‘Places Shackled’

You’ve got to ask God and stop complaining!

A sample from Book 10

  Places Shackled
  
 He† asked not to forsaken Him†
 yet gives a choice‒
 free-will to accept within
  
 analogies, theological preachings
 leads only to leeching
 the wrong, deceitful teaching
 ‒a constant arguing of bitching
 leaves hungry souls
 waiting, anticipating
in places allowing shackling
  
 He's† proven enough
for everyone's love
  
 He† doesn't have to do rough
 ‒that's the enemy's stuff
but He'll† get tough
 when love's smothered in crud
  
 to push buttons
lead people to suffering
 ‒He's† testing
seeing who's believing
 wondering how long
for hearts in changing‒
 faith begins ringing
  
 amazing to watch‒ 
tickings of the cock
 deceptions...coming in hot
 ‒evil's little bot
 it'll be easy to come in‒ 
without a knock
 as you wage wars
on a dot
  
 careful now‒ 
He† understands wow
 hears every prayer in loud
  
 evil things...He† does allow
 waiting for the choice
a hungry heart's voice
 in free-will...the bow
 ‒without asking how!

‘Looking Within’

Men miss the point of what makes a woman special!

A sample from Book 10

 Looking Within
  
 it's not to your treasures
you are bound
 look carefully around‒ 
is your heart sound
  
 quantity of possessions
 do you measure
your worth
 all your journey's identities‒
 do you take pleasure
now...from your birth
 is that the quality
your only creation
  
 all your roads traveled
 of life‒ 
are you still baffled
 wishing‒ 
you were still
in the cradle
 wishing‒ 
on no experiences
to tattle
  
 is it no more a mystery
 your back there history
  
 for every lesson
comes a reason
 for the next season
  
 round and round
goes the merry-go-round
 'til no more
you see the clown
 never lost, never found
 stuck in between
that round and round
 not seeing the lesson
not rightfully sound
  
 'til it comes from within
 the stuck
always in begin
again and again
  
 so sad at the end
feeling still in begin

‘Tradition’s Backfire’

You are NOT a girl! You ARE a woman!

A sample from Book 10

  Tradition's Backfire
  
 they said
you're just a girl‒ 
this is a man's world
 messing with my head
 holding me back
in their dizzy twirl
  
 I tried to push ahead
 but esteem
they made me lack
 on my butt‒ 
they'd just slap
 ignoring my educated snap
putting me in dead
 all those words
they said
  
 but I don't go down like that
 my mind...I discovered
sound
 so much world
all around‒
 I bounced back
learned a few facts
  
 I got over their curse
learned new adverbs
 set it all up‒ 
for a reverse
 when they came at me
in their attacks
  
 they said
 you can't put it out
like that
 you're too bold...too negative
 you...no one will respect
 they'll drop you
as a contact
 ‒see you as an 'old crab'
  
 much more than that‒
 from all sides
came their attack
  
 my professional swirl‒
 downgraded to just a girl
  
 my mothering cap‒ 
smashed to the ground
 with a raging man-ego trap
 stripping me
of those I gave birth
  
 my christian-wife-giving perk‒
 crushed into dirt
 as hands
around my throat...grasped
  
 my daughtering burst
my sistering worth‒
 taken, stripped, clasped
 as man-driven pride submersed
 fist to head‒ 
stripped 'til I was dead
  
 I couldn't go down like that
 my mind‒ 
put in the back
 ‒lost from sound
so much world
all around‒
 on a different
leveling track
 I bounced back
 ‒met their crap with crap
  
 in sexual immortality‒ 
I did flirt
 around edges of freak
I certainly did skirt
 ‒screaming, yelling, cursing
 I explored my worse
from the depths of dead
 completely lost in my head
 over and over rolling‒ 
those words they said
 ‒all those lies fed
I did the dread‒
 around every corner
I did tread
  
 but I don't go down
like that
 my mind...I discovered
much more sound
 so much world
all around‒
 I fell in their trap
 but it's just fact
I bounced back
  
 into a dim light
I emerged
ready...able
 put up
my hard-core fight
 as the light
moved to bright‒
 breaking their holding-down trap
 unveiling their curse
 ‒I moved into rebirth
 learning my worth
what truly
sets my turf
  
 I am a woman
not just a girl
 my looks‒ 
just a perk
 on my body‒ 
let your eyes flirt
 ‒all this framework
aids my intelligence
 (the likes of brilliance)
  
 yes...on my face
a slight smirk
  
 out...I reemerged
 this butt‒ 
yes, try and slap
 see if I don't call out
your crap
  
 this mind‒ 
try to trap
 I'll come at you‒
 out of this cave
like a bat
  
 yes, it's like that
 don't like it‒ 
down...sit back
sap
 for I've learned my worth
 bridges...I'll easily burn
 ‒say it like it is
 this right‒ 
I've readily earned
  
 and...I don't go down
just like that
 my mind...I know
clearly...positively
sound
 all this world
all around‒ 
I am bound
 for, indeed, I bounce back
 with the resistance of a cat
  
 it's just fact
you...I'll come straight at
 I'm 'all' that
and...that's just that!

‘Hands to Hold’

Is race going to continue to rule your life?

A sample from Book 10

 Hands to Hold
  
 you come at me
 you're not discrete
bold...unsure
  
 maybe there's a gun in my hand
 maybe I've some contraband
  
 or maybe I just like hands in pocket
 or wearing my earphones in my car
 so I can answer this here phone
 for this car absent of bluetooth–
 protecting me and you
  
 or maybe you're angry– 
having a bad day
 I pass your way
 through your veins runs hate
 so I become your play
  
 I'm just like you‒
 generation after generation
 passed through
without obligations
 to changing the view
  
 –it all seems like voodoo
 we both– 
not really having a clue
 ‒taking it upon ourselves
 get off that dusty shelf
change the view
 so our kids
won't suffer too
  
 maybe I do have a gun
 –anger raging in stun
 do you see inside of me
 my hard history
maybe my hand shakes
 though you can't see
 –you're so angry
 not seeing what's at stake
  
 maybe I did some drugs–
 stopping the pain
 keeping from going insane
 but soothing I didn't gain
 all looks like a game
 emotions adding to more pain
  
 then you come along
 thinking I'm a thug
 you want to cut me down‒
 stump me like a bug
 without knowing the deal at home
 why I'm here– 
a gun...all alone
  
 maybe don't yell
 talk...love– 
let it swell
  
 instead of jail– 
lead my soul to help
 without making me
hate myself
  
 I, too, want peace
 between you and me
  
 maybe instead of arrogance‒
 show understanding
compassion
  
 I don't want a free ride
 just a reason...inside
not to cry
  
 I am tough
I've got muscles, tats
 my life has been rough
 –crazy and all that
 it doesn't mean
I'm just stuff
to pluck
  
 a handshake
a hug
  
 –that just might be
enough
  
 I'm a human being
 I don't mean to sting
  
 just a little bitter
 please, your anger–
 could you reconsider
  
 look at me for me
God's† child
 making my way...like you
 through the miles
  
 –the past is gone
this is now
 together– 
we can make it all
worth while
 if we just remain calm–
 approach each other
in mild
 without death coming in fowl

‘Yclad’

Cloth yourself in God’s Word!

A sample from Book 10

 Yclad

 in faith
stay
 vulgar, ignorance
cast away
  
 live in light’s way
 voices come
protect your way
  
 hear, hear
today
 hypocrisy is hypocrisy
 it’s not your matinée
to sway
  
 only you‒ 
your individual attaché
 you need to obey
  
 in faith
bathe
no one can penetrate
 when God’s† your main deejay
  
 your test
may cause some weight
 ‒keep the faith
you’re a work of clay
 ‒a simple, little pâté
 a life
building résumé
  
 it’s okay
 ‒be a little risqué
 your faith
paves
your way
  
 don’t adhere
to man’s way
 ‒that’ll only bring
a bit of pompeii
 delay‒ 
your thanksgiving day
  
 the only entrée
 ‒your only needed sway
 being the protégé
of words Jesus†
  
 had to say
faith
can never be passé
 when you’re open‒ 
faith
your main forté

‘Colorless Birds’

We’re all various shades of brown!

A sample from Book 10

 Colorless Birds
  
 a failed adhesion
 ‒mixed hypercritical damnation
 of all the hysteria‒
 the misunderstood mystery
hundreds of years
 still shed tears
still darkened fears
  
 what was fought
so hard for
 it doesn't seem
we came too far
 even living
under the same stars
 color‒ 
keeps bringing us back
 ‒justice lacked
white...black
 heresy in a broken-down shack
  
 tackle the government
 ‒greed's endowment
 keeping
that stupid war's enlightenment
 taking it's very commitment
back to days of judgment
  
 where are the colorless birds
 ‒haven't you heard
that war ended
 in a blood-soaked swirl
 leaving this mixed-race girl
in a confused swirl
  
 ‒still an uneven world
lost in racial twirls
  
 we're still paying tokens
 ‒what was broken
 thought to be fixed
 ‒all should be mixed
 still backwards
the clock tics
  
 years and years
suffered pain
 what did we gain
 ‒it's just insane
 still playing
this black-white game
  
 didn't king die
for a simple dream
  
 to live in a time
where there is no color
  
 just people
where each other 
 given no time to smother
no matter skin color
 you're still my sister, my brother
  
 honoring a man's life
 doesn't give war the right
 to bury the dream
 ‒words he openly screamed
 leave hatred...difference behind
 to each other
be kind
  
 it's just time
stop banking on race
 look into each other's face
 see beauty's lace
   of God's† amazing grace

‘Theory’

Are you willing to ignore?

A sample from Book 10

  Theory
  
 watch, watch
in the tv
 read, read
on the net
 listen, listen
through the radio
  
 what's for real
what's to forgo
  
 developed homeland security
 believe, believe
 fema helping me‒ 
I see a dirty deed
  
 lessons of barnum baily
 mock, mock
 ‒jokes on me
  
 newly built facilities
 doubled barbed wires facing in‒
 secured quite heavily
  
 scary, scary
what's so deadly
 we'd cage for free
  
 maybe zombies‒ 
viruses to the contrary
 flue vaccines‒ 
no chance of escaping
  
 just experimenting
words keep saying
  
 ants from forestry‒ 
bodies empty
 nerves projecting
continuously moving
 ‒spices added to injury
 a little rabies
making what's empty
 pretty damn angry
 covered in sores‒ 
completing the ugly
  
 total brilliancy‒
 adhering to constitutionality
 attacking
a domestic enemy
 white lab coats‒ 
in the making
  
 ‒no using military
on lands of this country
 take their money
reroute‒
 build a new security
 ‒heavy artillery
  
 a country's tactical facility
 under noses
a people so trusting
  
 no real need
 ‒taking guns owned privately
 the enemy
preparing
 it's win biologically
  
 science fiction reality
is it just theory‒
  
 executive order's bravery
 ‒the gracious heart
of tom clancy
  
 creative thinking
 ‒even in the movies
 always predicting
an undercover warning
 without actually saying
what's really coming
  
 watch, watch
in the tv
 read, read
on the net
 listen, listen
through the radio
  
 what's for real
what's to forgo
  
 history repeats history
 different means of delivery
 woolen eyes
sunken deep
 ‒in all entertaining

‘A Beacon’

You MUST take action instead of trolling!

A sample from Book 10

  A Beacon
  
 do you hear it– 
ring, ring, ring
 liberty does sing
  
 through the tiniest notion
 –every vocation
each unique imagination
  
 one nation
stands for liberation
 she's not a simulation
 she's reality's verification–
 there's ramifications
if tied by dictation
  
 do you hear it– 
ring, ring, ring
 liberty does sing
  
 no unification of nations
 can match her situation
 no militant formulation
 can undermined her creation
  
 she has limitations
push her motivation–
 her wrath's determination
 unveils against aggression
  
 do you hear it– 
ring, ring, ring
 liberty does sing
  
 all look upon her manifestation
 for freedom's not suppression
 it's an awakening sensation
 unmatched by any's validation
  
 she is liberation
 the beacon of hope rendition
 to all oppression
 she is the united states of america–
 under God†
she is one nation
 to the world's population
 she is their mandation–
  
 being free is
God's† given human condition
 not under bureaucracy regulation
 not under controlled restriction
 but through
the self's desire for liberation
  
 do you hear it– 
ring, ring, ring
 liberty does sing

‘Six Realms of Faith’

God Needs To Be Involved!

A sample from Book 4

 Six Realms of Faith
  
 having an idea
 ‒one that's clear
 strips the fear
 ‒a free-thinker's agenda
 a place your life
to steer
  
 adding content
 ‒liberating a commitment
 instead of settlement
replacing resentment
 ‒being legitimate
instead of being stuck
 in a clique's common placement
  
 having an individual voice
it's a choice
 instead of being a toy
for others to enjoy
 ‒standing out
on your own paved soil
  
 saying what you mean
with fluency
 ‒not living
in hypocrisy
 strips away life's crazy
stops the path of lazy
 smack-dab
in the middle
of its lunacy
  
 perfecting convections
 improving slang's grammafications
  
 turning into a professional
 leads to graduation
adds promotions
 in this world of intoleration
  
 putting it all together
 a profession's
perfect presentation
 ready for any situation
 walking away
from damnation
without hesitation
  
 for I am
in life
a worthy publication
  
 my world
always
a learning reflection
 of mistakes made
every word heard
 I can turn around
all situations
 with these six realms of faith
 I can change
my fate

‘Leave It All Be’

Just Let the Children Learn!

A sample from Book 4

 Leave It All Be
  
 ma' lord...be gone
 your grace here...so wrong

non-constant watching back
