Little Black Box

 Little Black Box

 

God grand creator of the universe

By whose hand the Earth’s form took

No matter how profound the verse

Could you be contained in a book?

 

Omnipotent infinite able to do all

To be in a block box ever so small

You’re able to make real the slightest whim

Would you make a home in my poem?

 

Black and white laws a system of rules

They quote the Bible as perfect fools

Twisting manipulative serving their own end

They mock your Spirit and call you friend

 

Crystal clear to Love it is to obey

Yet their love is but a word they say

In slavery bound by their sin and desire

They claim the truth but each is a liar

 

The little black box it sits on my table

Whatever your will it is then able

The little black box I put it on my shelf

I look inside only to find myself

 

A firefly captured by children in delight

They gaze at the magical mystical light

You’re in the black box I have no doubt

Perhaps one day I will let you out

 

These words perhaps they depict your soul

To show you love yes that is my goal

In a little black box tiny as a star

In a little black box is where you are

 

Contrast, there is heaven there is hell

You’ll see the difference it is easy to tell

Love is the word written on my heart

In a little black box never to part

 

In a little black box kept secure

I wish it was something better something more

A little black box they do not understand

From deep within there comes the command

 

Listen my dear one and yes you’ll hear

But could you hear and not know fear

A little black box convenient in hand

I wonder if you’ll ever understand

Blighted The World

 Blighted The World

 

You spent days in the maze going all ways

Hyped you typed the words to the latest craze

What a pretender you can never surrender

Through the door the Minotaur the game ender

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

The rat runs from the cat chases the cheese

When you are homeless you do as you please

You served your time and you did no crime

Except for obeying orders and marching in line

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

They are gentrifying Harlem way uptown

The orders are given from the banks on down

While the disheveled veteran sleeps on grate

Mass production it’s hard to function with hate

 

LSD slips in his juice

He is free fabulously loose

He chases the dragon today

Tomorrow is the time to pay

Tomorrow and what more

Enter the Minotaur

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

In that fatal moment when insanity becomes real

You cannot repent or even see the total deal

And with open eyes you realize Babylon

With trembling slips time slips and all is gone

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

She’s The Poetry

She’s The Poetry

 

She’s got silver bells that jingle on her shoes

Happy chords on the guitar mock the blues

Life is a long song and she’s the poetry

Come on baby won’t you come dancing with me

 

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

She’s the poetry it’s how we survive

She’s the poetry rhythm and jive

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

 

Take time to rhyme can you hear the church bells chime?

A heart full of love that’s my only crime

Hand in hand answering a prophetic call

When something rises then something else must fall

 

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

She’s the poetry it’s how we survive

She’s the poetry rhythm and jive

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

 

Angels and demons flying on the winds of peace

Armies stop marching warships come to a cease

Dream of tomorrow dream of a better day

Come and follow the youth let them lead the way

 

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

She’s the poetry it’s how we survive

She’s the poetry rhythm and jive

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

 

Flowers in her hair San Francisco Bay

Hours in care on her knees to pray

See the sunrise before innocent eyes

Peace love and understanding our prize

 

Shaking on shake down street they got subtle moves

The chorus before us got great grand grooves

Joy to the world the moment is now at hand

Take out the music score and strike up the band

 

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

She’s the poetry it’s how we survive

She’s the poetry rhythm and jive

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

Escaping Fascism

Escaping Fascism

 

Straight from the institute

Desire of the soul

Money and control

Mister Business suit

Lusting for more

Advocates perpetual war

Hear him calling

While in the Middle East

There is no peace

As bombs are falling

I’d like to migrate

Someplace safe

Far from the hate

But on the brink of World War 3

That is impossibility

On the Amerikkkan street

Young black men feel the heat

Based on their race

Gun downed in disgrace

Meanwhile the war on terror

Is pushed wide and far

As long as profits are to be made

Satan’s plans carefully laid

Will be executed

In Mother Earth violated and polluted

Maybe the Caribbean

Isolated from the sea

Is the only place to be

Even then

They invaded Grenada

And Haiti in poverty obscene

In occupied and crucified

By the United States marines

Best to stay in your own land

And make a stand

Escaping Fascism

Will only come with a fight

So do what is right

 R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N

 

R is for the righteousness of our fight

E is for the evil that permeates this place

V is for the victory on which we set our sight

O is for the overwhelming odds we face

L is for the love that we show one another

U is for the undeniable force we possess

T is for the talents we will discover

I is for that ignorance that we must address

O is for oppression the foulest crime

N is for now, as now is the time

Peace

Peace

 

There is a dream

That we share

In lofty hopes

And solemn prayer

Peace

Peace I say

To come our way

Peace for all

Great and small

 

We awake

In the rumble of the bomb

With the scent of napalm

On our breath

Prophesying death

War is a whore

With no give and all take

Missiles fly

Children cry

Civilians die

And we ask why

While the answer given

Is always a lie

 

But there is no surrender

Or forsaking the ideal

In the future

Peace will be real

We shall turn

When we learn

The lesson of Love

A pretty pearl see her shine working class

My Wobbly Girl is a very good find
