Now and Always Be a Joyful Human Being

This is how you were meant to live — I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being-that is enough for me; he can’t be any…

This Is What’s You Will Find On The Blurb Of My Poetry Collection In The Making

Another Introduction Here — If I Don’t Change My Mind, Again — I am not who you think I am; I am not these accessories and accoutrements. I am not the coverings and conveyances. I am not the display pictures on my media walls or videos and photos of my appearances.

Throw Your Light Into the Dark Void

An awakening call to our collective unconsciousness — Be a candle, my friend, And burn Quietly Steadily Burn Deep into the night Burn in the daytime Burn like there’s no tomorrow And even if there’s Burn like there’s no time to wait Let your flame come alive And chase the shadows away from you Burn knowing you’re consumed …

When the Applause Dies Down

The folly of all those wars — The applause dies down The air freezes up And in the painful hole A gap of a missing tooth. Our smile snaps Leaving us in wonder As the arena goes so quiet We can hear the footsteps Of soldier ants on parade. In the chilly eeriness The fan club here loses Trumpets…

You Go Get a Life …

Or Life Will Pass You By — I watch them come I watch them go I even open the door to wave them in--- their eyes dancing in expectations of the exciting moments, the glint of adventure bold on dilated pupils.

The Beings of the Light

In the Places, We Occupy — Here and there we occupy a lazy space of no use to anyone, or so it seems, some say it’s time to leave for no one will notice anyway. But we see no need to hurry away, for we are not here by some freaky twist. Our departure should raise some…

The Sweet Taste of a Happy Song

I pray you will get to learn gratitude — Today I pray for you to experience the joys of life, with its twists and turns, to savor the salty taste of the tears of joy and of the tears of grief, to remember the salty taste of sweat and of blood and to recognize it’s the same saltwater of the mighty ocean, for as it is without so it’s within…
