Butterfly

If I were a butterfly
would you love me more?
would you treat me delicately?
look deep into my core?
 
If I were a butterfly
would you let me land
on the tip of your finger
or let me play upon the sand?
 
If I were a butterfly
would you be gentle and nice?
breathe softly upon me
and kiss me lightly thrice?
 
If I were a butterfly,
alas I'd fly away
for staying with you, darling
there's quite a lot to pay.
 
If I were a butterfly
I'd rather my soul be free
Never tied to slavery
paying you too high a fee.
 
Yet if I were a butterfly
would you fly away with me?
Or always unfaithful, would you
fly away with a bumble bee?

Another Day Before Nightfall

Pen to paper
So no tears today
Monday back to slavery 
I cast my out my lline
Hoping for a bite from a female fish
Do you not see what is meant by love ? 
Do you not see what is meant by peace?
Shalom is where its at, friends 
SHALOM IS WHERE IT IS AT!

Mark of the Beast

Many worship created things;
Some have engraved images that are dreams.

Egytians worshiped the north star;
Just as indians sought many things from afar.

Reality is a fact from above;
Altered reality is a missonseption of true love.

Law and order keeps tle peace;
Chaos came from the Romans and the Greeks.

God created atoms of many kinds;
Elements from the ground formed mankind.

To worship oneself is to be blind;
Ifs the mark of the beast that's in their mind.

Aftermath

It was the selfish men who tore the country apart,
For they had no love for Lincoln nor people at heart.
A line called Mason Dixon was keeping both sides apart, 
And in 1861, the Civil War battles began to start.

In 1865, a  peace mandate was finally brought in, 
But  Black's down in the South had not forgotten.
It was the end of slavery and elite slave trade plottin',
When  former slaves told their masters, "Go pick your own damn cotton".

Providence

Part of my faith is Providence
Which means God meant it to be
Somewhere in the past
God had a plan for me
Slavery brought us freedom
From far across the sea
Persecution gave us liberty
To believe in the God we see
Prejudice gives us eyes
To see the mark of the beast
Breaking both commands
Where only two there be
Providence gives us faith
From which we finally see
God meant it from the beginning.
To show His love for you and me

Death of a Legend

You’ve heard of eeny meanie
How he died a fitting death
He had more fame, it seems to me
Than Shakespeare or Macbeth

Held accountable he was
After capture and a bounty
For the sins Stephen Duncan
Boss of Issaquena County

Too bad for mister miney mo
He’ll have to pay the price
Out to the Mississippi Bridge
We’d love to hang him twice

Held to dangle by the toe
So that everyone would know
Said the slaven to the hangman
If he hollers let him go

We Will Not Comply

We Will Not Comply

I never thought I’d live to see the day
When children would be taught that God is dead,
The flag we love, someone would take away,
Or leaders in corruption share a bed.

It matters not to me who ridicules;
I am American, I will rebel.
I’ll keep my God, my guns, my right to use
Free speech the truth to tell.

We never thought to live in tyranny—
Just to stand for truth could mean your life;
We need to recognize we are not free—
We will not save our country without strife.

Will we rise and claim our liberty
Or take the lies and bow to slavery?

A More Reliable One

Unlocking enslaved brains
Breaking unbreakable chains
How enormous is his humongous Grace
We fail if we perceive success is by virtue of race

Many believe in science 
Others have faith in signs
Because of their own experiences 
And perhaps life's expectancies

But praise be to the one who created the sun
And gave us His Son
To him be the Glory
Who redeemed us from slavery 

It is He whom we ought to trust 
For woe unto us if we should rust
How glorious it is to continually hope in his promises
Than cling to life's vanities.

The Dutch Is My Father

When still a child
I learned that plantation colony was belonging 
to my father, the one who brought my mother 
from the Dutch East Indies,
and the one whom he loved full in rage.

I was a small Negro, beautiful, fat, and disabled,
helping her as far as the porch
along its edge where I now walk
what silence reigns among them!
 
I remember when slavery in Suriname was abolished
by the Netherlands in 1863, but my mother
was not fully released her love toward my father
until I grew as a star,
and  I remember, back there, in Paramaribo,

along the its outskirt where I now walk
what silence reigns among them!

Still I remember.

King of Hearts

Fools! They boast of flight and p'wr over minds.
My gift is greater by far, listen well:
For I have sovereign control o’er all kinds,
of hearts; Yea, I can cast the timeless spell.

And by this grace I bind unto myself,
ev’ry human being and all their strength. 
Do you know any greater form of wealth,
than a race that will drive to ev’ry length—

for you; because they love you, they will try,
to please you, they would sacrifice themselves,
or spend their lives toiling ‘neath the sky,
your hand can reach stars, to the core it delves!

A billion minds themselves for you command,
Matchless p’wr, brought by hearts caught in your hand.

The Crime of Love

Shall I suppress the hankering of love,
And behold one’s stifle whispering bare,
Or quench thy besmirch of venom thereof,
Or bedight thy fog, doer of despair?
Before perceiving wisdom of thy crime,
Judgement of thyself no question make,
When desires approach years of prime, 
Must respect and morals themselves forsake?
Though slavery gone captured we still be,
Yet must we all have thy person to blame?
Praise thy duets of similarity,
Forswear injustice and love all the same, 
          So even I not man still do yet swain
          For love alone must I wish to gain.

Heart Ache

Heart ach comes daily
No words are true
What you chice to believe
Is completely up to you
Love your life
Seek for the truth
Hold on to your youth
For it is not yours
It's all a demise
Lost in the hands of others
Before our own eyes
It's time to wake up
It's time to realize
That your stilling slavery
You are locked up
Your just asleep
Running with your eyes wide shut

Vultures Feed - a Quatern

Vultures Feed  (Quatern, 1 May 2014)

The vultures fed upon the plains
As one tribe enslaved another
All they left were the dry remains
Husbands, fathers, sons and brothers

Then came the vikings from the north.
The vultures fed upon the plains.
Knights died trying to prove their worth.
Bezerkers killed and terror reigns.

Europe's Napoleon campaigns
Echoed later by the Third Reich
The vultures fed upon the plains
And two Gulf Wars were much alike

Love will fail, the Moon will redden
Nuclear winter, poisoned rains
Prophecies of Armageddon
The vultures fed upon the plains

Postscript To a Passion

POSTSCRIPT TO A PASSION 

I was hoping you would prove me wrong -
Under the ship’s sides the barnacles still cling -
I would have thought you’d never sell our song
But true to typecast, summer mothering -

You, too, proved to be full of guile
To love meant having, which ever was the worst -
In the quiet of my trust, so deep, so fragile
I live down the purple passage of remorse.

I’d sing you happy but you were buffoon
To my trammelled wanderings a parody
Set stiff in coupled rhymes to swoon
With the ecstatic rhetoric of equality -

So passion plundered, what’s left is my disgrace
My jewelled head tortured in your embrace.

The Climate Changes

Humanity has taken a chainsaw to the tree of life 
every tear came as a visitor as my eyes they drank 
from the well of the moon 
Somethings within memory last forever 
each thorn was love protecting the rose 
twilight of morning dew upon the grass
it's there a deadly silence enters the soul 
What good fruit comes from sin 
we have to submit to the Holy Spirit 
defending justice is a spiritual submission to the truth 
To do what's right and just rewiring our minds 
guarding it from the true nature of man

I Pray For Our Love

The morbid fear 
in my heart 
Was restless with 
an unfathomable future 
haunting my accursed life 
Three years of slavery 
alone in the dark 
Shattered hope, 
Shattered aspirations 
A broken palace . . 
Now that you are here 
I fear nothing more than death 
I pray for our union 
A permanent HEAVEN 
My faith returns 
When I hear your words 
The verse now travells 
to my heart through the 
Wireless device 
I am lost in your arms 
I imagine your hands caressing my lips 
I am caught in 
those love making acts 
Sensuous and mesmerising . . 
Tranquil and tantalizing 
I pray that we meet 
I pray 
I pray 
I pray 
I pray

In Such a Happiness

In such a happiness
You resemble one in a stress
You have everyone to yourself now to say yes

You have in your accommodation the right foreign man
And you have his entire plan written
He?s at present recognized prosperous in all this clan
And you differ not effectively beaten

What is kept in that thunderous silence
That looks nevertheless a rainbow
You have a bias in speaking and letting us know
Or is it what they say in doubt you have the heat?s shyness

In such a happiness
Being given all the choices
When all said is as well an omen
And you think love is everything
You put shame on brains of the youth
To send your letter while open

Nate Love
After being freed from slavery,
Became the most famous black cowboy in history.
But the cause of his death stayed a mystery.

Masked

Hidden - known but unknown: a reflection 
Of a soul; though not of a heart, 
Of a being rent apart 
from himself and from others - 
And futile the struggle 
And futile the cries 
For there is no escape though he may try -
both he and I are caught in his web of lies.

Emancipation of Hatred

Hatred is a sort of colonisation 
It governs the heart 
Like colonisation governs a colony
Where freedom is restricted
Love  exhausted
Hegemony impudent
And the mind becomes a slave
Chronically angry and frustrated
And so a spiritual release is needed 
Maybe through a religion
Or a blessing from God
