Fire like ice runs through me,
Angry heat burning my skin,
Flames licking at my heart,
Jealousy, shame, rage, despair.
Fear.
Fingers touch me and turn me to caramel,
A sucrose doll.
Sweet and pliable ...

My eyes are brown but anyone would think they were green right now,

I can’t believe that I was falling in love with you.
The things that we’ve done, were kept between me and you. I should have had my guards all the way up.
But my sinful self let the lust fuck me up.

It’s all noise.
A cacophony of opinions,
rattling around in the sponge in your skull.
If you allow it, the voices can thin your blood,
depriving you of the oxygen that keeps your heart ticking.

I bleed.
It’s not quiet.
Not a pitter-patter of summer raindrops on gossamer rooftops. It is not shy.
It is a raging fire than burns through oppressive cloths that marks its territory with crimson cou...
Straight or Gay ?
Am I straight or gay ? I heard you say...
I ask why it bothers you anyway ?
Why judge a man by what's in his heart.
Why judge another when you never walked their path.

The last two words heard before the jump.
Man down.

Flattened in a fleshy puddle of blood and dirt.

Blood, Sweat, and Fire
The Wonderful World of Disney gave us a Sunday evening rest,
We anticipated Ed Sullivan’s line up of guests
Until Huntley and Brinkley had breaking news
Of another bloody episode of what we were going through,
There was a march on the Pentagon,
Pressure was mounting and Johnson was sweating.
While the politicians were working to save face
Deafening chants were demanding an end to the war.
Something started with a cab driver in Newark,
Cops didn’t like the way he drove the ...
I hold his hand and squeeze it tight
Tell him everything’s gonna be alright
I tuck him in bed, snug and tight
Leave on the hallway light
I kiss my daddy goodnight
I see the love in his old gentle eyes...
The black woman is dirt
Yes. Ah yes, you heard me right, I said: the black woman is dirt
But before you go up in arms listen to what I have to say first
The black woman is indeed dirt

Why this lack of honesty I thought that we meant more than that. Stop with your confusion. I know you're stupid like that. I have this from every other angle. You know exactly what it is that your doi...
I cannot believe you sometimes. I am not going to be a last resort anymore.
I will not be an option, sliced like an apple because it cuts me to the core.
Of course, with you, it’s dates before mates. ...

Equality is for what I strive;
Passion is with what I thrive.
It simply takes drive;
We just have to dive
Into this ocean of lies
And purify the water with time.
It's not a task for one

They imploded the Kingdome today.
Odd—I would have thought an 80 million dollar roof would have hovered after the explosions, but it didn’t. It fell like the 80 million dollar lump of concrete and til...

I believed God had left us along time ago,

Many people think I'm religious,
Just because of the modest way I dress,
But let me inform you I am far from it,
Instead of remembering God,
I've done many things to forget about Him

Damn.
It is a perfect day outside.
The breeze brushes the acorns
and the smell of charcoal reminds me

Why do we wait,
Until it’s too late,
Before we try to make a change?
Maybe because,
We’re too ignorant or arrogant,
To realise our initial mistakes,
Or maybe we have this,
Senseless faith,

Love is the best feeling in this world

Because the two love birds were on a beach
The lady remains, thinking, ...
From the night in her skin to kink of her hair
The sun in her smile to the stars in those eyes
I know that Melanin is beautiful
The beauty that glows through her

You point at us and laugh
and say that we’re trash
while you make cash from the blood of our sons,
wash the stains from your hands, and sweep up the ash.

There's a place for you,

For your disgusting atrocities.

Eulogy to a player piano
played only by mice.
Strings twang untuned
