Black rain

"

Black rain

i have seen the clouds forming

the tables are turning

pendulums in swing

from Cape to Cairo

thunder in the making

let it rain, here comes the rain

there is a sweet pain within the rain

the soil is to dry, hear the baby cry

no pain no gain let me sow seeds

i have seen black rainSahara and Kahari bare dancing

Black reign birthed in the rain

after marks from the lynching

dead but not lost souls sing

swimming is them

when they heardthe voice in the grove

wade in the water childrenwithin you cascades the spirits

dare not to be touched

when the time is not near

for if disturbed nothing will remain the same

i have seen Black rain

the reigning thunder in the rain

Black rain, let it rain.

If Only They Knew

If only they knew
never to dis
that 
which
they do not know
may be society
would be weaned
of milk
and
remove
soiled pampers
that look great
from the outside
but contaminating the insides
leading
one to wear a facade
smiles
in a group
needing to fit in
and be cool with the peers
losing
the uniqueness
of the individual
as one
becomes a follower
to a monotonous
beat
serving
a few
controlling
the rules of
association
and engagement
making them
appear
to be
larger than life
role models
when all in all
mercy be upon
these
lost caricatures
wanting
to be demigods
so they build
diverse pyramids
of diversions
to have
the sheep
moving
in
a single file
on the mayhem
the road
that is
grass is greener with us!

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 !

Blessed New day

A
new
day
rises
replacing
the old one
bringing its own
minerals, jewels
to inspire
to nourish
to bless
to feed
your mind
your heart
your soul
determined by
your being here
in the present
the here
the there
that exist now
so resist not
open your
hands
mind
heart
soul
on this
new
day!
