  Air

  Suchness seeps into just about anything

  Lives are broken when they get older

  Houses are burned and insurance gets higher

  When will it go, will we ever sell her

  Novelties take us to new worlds

  Readers embark on perilous journeys

  Hosts are emboldened by their leaders

  The east is won, over are the tourneys

  Bliss comes to the supreme one easily

  We find ourselves in books we never knew quite before

  Good is the sacredness of one’s heart

  Swinging at the thin air, the wind becomes black gore

  Societies have come upon many endeavors

  Hunts are undertaken like never before

  Underlings rage riots in the town squares

  What are we truly searching for?

  The meat is laid nice and square

  Walking through the dark, we come upon mist

  Spring into action, we see ourselves no more

  We ride like there is no tomorrow,

  Like how we take upon a gist

  A Lesson

  Happy are the bachelors at every peak of a mountain

  No children to take care of, no one to carry on his line

  People have fought for the world in many different spheres

  From the moon there is an inkling of a holy day, there is a sign

  For many have treaded the lands of times gone past

  Blood have been drawn that was not brought unto justice

  Savages pillage the country side in search of food, clothing, shelter and sex

  Guided by our teachers, erroneously graded by their rubrics

  Chimes rain down sound upon sound, noise is within the chaos

  Order is brought about with untold patience and strength

  But God has no bounds even if he is a prisoner or a slave

  Out of my golden eye I pluck out the worn flints

  Wearing shorts in the winter time

  Colds are accumulated and there might be a cure

  Viruses might lurk in every crevice

  To know the truth, are we sure

  Eels partake of every conversation

  Demons reek of filth, no light reaches them

  Listen to the wind, the honored one teaches

  A Man of His Own Colors

  The one to not listen, but the one to do

  Falling to no gimmicks, releasing what needs to be,

  Wild at anytime, I guess that is why women love him

  Or why they hate him, secrets untold

  But everything gets put on a black site

  A mace in one hand, and a Bible in the other

  Where have it took them, but to bitter worlds

  How advanced is he, for he only knows the Earth

  Too quick to come to conclusions, that is even said of his experiments

  Angry at his own brother, so the story was told

  Jealousy brings him down and the woman relish it

  Where should he go, he knows no place but the Earth

  For which he stands and grabs on himself

  For where will it take him, but to his own grave

  Where the God will show him who the He is

  Above all and not comparable to anybody

  Year by year, no one knows who he truly is but himself

  The baby is not being paid attention to and the nation cries

  Mother keeps repeating herself and sister won’t go away

  Focus is what he tries to do and fear none but his own self

  High above the clouds he cannot see, but there is something there

  Inches from where he will die, he claims he is a man

  Rough, tough, and a doer above all else

  Hunter of dreams past and a tale for an ascendant

  Brawler in the bars, healer of boys fears

  He walks from street to street, but cannot find himself

  Where will he go, but to damnation with everything he creates

  Another Route

  Luminosity flies me to a starting point

  A jackal rides the shores like a boat riding the sand

  Citizens rejoice over the deaths of notorious hijackers

  Luck has took hold of me as I board the land

  Where is a dime when there is a time of need?

  Gold loosens up the pocket, we are now at ease

  Planes hover in space as the time nears, we shall be at new war

  The beginning of the ending is upon us, even if its

  Its a million years from the east

  Gods walk the earth as we speak, to be overcome

  Overcome by the greatest of them all

  The one true lion has parked his car, angels are dressed in casuals

  The demons await their heirs, mother earth sheds new tears

  The sun rains light as the beams are blasting you

  Yearning is let loose in all eight corners of the universe

  A verse so special, that we know almost nothing about

  Hills block the oncoming soldiers, mothers still put on sackcloth

  Eating dates as the waves pass, it is bound to be relief,

  It is bound to be another route

  A Poem For Mom

  Your heart searches out those

  The ones who try to hurt you

  And run over the ones you love

  Putting on a brand new shoe

  Your heart is spacious

  Always giving people a chance

  And giving them their due

  Grabbing the baby by the hands

  Forever you will be

  A heavenly being

  Because you are saved

  Not by the humans seeing

  But by God's own eyes

  Your love is sweet

  But can be a thorn sometimes

  Because you speak with authority

  Which is so neat

  You try your best to please

  But sometimes people cannot

  See through you

  In these days what have God wrought

  Today even though you're in pain

  God have blessed you

  With many more years to come

  That no one can count like a fool

  You have had many dog days

  Where you are met with problems

  The sun is always shinning in your life

  You are also met with blossoms

  The smile on your face was amazing today

  I'm glad you felt better

  I'm always glad about that

  Even though my eyes don't get wetter

  I wish we could spend more time with you

  You are the most precious thing in my life boo

  Apology to Mother

  Dear Momma,

  My teacher during times of want

  And my instructor to show me the family way

  You made me see what I did not

  And made me hear

  What I would not have heard

  Even though I was not always obedient

  Please forgive me

  An apology for the woman

  The woman I will always love

  No matter what

  Through all situations

  Even if I do not agree with you

  Never give up with us mother

  If you do you may regret it in the future

  You have taught us so much

  So much through the years

  Even wh
en I was not always there

  Again please forgive me for that

  Be

  Toddlers awaken several times

  The days are too short to count

  Money makes no sense even today

  Food I eat by the ounce

  Valleys are conquered at night

  Beasts gnaw at every human

  As the demons leave no peace

  But that which is due by God

  The king knows not how to run his country

  Nerds bring hope within their gibberish

  Eels are eating my friends’ souls

  Make amends to the dead as I relish

  Cunning realities stalk at our borders

  Memories tire out so many times

  Games leave us with no choice

  With the wind we hear chimes

  Domes are for protection

  Space we will colonize

  Aliens will war with us

  A major task realized

  Beacon of Hope

  Where shall I go?

  Not forever wandering on the shore

  Fickle as a hair in the wind

  Spotty as a cow being led to slaughter

  Where shall I go?

  Quick at the zenith of time

  Death is but a step away

  Viscosity as of jelly

  Where shall I go?

  And not be known?

  Feet caked with grime

  Basking next to Jupiter

  Calling the Moon

  Oh moon, come

  Shed light on me

  Watch over where

  I’m at and from

  Let me forever see

  Time ticks by your command

  Waters change as you deem

  Watching your course as I,

  Tread the sand

  It will never be as it seems

  Generations of the likeness of God

  Come and go

  Knowing not what you have to say

  All just go with the flow

  But I shall forever follow your way

  Changes

  We succumb to humor when it approaches

  Honor stalks us in its wake, space has outdone itself

  Reels are turning, never to let a moment pass

  Which is better, being rich or a person with wealth?

  Change has come from many different angles

  The chances are overrun, mom has given the say so

  Unicorns have been said to be discovered

  Digging in the dirt, cleaning the hoe

  Moments come and go as we pass through life

  Fog beats down upon us, we never look back

  Time is never on our side, tears pour from faces

  The bread was good, put it back in the sack

  Oh how shall we overcome these engrossing times?

  Cleanliness leads one to inner riches, the spirit is of prime importance

  Rats lurk in every corner, now they are no more

  Willing to be on with our business, but always waiting

  With a sign of reluctance

  Tilling comes by way of majestic ends, the soot comes to

  Its sense in life

  Poor or no, we make ourselves whom we are

  Yelping at a postman, nowadays a dog has no respect

  If nobody will write, whatever happened to the bards?

  Eternity

  Telling folks that life is such a downhill

  Growing up, people don’t know what to think

  As they get older though, it don’t appear

  As a wink of the eye

  Usury gets played out like an eye that blinks

  Mother is over by the way shore

  Numbers are played by the smart

  Kindness comes from the soul

  Sweetness is tasty to the tongue as I eat tarts

  Letters bounce off the page

  Colors change in the sunlight

  Flowers come and go away

  The right and left always fight

  Spirits come from a nether region

  The mind rules all things on earth

  But when will it step up from just reigning

  Gloves take us to another level

  Presidents do not rule, nor reign

  The parliament is for all of that

  Philosophy bounces back and forth

  Civics leaves us with a sense of nationality

  When it all comes down to it, what is this universe worth

  Undertake the route to justice

  Leaving our loved ones at the store

  Knowledge takes a hold on humans

  I raise my inner light as I walk by the shore

  Feel the Heat

  Seeking joy in this world

  Is like making food for a

  Splendid dinner

  The world turns and life is sweet

  Are there truly any sinners

  Ask the rhino from whence it came

  Holes will be plundered, houses

  Pillaged by robbers

  Fallen by the sea, answer no questions

  The inner sanctum is like a flower

  Knowledge is heard far and wide

  But only tad-bits of this or that

  Deal in equity is what we brought

  Monkeys learn, while wheat is swelling

  And fat

  Fighting

  Is it really necessary?

  When it does not even solve problems?

  It leads us towards the sun

  Our burning hand never quenching

  Only when the sun goes

  Billions of years from now

  Friendships are broken

  Jealousy is like a fly

  Win some, lose some

  Actually you win none

  Life is not about losing

  But about gaining something

  Gaining productive and wise ends

  Quit your basking in glory

  And aptly contemplate my jewel

  When there is something

  Someone that could’ve helped is lost

  A talent has ceased from your control

  Future Runs Far

  Gangs of friends walk down the street

  A life of sorts for the evil and aggressive

  Sidewalks in the south are not popular

  This period has changed, it has become regressive

  Western values have become prized

  Not without taking bits and pieces from

  Here and there

  Writers gain a touch of their inner selves

  We gripe and brag, but we were taught

  Not to swear

  Rest has become only for the elderly

  The east do not neglect their seniors

  Sacred books get lost in translation

  Squirming as we listen to Henry

  Volts are thrown down upon us

  Where are we to run, where are we

  To hide

  Huge forces come upon us from our

  Borders

  Are we getting near it, will there be a

  Day we shall cry

  Ha, the Dark Woman

  Behind the picture

  Within the video

  A reflection unseen

  The letters that only God knows

  The message in the Bible

  The hint of the voice

  The river in the ocean

  Underground tunnels

  Heaven somewhere

  Hidden beneath it all

  Hopeless

  How did we come to this?

  Shaken from the ledge

  Searching for the way out

  Basic days get too bored

  Walking gets no better

  Money goes down the drain

  Whom should we count on?

  Wars are taking lives

  And the unknown people get

  The best of us

  What are we to do?

  Who to run to?

  God is foreve
r watching

  Angels keep forces at bay

  But where is the way

  Mind over matter comes

  For us way too late

  Some people give no respect

  We try our best to cope

  Honor is a book of its own

  The Art of Time

  Lies within all of us

  But who can get in our way

  Humans

  Fine is the one who expresses himself

  Women don’t have to talk, men should

  Do it for them

  Wine leaves us sparkling, nine sisters

  Are watching over us

  Inner pride is where we all win

  Tomorrow nothing happens

  We were waiting for something spectacular

  But he was not there, sides have changed

  All in all, we feast like Dracula

  Why should there only be four or five elements

  Have we seen from what this universe is made?

  High is the sky, we don’t have time to look down

  Going through introspection when we’re bathing in the shade

  Understanding many things as time goes by

  Forgetting only a small portion, you don’t depend

  On another person

  Relics are stolen from a range of spaces, remember that

  Running down the aisle, just like her son

  Inequity

  The Alps are basking underneath the silver moon

  Wolves are howling, bears are awake ready for daylight

  Snakes wonder here and there, are they ever encroaching?

  And the day comes and proceeds, the moon starts

  To recede and take flight

  The kings has once said, a wise man rules his kingdom

  With the companionship of wisdom

  By his side, no one is to escape, there is none to ever know

  Fickle is the frost that descends from on high

  Wheat tends to fill, water goes with the flow

  The lands are teeming with life of such

  Rain pours down from the beacon it once was laid upon

  Some have a matter of two, many have a matter of one

  Tell her she is all well, the man down the street he shuns

  Whooping goes on in flames, bats take upon the reign

  History has done its course, science produces a bias

  That was not there

  Outings are not a thing of the past, they come and

  Go as means permits

  Not equal are the lower animals, these people do not share

  Jack of All Trades

  Tip the special deliverer

  Tie the knot forever

  Return to the roots

  Seek but never find

  Its over our heads
