SAVING UP,
YOU MAY
SPENT LIFE OUT
LOVE IS BEST
WHEN IT FLOWS
SO LET THE HEART,
SPEND IT ALL
THE CHANGE YOU HAVE,
WILL CHANGE YOU.

My Shadow Knows
I was young
A long time ago
It was bad
Yea, real bad I know
She’s buried up there
Down deep in that hole
Know one else does
But my shadow knows
Dark secrets you pray
Disappear go away
Things that I’ve done
When I’ve come undone
Then out comes the sun
He’s beside you as one
It’s always been so
My shadow knows
Yes, my shadow knows
Chorus
He’s haunting me
And he’s taunting me
Reminding me
That I can’t break free
All the things I’ve done
All the misery
My shadow knows
Yes, my shadow knows
End
Please leave, I’m old
Can’t get warm always cold
Won’t go out to the sun
Can’t hide I can’t run
He’s always there
Knows where I went wrong
My shadow knows
Yes, my shadow knows
I’ve finally moved on
Praying peace I would know
Then I found out
My shadow’s my soul
Judgment then comes
He was there and he knows
My shadow knows
Yes, the shadow knows

AN OLD OAK TREE
[OLD OAK TREE] [lady bug]
YOUR PHOTO IS BEAUTIFUL
I HEARD LADYBUGS ARE GOOD
FOR THE TREES .
MAYBE YOU CAN NURSE IT BACK
WHERE THERE ARE THE LEAVES.
LIKE ME NEXT YR 70 I WILL BE
AT LEAST YOU GAVE IT YOUR TEARS
DEDICATED TO
THE OLD OAK TREE
FOR THEY'VE GROWN
WITH GRACE
POEATREEMAN
I STILL HAVE MY HAIR AT LEAST IT'S STILL THERE(:
IT MAY BE GRAY AND OLD YOU KNOW
YET I STILL HAVE THE BARK ON THE TREE(:
IT MAY BE PEELED AND WORN A BIT
YET IT IS STILL HOLDING ON TO ME.

AN OLD OAK TREE
You are
a Young
Flower
I am
An
Old
Oak
Tree
You are
Blossoming
While
I am
Withering
Away
I had my
Spring
When
I Blossomed
too
Yet
my Branches
are
not as New
My Roots
are Firm
Though
the Soil
is Loose
I will Fall Soon
be
at your feet
So Remember
when
I Stood
I
Tried
to be Straight
Perfect
I Was Not
For the Soil
was
not Great
I had my Falls
Limbs
were
Broken too
Yet
I Held Up
When Others
thought
I Would not
The Ground
is Opened
I must
Return to all
Shed no Tears
For
the Leaves
have
Finally Fallen.
Dedicated to Naomi Stansfield
A Soft Soul
A Poeatreeman
When I was
Young
I Tried
to be Straight
I Grew as Life
Would
have me Stand
Yet
I Stood Up
gave it a Hand
I Thank ?
For
Letting me Sow
I had the Seasons
To Change and Grow.
A Poet’s Note
FORTITUDE
Do Not Say
Timber Yet
I Am Not
Ready To Fall
Do Not
Cut Me Down
For
I Stand Tall
If
You Want To Grow
Cut
No One Down
Then
You Will Stand Tall.

HANDICAP
IT TAKES KINDNESS TO RATIFY MANKIND

He who has ears let em hear
poetry from da soul so sincere
coulda shoulda wouldA
but im still here
? but i relate to blacks
more than mines cuz i seen both sides
my poem inspired by the joy pete rock
glad to hear mcs pAy respect
murder aint justified cuz u was having sex
so liquour got me rhyming slicker
this poem might offend fair warning
my joy is strength
give praise have faith
will travel gods will in babel
rush hour astral travels
no offense for those who dabble
witchcraft took this ?
? her and made her keepda kids
took residence
and made us pay da rent
sold power to the human race
eve to my family took da bait
ignorance or lack of knowledge
I too did things for love of dollars
inspired by the instrumental
pete rock made that beat hot
its only if only hip hop
so my forgive my ? ness
just trying to relieve stress
prophets cant die
so stop it fiery darts on my optics
