Poem-Your Inspiration
Here
comes your inspiration
From
deep inside my meditation
These
words are my only wealth
So
I gave them to you
Hoping
that you felt
Some
form of elevation

Poem- The priestly place of Haitians
While
politicians’ party
And
poor men are penalized
In
penitentiaries
Political
parties keep the people apart and poor with promises
Prejudice
Police Pretend as if Principles of justice were put into their policies
Pastors
preach about the times to be perilous
Not
a penny in my pocket
But
Poetry presents a picture of possibility for the present
Presiding
over the prosecution of the sugar cane planter’s
Parting
the plantations
And
Finally
planting Haitians in their priestly place after all these years
With
a spectacular presentation
Of
plums and Pine apples, peaches and pears

Poem-Time Accounting
I
take my time in taking into account the time that I took to take into account
all the time that i had taken into account the first time I took time into
account.
Now
No
matter how much time it takes
I
will also take time in taking into account
The
time that I will take in taking into account all the time that i will take into
account up until the last time that I will take time into account.
The
purpose of this exercise was to account for all the time that i was is and will
be accounting for
But
all this time that I was taking for taking my time into account was taking up
all my time.
The
time had taken me by surprise for I had not realized that the clock
was set 1 hour a head of the actual time

Poem-Time Travel Poem
This
was a poem that I create
For
people living in
In the
year 1768
So
In order to find people who will truly appreciate this poem
I
will enter my time machine and travel back to that date
Give
me a few seconds wait
While
I allow my time machine to calibrate
Light
and I will soon start travelling at the same rate
The
absolutely Eternal Fullness that
Clouds Demonstrate
While
we a dreaming of a world without hate
Give
thanks for the food which is on my plate
And
the services scarcely provided by the state

Poem-Ending G
OH
God
I
try to do good
Going
by the philosophies of Marcus Garvey
Musical
Genius
Travel
on the gravel while the judge strikes the gavel
Drinking
water from the broken glass of Generations
I
smoke the Ganga from Gambia to Germany
Studying
Genetics
I
try to get the highest grade
I
hear the sounds of Guns
Due
to policies of government
We
are facing Genocide
Due
to warring Gangs
That
dwells in the Gutters
A
man must have Guts
Whether
Jew or Gentile
Not
wanting to pick up Germs
Which
give rise to Gingivitis and Symptoms of Gonorrhoea
I
throw away the Garbage
But
not in the Gully
Nor
on the strip of the Gaza
Where
grenades grow like green grass

Poem-the sky I was born under
I
still remember the sky
I
was born under
At
it I gaze in amazement and wonder
Of
the day of my birth
When
I entered this earth
That
day in December
And
saw my mother’s smile
And
touched her finger
What
thoughts went through her mind?
How
long did they linger while
She
was looking at me cry

Poem- Your sun dance
Knowledge is vital
So know it
You have bright mind so glow it
When you get a chance
Don’t blow it
If you have a piece Land
Plough it
Food is expensive
So grow it
And pray that the creator will endow it
With blessings
Such that it overflows
With abundance
While sunflowers do the sun dance

Poem- Have determination
We must bring an
end to the devastation
Oppression and exploitation
Of our every nation
Nation against
nation
Invasion and occupation
I hear matters of international relation
On my local radio station
We the people of the world are living in a situation
Where we face termination
But there are obstacles that must be overcome by each
human generation
So while we trod along throughout our life’s duration
We must have great determination
And let new thoughts grow from our mind
Like leaves from
seeds in germination

Poem-iMagine
I imagined what it would be like
If I had an imagination
That could imagine things that I
Appear unable to imagine at the moment
I used my imagination to create a world in which I was
omnipotent
I raised my creativity to the highest quotient
In requesting Justice
For the death of the innocent

Poem-Violence
Volcano
The world Competes with
itself
For its own destruction
The people are vicious,
devious, wicked, and full of corruption
Violence overflows like the
magma
In a volcanic eruption
SO
Down on my knees
I ask the most High please
Show me
What to do
Where to go
Who to trust
Because these days you just
don’t know

Poem- Beware
Beware
Because these things we hold so dear
Will bring our destruction
I hope you hear
The blackberry phone at which you stare
The fast food and Facebook feed you share
The car that you steer
Emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere
Creating a hole in the ozone layer
Polluted city being ran by the corrupted mayor
Drinking rum, drinking beer
Smoking cocaine in your chair
Beware
Marcus Garvey throws the burning spear
Rastafari is the vampire slayer
Rub black hair grower in your hair
Apply No scissors, no comb, no shears
To be in my circle or in my square

Poem-Defender of
Nature
The human population
is dense
Environmental damage
is intense
Small changes can
make a big difference
Plant a few trees in
your residence
Take a stance in
defense
Of nature’s presence
Money has enslaved
the people at the earth’s expense
Hence use your sense
Let the care of your
surroundings commence
Whether at home or
in a conference
Take positive action
Leave it as evidence
Of your commonsense
And as a commitment
For the betterment
Of the environment

Poem-Trees Uprooted
We are the soils of
emotion
The roots that gave
us protection
From the elements of
erosion
Have been whipped
away
Now we lay
At the mercy
Of the outrageous
rains and winds desperation
Brand new trees must
be planted--Soon
That in time will
surely bloom
To bring back
Strength
Under the glowing
moon
Holding us together
for times of great lengths
Saving us from doom
Keep intact all the
fruits that grew
Saving us from the
new
Tricks that brew

Poem-Winner Choice
Emotional marks are left
In the depth of my mind and
heart
I have wept
And slept
Through nights of distress
But still I kept
On moving
Even though
Things are sometimes
confusing
I am a winner
So is refusing choosing
losing
In a land where many people are frustrated
The natural law has stated
That the police must be hated
Prostitutes walk naked
IMF Funding is awaited
While politicians debated
About the seven thousand (7000) homeless people to
be Relocated
Hatred has been demonstrated
On this the earth that God created
Now the people are elated when communities are gated
So where is the freedom ?
If we say we are emancipated

Poem-New
Page
You are a winner
So love your inner self
Eat ital for your dinner
Else
You may lose your health
Today is a new day
In what situation
Have you found yourself?
Are you in danger?
Do you feel like a stranger?
Are you locked up?
Like a bird in a cage
Are you feeling anger or rage?
Do you look and feel older than your age?
You need to
Turn a brand new page
Poem-Africa where we come from
Africa where we come from
Must be one
Africa where we come from
Must be strong
Africa where we come from
It has been so long
Africa where we come from
Unite for freedom
Africa where we come from
Express love of
wisdom
Africa where we come from
Must sing this song

Poem-no worries
You Do not have to worry
Always relax
Never be in a hurry
Mix your roots with honey
In the rain and when the time is hot and sunny
Do no action that is funny
To cause a funeral ceremony
Do not lose your head nor let a girl run it
Buy some herb and bun it
Get some cornmeal and tun it
If evil comes your way you must shun it
