Ivan Brooks Sr Poems

Dream on all ye children of Kunta
Boldly go where you've dared to go
Be happy, sing aloud Hakunamatata
Dream of the precious gems of Congo
...

Something happened a long time ago
It changed everything and everyone
It changed the way we play and work
It changed the way we walk and talk
...

One day a good man sat all alone
Wondering if things would ever improve
So he quietly entered his prayer zone
And prayed selflessly to God above
...

If only Kunta kanti had a camera phone
He would've captured many untold stories
stories of a sad slave girl sitting all alone
Sad stories of overworked slaves with worries.
...

If love had a meter
And inputs were measured,
As a partner or a lover
Would you be surpassed?
...

One day I wrote in my sonnet
Life is a very beautiful poetry
And every man is a natural poet
So whether you live in the country
...

God works thru mysterious ways
You just have to hustle many days
Success belongs to he who prays
And works beneath the sun's rays.
...

Liberian woman, Monrovia Woman
Queen Woki, beautiful daughter of Ducor
Blessed from Montserrado's abdomen
Take me on a royal ride beyond Sinkor.
...

We are the Ronaldos of spoken words
The Da vancis of painted poetry
In the poetic universe, we are overlords
With words we bond in a poetic chemistry
...

A good man is a great man because
He is selfless and not reckless
He is very down to earth and seeks no wealth
He will sacrifice everything just to help others
...
