MUSIC
Make me dance all day
See me reach out in to the light
Know me in a song

ART
Art is man craving
Attention ascension
All Races Together now


DRUMS OF TRINIDAD
Drums of carnival
Loudly in the island air
Pulsating madness


PEACE
Peace, silent words heard
Inside our mind space in time
Whispers unknown...ssssh


MURALS OF PHILADELPHIA
Old houses light up
Walls reflecting our history
Murals tell stories


MONEY
People make money
Money makes people mo' friends
Money goes friends end


CHILDREN
Born knowing the truth
Grow learning the lure of lies
Die inside imperfect shells.


FAMILY
More than blood thru veins
Family hopes tears joys and pains
Connect in one love


ISLAND RAINSTORMS
Rain cleans human waste
Palms dance with dirt on their face
Washing our wild world


LOSS
Why are humans born
Love lingers after they leave
Dreaming they are here


TRAVEL
Travel unravels
Stereotypes fall apart
Releasing our fears


SLEEP
Awake in a world
Where people live in our mind
Brings us back in time.
