WINDS OF CHANGE - 11-04-2008 (Ode to President - Elect Barack Obama)

WINDS OF CHANGE - 11-04-2008 W hen Sam Cooke was born... He was born by a river A river whose current was propelled by the winds... Winds of change... - Strange how seasons via no reason make pretty leaves of high altitude fall to the earth... - Funny how life's stages rage in growth and in decline after birth... - Crazy how we realize that if one keeps living they will be elevated by the better and reduced by the worse... - Eerie how a prospering human body potentially leads a promising life w… Continue

BAD BREAK UPS

Thoughts are consumed via the unrest that's suspended adjacent a heavy heart within a congested chest... Guilt accosts the conscience committing crimes on every paradigm that the brain journeys through... You never imagined that your significant other would snap your pride and feelings...in two... But unfortunately the "downs" of relationships came up and the "ups" went down... The river which rapidly carried you to romance's plateau... Is causing you to drown... Sweet love sounds have converted… Continue

Are You a Walking Action Item? (IF YOU THINK YOU ARE...PLEASE READ)

Do you find yourself having to update calendars, blackberries, internet accounts, and schedules? What about returning phone calls from a couple of weeks ago? Oh, did you make those travel arrangements to L.A.? Did the facilitator tell you about the change in the agenda? Did you pay your bills? I'm sure you forgot about your brother's 40th birthday celebration? Let me guess, you just remembered that you took more leave then you had saved at work. Don't forget about your deadline in a couple of we… Continue

I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE BAD NEWS!

Instead of watchin' CNN... I'll flip to TV Land and take a peek at Rin Tin Tin... Instead of viewin' Fox News... I may catch Different Strokes or Hill Street Blues... Lord...just let Fiction take away from the friction reality has manifested... My heart, mind, and wits have been seriously tested... All I hear about are lay-offs natural disasters oil prices and vices that people turn towards as they approach hard times' door step... Media incites hysteria from everything dealing with polygamy… Continue

Mother: The Love of my Life

To my favorite girl who carried and nurtured me... ...Incandescent love lights of agape practically blinded me when I was extracted from the womb... Essential vitamins, minerals and everything spiritual... ...flowed through the umbilical As I hibernated within the tomb... Trimesters were the ultimate tester of time... A shine emitted as she smiled...looked at me and said: "You're all mine" Cute was I as the onlookers marveled ...but as I grew... Mom didn't hesitate to rap that behind in influe… Continue

Could I Pour my Poetry all over You?

I mean...
I'd love to baptize
you face first
and let the lyrics
lather upon your cheeks...
Or would you rather me
allow the verses
to gather
within the liquidy stanzas?
...As the mantra
inside each soap sud
when chanted
is equivalent to
13 face rubs
while the immersed muse
diffuses
any chance of negativity
from occurring...

When I drop the p

SEXY IS COOL...BUT...

In life,
True advancements
are made
in the middle of the night
and windows are
blocked by shades...
When no one's lookin'
that's when one needs
to be cookin' up something
more positive...and more powerful
than ever before...
Elbow grease and midnight oil
go together like
leftovers and aluminum foil...

But not only at night...
What about during the weekends
and holidays when peers frolic
and parlay at the big social
and/… Continue

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…

You know what is sad in all this, the sentiment on this board is not about wanting to see justice, because frankly those on this board have shown they could care less about facts (not a single person here has seen the court documents of the case oth…

Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?
