I Will Survive And I Will Deliver

6/10/2013

0 Comments

 
Will I ever amount to anything? 
My neighborhood breeds criminals, murderers, prostitutes and drug dealers.
I am immune to the sound of gun shots, sirens and screams of pain, 
When another young person is gone too soon.
Will I survive to stay alive or Will I survive just long enough to die 
Before any hope of a dream is materialized? 
I looked into my mind’s eye and
Determined that I will survive; 
I will rise above this mental state
Leave, learn, return and educate;
To end this cycle of Life and death 
Where only positive contributions
Can deliver the rest. 


From my Book: High School Boys Build A Strong Foundation & Face Your Future Prepared & Courageous

I Am Death

I am on your heels

So close

You can feel my breath

On your neck

I whisper

Ever so gently

Get ready

Cause one day

You’re gonna be next…

I AM DEATH.

The Telephone

1/5/2013

It was 2 am
When the telephone rang
Shattering the quiet of the night
A million thoughts ran through my mind
all producing fright
Who could it be?
What could have happened?
Did I even want to know?
I reached for the phone
My heart ready to burst
As a trembling voice said "hello." 
"What happened?" I asked
"Is everything alright?"
The voice answered "No"
I couldn't bear 
to hear the report
My mind raced to and fro
I said a barely audible goodye
and hung up the telephone.

Do You Believe?

12/6/2012

Do you believe
That there's life beneath the ocean
Even though you have not ventured
beyond the shore?
Do you believe
that you will live to see tomorrow
Even though it is promised to no one?
Do you believe that
true love is indeed real
even though you have only 
experienced pain?
Do you believe 
that you can be anything that you
want to be?
Then why not believe in me?

The Smile

The smile
Beautiful, 
but empty
Revealing pain
Visible only to those
Who already went through 

the experience

Who Can Understand?

11/12/2012

A life was taken 
Before it even began
Dumped like refuse
On the open ground
What type of heart
Could be so cold
That an innocent baby
Never got a chance
To grow old?
There are no words
That would make us understand 
A baby dumped in a parking lot
Instead of resting in warm arms

The Commercialization of Life

11/24/2011

........and then things changed

Gizmos and gadgets replaced playing marbles and jacks

Hopscotch and See-Saw almost lost in the past 

Dinner at the table to dinner in our rooms

Holy Days to Holidays -

No time to give thanks.

No time for rest and family and friends

No time for God - not even weekends.

Relationships dying – no nurture, no love

Everything diminshing -

Lost to the commercialization of life.

The Imminence of Death

11/24/2011

0 Comments

 
Death is on the horizon for everyone -

None can escape it

Some long for it

Many wish they could avoid it

Most do not prepare for it

All of us will have to face it.

Conception - the beginning of life -

Is also the beginning of our journey down the pathway of death.

We die daily until death swallows us up

Leaving family, friends and loved ones behind to mourn,

As we begin another phase of our life's journey - in eternity.
