Dorsey Baker Poems

Seems like the world is
a prison
where we are living
behind the bars of fear
...

As he was trying to cross across
the river bridge
he felt weightless
like a feather about to be blown
...

War don't make war
people do
War don't make war
people do
...

Bullies of terror
Bullies of rage
War on poverty
War on minimum wage
...

It hovered over my head
as my body burned in seduction
It hovered over my head
as the ocean spit and its belly rumbled
...

you come and you go
You stay busy
body and mind
Problem-solver
...

He wears a mask
carries a big ugly gun
He makes a habit of breaking the law
Unknown is his name
...

Like a snake
She'll shed her skin
and crawl upon the earth for you
She'll beg and borrow
...

Painted lips red
Black soft hair shine
Hard baseball eyes
Short skirt rise
...

I want to love
and be loved like everybody else
Don't you know that?
Don't you know that?
...
