Seasons

For thousands of years
It has always been this way,
Although we thought we were
The first generation of kids.
Our parents were so old and
So wise they could never have been
Kids. The world was
our Playground. It evolved
Around us.
Three generations later, kids today
probably believe the same.
Oblivious to who came before,
until they discover themselves
And write their original
Stories, like we did,
make mistakes
Distinguish themselves
with families, vi… Continue

Youth!
Copyright©2009 by Ronald Steele
Cockiness borne of inexperience is youth.
When these “ambitious” youth discover they can
have an impact on others, they push it to
the limits, and we all follow them – nobody
Knows where this energy will lead – anything’s
Possible with youth. Not hindered by experience,
Youth have fresh eyes and bounds of energy.
But, for lack of experience, i.e., lack of vision,
Lack of purpose, and lack of goals, by the time
They realize the impact they had it’s long g… Continue

Is eternal life a hoax?
Copyright©2006 by Ronald Steele
A plant buds and blossoms into a stunningly beautiful flower
Like nothing you ever saw before, and in their season, they are abundant
Both in number and awe.
And, then they die. And, that’s pretty much the end of it. Or is it?
I mean, do plants reincarnate, do fish, deer, chickens, why would some beings and not other beings? Why would people and not plants reincarnate?
Is this it, the end? In heaven or Paradise, where would all those p… Continue

Prove It!
I resented that cracker telling me
that Blacks have to prove to whites
That they can coach an NFL team, or lead anything.
He says, the exploited has always had
To prove themselves as the spoils
of the ruling class. But, I say, Blacks proved
we can do anything anyone else could do
at birth. God gave no one more than He gave
Black people; come to think of it,
He may have given others less:
-- pigment
-- rhythm
-- physicality
So, whose got to prove what to… Continue

A Commitment to Love
of love, the feel of love, the joy
love brings.
But, when a person loves,
even when it doesn’t
taste good or feel good,
and it doesn’t seem to bring joy,
that person is committed to love.
Those who love and are
unable to weather storms, are
lovers, predicated on love, but
they are not committed to love,
and so, love departs.
When you are
committed to love, even
when love doesn’t
taste good or feel good,
and it doesn’t seem to bring you joy
your love endures.

Just Happy Kids
when we were all kids one day,
just happy to be
happy kids.
We knew for sure almost nothing,
which everybody thought was cute, innocent,
unbiased, naïve. Everybody liked us more.
And so did we like each other more.
But, as we learned more, they began to like us less. And,
as we grew and became more of who we were
than who they wanted us to be,
they loved us even less, and when out
there on our own, we made a mistake, they hated us.
And, so the rot set in, the… Continue

She Eats Men
and spits out little boys
She's got that look
those eyes
soft eyes
you-can-have-me-eyes
She's got that body
oooh, that buxom body
voluptuous, powerful
piece of body --love, man
She's got that face
them legs, oooh, them legs
and that big ol butt, yeah
But she eats men and spit out
little boys
She don't love men, ‘cause
one hurt her
some hurt her
'cause she never forgave them or herself
she don't love herself
She loves to eat men and spit out
little boys
She loves the chase. She… Continue

Love Refugee
I’d like to think no chagrin,
I planned my adult life and
made the most of the strife
I have many imperfections
that challenge my collections,
but I’m pretty content, I don’t
worry about paying rent.
But in my deepest of hearts,
I am occasionally reminded
of what my life has parted:
Like when a woman said
of a good man,
he’s a Mama’s boy,
I knew he would be
good for me.
Another said,
you can tell
how a man will
treat his woman
Look how he
treats his mother.

Richard Wright (Kwansaba) Nat Turner to Native Son, Tick-Tock
Until Richard “Bigger” Wright told them so
Holding Blacks down by an abiding fear
Made them destroy what Whites held dear
Using crime to say, “I am human!”
Exposes secret reason for the Civil War:
Bigger Thomas lives at Whites’ back door.

Born with Everything To Lose
everything you could ever want.
You’re King or Queen of your
entire world. Whatever
you want to do is cute.
Need to go, let go. Need anything
just cry. It’s okay.
Mommy/Daddy’ll
figure it out.
You just eat, puke, sleep, or crap in the middle of traffic
or home on the range
Well, that’s not exactly cute,
but, nobody criticizes, so
it’s cool.
Praises and the highest aspirations
for the moment –
People beam and say: You could help change
The world someday.
