The state of affairs
pressed, pressed, pressed
pressed down
knees hit the floor board
melt into the cracks
laughing manically like a crack
addict. What is this?
.....
I don't even know anymore
I don't even care anymore
I just... pressed, pressed, pressed
pressed down
but I will rise again

Pro Con
Contemplating the pros and cons
of being a pro. con man
I can't confess to my wife how I provide
she will probably tell me "con, done with it!'
cuz she doesn't condone it!
but I love my job - I'm a con gaining
so much money that one safe house can't contain it!
This is such a contrast to when I was constantly working
as a construction man. Building other people's mansions
while I lived ...

Aiming
Aiming for nothing but net,
that is, a net worth of one billion George Washington
Dollar bills paying off these utility bills and moving up to Beverly Hills
Aiming to satisfy my lust and greed, but yet
I feel this birth curse called sin, weighing me down like a ton
a ton of bricks falling back to back on my back - dying of cheap thrills!
Aiming to turn this all around
forget the rhyme...

Love making
Wedding bells chime, the ceremony is over
Rice rises as we make haste down the aisle
been waiting for this day more than a little while
the day that I am able to fully embrace my lover
bad company asked me what's the point in waiting?
while they were having sex, our love was in themaking
an intercourse of the mind and soul as we Christian mingled
minus the worldwide web but we still c...

I tried
to keep up with the popular kids,
to be Mr.Charismatic
to be cool like the Arctic
to be hot like the estival heat
to be fit like an athlete
to keep up with the popular kids
I tried
God knows I did try,
but why?
It was all trial and error
nobody knew my name
was referred to as failure
a misfit like Social Club
an anomaly like Lecrae
a renegade like Script
an alien li...

Freestyle verse #1
What is there to gain
for sticking out against the grain?
You think it's fun to be called insane?
Not in it for the fame,
this is not a game
I ain't trying to entertain
no, no, don't care if you never know my name
just trying to stay in my lane
Yh, I want to assist those in pain
but sorry, I'm no Superman, so Lois Lane
if you are counting on me, you will be Lois slain.
I'm not the s...

Unrequited Love
Te amo tanto que me duele
You didn't get that, did you?
But can't you see it in my face
a love that aches my very soul
Like Mars, ' I'll catch a grenade for ya!'
but you must be Venus...do you not see
it is my will I am stuck in love?
'Te amo tanto que me duele!'
You gaze into my pupils and
seem oblivious to my amor
God free me from this dolor!

Domestic Drama (Part 2)
I could probably break his hand
or end it all -slaughter the man
if I had a chainsaw,
I could cut them to pieces in their sleep
starting with my sister snoring in my bed
then bring the broom
try to sweep away the evidence
take out the trash
feed the dog and cats raw meat
'you'll probably be caught
but then you can plead insanity'
Wait, this is insanity
this is really craz...

Sigh,
All I ever wanted was to be me
All you ever wanted was me to be
a mirror of your 'pristine' image
Of course, I aimed to please
I was your dog on chain
with no hope for release
but that was bound to change
My dear, pigs don't fly
and hell will never freeze over
but just like that Frozen song -
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
U and I are separated by an O,
an O for ocea...

Grammar school
wish I went
because after I've spent
so many time writing a piece
the reviewer tells me that I misused
an apostrophe. Forgot a comma and a letter
I'm a green writer - I can do better.
Roll on and maturity is what I need
''If you live for their acceptance,
you'll die from their rejection.''
Lecrae said that in a rap song
guys got a couple of Grammys but

I know better
so why don't I do better?
Be angry and sin not
that's what the word says
obscene language,
that's what the world says
I'm tired and cranky
and frankly,
I just want to lie in bed
but lo and behold!
She is sleeping there
like Snorlax or Goldilocks
and I'm suppose to bear this?
too tired to fume
want to sweep this away

May we never lose our wander!
When we were wanderers
a house was what we wished for -
rooftop to cover us from the cold and heat,
walls to block the preying people.
Back then we were praying people.
Pathetic paupers? Perhaps, but
as wanderers we were at home in the Lord,
Our Rock and Refuge, singing happily,' Hallelujah!'

Shawdy
You the best (for now)
but don't get conceited
quickest way to get dethroned
is to condescend the shoulders you stand on
No man is an island
Shawdy, act high and mighty
and you'll end up in no man's island
Humble yourself
or you'll get humiliated
worse yet - you might get annihilated

It's all about the paper
My dad is Chinese
but I'm white.
No wonder the westerners love me
in fact everyone loves me
but still everyone distrusts me
maybe, it's because I never speak my mind
I don't speak a word
not until I'm pressed to do so
and then all I'm doing is agreeing with the man
The man has used me to advocate truth and lies
I've sentenced guilty and innocent alike to death

Colourful creation
grassy green pastures,
brown skin pastor
singing rhythm and blues
about the crimson red flow
that makes me and you
white as snow
snow, fades as it melts
but the sky is left
with a colorful belt
that reminds us that this green earth
will not drown in muddy brown waters
let's sing the rhythm and blues
about the crimson red flow
that makes me and you

Breaking News
I don't get it. I don't get it
but what is there to get?
brainwashed snow white
Sprinkled with truth but
it's all lies. They all die
perishing for lack of...
ellipsis but nothing is
omitted. they shut the
truth into the closet and
spread that blah blah blah
fake news - nothing new
same ol', same ol' cliche
''I have a dream...''
King, wake up!

Delightfully blown away
My courage in the middle of nowhere
she came into my life like a grenade
I reeled back to familiar territory
and stepped on a land-mine
Blown away! We both were and then we weren't...just
a myriad of incandescent stardust undulating like waves
in a sea of oblivion...a sea that conquered the byzantine
walls I erected to safeguard...? (NOTHING, nada, zip, zero)
HA!...Hahahahaha!...

lost for words
Yet the memory is vividly

I close my eyes and see

they scurry in a frenzy to evacuate...as for me
I'm magnetized to my cold metal chair

but we are still ignorantly forced to

that this man is also three in one
the son in the Holy Trinity
painfully crucified by us three

I vowed to you
When I said I do
I really meant I don't,
I don't ever want to leave your side
When I said I will love and protect you
I really meant by God's grace I won't ever harm or neglect you
When I said you are my one and only
I really meant you and I are twain become one and only
now we can lie together in truth - undefiled

Broken
Broken people.
Broken homes.
Broken souls.
Who can make them whole?
Not him who stands loftily as a steeple
but him who died on the rugged cross
died to save the lost
Christ Jesus, the son of God
and so cries Jesus, ' turn to God!'
and he will turn all your ashes into beauty
and this I can say truthfully
because my life is a testimony of his grace
To God be the praise

Hunger
Unlike a book with all blank pages
I don't need food for thought

I'm as hungry as a half-dead, raving dog
fried chicken dipped in honey flavoured barbecue sauce, sweet and spicy Italian sausage
just out of the oven hot fresh bread, juicy steak

Water works
God's love is unconditional
but he shut up the seas behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb
and set its doors and bars in place
when he said, " This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt.
So I won't let you drown me
as your tears fill the dead living room
I proceed to leave.

Weary souls
Weary souls, rue the day we set sail
Afloat a ship, amiss in a misty sea
In the still air, still here, praying for a strong gale
Come wind, 'wind come blow us away' we wail
Land ho!, Land ho! we wish to see
Weary souls, rue the day we set sail
Oh how robust we were! Now our frame is so frail
Not all of were religious, but all of us are on one knee

If I think real hard about it I start feeling blue

Thoughts they replay and replay
Think I gotta air it out

Advice to a poet
Take your time
Don't just try to rhyme
Put meaning into every line
No, it doesn't have to come out right
Just write
It's fine
Every piece reviewed and refused can later be renewed
Break it down and then stick it together with crazy glue
Don't mind if they call you crazy - you
You are an idealist in the realist eyes
But they fail to realize
Reality is dynamic

I can get no rest

With this tormented soul
Tormented soul
Agony like mahogany
Wooden chair slammed on my back (OUCH!)

Like having food on the table comfort me

And that's just the appetizer before the main...
