The Sparrows Praise

A Piece of My Mind

No copyright infringements or plagiarism necessary

I’m here to share a wealth of knowledge…..to some that may sound scary

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, some would arbitrarily say

If my sharing helps someone, then…. I don’t mind, giving it away

My bible says to give and it shall be given to you, in good measure

Pressed down, shaken together and running over, such an endless treasure

Every time I share one poem, God replenishes me with two

So really what’s the big deal….if someone borrows a few

If you should take this liberty, you’ve now become my apprentice

God does not condone usury, but I’m sure, he’ll repay me with interest

It may seem inconceivable that my poems continue to mount

Let’s see….500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000….I’m sorry….. I just my lost count

A part of me resides in every w...

I feel The “Poetry Vibe”

I came here to write, because I love to read

It only requires pen and paper, to fulfill my poetic need

With each stroke of my pen, I’m transcending my concentrations

With the beginning of each new line, I’m completing my liberation

Whether discussing urban warfare, injustices, love, or politics

My emotions are never fleeting, and each point eternally sticks

Darwin couldn’t have ever theorized, nor could nature have resolved

A gathering of so much artistic talent, where poetry would evolve

A dynamic forum filled with class, where literary inventions come alive

Poetry doesn’t merely exist, through pure expression it really thrives

Poetry frees my mind from the bondage of suppressive inner disputes

As we plant these seeds of thought, to produce the healthiest fruit

Reverberating concepts, sounding a unified tone

Deliberating on precepts, letting us know...

March (Must Read)

 March! Always leading April, while chasing February; yes go ahead if it's absolutely necessary

March! In the waning days of our historical month, the whole world should confess; March! we received the shortest span but we always do more with less

March! Always forward never to the rear; March! through uncertainty, doubt, unconditional hate and fear

March! With spontaneity and without hesitation; this is our battle cry for equality and complete liberation

March! For a purpose and stop pacing the floor; we're not expecting a handout, we're marching for an open door

March! To preserve your heritage and to restore our future; March as a sacrifice, not casually at your leisure

March! To the beat of the drum line, keeping our cadence strong; until we have overcome becomes, our celebratory victory song

March! In every season, never questioning why; coordinated and synchr...

Marriage Prayer

 Lord Bless our marriage, anointing our wedding vows; we're asking you for the future because we trust in you right now

As we enter holy matrimony please show us the way; to be husband and wife for a lifetime and bride and groom for a day

We won't go it alone as some others might allege; please enter the words we speak as we make this solemn pledge

As we leave the altar walking hand in hand; let every step we take into our marriage be ordered in your plan

Two separate individuals have become a single pair; keep us bound within your spirit this is our marriage prayer

Lord please bless our marriage on this our wedding day; as we stand before you together this is where we will stay

Standing in your presence we know what's at stake; bless this to be a marriage that only you can make

Shelter us with your kindness and surround us with your peace; give our home an environment where patience will always increase

For eve...

The Twins

 The Twins
Am I you are you me when people look at us exactly what do they really see
Do I have your spirit living in me when we walk together do our hearts agree.
I can see that you don’t share a body but do you share the same mind
It appears that without each other’s eyes you would both be half blind
I wonder do your hearts beat in the same rhythm and at the same time
The likeness you share is amazingly uncanny but yet so sublime
In the nine months that you shared together inside your mother’s womb
Was this your first playground or maybe it was your first dressing room
You walk alike you talk alike and your differences are so very rare
The one main constant is your radiant spirit which both of you share
When the world looks at you they may just see two people having fun
But through my eyes I see two bodies whose spirit is blended into one
Through your concepti...

Deltas Extreme

Delta Sigma Thetas, they’re the world’s greatest motivators; they show love to everyone, but especially to their haters
Who and what is a Delta and what makes you so unique; as I began to learn of you, it was like examining a rare antique
As your history starts to get long, you keep getting strong; the words are in your hearts, so you can’t change your song
As you near this; your historic centennial celebration; you can look back, at the courageous twenty two with inspiration
Through their diligent effort, these ladies paid the price; On January 13, 1913, Delta Sigma Theta, broke through the ice
In a far distant land, far away from this bison birth; eight Delta sisters unite, to make it seem like, the best place on earth
Kandahar Afghanistan, brought you together physically here; but a pledge you made long ago, will always keep you near
They’re triangular ladies, in this very dangerous combat zo...

Captain of The Clerggy

 Captain of the Clergy
They sent a clergy into a combat zone and now that very reason is greatly unknown
He was known as a Captain by rank and title; but his work for the clergy is what became most vital
Are we not all soldiers in the army of the Lord; diligently working for our glorious and eternal reward
Therefore this garment we wear in this environment; does not always our true selves always represent
For they are only clothing of our service to man; but our spiritual garments fit into my god’s plan
This one clergy to which, I happen to speak; is always willing to help the poor and strengthen the weak
They issued him a rifle for his protection over here but I know that god has not given him the spirit of fear
The weapons of his warfare are not carnal I am told; but he is mighty through God pulling down strongholds
Every day at the ready he stays lock and loaded; with his discerning spirit the devils s...
