Life Is Eternal

Life is Eternal

Oh the hardships we face,

getting through them only by God’s grace.

Tears so sweet from heaven on my face

with the joys and sorrows,

that somebody did not live to see tomorrow.

When we were all young

silliness was how we hung.

Now a few years have passed on

And death has become our song.

Being ever so hard it is to go on

although life’s current is so strong.

By the Lord’s drum we march on,

a triumphant tune we hum,

knowing that life does not end in the tomb

or start in the womb.

it is eternal,

 yes, so eternal.

You Walked With Me

You Walked With Me

Daddy you have walked with me

From birth to a baby you have walked with me

From an adolescent to young adult you have walked with me

From the ups and downs

To smiles and frowns

You have walked with me

By my side

You have been my life’s guide

From trouble to triumph to victory

To misery

Daddy you have walked with me

 from pains

To gains

To one day at a time

To now having peace of mind

You walked with me

From graduation

To my life’s elevation

You have gave me so much inspiration

So I say to you

I love you

For showing me the way

Thanks dad happy father’s day

The Saga Of Struggle

The Saga of Struggle

Oh, how great is the pain

because life is about change

as nothing stays the same.

The saga’s enduring cycles of drama

at this state of mind is a “mutha”

from hangovers

to being sober.

The anguish is never over

and the absolute defeat of reality

makes me a casualty

of the ongoing process that we call life.

The Saga Of Struggle.

Junkie Bird

Junkie Bird

Imagine a bird that is not free,

It is trapped in its own misery,

And blames others and wants sympathy,

This tormented bird’s soul,

Is not all whole,

The bird wonders many sick thoughts,

With mostly self-driven plots,

His heart is full of broken dreams,

And he wants to accomplish many things,

He is terrified by self-centered fear,

And what he hears is perceived wrongly,

Even though his will is so strong,

To survive and stay alive,

Only to fly high,

Or just get by,

He is caught in a vicious cycle

And falls in a downward spiral

But only if he decides to pray,

Then he may,

Stay clean just for one day

At a time,

And free his soul and mind.

For Father's Day

A Teacher's Impact On Me Dedicated in loving memory To My Favorite Professor Dr.Maryanow

A Teacher’s Impact on Me

You taught me

to dream big

and aim high

while holding

my head to the sky.

I know life is crazy

because I never

had a chance to say goodbye.

Yet forever in my heart and soul

your impact on me

I will forever hold.

You taught me

more than just how to write

you instructed me

how to live my life.

You were such a kind man

willing to give

a helping hand

always all business

but you managed

to share a few laughs

helping and inspiring

many to stay on the right path.

Oh yes sir ! Dr. Maryanow

you will be missed

but just how short

life is.

As these poetic tears I wipe

from my face

knowing a great man like you,

you are in a better place

by God’s grace.

So I say

thanks for the impact

that you made on me

for teaching me

to be

the best I could ever be.

For the tears of life will always constantly flow

but that’s life

and we all one day will have to go.

Hip Hop Blues

Hip Hop Blues

I am paying my dues,

To write these hip hop blues.

I study Langston Hughes,

But walk in my own shoes.

I represent Alabama,

Where they are known for the yellow hammer.

I spit this southern grammar.

In this state they cut back education,

And preach racial segregation.

I strive to live,

And help, and give

In a positive way.

I pray for Alabama today,

That one day we can have peace

In the streets,

Because black on black crime

Has me losing my mind.
