The Dreaded 403

Forbidden thats what pops

up many times and times again

always interupting a rhythmic flow

U may have been in

Over the years it comes and go

but its very frustrating U know

so I slip and slide in when I can

before the dreaded 403 shows 

up again

This song is what I do when forbidden 403 pops up

I do like the song from a great LP titled Osibisa this song

is from that LP its called Move ON (great lyrics everybody progressing but getting no where and When you find your combination U know its just a art

If U Can Imagine

If U can imagine the

magic of image

   created by the imagination

If U can imagine all U want

all U need created from a thought

faster then internet speed

If U can imagine leads to visualization

Imagination a precious commodity

that built great civilizations

If U Can Imagine visualizations leads to

the reality you seek

If u can imagine images of peace

throughout the nations 

                                    only

If U can imagine

Such is the power the magic of

imagunation

                    only

If U can Imagine

A Fathers day story 

way back in 1970 I am boarding plane

headed to Vietnam after 30 day leave

America B Thankful For Here Come The Judge

Aint we glad we gottum

not the ones that r suppose

to b Supreme the ones that work

for not the people but for a racist administration

tarnishing Blacks Minorities Special needs and everyday folks

with their for whites only policies but we got the

local the Federal Lower courts who r over ruling

the king and his detrimetal polices and executive orders

takin the trump name off the JFK building restoring

monuments in state parks been removed thinkin

they can erase slavery in this country like it never existed

like they never put small pox in Blankets gave to Native Americans

as a gift like that never happened

trying to erase that slavery never happened beaten

with whips hung in trees

Even in the wild the judge has the final say

the vultures dressed in their black robe grey collar

will clear up any road kill

Spur Of The Moment

Go Spurs a forever fan you guys

Just a moment to take some time

bout the game when that person arrived

to upset the whole city this divider of people

with the Adams family cabinet ultra creepy

He was cheered as only New Yorkers can but

they were thousands and thousands chorus of

cheering only New Yorkers called these cheers

roundly loudly boo boo booing

This spur of the moment from a man ducked

the draft 5 times during the Vietnam war

The kicker is said he had bone spurs
