Re: Poems By SpiritualONE


I wrote this poem about the WTC Bombing and I want to share it with my reading audience. It's entitled:


"The Tragedy of Flight"

Everytime I see a big jet in the sky
I'm reminded of how many people had to die
They perished at the hands of people unknown
They'll be missed by their families, and their children need a home

It wasn't fair to see so many perish
In a tower of Babel where money is cherished
The world can now began a careful examination
To explore this tragedy which affects every nation

I wrote this funny poem on 5/19/01 after hearing Destiny's Child new cut called "I'm a Survivor" and want to share it with my reading audience.

It's entitled: "I'm a Big Liar"

With me in your life
You thought I'd be faithful
After I left you
Now you seem hateful

I thought you were an easy lay
Now I'm sure of it
I wasn't loving no one
Because I'm full of it

I can't love you
Because I'm a phony
The things I told you
Was nothing but baloney

Women like you
Are too easy
When you set it out freely
You become sleazy

I'm a big liar
You know I can fake it
I'm a big liar
That's how I make it

I'm a big liar
You know you can take it
I'm a big liar
It's a habit and I can't break it.

Here is the woman's reply to the man:

You're a big liar
I know why
Someone has dissed you
And made you cry

You live in deceit
Because of low self-esteem
You play with people's emotions
You have been taught to be mean

I know you're full of it
I know what you meant
I want you to answer this question
Is that your breath with that dog-like scent?

I'm an enabler
Because I let you treat me this way
I'm an enabler
I'm gullible that way

I'm an enabler
I know it's true
I get off watching myself
Trying to change you.

Re: Poems By SpiritualONE


Here is a poem I wrote 24 years ago after working for the Illinois Department of Corrections:

Working in a prison exposed me to gangs
Dealing with young men and women, I learned a few things
Afrikan leaders are never around
Innercity hopelessness is what causes the frowns

When young people saw me, their faces lit up
I was special, because I won their trust
Many of our young folks have no motivation
That's the root cause of their situation

Some have been imprisoned since they were twelve
They don't believe in heaven, and AmeriKKKa is hell
All of them had horror stories to tell
Gang affiliation is necessary in jail

I was like a small candle flickering in the dark
I started them to thinking; for some that was hard
Most had a violent and harsh upbringing
Logical thought patterns meant too much thinking

They see others succeed and want the same
But they are unfamiliar with rules of the brain game
I motivated some of them and my advice they would take
Some began writing and many would participate

Our ideas were coming together, I felt a brotherly respect
A movement was flourishing inside a prison of abject neglect
Soon my name was well known because gangs understood
That I was the only one that cared, and that was all good

Administrators were jealous, I did what they couldn't do
I motivated people to stop and think, avoid evil too
Some may say that gangs are criminals and to teach them is a danger
The creator made us all, and no one should be a stranger

Re: Poems By SpiritualONE


Here is one that I wrote entitled:

"Strategy for a Tragedy."

Terrorism, which is killing by fanatics.
Evoke memories, of this country's tactics.
Political Representation, which drags its feet.
Burnings and lynchings occuring, I see no retreat.

Racist lynchings occur, in this country's jails.
African Americans, still in hell.
Young people's rights, are being ignored.
Some leaders are tantamount, to being whores.

Is this a set-up, some people ask?
Yes its a set-up, and it has worked in the past.
Economic lynching, has always existed.
Minds of Americans, appear to be twisted.

Dead heroes, who turn in their graves.
Their deaths cries out: "CEASE BEING SLAVES."
It's no wonder, leaders are scared.
Cowardice of a plurality, is being fervently shared.

Sellouts tell us: Sit and wait.
America is ready to negotiate.
Give ignorance a rest.
Start by doing your earthly best.

Forget about the strategy, in the past.
You can learn from it, but now we have a new cast.
RACISM is evil, in its purest form.
Negotiate with evil, will you ever learn?

Does working for yourself, mean anything.
Being fed by your enemy, destroys the brain.
Negative thinking, is prejudice against yourself.
Educating your minds, is the healing that helps.

I leave you this message in the hope that you will see.
It's time to CHANGE our strategy and quit asking to be free.
We must depend on ourselves to make a real change.
Amerikkka has very little kindness, because the leaders are INSANE!
