songs - Poetic Verses From The Heart)

Remember when each one of us is born, we are baby queens and baby kings...
our destiny is to become queens and kings...
so let me boost you up, you must rise up...
get up, head up lets head to the mountain!!!

Enjoy my poem:



To the Power of X ( An Excerpt from Heart Songs - Poetic Verses From The Heart):

I am a reincarnation of Shaka the Zulu and Malcom X

with each word I raise my spear and shield

I call to the people of color to rise up

so many years lost in time translation

when we failed as a people and a nation

get up, head up, way up the mountain

let your cry and voice be heard across the globe

each act and every move you make or take

raise it to the power of X

TAINTED, INTOXICATED OXYGEN

Something is wrong

with the oxygen

that we breathing

so much vibes

got me thinking

what is wrong

so much said

and little done

who will care

if one speaks

nobody is listening

its now routine

if i hate u

i ignore u

angry u become

no more peace

fiends in friends

release the hounds

they gotta piss

down on you

on those sneakers

Nike, hell no

take a hike

my words spike

those ear-drums

making you wanna

grab the headphones

that you gotta

the other option

go walk out

take a stroll

out there somewhere

smell the roses

ditch the coke

you fully grown

no more milk

you got weaned

no blame game

you are warned

accept the defeat

you know what

nothing adds up

were are breathing

tainted, intoxicated oxygen

grab gas masks

coz we gotta

Seize the day

I am always there for you child



I am always there for you child







Through all of it, that is thick or thin



In good and in bad times



But you will certainly know i am there







When night falls and its dark







For i will shine and lit the sky!© 2011 Just Ice











ARISE MY DEAR SOUL



Arise my dear soul !

wipe the tears of past

today is a new day

rise with the sun

let it massage you

empowering you

to recognize the click

that puts to rest

pain, sadness, hurt

woven into a basket

soiled with sweat

that drips when

souls lose their vibe

lost in a island of hate

making the self dread

must it push and shove

when it sees not

whats within and around it

each second the clock clocks

somehow with all said and done

dust itself up it must

if you are to remain in motion

as you are rising my dear !

HEAR THE CALLING



Hear the calling

let it plant seeds
of knowledge
that will
awaken things
deeply embedded
at the core
of your being
that will drive you
to a sphere
over and about
that which you
understand
with the eyes
of the self
that
have become
accustomed
to hypothetical
ideals
some of which
are based on
hypocritical faiths
televised
within
the daily clip
to blind you
through lack
of critical
ropes that

act as an
axis mundi

to link
the physical
to the spiritual
magnetic field
in your life
in which lies
the answer
to the question
Why are you born
into this world,
only to die from
this world?

TAINTED ROLE MODELS IN DA HOOD, GOT ME SEARCHING FOR ROLE MODELS IN HOLLYWOOD

Tainted role models in da hood 
got me tripping, falling and smoking
a-one, a-two a-three spliffs 
making me, leading me,
to soar, to take wing
to an all time high
with each huff and puff
and i start to seek
the man in the mirror
to no avail, for i wear a veil
becoming a mask
that is wanting me
to be something
i am not
so i make and take
a-four, a-five a-six
large pulls of da spliffs
and i huff and puff
with a double vision
forcing me
to be
my own hostage
lost in an ally
in the ghetto hood
hearing blues and souls
from ancient bar
that survived Katrina
and if feel the
cavity of my chest
surrender and
is caving in
and i see
clip of my life
rolling before
my eyes
and i start to choke
so instead of getting an inhaler
i make a quick one more spliff
and i pull one after another
a-one a-two and one more pull
i loose consciousness
when i regain composure
i see myself stand at the pearls gate
and i see the arch angel
he calls me in and and says
tainted role models in da hood
got you tripping, falling and smoking
now you looking for roles modes
in the pull of a-one a-two a-three spliffs
making you, leading you
to search for role models in Hollywood!

Heart Songs - Elevating Minds

Heart Songs - Elevating Minds

With blinkers coming into existence

the poet's world moans and groans

making it shrink and the poet think

how one must react to the new reality

the field has become farrow one must till

so armed with emotions the poet grabs his quill

with it he ploughs rhythmically on dosages of ink

that surely will make his audience blink as they think

is this poet still within the borderline deemed to be sane

so many words will form and excite bubbles in their minds


as they realize that the poet was never is not at all insane

but simply on a quest to cultivate and elevate the minds

Seek Nothing That

Seek Nothing That

seek nothing that
hurt you and others
for it will bring hate

seek nothing that
separates people
for it brings jealousy

seek nothing that
leads to discrimination
it makes u racist nut

seek nothing that
disturbs the peace
it leads to conflict

seek nothing that
that makes no sense
it makes you an idiot

seek nothing that
you do not need
use what you have !

DANCE AS DAWN COMES


When the hour is right in response to the universal ticking

the sun, wakes up as the universe becomes a hive of new activity

thrusting the dawn of a new day on all creatures, great and small

which exude a warm carpet of rainbows full of blessings and miracles

to bless the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful,

the poor and the rich signaling to them, of the arrival of a time to finish old moves

and learn new moves and just dance...dance...dance, as they take to the dance floor ...LIFE !!!

JUST LIKE THE SUN



Just like the sun

I want to shine

To both my friends and enemies

The poor and the rich

The believers and the atheists

The smart ones and the dumb ones

The heroes and the villains

The hunters and the sitting ducks

The masters and the slaves

Heads or tails it won't matter

For my job is to shine

Throughout all the ages

Which may be lost in time!
