This Is Amerikkka

He was a hard man farming on dust

She was a good woman full of lust

All the children were sinners sweet

And none of them had shoes on their feet

This is Amerikkka the land of the free

This is Amerikkka stolen fair and square

This is Amerikkka do you look like me

This is Amerikkka I really don’t care

Hanging at the go-go without a care

God will forgive just say a prayer

He was drinking more than water

Onstage in a cage his eldest daughter

This is Amerikkka the land of the free

This is Amerikkka stolen fair and square

This is Amerikkka do you look like me

This is Amerikkka I really don’t care

He put a dollar bill in her G-string

He whispered let’s keep this a private thing

She smiled flattered with the attention

Like doing the crime without detention

This is Amerikkka the land of the free

This is Amerikkka stolen fair and square

This is Amerikkka do you look like me

This is Amerikkka I really don’t care

Lying at bed at night the troubles are keeping you from sleep

You have questions with no answers and mysteries deep

As you ponder tomorrow you pray that morning never comes

They’re planning another war you’re sure cause their beating the drums

Little Will insisted and then enlisted

Momma wailed with tears she resisted

The daughter’s stomach began to swell

In your mind you find that this is hell

This is Amerikkka the land of the free

This is Amerikkka stolen fair and square

This is Amerikkka do you look like me

This is Amerikkka I really don’t care

My Final Kiss Goodbye

I am sailing on the sea

I am soaring through the sky

I am searching for what will be

I am wondering the reason why

Yesterday has passed with a sigh

I gave you my final kiss goodbye

Today is sadness today I cry

I gave you my final kiss goodbye

Poets dream they cry out in rhyme

Love is grand but death is a crime

I am a traveler and I travel alone

You were the best thing I’d known

Yesterday has passed with a sigh

I gave you my final kiss goodbye

Today is sadness today I cry

I gave you my final kiss goodbye

When I wake up in the morning the bed is empty

When I journey through the day you are with me

I cannot escape this sadness I fight the tears

This world is insane madness I live with fears

I am sailing on the sea

I am soaring through the sky

I am searching for what will be

I am wondering the reason why

Yesterday has passed with a sigh

I gave you my final kiss goodbye

Today is sadness today I cry

I gave you my final kiss goodbye

At The Gates

Achilles is knocking on your golden door

Helen is simply a goodlooking whore

Homer is telling Bad Bart please no more

Who are the barbarians I’m no longer sure

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

Global warming is looking real these days

The rich man eats while the poor man pays

Obliterate, obliterate Doctor Who returns

Minimum wage is an outrage that burns

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

Samantha Stargazer is moving on up

George Bush still ain’t peeing in the cup

Blue this line is for you and Edgar too

I’d steal a chorus verse that’s what I’ll do

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

Androgena five is alive and she’s wearing shades in the night

They say we’re fighting for freedom now ain’t that a delight

Back to Troy let’s not annoy their joy with a wooden horse

We didn’t catch any fish so seaweed was served for the main course

Hell is real I can feel it in your soul

Why are we fighting for total control

Crappy Tech only cares about the bottom line

I’m dreaming of something that ain’t mine

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

Yellow

Headed out west until concrete became dirt

Words of the best poets confessed my same hurt

The radio played a song I didn’t know

When love is laid strong it’s hard to let go

She was a blonde naturally dyed

With a golden cross crucified

Yellow is the color of the stars

Yellow is melody of my guitars

I saw the sun set on the deep blue ocean

Judgment is done while we keep true emotion

Seagulls’ song so strong over the crashing waves

To whatever we serve we become slaves

She was a blonde naturally dyed

With a golden cross crucified

Yellow is the color of the stars

Yellow is melody of my guitars

I sought redemption in a lab making meth

For a formidable fee we dealt double death

I found religion while at a garage sale

If you never try well then you never fail

Checking out the checkout girl I was wrong

I offered salvation in the form of song

The witch queen of the dream had a crystal ball

You only want nothing when you got it all

She was a blonde naturally dyed

With a golden cross crucified

Yellow is the color of the stars

Yellow is melody of my guitars

I recall how I held you in the cold night

There is something deeper beyond wrong and right

Mysteries and wonders why did I let you go?

You were everything you were my yellow

She was a blonde naturally died

With a golden cross crucified

Yellow is the color of the stars

Yellow is melody of my guitars

In Memory Of Zyon Brooks

In Memory Of Zyon Brooks (2002-2021)

Zyon is a mountain never washed to the Sea

Zyon is memory wildly free

Laughter after the tragedy

Embracing the racing memory

And there is no sense and reason

I would accuse God of treason

But that would not serve the cause

Or help at all

Adam too had a tremendous fall

Where do we go from here?

When cheeks moisten with fresh tears?

And the pale ghost of agony appears

On the day he turns thirty?

Will the dagger hurt me? (I know it will, still)

The sin of what could have been

I reflect in all the honesty I can embrace

A bike rolling strolling down the road in a race

Children are children even at nineteen

Where have we been?

In Memory of Zyon Brooks

Read it now in the history books

A tragedy that could have been adverted?

What purpose has it served?

Beyond the fact that we are aware

That so many care

With kind word or prayer

Or even a shot of bliss

In a poem such as this

For I am facing the long goodbye

No stranger to tears a human being will cry

The bell tolls we’ve heard that line

But the sound is different when you claim it as mine

I hope Zyon your wings are strong enough now

To fly and even soar

Wherever you are there is no poverty, starvation or war

We’ll see you on the other side somehow

As gentle saints in remembrance take a bow

What is done is done

Farewell our beloved son

There is so much left to say

But that is left for another day

Modern Religion

I always wondered about the Planet of the Apes

I like the Orangutan the best

Civilized yet wild

Erotic ramifications

Bestiality?

Technically it would depend

On your over all philosophy

I'm talking evolution versus creation

Never mind intelligent design for now

However if one accepts the whole premise

It would exclude the rapture

I never read about intelligent primates

Dominating in the Bible

Perhaps that is in some book beyond Revelation

That didn't make the cut

Am I being sacrilegious?

Planet of the Apes offends no more then some sects

While in the Catholic Church the only Bible I read

Was the ten commandments

No false gods

No worshipping of idols

I am sure they were in the top three

So we go bow down to a statue of Mary

And light a candle

Now it gets strange

If you want to be perfect go sell all you have and give it to the poor!

Why nobody wants to be perfect!!

Hmm Imagine that!

What if one of those vastly intelligent gorillas

Had a vision of Fatima

And started his own cable T.V. show

Why we could incorporate a popular pass time as well

Bowling for prayers

Where if you get a strike your petitions will get through

Makes you wonder what happens in case of a turkey

I mean a giant intelligent turkey

Leading his people from the lands of America

Denouncing and defeating Thanksgiving

Which by the way is the celebration of genocide

It's getting all too real now isn't it?

A Fond Fair Thee Well

Brother Tyrone

God calls you home from His throne

To heaven beyond the skies blue

A petition none can refuse

I bid thee as you enter eternity

A fond fair thee well

Brother Tyrone

Grace will carry you into infinity

For God loves you more than you can tell

It seems life just begun

But your race has been run

With all your might

You have fought the good fight

Have no uncertainty

For God is full of mercy

The price paid on Calvary

Paid in full

A fond fair thee well

This world may be bitter and cruel

But Brother Tyrone

You were no fool

For you put your trust

In the Lord Jesus

You will be greatly missed

We will weep and we will cry

But we are not saying goodbye

For it is our hope and prayer

In heaven fair

In the glory of the endless light

We shall unite

Brother Tyrone

Hear the bell ringing

The angels are singing

Another soul called by the Lord

Another soul taken to their reward

A fond fair thee well

To my Sistah

Assata

Who defined good hair?

Or defines the styles

That we wear

And Assata

I believe that revolution

Is the solution

But sister I say

Not your way

No not with violence and hate

Hear my voice and contemplate

Assata

One day they’ll read this poem at my trial

And you’ll laugh like heaven and smile

For I have found the way to victory

Loving my enemy

Assata

When the time comes

And the generals are beating their war drums

Believe it to be true

I Love you

And keep control

Cause even Richard Nixon has God’s soul

A youth to speak the truth

And a song sung by Young

Chumly

I submit to you humbly

To the brats of the frat

Who think they are all that

With eyes dark and glumly

Who will love Chumly?

Mugsy was a cool kid

The brothers gave him a bid

To make sure he’d come on board

His roommate Chumly

Got an invite as a sweet reward

Well Mugsy couldn’t pull his weight

And bowed out of school

But Chumly wasn’t gone

And he marched on

Some said it was a mistake

Without a doubt

Chumly had hair wild and long

The brothers, so cool of course

Faired all the worse

And thought this was so, so, so wrong

So Mark feigning friendship with a smile

Was nice to Chumly for a while

And took him to a barber

To get a clip with exquisite style

The first shall be last and the last shall be first

And as I look back over those days dark and cruel

I really don’t know who was the worst?

Or which of us was the biggest fool

I have learned kindness and the golden rule

And say today that Chumly was cool

Remember your opinion isn’t as valid as mine

I have inspiration pure and divine

And the words contained in this rhyme

Will live through the ages for all time

In Memory Of Louis Angel Ramirez Junior

Hey baby this is momma here

Thinking of you

As I always do

Facing the fear

That you are gone

Passed on

To somewhere beyond the sky blue

I love you

And always will

Still

Nothing I can do

Will ease the pain

Sorrow is a dirty stain

Never to be washed white

But hey I’ll be alright

It’ll be three years

Of agony and tears

Since you said goodbye

And made momma cry

You’ll never drive your fast car

Or see the animals at the zoo

Seems you placed your bet

And won the prize of regret

But we’ll never forget

This I promise

How could I let go?

Don’t you know

You will always be with me

Closer than my skin

Deep within

So I’ll light a candle

And forsake the cake

As I try to handle

The heart break

The greatest sin

Is what could have been

But I will be grateful

On the times wonderful

We had together

Verisimilitude

When I was young before I could count time

The so called priest committed a crime

Baptized they said Father Son Holy Ghost

One more for the score their carnal boast

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

I pledged allegiance to the sacred flag

On the red white and blue I’d boast and brag

I cheered the soldiers as they went to war

A loyal slave of Babylon the Whore

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

I learned the lie about Thanksgiving

Playground bullies were unforgiving

United we stand divided we fall

We all must answer the buglers call

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude

There were cracks in the foundation holes in the ceiling

Late in a sleepless night what was it I was feeling

Capitalism greed it was the American way

Get more money and it’ll all be okay

The truth always comes with great sacrifice

My sanity was the costly price

But I can see though I wish I was blind

Seek and I suppose you too will find

If I ain’t honest it’s rude

We’re talking verisimilitude

You sure are one horny dude

We’re talking Verisimilitude
