You Promised Me A Blessing
Stu Harley Nov 2018
Lord, were is my blessing

Well, I now pick a lot of
cotton and baled a lot of hay

You keep a roof over my head, and
I just continue to pray

You know, after they freed
them slaves, they promised
us forty acres and a mule

You promised me a blessing

Well, I didn’t know I was sitting
on Mr. Gilmore’s property

The Blurry Line
Stu Harley Nov 2018
Once upon a time
I dare to walk
Across the blurry line
On a snowy winter’s day
I walk through the woods
Surrounded by aspen and pine
Stony figures surreal and sublime
How many times must a line
Be bound by space and time
Truth connected from end-to-end
Fingers always count to ten
Then count back to nine
Arrive at a place in time
When focused on a single point
Then you appear, as blurry as a kitten
Truth be known, Still, I am the blurry line

Be The Best
Stu Harley Nov 2018
Mama says no matter what you do or
Be in life; just be the best, at what you do
Mama says, even if, you decide to be a lazy *** or
Hang in the streets, just be the best one to greet
Now, go get mama her slippers, boy

Kung Fu Proverb
Stu Harley Nov 2018
Bird in hand will fly away
Catch a fish and eat today

The body is a temple, a house for the soul
A clean heart turns dust into gold

Grasshopper learn how to walk on rice paper
Bend like the bamboo tree and jump over the skyscraper

because

God never let you walk alone

When I Lay Down
Stu Harley Nov 2018
A tapestry of clouds
Gathered like blue-gray smoke
That bellowed from a cigar
Made in Havana

A sea of mountains
Rise up like Mythological Gods and
Jagged edges made of
Dark-brown German chocolate

A gust of peppermint air
Shakes loose the weak branches of
A wild sycamore tree

Then a jubilant display of radiant
Light burst through bashful clouds
Awakening a field of orange-gold poppies

When I lay down,
Both feet are planted firmly on the ground

Towards The Edge of Glory
Stu Harley Nov 2018
we shall not be

the stars
to end this purgatory
but
to walk

we hear the battle of glory
Stu Harley Nov 2018
whatever we do
in this life or accomplish
be the very best
please do it well enough
with passion, gusto, and zest
yet sometimes we feel left alone but
when you are completely nourished
in your capacity of life fulfilled
give back to this earth
that created you from stardust
stand ready and be able
to pass the baton
from the gray towards the gold
Stu Harley Nov 2018
sometimes the
African Juju spirit
inside of me
make me
want to be like
Kunta Kinte
but
all we really
have to do
as Black Folks is
to let go of all that and a bag of chips
the
negative images and the stereotypes
have to go
so
love thyself because
we have a real beauty
deep within us
we define who we are
as a Great People
from Mother Africa
if we act naturally and
stop trying to
act like something we ain't
brother and sisters
we can do this
