POETS of the WORLD!

RECITE!!!

 
 

DEBATUM
Two gentle men
of lofty attitude
crossed each other soon enough
not caring if they hurt ir shamed
they bantered on about themselves
said the negro to the eurro:
Your ignorance harms the world
Your prejudice opens her sores
your arrogance makes me happy
lets me know you will fall
Replied the Eurro
paternity in his manner
Complacence in his speech):
We need each other
you & I
pose for me
I pose for you
and due to our different heritage
I think we'll do things better still.

   
    CAN YOU SEE ME! CAN YOU SEE ME!!
Rock singer
the hours you spent in your lonely room
are now seconds
seconds
mere seconds before the sonic boom
boom!
boom!!
I hear you I'm no longer blue!
Time
Time
twas whispering away
I could never win
but I'm fine
now I'm fine
and I await my turn
to rule your mind
Boom boom
Can you see me!
Can you see me!!
 
  HEAVEN
Master!
The cold I feel inside
chills me I can't decide
Master!
Master
I know how your love feels
Oh never from me make it flee
Master
Master
I know half the things I do are strange
But theres no turning (back)
(For) I have crossed the bridge
Master
I want heaven!
Make me strong
Let me do no wrong
Are the roses red
are the grasses a rolling wave of green?
Are there fountains? Do the waters run still? Is there time to kill: In heaven
I know half the things I do are strange
But the kingdom of God
has to be won everyday
I want heaven
don't let me be too weak
Oh I'd love to seek
The things I've seen
None comes close
to those I've heard
I love heaven
But its far away!
So far away!
   
    THE OLD CROWD
The old crowd has gone
we talked aloud
and had some fun
Gone our separate ways
I am counting the hours and the days
I am alone at night.
I walk past where I once sat
though I'm lonely I'm not sad
they paid their dues
I was not so lucky
The Old crowd has gone
I walk the empty halls alone
Boy we had so much fun
But time does wait for nobody
 
 

SUNSET& DARKNESS
Generous splashes and splashings of orange
across the horizon and far beyond -
fanning out an endless tail of wonder
photon by photon
The far away images
I commune with in solitude
are snatched from my sight -
by the gently settling dusk
It is the sun which has betrayed
Its Sunset!
Your laws are steadfast!
I'm overwhelmed.....
.....What a grand show that sunset was!

Summer 1987

   
   

The glory of God
has hired the beauty of the hills
for the sake of my eyes
The riddles of science
for my mind
The Music of the bards
for my ears.
The Glory of God Comforts me.

The roar of the ancient waterfalls-
the roar of the majestic machines
as they forge their way
across the seas
and skies
remind me
of
The glory of  God

The Glory of God has borrowed
the wisdom of the sages
for the sake of my heart
