See you when the light’s bright!
I’m so apoplectic, I'm overcome with anger
With the last inauguration, my nation became a stranger
Presidential pardons, billionaires bending backs and knees
Cryptocurrency and AI, inflation will drive up the price of eggs and cheese
The middle class is last, replacing omelets with corn flakes and water
My mother and wife’s past was brighter, compared to the dim future of my only daughter
Trying to make heads from tails, but my conscience asks why bother?
Wild fires burn in California, as snow falls in Louisiana
Used to be a fan of Nelly and Snoop, but I deleted Doggy Style and Country Grammar
Up is down, wrong is right
Our sticks and stones are useless, as America challenges us to a automatic rifle fight!
So we’re hibernating for the next 4 years, see you when the light’s bright!

Time, water, and sand
Notice… how time moves in waves
Like water at the beach
Slow, until the sand shifts
That soothing spritz
Tickles your feet, as the water retreats
As it always has done
You are already one
With both the water and the sand
Understand?

Make them believe like a fairytale lead!
Ideas to reality, work from success
Critics first doubted, but now they’re impressed!
You had to make them believe
Like a fairy tale lead!
Years of perspiration and winkles, on worn rolled up sleeves
Hands get filthy when one builds impossible dreams!
Dirt plus work yields the birth of great things
Dirt under your nails
And cloudy water in buckets and pails
You got it out of the mud
Like a worm or a bug
Persistence paid off in due time
Doubters bore witness once your treasure began to shine!
Thoughts sprouted and grew like a tree
High in the clouds, though most still can’t see
The roots that anchor and nourish reality

Family separated by slavery
My last name is Moore
Because during the Civil War
My Great Grandfather (age 10) was a slave
On the Gordon plantation, and some jerk with the last name of Moore paid
$500 dollars for a kid that was good with a horse
That transaction split up a family in Tennessee and changed the whole course
Of my family’s history
Beyond ‘emancipation’ the Gordon’s remained a mystery
To our family for a few scores and a century!
Until my father, our family’s genealogist
Did some research online, and discovered historical records at some colleges
Birth and death certificates, and DNA cousins on Ancestry.com
They had an annual family reunion in Nashville and invited my dad along!
Dad said it was so odd to walk around the hotel lobby, where the reunion occurred
To meet so many strangers that looked and s... |
The more you know
Scientists say that it rains diamonds on Neptune…
They must study something more useful soon
Sustainable food and clean water for those most in need
Discover aquifers and more disease resistant seed
How about laws to ban violence and greed?
No more gadgets and gossip to consume
Less division, more understanding and room
Diamonds in space are useless if millions are still starving and cold
As the powerful few steal and horde all the diamonds and gold
Rebels of the future, know once you destroy the status quo
Ignorance is bliss, sorrow grows with the more you know…

Thanksgiving is the celebration of Pilgrims killing the Wampanoag people
If you have hair that can defy gravity
Why not just let it be?
If your history lies about our reality
Why not acknowledge the fallacy?
If your beliefs subjugate the global majority
Why don’t we all challenge their fake authority?
If Thanksgiving is the celebration of Pilgrims killing the Wampanoag people
What makes you think, that they think, you and them are 'equal?'
If money and power is just fiction
Then why don’t we just write a new description?

Love is war!
I have been with my spouse for over 25 years
The key to our union is a delicate balance of expectations and fears
We have been in a constant state of conflict since the day we first met
Courtship is a battle, full of wins, losses, and regret
Comprise, doing and saying things against our will
Administering a tail of potions and poisons by elixir or pill
Daily battles make up wars, decades in length
No matter the reason, limit compromise and negotiate from a position of strength!
Sharing a bed is a tug of war of pillows and sheets
Silent struggles, the loser is the one who first speaks!
The best advice that I can share, regarding the cause of the most common marital strain
Is to declare war on the thermostat, I know it might sound insane!
But chances are that you and your most significant boo
Can never agree on exactly what to... |
Where I am versus my desire’s dream
Fail to succeed
Replace want with need
Success has an expensive fee
A result of thousands of mistakes
Joy is brief, disappointment may replace
Give and take, sacrifice, rewards, envy, hate
Impossible is everywhere and answers arrive late
Where I am versus my desire’s dream
May as well be somewhere in between
Distant galaxies and an inch within my grasp
Decades wasted and some wrong decisions in the past
Carved in stone, but now time moves by so fast...
Lessons learned, but mistakes still take place
Seasons change, gray hair and wrinkles changed my face

‘White Bread’ enough is enough!
What math was used to build Africa’s pyramids?
1,000 years before ‘Pythagorean’s theorem,’ is
Western, math and other facts just one big old lie?
Were all Native Americas supposed to die, were all African slaves just happy to work for free, hell is water even dry?
If some of our ‘knowledge’ is fiction, and most of the ‘truth’ a deception
Then my reality is twisted, and I disrespectfully demand an exception!
I refuse to participate in this madness any longer, the ruse is up
The global majority has the numbers, the will, and power, ‘White Bread’, enough is enough!

Hip Hop in middle age…
I’m getting old, but not quite 50
When my rage explodes
Transform like Bill Bixby
Hulkin’ out
So big and green
That I ripped my jeans
But I doubt that most will even get that reference
From old tv shows
I suppose I was the same
When the former generation
Would claim disdain
And a lack of respect
From all of these little whipper snappers
Living with no regret
Responsibilities, fears, or plans for the future
Writing checks and spending cash that their asses ain't even earned yet!
No mortgages, wars, discrimination, and pain
They no longer fight the power, rather seek out to claim
Mere fortune and fame
Making videos, asking strangers to subscribe and like
Their opinions and comments, every hour of the day and night
