| "SIXTEEN REASONS" "The Test goes as such" Am I happy and content? Is my spirit aglow? Do I smile every day? Does my essence show? Have I tasted success? Are my choices all sound? Am I strong in my trials? Do I reign with my crown? Does she comfort my pains? Is she faithful to me? Has she honored her vows? Did she come with a fee? Is her care from the heart? Has she given support? Does she cherish her role? Does she frown on divorce? If the answers are "YES!" You have nothing to fear, For her Queenship is pure and her love is sincere.

THE SCALES OF LOVE Remember when love Was so simple : Love notes Winking eyes Warm hugs Clumsy kisses Remember when love Became daring: Dates Sex Phone calls Gifts Remember when love Became challenging: Heartache Pain Frustration Neglect Now remember The love we share : Ponder ….. Reflect ….. Contemplate ……. Weigh it……. Is it worthy To be cherished? Jay in Florida all rights reserved 2004 |

| "BASED ON THE TRUE STORY" History His story Bestows all glory Upon his culture, And contend that before we Were savages Without discipline; Illiterate, And poor fisherman Of knowledge; Unworthy of college; Our mind Was deemed mentally retarded, And our flesh accursed By our Lord For living worse Than a horde Of wild swine; They said our kind Were created to slave And help them design A heaven upon earth; We have no rights; No worth; That’s our lesson of youth, But when I grew Into a man, I knew That I was being misled; How can my Father ignore me? Or despise me? But this is only his story. Our story. A story of fact, That there was Black Before White, Although I‘ll never react As a racist, But I’m proud, For historical places Have allowed You to witness skills; The strength of our will; The mentality Of people who’ve built What you fail to understand; Our knowledge is grand; Our examples; The blueprint by which man Has elevated to reign, And make nature submit; Undeniable; So make the writings legit For all nations to view; Give the Africans their due; The free ones; And the stolen ones too, For no matter the land Our souls are as one; A clan Who deserve more than crumbs At the feast, So hear the cry of our glory; In the East, We have achieved our story.

| HEAVENLY MATTERS SAFE DRIVERS Excuse me Lord May I have your advice I'm trying to get to the Paradise Where there's many mansions streets paved in gold no pain or no evil no poverty I'm told In this world that I live in there's so many paths that mankind has constructed it's too difficult to grasp If the end of their road Will let you and I meet for I'm told to beware of those dead end streets as a child I remember I was given a map that said take Christian Road and the angels shall clap as I come to the gates of the Paradise Inn So I drove the speed limit and swerved around sin But I ended up wrecking in the days of my youth I got lost for my spirit couldn't pay the toll booth So I retraced my map and chose Judaism Lane for I'd heard of it's glamour it's fortune and fame But a mile in my journey it started to storm and my vision then blurred for the sky was adorned with not one single light to help aid as my guide the stars disappeared and the sun chose to hide. So I took out my flashlight and studied my map for the gates I had come to had barb wire strapped From the top to the bottom and all in between there was anguish inside So I fled from the scene. Yet, although I was weary I detoured and flew like a bat out of hell down Muslim avenue, I was greeted with ,"Peace". from the people I passed and I felt in my heart I would find you at last But their avenue was baffling with so many turns that I gave out of gas yet my spirit still yearns For those coveted directions that only you know so I now follow nature and pray that you show In its manifest signs where the Paradise is for a man's days are numbered only one life we live. So when angels surround me to reclaim my soul I desire to walk down those streets paved of gold If the map that I need is inside of your books then I ask you for strength as I ponder and look, For you know that ole devil will alter my view, cast a veil on my face for he's blinded a few of the ones who make maps and declare it'll suffice Lord show me the way to the Paradise. Only his directions can led to Paradise because a man's are prone to error. JAY Florida Copyright©2003 |

| EARTHLY MATTERS EVIL S ROOT A rectangular piece of paper, With a presidential bust; Symbolic signs and symbols, On the back “IN God We Trust”. A crème and greenish hue; A value in the corner; So many made in the USA, ‘til the present and the former; The end result is tragic, generations of our country, should possess a healthy share. But yet I see the destitute, and those who need welfare; So I must pose the questions, How did some acquire more than others? How did some get more than others? How did some get barred from any? How did some acquire their brother’s? The answers are appalling, For the times will never change, The power of the dollar , Grants the Evil One his fame. A dad deceives his son; A mom deceives her daughter; With no conscience of the slaughter. A son will rob his dad; A daughter will rob her mom; A country will it’s people, With no conscience of the harm. For my country’s soul is tainted; The picture being viewed, Isn’t the real one that ‘s been painted. I see inside those beady eyes, Of Presidents of yore; A wicked past of cruel deeds, And bodies washed ashore; From slavery boats that set their sails, From whence my culture came; And all they ’ve seen, Was crème and green, No pity or no shame. I see inside the pyramid, With the lone, all seeing eye; A unified, deceitful code, That they shall justify; Whatever sins that they amass, In the name of truth and wisdom; And ask that we, Society, Be thankful for what we’re given. I see inside “in God We Trust”, The hands of the hypocrite; Whose only aim is to get his due, And the crumbs he leaves to be split. So why am I to hope and pray, That some day I ‘ll obtain; My equal share of my land’s wealth, When it has been made plain; The “haves” and” have nots” And after all the “haves” are fed, We’re left to scrape the pot. Although I must survive and strive, To get my meager wages; My soul’s at peace and pure as snow, And never do I go through stages; Where all my money and riches, Can’t keep me from feeling low; Where happiness is strange to me Although my pains don’t show. I’ll always be the poor old man, Whose heart is full of wealth; Whose money will be blessed by God, For I’m not all for self. I will not give the Evil One, The pleasure of a smile, Because I stole my dollar bills From someone else’s pile. JAY all rights reserved 2003 |
