All the lights in the sky
Can you believe that they all will just die?
We are cursed and blessed with this…
As our own light will too be extinguished
Somehow you and I were wished into existence!
I don’t know how, but for a moment, we just are
And soon we won’t be, like every uncountable star
Lights once shining bright
Burning through time, across the void of night
Cosmic graves that the future may soon see
Or ignore, and perhaps replace me

Like every uncountable starAll the lights in the sky Can you believe that they all will just die? We are cursed and blessed with this… As our own light will too be extinguished Somehow you and I were wished into existence! I don’t know how, but for a moment, we just are And soon we won’t be, like every uncountable star Lights once shining bright Burning through time, across the void of night Cosmic graves that the future may soon see Or ignore, and perhaps replace me  |
No ‘Trump Account’ for my kid!$1k free in college savings from the government... Why does Trumpelstiltskin occupy my mind free from rent? Tainted with Cadet Bone Spurs’ last name This college savings plan idea still feels like a stain A life and career built on lies, racism and false fame Another con? Another grift, dammit don! Years from now, will she frown or smile? When compound interest yields a modest money pile Should she benefit from this blood money? Should I lie, ‘I did the best that I could, honey?’ If I don’t invest, she’ll be thousands behind her MAGA peers And we’ll be deep in debt for dozens of years The whole system is fixed If I do do it, Mango Mussolini wins again, get the gist? The system seems to benefit the mostly affluent and white There have never been laws to legislate their entire life George Washington didn’t need to register to vo... |
Chipotle NapkinsOrdered 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 Brown napkin, multi-purpose&... |
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 costMy 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 nowSharks 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 churchI 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 seedChristians 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 mythHow 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... |
