If you really want to know me do as I say not as I do
Get a bag of M&M’s cut the bag just right
Take all but the brown ones out and mash them in your hand
Let red meet yellow and yellow meet blue with green in the middle
Remember do as I say not one minus two
Go put the bag with brown ones back on the shelf with the rest
No denying the baddness of the act my friend
Now wait for the giddy there; the one with a halo of names
The one with sharp tongue,pillars of guilt,and shadows of lies for hair to do it’s best
The child with the retarded soul and glassy unpreached glare
Alphabet soup breath and gapped-teeth
Red,green,and black plaid out of fit of no choice
Little girl who lost it all one day because mommy wore no underwear and daddy’s named “didn’t care”
Twisted words of Willy Wanka but no chocolate factory
So as I say not as I do and you will live as Oompa Loompa
Those squashed candies in your left have made my very soul
In my eyes no variables,races,speeches defined
Pile of chocolate goo and lookie see, the kid loves the brown ones in brown coats like me!

Cracked glass shade and a dusty lamp
But it still shines
For the headache that stresses my brow
The matress on a old wooden floor
And how people stare at me like I’m nude on cold streets
Let it shine,let it shine,let it shine
Times I wanted to open that door and walk away leaving them behind
Wanting to pick up that kitchen knife and send you to hell
The shit you say
Shine
For times I feel so ashamed and not wanted by no one
Instigators as neighbors and friends
Going from a hut to a house and back again
Let it shine,let it shine,let it shine
For ignorence from my people
AIDS killing those who deny and are branded 666 and 999
My brothas and mommas in a cage
If anyone should be love-hungry today and wroth
Shine
For being fifth in line
And larger than life’s wife
Everyday cravings I can’t defy
Let it shine,let it shine,let it shine
Everywhere I go
When I fall down and the lite goes out I’ll get back up with skinned knees and shine
Jesus gave it to me
Can’t help but cry
Twisted wings and extravegence bearing crows and cat-flings
Shine,shine
This lil lite of mine!

THEY MUST TURN FROM YOU ONE BY ONE
THE CALLING OF BLUE SKY AND CLOUDS KISS DEW
WALK AWAY YOU WITHOUT THAT MARK OF BEAST UNDONE
WASHED FACE IN TEARS HIDDEN IN YEARS TWO TIMES FIVE OF TEN
HE WISHPERED YOUR NAME AT THAT MORN
SO EVE BLEED FREELY YOUR REIGN
A PRESSENCE WEILDS DEEPTH THEE WITHIN
YOUR LIFE BREATHES SELF LOVE OF THE SPARROW
DON’T BE AFFENDED BY THE PAIN OF LOSING THE FLESH
THE AFTER IS CALLING YET YOU ASHAME YOUR KIN
WOUNDED REFLECTION OF ONCE GOLDEN BY NAMES BESEEKEN
THEY MUST BE WROUGHT OF WRATH
DON’T BE WEARY OF FLYING PAST BEFORE AND AFTER
CHILD OF NINE PAST ELEVEN HOUR
THE WINGS BE HEAVY AS MIGHT OF SHAME FROM THEM
SLEEP IN THE BELLY OF CONFUSION OF SON OF MAN
OPEN ARE YOU TO ENDLESS FLIGHT.

As I sit here on a seat you know too well I think about yesterday…
The coldness of the day and how it’s like my persona looking at me in a mirror
Of toilette paper hanging down like vines made of white woolen dew
Of my breathe coming faster than you
Sky blueish-grey perfection
And the uneatten berries dangling from thin trees
That be like I
The sweet blowing in a chilled desolutional bless
Of my dry skin looking like a desert place in Saharah kissed by Summers’s lips
I ponder
Hear my voice being smoothed over satin hues of brown
Hers and his of sistergirl and boo boy
But I sigh and look at the white plaster in my sanction of poverty and jilted moods
I rise like Maya in humbled sciptures to the door
Look at me in the mirror
Just a reflection of someone I ain’t ready to face
Close my eyes and open my wings
To love and freedom
Digital things
Today was yesterday
Food for thought and thought acquired.

There’s a sayin bout the one
He’ll love you and shit like that
Right my friend right
Not me why?
See I found somethin that can’t be understood
Strange relationships
A Coke and a smile then a wave awhile
And some so desire me in there beds more than heads
Find that oddly bemusin
Maybe I’ve found him,but he ain’t belovin the red bone in me
He misbehaven and not readin me thru this here poetry nah
Like things I can’t stand cause my nerves like a gun
Bore me boom ya dead
Didn’t mean to cause cold tears on a Summer’s night
Sawry
He gots a jones deep in ivory bones,but mine be broken
Just an angel with twisted wings covered in stretch marks
Boils and itchy things
Creep…creep inside me slowly
I like…it
Not to be sexual but you ain’t here now to ease my cravin
Love me like a sister,but I love you like a sun god Rah to be
The one?
Huh just a lonely number on my speed dail to hell.
