Warlords in a
War torn
NationYes
Amerikka
Even when
Looking down
your gun barrel
yours not mine
We not scared
of you
Big Corporate fools
No Ones by the
Twos and few
Opinions to differ
I don't beg for my
Life not given
Yet not taken
Overseer henchmen
fake by the dozens
first you was
then you
wasn't aligned
by a Party
or you was Liberal
means you drink both
Tea and Coffee
Accept more envelopes
than the Post Office
King and Queen of the kickback
Meanwhile direct back to the
Ground Troops
Hoodies Knapsacks
Full throttle on charge
No more baby bottle
Sippy cup
Amerikka prepare
for the hiccup
No more binge and purges
Every Dish Nation controversy
Scandal thought up
Gone get brought back up
Mess Amerikka made
thrown across the table spread
KORNBREAAD
DEY DONE ALREADY SHOT
EM DOWN

CASCADE

She's Indian
Native
Eastern
Indigenous
Yet
She's been
White washing
White fading
Her  fine featured face
wearing I can't make up
my mind to cover
up her beauty
from the inside out
she eats fancy greek yogurts
but has yet to reclaim her
Yoga outside her crammed
Studio apartment
she staggers to work out
her constant contradictions
of other Women auctioning her hair
to be brought and  sold by  the bag
in a Korean Store Sown in a scalp by
Africans for African Americans
Who all are Culturally  exempt from
Knowing each other unless they are being served in a fast food court of common pleas

Subway Blues

Subway Blues
I aint got me no
Daddy Blues
how much of my sugar
could she use blues
can't sit wit a Queen
for Sweet tea blues
never been to the Delta Blues
Bluefish and grits blues
No trumpet blues
only one guitar riff
Crazy blues
way too flat hungry
banker shoes
all these New Yorkers
brand new soled shoes
done gave me the subway blues
transfer from
Manhattan
to Bronx
thru
Harlem Blues

Country tis of thee

this piece is not about gender
masculine nor feminine
not race class nor status
it's about symbols

SHE BECAME AMERIKKA'S CONCUBINE
SENT OVER  BY THE FRENCH
TO BE FUCKED PENETRATED
BY EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY
SHE THOUGHT WOULD UPHOLD
AND PROTECT HER
INSTEAD SHE WAS USED AND ABUSED
TATTERED AND TORN  INTEGRITY
NEVER WAS SHE TO SYMBOLIZE HOPE
NOR REPRESENT  THE LAST BASTION
OF FREEDOM
MS. LIBERTY
UPON HER ARRIVAL
SHE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
FASELY ACCUSED OF TREASON
DISFIGURED MORPHED LIED
TO AND RECHISELED
SO THEN A THOUSAND EYES
COULD GAZE UPON HER BREAST
ADOPTING BASTARDS FROM ALL OVER
CLINGING TO BROKEN PROMISES
SHATTERED DREAMS AND FALSE DOCTRINE
SPOKEN RHETORIC FROM THE SAME
LUNATICS HERETICS
THAT SHE WAS WARNED ABOUT
IN HER FORMAL PAGENTRY
COME UPPANCE
SEEMS LIKE SHE HAS FALLEN
DOWN A SPIRAL STAIRCASE
TWISTED STEPS TO THE LOWER
DUNGEONS AND  PRISON ESCAPE
SHE ALREADY SWAM OCEANS TO AVOID
THE  ONLY POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCES
WAS THE WARM DECEPTION STRAIGHT
OUT THE CRATE
SHE WAS NOT TELEVISED
UNTIL A LATER DATE
ALL SHE COULD REMEMBER
WAS THE JAZZ TUNE PLAYING
IN HER HEART
NOW SHE KEEPS DOO WOP AND
WEARS A DOO RAG
AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
PERIOD
THE BITCH BLEEDS.   

NO JUSTICE KNOW PEACE

Afrikka Cries for Amerikka

All I could
do
to keep
from crying
was~cry

AQM

Loss of Appetite

Amerikka
Please don't
Pull the Pork
I  might not have
recovered from the
Wool  pulled over
Mine eyes
Confession of a Lamb Chop
Hold the Mint Jelly

Around da world in 80 days

So some decided that
the world would be
Divided between the
haves and the have nots
These are the same folks
Believed the world was flat too
Not in half

Social Artist

No I'm not
Chasing around
with a Race Religion
Science Politics
Story in all it's Glory
When you also
have a Social Agenda
Expressed through a
Creative Process
some call Art
that then bridges a Cultural Gap
there no longer is a Divide
Social Order comes together from
One Sister and Brother to Another
Kindred Spirit

Push on Mami

She pushed 3 Beauties
in a Carriage
Her twin and a genuine
Smile even tho
Daddy  been gone
for a while
the only ring she wears is
the one hangs round her
her heart that
aches since past mistakes
separated her and baby child
from Young Buck Wild
and his ill fated marriage to the same streets claimed her Daddy

Evolution

Evolution is hard
hard as life and death
Revolution is easy
Change is a must
We evolve into it
Resistance makes
both seem difficult

MOTHER'S FULL MOON

HOWLIN WOLF
WHOSE AFRAID OF
THE BIG BAD WOLF
SHE IS ...HIS MOTHER
FEARS FOR HER SON
OVERPROTECTS HIM AT THE
EXPENSE OF HER HEALTH
AND DEPLETES HER WEALTH
USES HER WORDS WITH A STEALTH TONGUE
AND CARRIES A TEFLON SHIELD
STILL IT ONLY REINFORCES
THE SAME FEAR SHE'S DEFLECTED
DOESN'T REALIZE SHE HAS FED
THE BIG BAD WOLF SINCE HER SON 
WAS A LIL BOY
TRUTH BE TOLD
HE IS THE BIG BAD WOLF 
ALL ALONG
WHY IS HE AFRAID OF HIMSELF
THE LIL BOY
WHO BECAME THE BIG BAD WOLF
SO LONG AGO
WHEN HE LEARNED HE HAD TO BECOME A MAN
EVEN WORST THAN THAT IS THE FACT
THAT HIS MOTHER DOESN'T RECOGNIZE
THAT WOLVES RUN IN PACKS
AND THAT SOLVES THE MYSTERY
OF HOW HER SON CHOOSES HIS FRIENDS
SINCE EARLY CHILDHOOD
THE ONES THAT SEEMED FEROCIOUS
EVEN VICIOUS
BUT THEY TOO
WERE LIL BOYS..SHAKEN
CONFIDENCE TAKEN
SO THEY SHARPEN
THEIR FANGS 
AND BECOME GANGS
AKA WOLFPACKS

My family
has made me
pay the price
for living
in Amerikka
*since 1963
I won't be able
to pay these
bills anymore
nor will I
play the game
of being fed
from the bottom
don't dare deal
me cards from
under the table
hands where I
can see them
Nobody move nobody
get hurt
Yeah right Grandma
don't even trip

Distortion

Yeah you may
want to go to
War
Claim yourself my
Enemy
however you can
never be my
Opponent
War is with myself
Challenge is to be
ready for all attacks
Battle is with my own
Demons that would
weaken me from the inside
and allow you to claim
false victory

TRAFFIC CONTROLLED

                                                     You either want or have
                                                     all the answers
                                                     but live with no questions
                                                     Created a world of self  doubt
                                                     that wasn't faced yet
                                                     just~ covered~up
                                                     by fear and pretend
                                                    Made seeking on the path
                                                    to understanding a difficult task
                                                    allowed diligence to be removed
                                                    by controlling thoughts
                                                    and ready made positions...built
                                                    upon hills
                                                    no one has ever climbed
                                                    to see the mountains
                                                    of almost wonders
                                                    that were self created  mysteries
                                                   told by myths

Black Out

Black out
Society loaded
the chamber
he only
pulled the trigger
to his emotions
Sigh

HOT PEPPER

what does every school girl

and senior lady

have in common

they all have

one more

double dutch jump

in them

when someone

yells mouse!

RENT PARTY

step into the parlor of
 potluck and promise
let me cook you up 
some gumbo 
of truth not 
too harsh
followed by sundaes 
and lemonade
with edible flowers
like 
billie holiday
miles davis
maya angelou
amiri baraka
words of wisdom
not too easily 
digested 
gil scott- heron
dancing to
james brown
while chanting
on 
nelson mandela
i hope to
make the proper
salutation(s)
when cookin
up in the kitchen
another soul mission
invite only
yet 
open admissions
just bring another 
dish that's 
flavored with hope
and savors
the moments
we have to
pay the cost
for these freedoms 
here
some so short 
and brief
other blessings
as long as a parade
Lord knows
imma get these
bills paid

Leftovers

You felt
and smell
different with
marinated thoughts
of
tender mercies
aroused sensual
passion flowers
in blossom
barely honey
dipped
while moistened
by
Organic Musk
sprayed  to the
rhythmic
Sound of Native
Body Talk
She speaks
I Listen to
a Voice
with a
juicy tongue
flowing
forth
heartsprung
conversations
aka
Conversions

BLACK NOTE POSTED IN A WOMAN'S WORLD
