we should know, shouldn’t
feel the ache in our
hearts–our bones brittling,
cracking with each pace
this is America
land of the beaten
home of the
lied to & ostracized
bent over & bastardized
it is the #habit of this place
to eat its young
before disowning it

The gifted boy chose his chore,
an invitation to toy with others
who bore the pain
from life’s insane paths
a kid big on master plans
he demands the same treatment
& has no fans
in his misty eyes,
he holds the cries
of loves past
too many to name,
none of them would last

A Rapid Rhyme
A Rapid Rhyme Audio Poem
Lucky Lou said to Stu
that he’d catch the girl
who rocked their world
& make plans to do more
than hold hands
what Stu didn’t know
wouldn’t hurt his flow &
Lucky Lou was cool too
besides being a fool in
love with a woman who’d glide
right on to the next,
Lou only wanted sex

Who would take the bait?
It’d be an added fate to
the mix, we nix the tools we
often use, afraid to partner up with
fools who choose to disguise themselves
& place their wealth on the shelves of
life. That’s right.
Kick back, take it all in
my friend–it’s only the beginning.

Grim is the tide for the
willing woman who rides
the waves of life,
subdues her strife, &
calms the raging seas.
She pleases refined minds
and massages willing culprits
reduced to kneeling knees.
Bold & black & beautiful
but not to be seduced,
sweet as honey from the bees.
