Deception

The All

all exist
before the universe
               was made

                    gas and dust
           and myriad grades
           of shade

        
          quantum things
          of branes and strings
            and odd imaginings

          long before serpents dwell
                       in the land of Eden

Puppet

Strings taut ~

    the doll twists

    just
    a single movement
    of the puppeteer’s wrist

        nimble hands
        orchestrate mischief

                  sleight of hands
           mask the outcome's
           aftermath

Veracity

There're no truths      
                   no lies
        
           none exist  .  .
        
           but for the relationships
                 
                          interpretations
               
           and

There Was Once a Place

Can’t be saved
but need help

            healthy
   but ain't well

                             afraid to fall
            never was taught to fly
            
                    no balance . . .
                    
            just broken pieces
            of bones and sorrow
            <...

Be Proud

Be proud and thankful
for your black skin

           You're gonna be 25
        for the next 40 years
        
                      Stay Blessed

Tell Your Kind

Dear White Politicians  .  .
don't go to black churches

    and tell Black Folk
    how much you hate racism
    
             Go to White Churches
                    and tell your kind
