Humans vs. Primates

Chipotle Napkins

Ordered a bowl and some chips

Passed on the cheese and the dips

Ordered in person, you know, so they get it right!

Man, Imma sleep so good tonight!

Picked up a fork, then looked to my left and my right

Grabbed a stack of Chipotle napkins and got out of sight!

Grab and pack em 

Wipe and dab em 

Brown napkin, multi-purpose 

Good on every surface!

On the highway, I cracked open a cola 

When it exploded all over the windshield, thought my life was over! 

It must have been shaken or dropped, but I didn’t stress 

I grabbed a wad of Chipotle napkins, then caught my breath

Quickly wiped a circle clear, so I could pull over 

My interior’s ruined, but at least I’ll see another year older!

Grab and pack em 

Wipe and dab em

Here today…

We visited some dinosaurs at a museum last week

Read about their habitat and characteristics that made them unique 

Jurassic extinctions, evolution and climates unkind

Lifetimes long preceded

Time remains undefeated 

I pondered these fossils as I touched a 5 million year old bone

I told my daughter, years in the future others may visit our own!

The truth comes at a tremendous cost

My flow’s Ebola

My pen’s MRSA

Word play might just murk ya

Freestyles cause a crisis 

Addictive versus like vices

No cure, just bad news, debt, and high prices

Old school like a Ford Taurus

Spittin’ staphylococcus, COVID, and C. auris

That’s viral, bacterial, and some fungus...

Limited sales, but my catalog’s humongous!

Reading my lyrics like it's webMD

Nosophobia, got you asking, ‘what’s wrong with me?’

Rhymes so sick, the CDC put out an A.P.B.

No studio, cuz’ the feds keep recording me!

They put out a contract, then ordered a hit

Analyzing all my songs, hoping that the charges might stick

I let them bottle and sell my art like a commodity 

Then I exposed the industry and mocked all the hypocrisy!

Bu...

Why did people of color let white people win?

My rhymes are weapons so lethal 

One day they might just change people

Sow seeds so potent, they might even thwart evil!

We tried in vain to 'just all get along'

We was singing the same hymn, but they got all the words wrong!

Actin’ scared and greedy, while putting on airs

They stole people, religion, and music that was never theirs!

Murdered millions in Africa, and still (to this day) mine diamonds, gold, and cobalt

Europe owes Africa reparations with trillions in interest by default! 

Why does China's President Xi Jinping still wear a European suit?

Why did Indians and Pakistanis trade juttis for a European boot?

Why do African and Asian people use chemicals to lighten their skin?

Why did people of color, just let white people win?

fleapocalypse now

Sharks are 50 to 100 million years older than trees!

Guess which came first, dogs or fleas?

Fleas did, 65 million years ago

Back then, they drank blood from dinosaurs though

Dinosaurs would be cool, but we could all do without fleas

It’s difficult to imagine a world without trees

No shade, fruit, wood, paper, pollen or leaves?

In recorded history which has killed more people: fleas, sharks, or trees?

It’s fleas (200 million people = Bubonic plague), then trees, then sharks, but nobody ever believes!

We ignore the smallest things that we should fear

And worry about the biggest things that don't matter

That is INSANE!

trash & broken glass around my church

I saw a deacon picking up trash around our church’s parking lot

So I grabbed a broom to sweep up empty bags/vials of crack rock

I picked up a dozen mini bottles of alcohol until the grounds were immaculate 

A rebellious seed

Christians praise a trinity but are monotheistic

Media is fiction we worship because its unrealistic 

America was stolen and became rich off the back of slaves

Those thieves found heaven on earth then buried their sins in gilded graves

White folks turned black music, religion, and culture into a commodity 

When I strive to reclaim our culture, I’m ostracized as an oddity 

Black American with no homeland infused with our captors genes against our will

Know that our playing field is just another steep hill

I’m more African than American, so I’m going to embrace it!

Each time white America lies, I’m going to erase it!

Born with a mark that we can’t hide and a soul that we can’t free

The diaspora was a violent storm, but I’m a rebellious seed ripped away from the mother tree

Evolution is a myth

How did time convert Morganucodons into humans?

Over 200 million years ago, just walking around dinosaur ruins

A rat like shrew

Somehow evolved and grew

Into whales, platypuses, elephants, and apes

And after millions of B.C. dates

Into 8 billion babies, ladies, and guys

While roaches, sharks, crocodiles, and dragon flies

All stayed the same, surprise!

What if evolution is just another ‘accepted’ myth

Bones in rocks, educated guesses, I’ll ask you this…

How can we explain or discover something that could never exist?

What if we’re not really here?

You’re not really even reading this poem, can you sense the fear?

Of the unknown, nothing really exists for long in space and time

What if we are just random th...

The best part of me is you!

Thank you, for all you do

I haven’t said that nearly enough though, true?

For years, as our time together flew

Daily, you patiently lend me a clue 

To help me win, even when I never knew

That you truly deserve the most respect due

Even if you may sometimes feel like a shrew

Then, your guidance annoyed and made me blue

Now, understand why you do what you do

I just realized as our love grew

That the best part of me, is you!

Stuck in the Zipper

Summer camp 1983, we just left the pool

Rushing to catch the bus, I grabbed my shorts off of a stool

I pulled the zipper of my cut off shorts much to quick

And managed to fasten up all my kibble and bits!

Unable to release both my family jewels and thing-a-ling 

Every stiff legged step caused an excruciating sting!

As the last kid on the bus, my eyes watered, but I held my head up high

For some relief, I pressed my towel firmly against my thigh

I quickly plopped down and somehow managed to free one coin purse

I was only seven, but the pain forced me to yell out a deep curse

When I realized that I sat next to a beautiful girl, I almost forgot all about my pain

She said hi, then asked me my name

As I turned to face her, tears streamed down my face, so she asked me what was wrong

Embarrassed, but desperate, I moved my towel and showed her my dong!

She laughed, and sai...
