Poetic Justice
Expectorating the daily slime
Through my poetic rhyme
Each stroke of my quill
Flushing away the landfill
Weapon of choice is my intellect
Bring on the next,issue and/or suspect
Pitching stanzas' from my bullpen
Captured on the paper linesmen
Oh its' on its' a prose filled wartime
Through my verse, I will restore peacetime
Jotting fiercely,extinguishing injustice
Slowly, steadily, achieving a poetic justice

My Poetry
Verses from within my sanity
Its' my escape from reality
Deep feelings inside my heart
A gallery of my life'sart
Musical expressions flowing in rhyme
Dancing inside my soul for sometime
Memories & thoughts ,gathered thru ages
Tear drops,Love,&fantasy,fill the pages

Flowing
I formulate like a floods' ferocious flow
Issues,passion, and lessons to grow
Drip, drip, drip, the ink soars,then gush
A fierce ,expressive poetic rush
Exposing my essence, escaping free
Therapeutic,comforting ,pieces of me
Poetic versus dancing across the sheet
Leaving me satisfied,cleansed, and complete

Night Writer
I'm a Night Writer,a Night Owl,hoot hoot
Prose singing tunes ,from my ink filled flute
Purging life's tribulations and tension
Spiraling through a kaleidoscope dimension
As Dawn approaches, I continue savoring
Penetrating, deep thoughts,unwavering

Teardrops
Hear the pitter patter of the raindrops
Flowing along to the tune of my teardrops
Cleansing away the pent up anguish & pain
The tears are flowing ,but not in vain
Tears leave me complacent,under the moonshine
Restoring serenity, as I bask in the sunshine

A Voice For Those Without One
Men, Women ,and Children walk the streets aimlessly
Spat upon , mocked ,abused , beaten, and raped
Treated with malice and contempt
Seeking refuge and mercy
Victimized by the hardhearted
Card board boxes and steam vents a makeshift home
Desperate ,lost ,helpless ,frightened and alone
Who are they ?
Are they not our brothers ,sisters, and children?
Mental illness,foster children,Veterans, and runaways
Addictions and afflictions
Victims of fire ,poverty, unemployment,societies castoffs
Circumstances beyond their control
Inside these battered living Human Beings lies a soul
Our countries black eye
Fractured hearts
Broken spirits
Shunned and forgotten
Men,women,and children
Belongings dragged behind
Are we not also prey?
Two or three loss of pay checks?
With this Country's wealth
There is no justification
Merely lack of humanity
Dumpsters provide food to eat
Hope has flown away ,sore aching feet
Seeking a divine intervention
From fellow man
Are they not Human?
Where is the compassion and empathy for fellow our man?
Shelters unfit and filled with crime
There only escape from the streets and grime
Devastation no longer any tears to cry
Hour to hour minute to minute survival
In a concrete war zone of peers
Endless heartache and fears
As ,I sit here in a warm loving home
My heart aches and tears flow
I pray someone out there knows I care
My promise to you is I will always be fair
May Angels protect you keep you safe
When I greet you I will place money in your hand
Smile and treat you with respect
As ,I walk away I will cry glass tears
And you will remain in my daily thoughts and prayers
Cause, I know there but fore the grace of GOD go I
