Walkin The Walk

Remember growin up in the

rough and tumble inner city

Our growin up Baby Boomer generation

none of that gang killings jus raw

down survival that was the common

nitty gritty

Food on the table a place with a roof

thats how we grew up

no cars no bycycles it was all about

them feet and legs city bus or walk

you will never know the meaning of good ole days

until you old and grey you will look back

smile and say

Walking the walk wasnt bad at all

FResh out the Army right out of Vietnam walking

was our transpo We were listening to Walking In Rhythm

by the Blackbyrds back then you tube got it

Fallen For You Again

Have A Great Summer Everyone

Fall and Winter writing session comes to an end 

may dribble dable now and then but again am out

the door hit the highway more life to explore

Leavin with a favorite relatable song from my favorite 

poet Sly Stone so far ahead of his time the song from

the great LP Fresh Thankful and Thoughtful Youtube got it

Social Media/Egos/Agendas

Social media a ego driven

stage

different folks with different

strokes

always folks want to place

their agenda in the maze

No more need for liquid courage (alcohol)

to speak their mind

behind a computer screen some cower

no live face to face conversation

no way for someone to discourage

Instead of grabbin the mic to begin

the buzz of agenda

of whatever on their mind

they hit some typing keys

and the agenda begin

When I see so much media agenda trendin

all over the place I think of Willie Hutch song from the LP 

Mark of the Beast title of song Dont you let nobody tell

you how to do your thing.  Absolutely love these lyrics to

this song just because its good for you dont have to b good for u so dont let nobody tell you how to do your thing long title but youtube got it

Neighborhood

Nothin quite like the

neighborhood you grew up

in

No matter how old u get

u just never forget

Whether it was indifferent good

or bad

it was that place you

called home

As i have grown old over

the years 

never had no fears 

going back to the

old neighborhood

Old friends many have

passed away most of

course have moved away

but my old neighborhood

will always b a part of

me

The Brothers Johnson song stomp the 6 plus minute

version will always b the type of neighborhood I grew up

in as they sing in the neighbor hood dont it fell alright lets roll youtube got it

Free Flow

From the mind

to the hand

to the pen

this is how this one

will begin

No write down on paper

straight out the gate

to the plate

Words like the world of

animation

new ideas new creations

begin to spread like

sprayed amunition

Taking time from the always

go go go

some free flowing time

good treatment good mental

cleanse

simple free flow

A free flow song for me will b Float On by the group The Floaters

youtube got it

March Madness

My Winter ending

special treat

nothin like playin

or watchin great

players compete

My Basketball Jones is

now on

Forget about gettin in

touch with me by phone

you wont b seein me

in the street

Am at the house

at home

March Madness you

tantalize my day

as I watch on into

the night

March Madness

next couple weeks

you my soulful delight

Havin played basketball from age

12 to 38 talkin whole court loves

me some music and basketball

In vietnam we played all the time

when we had some down time

played in our combat jungle boots

Back in my cut up days listned to

this song by Cheech and Chung song 

titled Basketball Jones believe me folks 

that was me its on youtube

Adjustments

Its that part of life

if U dont adapt to it

U will b left behind you

will b sidelined

It will b left up to U

to decide if its just a

matter of time before you

make adjustments to leave

certain ways certain things

behind

or will U b among the many many

who chose not to adjust the whole

while here on earth

U missed out on so much

because you did not stay in

touch with adjustments  you didnt

keep up with world inventions

These self check outs everywhere now

get with it or keep it movin get

out folks way

The new SC gun totin law

some real real adjustment time

The poem If by Rudyard Kipling changed

and as wrote this poem I was listening to Poetry Man by Phebe Snow
