Is it enough
To being Black in America
To being in America?
First fired
...

in memory of the children of South Africa


Freedom!

Monday's child raised up in the morning
Away to school for another day.
Tuesday child makes ready for another day,
Making the best of what that may come their way.
...

No matter the distance
Between us in miles,
No matterthe lifespan,
Spread all thewhile

In Memory of Vetta M. Jenkins Mims

One word is so hard to say
To someone like you in every way,
...

In loving memory of Queen Young Murray(1921-2005)

In case we didn't say it,
or express it enough to let you know,
...

​
Bring on the night- -
Where those dare play,
And where freaks come out anyway
...

I look up above my head this fair evening
And saw the slender of it all,
How the night time is formed and fashioned
And with beauty of night delightful
...

You make write....

You make me write the world over
And just not settle for the best
...

The sun didn't rise of yet
For it's early and the night slips away quietly
Like a thief it steals away,
Then sneaks up on you without notice.
...

To Langston H.

I sit here writing these words
Inspired with pen in hand
...

me that single one

the singleness of oneness
...

The soul of Jazz
Where Jazz is soul
And the soul of Jazz is within
Bringing back the days old
...

My muse-
My way of escape into a world
Of rhymes and words
Sprinkled in with other words.
...

Heavenly peace was upon the Earth,
Heaven shook; God's grace was put upon for Glory's worth,
Suddenly a star appeared in the mist thereof,
A Child, Savior of the World born of his love,
...

It's in your soul
Until it gets in your skin,
Then you try everything in you
To pull from it
...

Around
And
Round
It goes.
...

(A ghetto type of verse)

I am trippin'off of you
And the things that you do,
...

I open my mouth-
And the words are there
But all of a sudden nothing comes out
And those few words that's shared
...

Brother
Listen to me!
There is something I must say
To clear the air of any
...
