John Ackerman Poems

We All Weigh A Ton (KRS-1)
We all weigh a ton, take after KRS 1
try to put your good face on;
...

led to go a pulse to claim
a heros joyful
a crew to lift up high
love to leadall way
...

plated toward death with cement shoes
painted with road house shoes
below watch the pillow news
burdened with a chance above
...

Love Is In The Air

here I come...
here I go,
...

reach...
teach...
respect,
sorrow that we met
...

Barren Leaves Coast To Cleave
shallow..
shallow peak
hesitant on a kiss
...

Lift High The Torch
walk with me tender by the sea come make believe
the publlc eats some rotten cheese & do what the please
shattered dreams out the front porch swing ring a ling
...

Some Folks Say...
Every day a brand new baby's born got the night to help keep me warm...
Some folks give nor take some call it fate what a mistake leave it be
Some score with hoop dreams where the lady bell rings let you sing
...

Stir up the train for who are we to blame
folks just quit & complain
some just stay in the game;
isn't it a shame
...

what do I see a belly looking back at me
traffic in catastrophe live in longevity
make music with my mind casting from behind
noise pollution to be found with a yawn
...
