I fight
Because the struggle is real
Working to stay positive
No matter how I feel
I feel the ground beneath my feet
Left
Right
Left
I meet my soul
in the boxed and shadow of love
Fighting to live
I fight for the ones who can't
For the ones we've lost
For the ones who stand
Against the danger of the living day
Some people are fighting to get out of prison
Certain people are going through pain
Trying hard to remain the same
We all go through something
Once in a while
But we fight to keep a smile
I fight for my family
And the truths I believe in
I fight because of life and death
As one person breathes
Another ones leaves.

Letting Go (For Marvin) (January 28, 2016)
In between pressed pages
Of bitter sheets
Shimmers a flower
I once pressed
Today a brother (Marvin) said to me
I am blessed by my pain
Inside I'm shy
But I am destined
To share rhymes because we
Poets reflect the Divine
And even though none of we
Are perfect by design
We shine with brilliant light
Every time we bless the mic
Wisdom is gained
In every fallen tear
Years of pain
Can wear a soul down
Or it can allow
New pathways
For the waters of Life to flow
Sewing seeds for tomorrow
our Sorrow reminds us
What is worth fighting for
And what we must let go
Of bitter sheets
Shimmers a flower
I once pressed
Today a brother (Marvin) said to me
I am blessed by my pain
Inside I'm shy
But I am destined
To share rhymes because we
Poets reflect the Divine
And even though none of we
Are perfect by design
We shine with brilliant light
Every time we bless the mic
Wisdom is gained
In every fallen tear
Years of pain
Can wear a soul down
Or it can allow
New pathways
For the waters of Life to flow
Sewing seeds for tomorrow
our Sorrow reminds us
What is worth fighting for
And what we must let go
It is Well (January 28, 2016)
I lift my head up to the light
The skylight drips
Ancient resin beads of sunshine
Raining down on me
I am in the presence of
The divine
Mind over matter
And I recall
As many times
As my soul has shattered
I have come back together
Stronger than I ever was
Before
Doors close, yes
But the windows of heaven open
Showing me the way
I have learned to say
It is well
It is well
With my soul
Self control is an issue in my life
Wise words spoken
open my heart as
Christ consciousness begins
to Resonate within
But deep in my chest
I know
The sins that weigh me down
My crown sits kind of heavy
And I modify my bearings
My greatest desire is
To be the best I can be
In this life
I rise to meet the Great Creator
As the Native blood in me would say
These things that cause me sway
Can be either obstacles
Or stepping stones
I sleep alone most nights
Not because I have to
But because I know it's right
And no matter how many times
I fail
I will not give up the fight
Wise words are spoken
opening me up
To Christ consciousness within
In the sea of life I swim
one day I know
I shall reach the golden shore
It is well
It is well
With my soul
The skylight drips
Ancient resin beads of sunshine
Raining down on me
I am in the presence of
The divine
Mind over matter
And I recall
As many times
As my soul has shattered
I have come back together
Stronger than I ever was
Before
Doors close, yes
But the windows of heaven open
Showing me the way
I have learned to say
It is well
It is well
With my soul
Self control is an issue in my life
Wise words spoken
open my heart as

But deep in my chest

But because I know it's right
And no matter how many times
I fail
I will not give up the fight
Wise words are spoken
opening me up
To Christ consciousness within
In the sea of life I swim
one day I know
I shall reach the golden shore
It is well
It is well
With my soul
Feast of Lupercalia
For all of you who wished me a "Happy Valentine's Day" only to receive some quippy political answer, I apologize (only if I offended you). The truth is "Valentine's Day" is just another parasitic capitalistically driven stolen holiday that America celebrates to make money and solidify control. For the Roman driven Western Christian world captured and slaughtered many peoples as the West was "Won". If you choose to celebrate "Valentine's Day" that is up to you, however all of you who know me well know I must speak the truth.
Love should be offered to your significant other, your life partner, your husband or wife three sixty five. Let's keep it one hundred/one hundred. I don't believe in fifty-fifty.
America has devised a plan. Keep the one percent happy! For all of you who believe yourselves to be anti-establishment, ask yourself, what do you really know about the history of the holiday (holy day) you are celebrating.
The power is in the people. We continue to feed the machine, and the machine is strong. Consider your history. Consider the back story. And if you still decide to celebrate "Valentine's day" I will wish you a happy "Valentine's day". However, please if you know me and love me remember, I DO NOT CELEBRATE money making holidays in a system that is designed to keep the oppressed oppressed and keep the one percent fed.
I love you all. Each and every day.
I love my life.

Do No Harm
In any relationship, whether your best friend, your lover, your sister or your mother, there are going to be plenty of moments where what one half of the union needs is the complete opposite of what the other half would benefit from.
A person I love very much has never had an easy time facing the pain they cause in others. This person is one of the hardest working people I have ever known. They are spontaneous, fun, and amazing with surprises. Adventure should be their middle name and life with them is never boring. You can talk to them about any subject. Their curiosity and intelligence will accommodate stimulating conversation most of the time. But try to bring up a way you have felt pain by them and it is change the subject, laugh it off and at best better brush it under the heaviest rug on the planet.
This person told me to let go of the past. I guess some of the healing that could have come over the years has been stunted because they never owned up to their portion of what went wrong. Never said, "I'm sorry". Never claimed responsibility for my broken heart. Exasperated this evening they said to me, "I hurt you!?"
I was stunned. Tears in my eyes, I brushed it all back underneath the surface and told the sleeping beast now wide awake to return to its slumber.
It isn't easy when one person's pain is healed in one manner while the person they hurt needs the exact opposite to find healing. And I guess this is when I have to put on my big girl panties, and give it over to the Divine. I guess it is time to lift it to the light and let it go. Truth is, this person loves me and took care of me and has held me close for many years. It just would have been nice had they been able to validate the silent pain I held on to for so long.
Since they are not able, and I adore all that is right in this soul...I must now lift it up and let it go...May my pain blow away on this Winter wind. May I shed my last tears from the pain I held within. May I relinquish my grief to the Great Spirit who truly knows me. May I weep no more. May I hold on to the love. May I hold on to the laughter. May I hold on to every good thing our love ever created. I anticipate greatness. I lift myself up to the light. I will become the best of me. Holding on to yesterday's pain will get me nowhere.
Rivers run deep. Dark caverns know. The light is replete with sorrows let go. I love my life and every twist it takes. I shake off my sorrow. From slumber awake. It is well. It is well with my soul.
