Foreword
69285.pngOde to Mother
The memories outnumber the tears
The hushed cries covet the hidden fears
Missing you daily, wishing somehow you could still be here
All the names that are feeling how I feel, are to many to count or write so their names appear
Numbering the days since I heard you last call my name
Hiding the tracks on my face, knowing life won’t be the same
The thunder, the turmoil, the storms that only you could tame
The walks, the talks, the prayers, I shall relive over and over again
I am so, so thankful for GOD’s grace of you shaping my life
What can I give to the Father, for my debt for you, for giving me one more night
You taught me so much; compassion, love, forgiveness and things will work out right
Challenging my inner self, completing my missions and sleep well through the night
You settled my stomach; you quieted my broken-heart
You showed me strength and courage when I wanted to rip the world apart
Your voice even soothed my soul with every breath you breathed
It was your courage, it was your concern, it was all that makes you Mommy
Forever will I be grateful, forever will we all be blessed,
Please tell my sister I love her, find peace and find a place to rest.
There are days when I feel your breath softly caressing my neck
You taught me to believe in me, and garner my beliefs and always show respect
To be kind and comforting, compassionate and not be afraid to love
So I know the footsteps you left in the sand were blessed by the one above
You have not been an example to me alone, you have touched so many
The mouths that have set at your table, have been blessed and fed plenty
You have shared you self widely, you have been a gift without measure
Beyond family and friends, your spirit was a warrior of unselfish pleasure
Being present in the midst of persons unknown, not in your circle of influence
Never a question, not waiting for an answer, you just make it in your heart to do it
You know you are greatly missed, you are never absent from the table though
There just sits a greater purpose, I know and you know, it is just hard to let go
I pray that you can continue you work according to the maker’s will and purpose
And Mommy I will try to stay kind, stay attentive and live my life in service
I am certain you can imagine, the hearts and minds of those that really need to hear you voice
I feel I am a mountain unmoved, but if you are in the garden picking flowers, make me one of your choice
Your brothers, your grandchildren, nephews and nieces, cousins and friends, we all know that life has to come to an end
But your presence, your words, your works, your praises, your laughter, your tears have become the symbol of a comforting friend.

In Verse
69303.pngLord Grant me PEACE
Lord Give me UNDERSTANDING, but not without JUSTICE;
Lord Shield me with JOY soaked in SERVICE;
Lord SURROUND me with HOPE lest not INSPIRATION.
MY Lord, MY Lord, MY Lord
Lord Shower me with PERSECUTION rinsed in the Cost of LOVING;
Lord Swoon me with CHARACTER emblazoned with INTEGRITY;
Lord Instruct me with GUIDANCE, but not without DETERMINATION;
Lord Resolve in me TRUTH brandished but without JUDGEMENT;
Oh Lord, MY Lord, MY GOD Open thine eyes so that I can See
.
MY Lord, MY Lord, MY Lord
Lord BLESS me with LOVE, but not without the SACRIFICE;
Lord Awaken in me the spirit of CARING, lest not having to CARE OF;
Lord Dare me the HONOR OF PROTECTION, but not until I have been burdened with needing to PROTECT;
Lord Stricken me with WORKS, that FAITH be not DEAD.
Oh Lord, MY Lord, MY GOD Grant me Strength, that I may Provide SERVICE.
MY Lord, MY Lord, MY Lord
Lord Teach me DISCERNMENT while you allow me to Simmer in PURPOSE;
Lord Render me FORGIVENESS, but Raise in me VENGEANCE, and HURT (BROKEN HEARTEDNESS);
Lord Resolve my SPIRIT of NEED and Restore my SPIRIT of DUTY;
Lord Lend me to COMPASSION but not before Writhing in COMPASSION;
Lord of MY Mother and MY Father allow me to FOLLOW YOU that I may LEARN to LEAD.
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
Never has the Silence Been So Loud
As the storm brews and the urging of the rain clouds
Never has the Silence Been So loud
As the echoes’, scream quietly beading down my brow
Never has the Silence been So Loud
As the thunder from my chest muffles the screams of the crowd
Never has the Silence been So Loud
As the colossal moment of now, screaming of being proud
Never has the Silence been So Loud
As the moment that can no longer run, that I need you here and now
Never has the Silence been So Loud
When l sit alone and reflect on my past until now
Never has the Silence been So Loud
When excitement and joy is replaced by disappointment and a frown
Never has the Silence been So Loud
When the conversations stop and trust loses its crown
Never has the Silence been So Loud
When hope turns to despair and fear weighs you down
Never has the Silence been So Loud
When the refreshing rains of truth become watery graves of betrayal leaving you to drown
Never has the Silence been So Loud
That at the door of loss, grief became overwhelming
Never has the Silence been So Loud
Than at the crossroads of love and hate, that death seems so compelling
Never has the Silence been So Loud
Than at the point of betrayal, because confidence was lost and you were the one telling
Never has the Silence been So Loud
Than at the moment, that personal failure was illustrated, and you were the author
Never has the Silence been So Loud
Than at the instant the reflection of God’s hand visibly shown as his hedge of protection
Never has the Silence been So Loud
To hear the hush cries of a broken heart, living in constant denial
Never has the Silence been So Loud
Hearing the mimic of the undertow of a mother’s trepidation longing for her child
Never has the Silence been So Loud
Hearing the knowledge, the truth and the consequences; but never open your mouth
Never has the Silence been So Loud
Hearing innocence stolen and seeing the face of the one so vile
Never has the Silence been So Loud
Hearing the one who came to redeem, answering if he knew you and to that he denied
Never has the Silence been So Loud
The Screams, the hollers, the pain, the remorse, the excitement, the glee
The quiet, the storms, the shelters, the calm, the belief, the unseen
Never has the Silence been So Loud
From the echoes of the break and the shatter of broken lifelong dreams
Never has the Silence been So Loud
As The growing rage that pounds in your heart, when questions are left unanswered
Never has the Silence been So Loud
As the struggle and the battle the ensues when there is unrest
Never has the Silence been So Loud
As when you hear your name was announced but you didn’t answer the call
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
As the time you the question, Do you love me?
And silence erupted
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
When the time came for you to acknowledge righteousness, you stood in silence
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
When guilt overwhelmed you, when asked Who killed your brother’s dream?
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
At the very moment, your best friend told you, I Love You
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
When she cried in your arms, asking, Why did you hurt me?
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
After you brought shame to your Father’s name
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
When you walked away from expectation and disappointment
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
When the rain fell and drowned away your tears
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
As the time hurt, anger, disappointment invaded your tranquility
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
When Love was not enough
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
When you had to choose between the one You Loved and the One You Love
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
To give up your child, because your tomorrow was already decided
Never Has the Silence Been So Loud
When you had to let go over your past, to see your future
In Verse
How precious is the day for the life that we give
How thoughtful are the words and thoughts that we live
How generous is the love that we dare
How much to the hopeless will we be willing to share
What is the value of life if we have no one to share
What is your worth, when no one even cares
What can tomorrow bring, when you don’t even cherish the day
What can I say, when knowingly I won’t show you the way
Where do I find comfort, when I am the reason for the pain?
Where can I hide, when I try to run from the rain
Where does tomorrow find me, as I struggle through the night
Where do I lead, if I am the one scared to take flight?
Which way do I turn, when I am surrounded by self-hatred and delusion
Which course do I choose, when I am the source of all the confusion
Which hate do I choose because I refuse to love myself
Which direction should I go, when I blessed to be the light for someone else
Why are the storms that brew in my life, become the salvation for others I don’t know
Why is my path so daunted with hurt, sorrow and places I never go?
Why is the pain so deep, thorough and wide?
Why is this my appointment, when to myself I constantly lie?
I am Thankful
I wake up in the morning stretching and yawning
Yesterday has already passed, a new day is dawning
Thanking God for forgiveness and I’m steadily yearning
Ain’t nobody perfect and the road that I traveled, I’m steadily learning
I wake up in the morning I stretch and I pray
Thank the Lord for giving me one more day
I wake up in the morning stretching and yawning
Thanking God for this day, it came without warning
To the utterance of my surprise, a beautiful sunrise
Look deep into my eyes, he made me realize
That today is not promised, but his promise he will keep
I wake every morning under the coolness of my sheets
He continues to forgive me, never forsake me is his word
Salvation and determination is the manifestation of his love
I am thankful because you are who you said you are
I am thankful the wilderness had an ending, and you were never far
I am endeared to you forever, never letting me drown
I am blessed because I am standing in the here and now
I am grateful because you showed me kindness and tenderness
I am thankful to you for protection and covering, all the stones that missed
I am thankful because you have forgiven me for all my transgression
I am thankful for your words of encouragement and comfort last forever
I am thankful for you saving me, when I knew I was not living right
I am thankful for my mother and father for giving me life
I am thankful for you, maintaining my fountain, my spring
I am thankful my children are able to receive the same
Wishful Thinking
Time, Abandonment, recourse, unresolved memories go to the dust
Life’s fulfillment comes to bear, a promising future beyond the cuffs
Constraining and framing interludes of dreams and fantasies
The Natural course of possibilities aching to get outside of me
Ifs are imaginably tangibles that populate and pollute my yearning
Tarnishing the acquiescence of my tutelage, discoveries and learning
Trying to diminish the days, I have toiled to remnants of the past
Disavowing the garnered knowledge known to take heed and surpass
Climbing the mountains of superficial entrapments and commandeering adjectives
Fortifying my intentions, renouncing patterns unsubstantiated and so subjective
Clearly, annunciations of gratitude, appreciation and apprehension are cavalier
Objectivity perpetuates duality, internal references and actions to be revered
Is it fragility to isolate character design in personal tolerance and ambition?
Might it be candor to offer a hand to enemies and captives lured to omission?
A rule of thumb, staunch recognition to opposition renouncing my assured rise
Stumbling at the gates of perdition, humbles me and captivates my how’s and why’s
Selfless
Paper, Pens and Paragraphs are a part of my memory
As game is taught to the youth, so is my history
I’m coming to you through your ear opening
Waiting for that day wishing and hoping
To see the sunlight beaming on your forehead
While waking up at noon time to get out of my bed
Not a worry in the world but my hapless soul
Let today be that day for which my dream unfolds
Imagination running wild, as I become the forbidden child
Proclaimed to myself as the vision in the clouds
I don’t worry about another’s giving’s or his wealth
Because I have been entranced to this world to love my self
And, If I had a wish I would wish that I could have
The opportunity not given to me for my boy and my girls to grasp
However, let’s not forget the wisest word soft spoken
Never let your friends pick your enemies,
myself I am quoting
I can’t keep living my life for an unsung hero
Calculated, measured, my life would be no more than a zero
Wise words hope-ful-ly will be reaching
Into the minds of the children that I am teaching
Regenerating thoughts to the youth move without haste
Retouch those who have drifted and lost their faith
I want to be lavish and live in that luxury
And not be hidden by the white cloth the hides my misery
As UnderGround RailRoad Recordings represents
Tutelage of the mind, of an apprentice who is heaven sent
These verses are ideals of an opinionated BLACK man
Not afraid of going to the front to wash his hand
Stories Untold of Diamonds and Gold
And enchantment, as the plot begins to unfold
I’m not pragmatic and I ain’t afraid to tell my story
First, bless the mic, hold your bootstraps and don’t worry
An intelligent black, a.k.a. the ghetto soul
Wise words like a map to find the treasure, the hidden gold
I am not nor do I want to be living in the days of the 50s
But wouldn’t it be damned if I had to watch them act so shitty
Ain’t nothing changed, and more than the scars remain
I wish the life of Harriet Tubman, as I would lead that train
Into the darkness of night let my plot embellish
Together, my sister, and I will stand as if hot dogs and relish
And rise up to lead a nation, with fortitude and justice
Equality is hopeful, but I illuminate the future with a paint brush
Open your mind and let the world grace your presence
The sound, the taste of young mans’ infinite
Ability to teach, to preach as a gifted scholar
Not entranced but in tuned to the almighty dollar
For each one who is gifted, you should lead the way
For those who are unfortunate and have been blinded by the spray
And the poison that they teach our kids
I am trying to hold myself together but why didn’t my brother live?
So much hate and fussing going on in this big old world
Too many blocks to throw rocks at these little girls
Especially the blacks, because they are the root to our futures
Broken and disheartened, but they still think intuitive
Fear is not the answer, it has plagued and robbed, an ingrown cancer
I give my life, and my pad to relinquish the indifference of a stranger
Responsibilities and Excuses
Mental pictures painted by the media
Most Blacks portrayed as killers and villains live coverage to greet-ch’ya
Is it the responsibility or reality of the TV screen?
To depict me as a murderer or a smoked out dope fiend
Tell lies to my adversaries, loved ones and friends
Try me in the public eye, destruction by the media’s hands
What part do I play of edifying the truth?
Am I the seed that they buried establishing my roots?
Will my life be the evening news, the tabloid cover?
Will I rise to the occasion swearing death on my brother?
Will I live my life; trading transgressing for fame?
Will evil dwell in me for people to know my name?
Is my annihilation and reputation fortified in stone?
Will I grant an interview before the executioner turns the switch on?
Every word spoken can’t be paraded as truth
Is it my responsibility, or do I make another excuse?
My cards are on the table, my hands been dealt
I accept my position I feel what was felt
Decision to hate, inflicting suffering and pain
To expose the truth, or to loathe in corruption and shame
Is it right to watch a man lose hope and aspiration
If you could change his outcomes would you except the relation
Watching debauchery and tyranny convolute history and heritage
Misconstrue religious beliefs and community ensemble as justice miscarriage
Pretentious and blind-eye assertions of justice, paralyzing and prostituted hatred
A far cry for limiting boundaries of restitution, civility, humanity muted for decades
On the fence, in the moment, shielded and guarded against retribution and scorn
So to allow bigotry, hatred, oppression, inequality, uncivilized narratives fallen down, pants torn
Sensuality
A close encounter of a wonderful kind, an interpolation of a seductive mind
A reincarnation of a deliberate find, and articulation of a sensual time
Invitation only, from my eyes to your thighs, do you feel the attraction
I can feel your temperature rising, I can see the passion in your reaction
Let the scene unfold, clear blue night, silky skin to the moon exposed
On the warm sheets of the summer sands barely in control
Blended with subtlety, your skin to the glisten earth that bathes you in the light
Illuminating the beauty and the prize gesturing in all of its delight
For this moment is so perfect, unimpeded by bashing shore waters or the fleeting night
At this moment, in this time, my wings are spread to the horizon, I am ready to take flight
Actually they complement the picture adding that surreal sound and touch
Blended together they add harmony to the melody, landscape to the brush
Starting at your toes and feet, I wash gently with the warm waters of the sea
My hands, your legs, your tension oh what a sight, a privilege just for me
Massaging and
