Like the bloodline through the grave. Or does Satan own that soul? Can you be moved by ‘dawgz’ ‘anna’ water-hose of the 60’s movement? Lord knows. He knows. Does your river run deep? Like the bloodline through the grave. Or can you be loyal down to the bone? Lord knows. He knows, I SHALL NOT BE MOVED; my river runs~~~~~ way ‘TOO’ deep. Dedicated to: Faithfulness WAR. What Is It Good For? ‘EVERYTHANG’! I declare war on my oppressors. I declare war on the lesser of two evils. I declare war on my persecutors. I declare war on child molesters. I declare war on hate crimes. I declare war on hard times. I declare war on enemy lines. I declare war on un-just bias. I declare war on drug dealers pimps prostitutes and liars. I declare war on Satan’s hire. God ain’t ‘comin’ back to ‘brang’ no peace; He’s ‘comin’ back with a vengeance to finally ‘FREE’ his peeps. WAR. What Is It Good For? ‘EVERYTHANG’ WRONG as you can‘SEE’. A B.A.D. Poem (Won’t He do it?) Dedicated to: “ And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight” Joshua 10:25 (KJV). “ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (King James Version -KJV). UNEDUCATED, UNINFORMED, IGNORANT, UNSCHOOLED, UNTRAINED FOOLS!They don’t like you if you’re on the dope. They don’t like you if you don’t smoke. They don’t like you if you’re way too loud. They don’t like you if you don’t entertain their crowd. They don’t like you if you live quiet, meek an’ proud. They don’t like you if you have a house. They don’t like you if you don’t own a couch. And they certainly don’t like you if you’re a Father fearing church mouse. They don’t like you if you stay to yourself. They don’t like you if you’re with someone else. They don’t like you if you mind your business. They don’t like you if you’re always ‘inna’ mess. They don’t like you Anyhow… SO, DARE TO BE DIFFRERENT AND LEAVE ALONE THE LIKES OF THEIR ILLITERATE KIND(s)!!! Dedicated to: Stupid is as stupid does and yes, that glove fits you; down to the thumb. ‘YOU’ Don’t Know Her Story She lays awake at night. She writes. She hurts. She pains. She thinks inside. She’s wise beyond measure. She sees ‘ALL’ and knows; ‘YOU’ don’t know her story. Dedicated to: She DREAM(s)Weaved Collaboration Poem By: Authors/Sisters Nancy Ndeke (Kenya Nairobi) and Renee Drummond-Brown (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
DREAM(s) Dare to Come true Not if…but When pursued Not With vigor Not Relentlessly But Forcefully Like a thief in the night; even Upon a morn, but 12:00 noon is the best time for dreams to shed our poetic vision(s) ever so bright. Dedicated to: ‘WE’ have a poetic dream; like a King.
