My Style

I like to read yeah that’s my style,
These words I eat then I make’em worth while,
I compile many thoughts and memories,
Review my file like Yo’ remember these,
Chill’n with my homies and you know we blow trees,
Fantasize about the promise land and what it’s gonna be,
The haters they be on us man and that’s alright with me,
I just try to keep it honest man cuz that’s the way to be

I gotta military mind with a refined game plan,
Kill it every time that I rhyme it’s the same plan,
My rhyme so cold that I dress it in layers,
Twelve years old I felt the power of prayers,
I’m speak’n to my God yo I hope he cares,
They try’n to go public with my private affairs,

Mother’s Day Poem

Mom, I’d like to thank you for all that you do
On this special day we come together to celebrate you
Today I will lift you up in praise
Humble and caring; sincere through out your days
Every time I think of you, my heart is filled with joy
Remember Bagma Mary! Mamma’s little boy
Sometimes I wonder if I even deserve a mom like you
Doing laundry, cooking, cleaning and encouraging too
All the days of my life you gave me love and support
You’d be the greatest athlete in the world, if only love were a sport

Morning Reflection

Few things I like more than an empty house and a stack of books
The way I steal the wisdom from these words some may call me a crook
Rightfully so, knowledge stolen
My eyes beat that book! Pages swollen
It was a friendly duel; duel indeed
I used to cut school, go home and read
Once read a whole book while sitting in a tree
It was a small book but great to me

My eyes are heavy
But my thoughts are light
My past is calm
But my future excites
No job, no classroom to attend
Inked paper, my most trusted friend
Always here through work and play
My notebook hangs on each word I say
Her pages always remember my words
Some wise, some kind, and some absurd
Always here, always here, always here with me
When I look back on her pages, it’s me I see
She is a wonderful reflection of myself
My frozen thoughts now live on a shelf
Page after page, after page I’ve filled
Book after book, after book I’ve killed

Mind Leaking

My soul gleams bright with persistence
It’s a good thing, for my dreams are resistant
Peter Pan, Never Never Land
I shall give up never never man
Keep on fighting keep on writing
My soul is delighting as my words are reciting
Books are a constant feature
I am a knowledge leacher
It seems the words I teach
Are much stronger when I’m out of reach
As my thoughts are leak’n
I just continue speak’n
I am just a simple man
As relentless as the waves attacking the sand
The ocean and its almighty power
And I’m coast’n in this now mighty hour
Pleasure is sweet but pain is sour
Now rise to your feet, blossom like a flower
There is much power in the words we use
But some just devour and verbally abuse
We all make an impact, be mindful how you choose
Though we remain intact, we all must lose
I recall my actions, sin by sin
My past is split like fractions, lose and win
I tear myself apart, because I love the healing
Then mend my broken heart, because union is appealing
I’m in search of that one special friend
We sacrifice hurt as our hearts we lend
Step by step, I trek on in this life
Surrounded by cause and affect, we all pay a price
I may be weak, but my faith is strong
Won’t be failed by my feet, I will push on
Until there’s no where else to go, then I stop
Many more seeds left to sow, flourish shall my crop

Late into the Night the Vision Shown bright

Just because it’s different, don’t make it carry the burden of better or worse,
Just be grateful that you got it, and store it up in your knowledge purse,
Thank God for the powers, store’em up and disperse,
For every sweet there’s a sour, for every blessing a curse,
Get better or worse, quench hunger or thirst,
Learn to balance action and rest if you wish to be first,
Oh, and if you wish to be first, then learn to be last,
And remember that shining stars always burn themselves to ash,
For nothing lasts forever, except “Forever”,
And nothing should never be said except for “never”,
life’s a risk, so take a chance, do the twist, make a dance,
Keep strong, live long, return to the source
Wisdom so familiar like, “Oh of course”,
Be smart, have heart, hone you intuition
To hell with circumstances overcome you’re disposition
Listen, I’m hiss’n, it’s truth you can’t be miss’n,
It’s all inside purify and watch it glisten,
“Seek first the kingdom of God, and everything else will be given unto you”, and if you steal you get robbed, for others cries should never be fun to you,
I run to you, arms opening wide, you smile and gesture, then brush me aside, I cried, the ocean that day, salty and wet, exhausted I lay,
Deep inside a part of me died, but I can move on because I know I tried,
I’m chase’n my destiny it’s try’n to hide,
Life’s a journey, and a hell of a ride,
Trust my intuition, in myself confide,
All I heard was the truth even though he lied,
My deciphering skills may prevent some kills,
Small glimpses of the future give my mind a thrill,
He’ll, never do the same you can’t predict a bull,
Bull, I don’t believe you,
How can my only choice be to carry you or leave you?
I need you, so I feed you, then build you up and lead you,
I can read you; you’re a book upon these eyes,
And if you look upon these eyes, you will know that souls rise,
And I’s be me, until the death of me,
And I’m to see, yet the best of me,
Cuz I’m try’n to leave, out the rest of me,
But my heart it bleeds, out this bloody ink,
So I stop to think……………
If I sleep tonight, I’ma wake refreshed,
And if I live I might, just die another death,
Unless, I get out alive O, this is what I strive fo,
live’n do or die no, give another trial,
You is in denial, have been for awhile,
Time to change you style, update your file,
I’ll, help if I can do so, a friend is really useful,
A friend is really useful, so help if you can do so
Shhh!
Some things are best take’n to the grave,
Discipline your tongue; make it behave,
Are you a slave to yourself? Or king of your domain?
Do you study by choice? Or do you work in vain?
I’m the Paradox Prophet, wanna get rich without profit?
If you’re hooked on the norm, I can help you get off it,
Flowing water never grows stale, the first step to success is fail,
Still waters run deep, joys of life are free, but don’t come cheap,
Sleep is to the body, what death is to the soul,
Restful rejuvenation, peace is the goal,
Forever changing the way, call to the wise men, drink what they have to say, think what they have to pray, God’s children are poor because the blessed have a price to pay,
Words are powerful, so speak and be strong,
Use’em to build so that strength will live on,
Come on, join our battle, share in our glory,
I sit, coil, and rattle, and face what’s before me,
And before me there were, many greats from the past,
Who mapped out their journey, so I could travel fast
Alas! New found land,
The eye in my mind, is speaking through my hand,
And, what it’s say’n can’t be denied,
Truth be told, it gets me high,
To read the rhymes, that I write,
They came to me like angels in the night

Cultivation

Once upon a time not too long ago
A servant my age was given some seeds to sow
He did all he could; he tried his best
He always had a feeling he would; turn out better that the rest
He was right in a way, but had a lot to learn
He was humbled one day, and had to wait his turn

He might not of wanted to wait
But he accepted his fate

Over time, strength and knowledge increased steady
He knew his time would come, and when it did he’d be ready
He proclaimed his faith through his word and his pen
But few wish to listen to unschooled young men
Discourage him; tie him in a knot
This just encouraged him, for his soul burned hot
Books became best friends; all he needed was time
Observed looks through his lens, the strongest of minds

No stranger to scripture, he turned his life over to the Lord
Walks head high in battle, but he carries no sword
You may ask how can he overcome, something of this magnitude
A good guy for sure, but one Bad Dude!
Ask many questions he’ll tell you no lies
Love, Faith, and Wisdom, the weapons of the Wise
Many had doubts; some called him a bum
Built a temple in his heart, there lied the Kingdom

Finally the time had come, he was ready to go
Never one to be dumb, he took his time, started slow
In a short time, he became skilled in his speech
They loved his lines, and he loved to teach
He sought out their minds, and taught their hearts to reach
Oh what a joy of mine, to hear this man preach

Because of him their dreams became near
Never before had they dreamed without fear
He taught the simple truths, no longer in school
Love your creator, not what is cool
Have faith in yourself, live what you know is right
Remove the ego and behold the light

Knowledge is Power; Wisdom is Peace
But Love is King!
So until your final hour, remember this please,
Love and Faith can accomplish anything!

By Choice, and no Choice at all.

I read by choice
And no choice at all
I read and rejoice
Though rejoiced I fall

I fall by choice
And no choice at all
I happily rejoice
When I rise from a fall

I rise by choice
And no choice at all
I rise and rejoice
As I stretch out tall

I stretch by choice
And no choice at all
I stretch my voice
To thy hearts I call

I call by choice
And no choice at all
I call and rejoice
Though rejoiced I fall

Worthy Oppenent

pray to God
I’m a worthy opponent
Forget the future
Stay focused on the moment
What am I to do
My back against the wall
Am I gonna fall
Ah hell naw!
I?ma fight hard
Harder than before
Get’em in my clinch
Take’em to the floor
Make’em fight my fight
That’s what I’ma do
Get some get right
Choke’em till they blue

Look’em in his eye
Hear his soul cry
He don’t wanna die
Neither do I
Someone gotta go
We both can’t stay
So here we fuck’n go
We fight’n for the day
So let the blows rain
Aim’n for the brain
If he swerve’n out his lane
And he can’t maintain
I?ma make’em pay
And seize the day
Why’s it gotta be
Be this way
Why we gotta fight
Is what they say
I don’t make the rules
But I know how to play
And play I shall, shall I say
Fuck’n with me
Will limit your days

Instrument of Faith

God is with me day and night
His-breath my only air
He has shown me to live right
So righteous fruit I bare

I am at my best, when
Bringing it out in brothers
In this life I shall invest
My loving faith in others

Forgive me if I boast
For humble I wish to be
From life I get the most
When I share my feast with thee

God has opened up my eyes
He gave me life to live
So it should come as no surprise
That all my love I give
