Racial Conflict

I, Yellow.

No different
Than others.

Whites on Whites...

Blacks on Blacks...

Browns on Browns...

Racism.

How will it be
When the tie
Binds

Diverging colors?

Me & My Guitar

Me and my guitar...

Strumming...
Singing...
Re sonating...

Wayward thoughts subliming...

Open lines and chords
Transcend this far
And wide place -

The universe
And emancipation
Of souls.

Before The Hour Of Ten

A few minutes
Before the hour of ten,
I sit on my armchair
Writing bits of poetry
With nothing left
To shuffle my mind.

Seems to me
All is crawling.

Might as well
Write more
Before I go
Towards the end
Of my metaphor.

I Miss The Morning

I miss the morning
When the sunshine
Glances back
At 7AM,
Soothing for a walk
After a cup
Of coffee
To lift my senses.

The roads are dusty
And the heat
Is scorching.
No more sunshine
To soothe the bones
But to burn the skin
Of morning's
Desperation.

Another Raven Story (A Fable)

It dost speak and live free.
Tamed by men and virtuous scores
The raven's been scarred and bleeding.
'Nevermore should wounds be healed.
Nevermore must I fly.
Death comes as I glide away,
I'd rather bleed here and die!
To seek freedom is to seek death
As lifespans linger on.
So dost my time clock ticks
Wearing my breath down for long.'
He took his plight and roam the earth
Not wanting to flap his feathered wings.
Mingling with rodents and crawling insects
As birds of his kind flew free.

His wounds have healed in time
But he dost stay there, still.
'I'll live here alone and happy
With a world far beyond my mind.
