Socializing with the whispers of discontent
bemoans what is the status quo
and despises common sense
kaleidoscope pretentiousness abounds
glittery words hanging on emptiness
foundation rooted on grains of sand
remorse inevitably rules the house

Rappers Names a Delight
Just thinking about
these rap artists and their names;
what was their
inspiration, what were they thinking?
It’s a part of their
identity, part of their fame;
I think I’ll write
something so funny it’ll have me aching.
After a hard day’s
work I come home and sit in my Eazy-E;
I think I want a cool
drink, uh, maybe some Ice-T.
I want it nice and
cold, could you add a large Ice Cube
while I sit down to
relax and watch the tube?
Well my tea isn’t
sweet enough of that I’m sure;
could you be a
sweetie honey and add Tupac Shakur?
My faithful companion
by my side resting like a log;
I show him my
approval by petting my little Snoop Dog.
All I can say is;
this is the life.
The weekends are the
only days to my wife that matter
so I can cut the
grass and repair things with my M C Hammer.
Man, all this work
she’s got me doing is just Ludacris;
I think I’ll call my
buddies to help me out
because it’s the
football game I don’t want to miss.
Another weekend come
and gone
through with doing
this and that;
tomorrow I go back to
work again,
no more nagging from
my spoiled little wife Da Brat.

Every Shoes' Friend
The soul of a working
man’s fabric
stitched to ensure it
a long life
sturdy as the day is
long has
changed the fabric of
a nation.
Bold and blue tried
and true
available for all the
masses
now has a distinction
of classes
seen to the elite as
a form of fashion.
Regardless, it’s a
fabric all can relate to
holes, tears, dyed, and
designer names,
despite all the years
much hasn’t changed
blue jeans they are
and blue jeans they’ll remain.

Small Town, USA
Tight knit people
here aren’t quick to let you in
despite the nature
calling you back again and again;
a stubborn people
that’s clearly set in their ways
against a place so
poetic you'd want to live your days.
Church cemeteries
abound across the landscape,
born and raised here
it’s a life they can’t escape,
its nostalgic surroundings
appeal to my senses
but I just can’t stay
in a town with false pretenses.

Cause and Effect
It began with a smile
as she walked by…
he couldn’t help it
as she caught his eye,
as she fumbled with
her things he saw
an opportunity to be a
chivalrous guy;
she didn’t refuse and
as they touched hands
the love chemicals
stirred with gentle sighs.
It was unintended and
of course they didn’t know
that with this one
kind act their love would grow
deeper than any one
of them could ever dream,
slowly but undeniably
real; both of them could tell.
Their word actions and
actions clearly told them so;
so sure they showed
the whole world with matrimony.
Swirling inside a
feeling unexplained,
primordial in a blink
of an eye, it came.
The ingredients of a
human existence
coming together from
two to create one;
hair color, height,
gender, personality,
the genetic
concoction of life has begun.
Dividing, expanding,
starting from a cell
to continue inside though
no one could tell
consummated with love
this husband and wife
knew that in time they
would have a new life
as they would give
their all to love and protect
brought on by the
simple act of cause and effect.

Smaller Sound
Spinning
from twelve to four
once a stylus now a
light
I miss the mystique,
I miss my
records
