You wanna break bread with the god?
I'll entertain you, give my goon a nod,
Slid you the menu and suggested the best,
Why you nervous with your decision, like this a test?
You wanna work for me, you gotta keep it simple,
And never be late at the valet with the rental,
In any business the most important thing is people,
Drugs, food, or cars, no matter, just don't be a sequel,
Another yes man might be my death man,
Just be you,
Never lie, da#m you try, and we be cool.
My office hours are from 9 to 5.

Cake for breakfastCake for breakfast Celebrations leave me breathless Tenacity and the capacity to accomplish goals The village that raised me had various roles Church, school, home, even the corner store! It only took a little time and effort, but they gave me so much more At the celebration of my graduation, I greeted and thanked nearly everyone The next morning, I woke up early from my night of fun And enjoyed a piece of my graduation cake - yum!

Politics and Discourse are deadPolitics and Discourse are officially dead Folks right, left, and center all see red Everyone lies because we made our bed By consuming social and traditional media that only agrees with our opinions As our algorithms and AI transforms us into minions Today your opinions only matter if you have money or fame That’s not the way American democracy should work, what a shame! |
Dreams are like DiamondsMake them believe! Ideas to reality, work from success Critics first doubted, but now they’re impressed! You had to make them believe Like some fairy tale lead Years of sweat and winkles on rolled up sleeves Hands get filthy building impossible dreams! Grime plus work equals births the greatest of things Dirt under your nails Cloudy water in pails You got it out ‘da mud…Like a worm or a bug! Persistence paid off, in due time Doubters bare witness, once your treasure began to shine! Thoughts sprouted and grew like a tree High in the clouds, but below most can’t see The roots that anchor and nourish reality Them haters stay jelly than a mug! A prescription for this affliction, use this song like a drug! And… <Chorus> Make them believe… What you can see

2 types of people on a sinking boat…There are only two types of people on a sinking boat Those who save the boat and others who save themselves Nobody knows who they will be, or what compels One to risk life and limb, or take their chances with sharks and whales If everyone decided to labor for the greater good The chances of success would improve the likelihood That all may survive, patching holes or finding a bucket But who am I kidding, most folks will probably just say #%?! it! |
Why do we want to be what we’re not?I want to be what I’m not Not what I’ve already done and been I want to do what I can’t, meaning I want to win! All of the wishes unrealized, and goals unmet The unsuccessful challenges lost, to make up for years of desire and regret I want to be what I’m not But I don’t even know how! If I found a way to do it, it would it make me smile? Why can’t I be content with me? When I look in the mirror, I don’t 'love' what I see Because all the success that I’ve achieved so far Isn’t enough to make me believe, in my life’s movie, that I am the star! If my life is someone else’s wildest dream Then why do I have a desire for a new scheme? If I became everything that I’m currently not Would ... |
Ode to the Rat Catcher!At the Robin Hood Renaissance Fair, a rat catcher greeted us by the entrance She cradled one like a baby rat, fully entranced She had a few toy rats attached to her dress with a string Rocking her baby and engaging with her pack, she began to sing This actress never once broke character, sitting on the cold ground Half way through the event, she walked by (with her rats in tow) making a squeaking sound She explained (in English) that she was bilingual, and fully fluent in ‘rat’ I thought to myself, ‘damn, this young lady can really act!’ The third time we saw her, my daughter and her friends decided to interact She wasn’t selling toys or anything, she was just really dedicated to her art Kudos to her and whomever hired her to play this historical accurate part! |
Anything is possibleDreams and nightmares do come true true People still escape prison, often out of the blue! Trump became president twice, and he wasn’t even qualified! Eventually we won’t be remembered after we’ve died The unhoused and folks with mansions differ by opportunity and money How both are given and taken ain’t really funny! Hard work, talent, drive, silver spoons, and the genetic lottery Isn’t a guarantee that you still won’t end up in poverty! God’s grace, choices, employment, or even a medical bill Could change your life in an instant, but here’s the deal Anything is possible, just remember this rhyme Find your joy, love your life, and make good use of what’s left of your time! |
Don’t stare into the orb!Tools for humanity, managed by AI An orb will scan the retina of your eye To prove that you are human, but honestly why? Should you create a binary number, known as an iris code? Plug your uniqueness into the matrix, and watch all the chaos unfold For $43 dollars worth of Worldcoin? Users may download an app to join Why do I need technology to confirm that I have a soul? And to tell me something that I already know? Green screens, Windows, Apps, now a virtual partner in crime… Billionaires want your secrets and more of your time Attention is the new currency, not your dime Drain your essence and squeeze your mind With news, entertainment, opinions and ads to consume More products, subscriptions, and services, backwards from May thru to June $43 dollars, just bait on a hook Cheese in a trap, intriguin... |
If I survive this crisis…If I survive this crisis I’ll know and do better next time Give up my self righteousness and vices Pay down my debit and save every damn dime! As the time passes, months feel like days My path was once so certain, now it feels like a maze Cognizant of my responsibilities, yet I fail almost every time To prepare, plan, and make forward progress On the gridiron of life, I lost thousands of yards behind scrimmage line! To clear today’s hurdles and roadblocks I must be as ruthless as a crocodile and as cunning as a fox! As tomorrow’s obstacles mutate, we no longer have immunity Even if I survive, what about others in our community? The unhoused, sick, shut in elders, and impoverished youth? Who don’t have the luxuries of time, money, and power learn the truth That life is a short but... |
Move mountainsMountains of grief, mountains of debt Be it lack of belief, or lack of respect Challenging heights, seen and unseen As you climb higher, both nightmares and dreams Map trails to your rubicon Fear can program or constrict life like a python The point of no return is just a man made fallacy Hindsight down your mountain’s view is a 20/20 reality Impossible is nothing, see we live miracles each day We can move mountains only if we believe and say Hope springs eternal like fountains Simply remove doubt and you too can move mountains
