Faith and perseverance
are the only hopes...
there are no guarantees.
Only a reassuring sense,
by ones ability to distinguish
between good and evil...
And sufficient trust in others
to live at peace
with oneself.

Rain songTime... spoke to Space said, i feel empty without you
Space did not reply just hung there like a cloud
signaled it felt the same thing, too
like a war of the gods an epic scene,
opening before us in a glorious display
a lightning strike sends raw power of brutal beauty
tearing a whole between clouds and earth
to a place on earths face never touched before
could have, would have... should have, does not apply
didn't strike you this time but you don't need to die
so take heed, please go inside...
its a war... between the sky the wind, clouds and Seas
howling winds... |
Uncurse youi am your bastard child one and the same...
i will be the one to lead the dream team to fulfill a promise you made to yourself
you'd hoped could see your prodigy As masters of the game
collecting the bill for the pain and the suffering
instill a sense of honor to cover up the spill...
which stained your claim to a seat in Heaven
you could not fulfill without falling in shame
because you didn't just couldn't help yourself
and put it in the will a seed cast aside
what pride could never kill your propensity to violence
has been raised to both a science and art ... |
Deaths CallIn the long dark corridors of the halls of death a door opens, to a chaotic scene
full of torch lights, men and women, oblivious to the intrusion
haivng a good time laughing, singing, drunk
Come all! join in battle death holds a celebration
Show your skills dance to the battle of will
against your other mothers brothers those you must kill
Because, because if you don't kill them they will kill your sons and daughters
In the halls of the brotherhood of man all are equals now in death's grip no more
freedom from their divergent causes reasons left to their graves, choices made
A Valhallan scene where heroes of all the righteous battles
ever fought throughout e... |
Damned Nation
Nothing new to see here... Tweaking their hold on the worldly Got their hands on the reigns, calling shots... Got me wondering to my frustration Sitting here thinking... Should corruption, degradation of justice, Hatred for any or no reason ...game Some folks calling for another civil war Just who would it profit? For a new power grab? Let the poor fight among themselves |
DrainsWhenever they speak with you everything is stiff and formal
as if they are afraid of making a mistake
yet, when they speak to you alone they're relaxed and open
they are noisy and nosey at best
rude, crude and choicy about insignificant things
they expect you to fail at best you're a test case
tease you, berate you at every opportunity
even if, few and far between
choose willingly not to accept you in their circles
because they know if they did you'd know how truly shallow they are
all pretentious and petty... while sitting pretty, ... |
LethargyWhat is legacy? to me... wealth and pleasure
personal treasures gained in a loving partnership
looking back through my history adding my tract
to all the other tracts of our ancestors
good, bad, happy, sad every single One
to what i imagine they might have done
if i used my natural intelligence in the matter to determine
where would i fit in if i were the one...
my ancestors did with what they had
that i've done spent or wasted
fought battles i'd thought i'd won, yet lost
victories i have blown... |
Dumb luck!As a young child, alone i would hike many miles
on military reservations exploring along unmarked pathways
on trails which stuck in my mind, how to get back before dark
not just a walk in the park never a care, How? Why?
not quite defiance, self-reliance, perhaps
never a second thought for what if... or what might
nothing i was taught prepared me for that
bring a young black child with a yearning to learn
what i needed to know about animals
with nothing but a natural sense of adventure
as a driving force, a hope and a slight semblance&n... |
IndoctrinationWhat started out as 2025 Action Plan, Rob America taking America back with a side note, a so called civil war Nazis and supremacists applied, ICE long planned by the heritage foundation so they did the next best thing Although, not during was clearly... which hit America dropped on US, with In God We Trust
too cool to be plainly stated by the fall guy in the spring |
Run!Run!
grabbed my bike by the handlebars
ran in the direction of home still running
jumped full stride landing on the seat
feet found the pedals, fast
pushed against them strong, pumping long strokes
pushing against them fast as i can
dark clouds racing across the skies
street lights flicker to life in waves it seems
hearing far distant thunder blasts offset from the lightning flash
makes for a frightening scene foreboding signs
this is not a dream
a cold blast of frigid air drops down upon us
strong winds kick up loose dust sending ghost trails racing... |
MomentumAlmost motionless, we start taking deep breaths, slowing our hearts
as visionaries we visualize perfection lean forward into the wind...
in a single heartbeat pulse, begin shoot for an ever rising tempo
like lightning... we strike burning down track
maintaining intensity as long as we are able
at an ever more demanding pace
good thing it's not life or death...
lucky for us it's only a race
