LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

Mother Earth gave birth to us- love the roots

Nubia, Asia and the Hispanics

Ain't it love keepin' us high?

Like our dance, sex and marijuana

Where there's smoke- must be fire

Maybe I'll fly away from the ghetto

How much Afrika is left in us

Hot enough to make Black women sweat

Feast of the flesh- sex at the Carnival

Taste of the soul- I lick the lyrics

Campfire songs- see the girls dance

Children play together as we politic

White people listen and wonder-

How I connect the roots to my kaya

Sons of the Zulu- move like Shaka

When they touch us- don't they catch fire?

Age of Aquarius- enter the Dragon

Holy Ghost- Angel of the Womb

Feel my supernatural high

Smoke- and plant the seeds on my tomb

I'm a Voodoo Priest- I got medicine

We can drink the ganja like wine

All o' my people sick wit' white fever

SLAVES WHO LOVE THEIR MASTER

Among fallen angels-

The original devil is dead

But he had disciples-

And one became master

Of the fruit of the tree-

Of the knowledge of good and evil

They can't understand-

All their stolen information

But knowledge is power

And the children of God became slaves

Can they ever know freedom-

These slaves who love their master?

Don't they have a new messiah?

Perform wonders and miracles?

All in the name of technology-

And the lords of superstition

Slaves who love their master-

Are domesticated animals

Some of the masters have churches-

But their gods are not yours

Where are my brothers?

Have we forgotten our Father?

Don't our women pray and sing-

That we rise from the dead?

I am the son of a Black God-

Where are the roots of our tree?

Are we hated and feared-

Because o...

DISCIPLE

Must we build a new school and temple?

Must we break the ground and the walls?

Who let demons inside the gates?

No choice but to watch an empire fall

I love wisdom more than wealth

Is there a Master qualified to teach?

Racist hatred and mis-education-

Left God beyond my reach

The power of faith can raise the dead

If through patience I choose to receive-

A name on my heart- written by my Creator

I'm not the first or last to believe

If I was fire- I'd be the Sun

If I was light- I'd come from the East

And in the end- when all is said and done-

They'll know that I worked for peace

If I was a flower- I'd be a rose

If I was a bird- I'd be a dove

And in the end- when all is said and done-

They'll know that I worked for love

SEASON OF THE WITCH

...and the gods made love-

Supernatural animals

Thousands of miles apart-

We still touched- it was beautiful

Whatever she is called in this life-

Last time she was a goddess with no name

Aquarius Khan- it is I- dare approach her?

3 gifts- my poetry, a candle and a rose

Across the great ocean- Motherland and her sisters-

Never met- but still attached at the roots

Moon in the sky- circle of ashes on the ground-

They mix the milk of a female goat with wine

Intoxicating smoke and the dance of angels

Awake- she met me in a dream and we kissed

"Not too much- not too soon"- said the mistress of time

Patience and faith is how 2 become 1

Ancient rituals- naked women dance unseen-

By men who would rather lust than understand

You can't touch their flesh without touching their souls

Daughter of God- sing your words to your son

I watch...

LOVE NEVER DIES

At the end of the age of innocence-

Boy meets girl- and love stories begin

All that matters is you and I

Don't others play games that are foreign to us?

Can our first kiss truly be the first one?

Or must we compare to the last one that hurt us?

All I wanted when I was alone-

Was a woman who could make it feel new

A garden is not the same as a jungle-

Where animals roam in the thrill of the chase

First we make love- and then make war-

Based upon a true story

The call of the wild for creatures like us-

Is a contact sport- we both want to touch

We call it love- but that's only a word

Neither of us can say what the thing truly is

We created this child beyond our control-

Must we get involved in the battle of the sexes?

First we make love- and then make war-

Based upon a true story
