Mustafa Marconi Poems

Mr. Johnson you silly little boy
Disregard those outrageous assumptions
The hands of time will continue to progress
So only you are to blame for your failures my son
...

Heavy conversation
You’ve shared with me
Gives me inspiration
Deep inside my soul
...

I’m going back home soon
Going back to where I’m from
I’m a financially unstable man
With a child soon to come
...

What’s up beautiful
Long time no see
Been passing by from time to time
Searching patiently
...

Gazing ahead I dare not ponder
The destructive significance of this situation
Tell me America, are you happy?
Or are you still entranced by rhetoric
...

Goodbye my lady, I hate to leave you
Have to flee this scene again
Hold on to this, for the hard times
Backstreet blues about to sing
...

Hey young girl
Stop teasing me
This is not
How our love should be
...

They’re trying to hold us back
They’re trying to discourage us
But you can’t stop the rain from falling
You can’t stop the winds from blowing
...

Looking for solutions
For a problem centuries old
Searching every avenue
My feet are still cold
...

176th and Davidson
Mismatched Jordans on oversized feet
Don’t have a penny to my name
Slowly cruising troubled streets
...
