Every body wants a revolution!
Something to fight for
Something to say I belong to something
A struggle of what's right
A fight for what's wrong
Everybody wants a revolution!

Bush wants a revolution,
Castro had his day
And now the Devil wants his day.
The world has a revolution
Against each other
Brothers against brothers
And pretty soon
We'll have revolutionaries all over the place
Fighting for a cause
For some cause of another
Until we run out then
What now?

A poet's psalms


I sing to You my Lord,
Early in the morning I lay awake
Giving you Praises before You.
I sing to You my Lord
early in the morning
As the dew falls down on the earth
And Glory shines so brightly
For You are surely worthy of all the praises
The Glory and Honor that shines
Like the diamonds and so does your praise to You O Lord.
Glory to you O Lord
For You are worthy of the Praises.
Let the day be of the Lord's
As the Lord is our God, Our Salvation
For He is trustworthy always!

I sing to You my Lord
Early in the morning I lay awake
Giving you Praise before You....

Come fly with me
To the moon,
To the stars shinning at night,
Come fly with me
Baby fly with me
To stars above,
Take a trip
A trip of eternal love
Just you and me.

Kissing you under the stars
I have planned
All my life
All my life with you
Let's go fly---
Baby fly with me!

one star so bright,
shine, shine through the dark night
i love to see you shine so
because i know
how lovely you are
how precious and yet so far
that lovely bright light shine among high
o lovely star
shining in the skies like Christmas ointments so lovely.
alas shining star, shining star,
i reach for you and you're so far
come to me, come down to me
and let us be friends.
dawn peeks over the hill now
awaking is the **** bringin' in a new day into town
the sun shines and stars are sleepin'
for a new day has come that God has made for us all.

A poem I wrote  while in college
in memory of Melvin Jenkins--my Uncle

You're resting in Jesus' arms
From all safety and away from harm,
Beyond the moon and skies.

Sleeping from all labor and pain,
Beyond riches and fortunes gain,
Beyond the moon and skies.

Goodbye is not so,
But it's see you soon that's never getting old,
Beyond the moon and skies.

Until next time
We'll see you then
And talk once again
Until next time---
Goodnite!

Was read during my uncle's homegoing.
In my heart
I do believe,
our love is true
And it won't depart
No matter what we go through
You are my soul mate.
Lifetime partner yes,
Until the end
But I guess
You know that my lover, my friend
My African Queen everyday
Love has found us
In every way.
Truly soul mates for life
Soon we will
Be together a husband and wife
My African queen
My soul mate.

To Nikki Giovanni


Poetry and rhyme
And reason
At any season
You're the mother of words
Unexpressed to us so
And this I know.

Nikki Love---
I love to hear you express yourself
Like no one else
Who can or will express
What you feel inside
My Nikki Love!
