When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Pen-man-ship
Blank Slate
Here I stand
and you with your 8x5 stature.
Pure as an Angel's wings,
staring back with compassion and defiance.
You wait for me to squeeze out every ounce of my soul,
and I know you want it.
I can see it in your smooth blue waves of seduction.
Your Love so strong yet,
my challenges so deep.
Will you love me after I've told you I've used you?
Manipulated you for my own selfish purpose?
Or will you trust me and have faith,
that it was writtin' all for purpose,
We're all soldiers.
We're all lovers.
Most remains a mystery to all,
but your pain I perceive on both sides.
How can I not do what nature tells me?
What the law commands me?
From the dirt I arose damnit!
Now turn over so I can fulfill my duties.
Slowly I release the essence of what's inside
delicately,
as I grip each strand of Vellum's empty bliss
like that of a virgin,
And I shall see her no more.
How can I explain to you.
So much ink spilled.
My love tattooed on your slopes
You revealed a felt on yellowish shade
And opaque became a whispering moment.
Vellum,
how could I be there for you?
For once the page turns, there is no looking back.
Only the present moment,
and your the one presented Vel.
You stare at me with that blank stare
And I feel..
No I know that
I have to go to war for your love.
I do it for your glory every time Vel,
so tell me..
Why?
Why every time that I see you again,
it's that same empty look?
Hollow and void.
As if my truths weren't enough from the beginning,
who are you?
You say nothing,
express nothing,
your love is a weapon Vel,
as pure as Your ivory sheets,
my heart's desire.
So here I stand.
O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of the LORD. For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with eastern ways; they are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they are pleased with the children of foreigners. Their land is also full of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; Their land is also full of horses, and there is no end to their chariots. Their land is also full of idols; They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. People bow down, and each man humbles himself; therefore do not forgive them.

I don't wanna hear your lies!
you've created nothing
new, novel, nor original.
Was it not the preacher
who said 'that which is
has already been done'?
Then why is it that
you continue to vomit
your blasphemies in my direction?
Was it not the prophet
who said 'they worship the work
of their own hands, that which
their own fingers have made...
Therefore do not forgive them'?
Then who do you proclaim
yourself to be?
How can a King stand
crowned
without
humility?
Have you forgotten
the honor,
the heritage.
Those names such as:
Brother X
Doctor King
Honest Abe
Blessed Augustine
Christ Jesus
Some people die
for the cause.
Most people live,
just be cause.
'In that day a man
will cast away his idols of silver
and his idols of gold,
which they made, each for himself to
worship.'
Parasitic in nature
this pride,
with this Creator,
will take my life.
The stone that the builder refused

…Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men

No Church in the Wild
You only live once,
so the motto is live fast and die young.
"Petty Treason!" I yell as the priests lips drip with flattery and lies.
And the prophets vision,
it is that of a false witness.
There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way of death.
Cursed is the man whom the lion eats
so that the lion will become man.
This is the way of an adulterous woman she eats,
and wipes her mouth
claiming that wickedness is not of her.
Thus committing the unpardonable,
leading the sheep to their slaughter.
Iniquity is inevitable,
and no transgression is found to be greater than another.
Still I lament the great sin we commit
when our greed of pleasure and kingship,
drive us to kill our own brother.
For charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
but in the depths of the invisible lies the everlasting.
Blessed is the lion that the human being will devour
so that the lion becomes upright.
For better is a poor man who walks in his integrity
than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.
The righteous may fall every day of the week yet,
they still shall rise again.
As for the wicked,
they shall fall by calamity
and their motto will be fulfilled.

Wrong Way Up
There is tyranny in the souls of men
disguised as Kingship
and democracy.
Legions Battle
in the name of prideful wills,
witness this hell we've manifested.
A suicide unspoken
the garden's secret
right in plain sight.
For surely we will die when we eat.
Plain and simple
a Father's warning.
Yet still the tyrant rises.
Forms Descend
vibrations lessen
bonds weaken.
We choose the shackles of fate
bound by the limitations of time, space, and dimensions.
The I enslaves
Reduced to survival,
tyranny confessed.

Oh Yahweh!
How far must we stray from you
before we realize the error in our ways?
I myself have become a stranger
in a strange land.
My people they groan
and here I am.
Hiding my shame as our father Adam,
afraid to face your Glory.
And You
Abounding in faithfulness,
rich in mercy,
pure in Love;
Show me the serpent my staff has become,
and the sea that will soon separate.
The blood of the lamb shall protect us
on this walk through the valley
amongst hell and high waters.
A whales spectacle
beside a shark's feast,
as volcanic remnants
anxiously clinch at our sandals' grooves.
Yet my people they groan,
and here I am.
Enmity abounds between brethren,
and they pray for the event of my demise.
Mana fills the heavens to our heart's desire,
yet they plot;
Birds overcrowd the sky with amazement and promise,
yet they plot;
You walk with us; cloud by day, fire by night,
yet they plot!
Heavy is the staff which is surrounded by the serpent.

See Chris, See Pac;
Embraced a culture,
slain by their heritage.
See Martin, See Malcolm;
Overcame a culture,
slain by their heritage.
See John, See Bobby;
Supported a culture,
slain by their heritage.
See Abraham, See Wilkes;
Denounced a culture,
slain by their heritage.
See Jesus, See Judas;
Transcended a culture,
fulfilled a heritage.
Slain by both.
So "God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace."
Amen.

Winter’s Leave-in’
When you look in the mirror, what is it you see?
A body or a soul?
Eyes, Ears, Nose, Mouth?
Or a spirit that's just grown old?
Respect the order it's for a reason,
discover the 3 and the 4th ceases treason.
Most remain only for a season
so when it's spring's time,
see the winter's leave-in'.
When a rapper shoots
it's only thoughts that harm.
To survive some loot
as farmers do farm.
But all words they are seeds
that shall grow abundantly indeed
as a resultant of our needs
we interpret what we read.
Is it wheat? Is it weeds?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
everything is everything,
the lover the same as the soldier.
There's strife inside,
it's a war outside.
We fight for beliefs
but ignorance is bliss,
so it's a war of pride.
In the mirror can you see what's bequeathed?
