Spaghetti Killing
(1 January 2007)
Sitting here, eating my spaghetti
I get madder and madder
The thought of what he did to me
Makes my heart yearn with revenge
I hear him, smell him and taste him
Boy oh boy, is he gonna get it.
Whaaaaaaaaat, You Liked Me?
(14 January 2007)
How come you never told me, that you liked me?
Everyone else could see it, except me.
You would always walk by me without saying a word
My friends told me you liked me, so they heard.
How come you never told me, that you liked me?
You saw me reading my book underneath the oak tree.
You could have enjoyed a nice sandwich I made
Of course, it had pickles on it, with lots of mayonnaise.
Something in the Dark
(11 November 2006)
Crackle, crackle
Boom boom.
There’s something in the dark.
It’s silent, still
But I hear it.
The night can be a frightening thing if you don’t know what to look for.
There is something in the dark.
Leaves falling, wind blowing
Michelle
(30 April 2003)
Her name is Michelle
She’s nothing like me
She’s always so sure about herself
Not insecure like me
Michelle can do anything, big or small
She doesn’t take foolishness, uh huh, not at all
She can be abrasive at times when she feels the need
Always careful to separate the innocent from the greed
Michelle is full of life and loves to be around people
I keep to myself most of the time and hide like a weasel
Michelle wishes I were more like her
I wish I had been a blur
Michelle can be mysterious at times, that’s part of her charm
Me, I ain’t nothing like that, my story’s written on my arms
Michelle tries to be patient with me but that is difficult at times
Because, I, unlike her, will run at the drop of a dime
Remembering The Special Ones
(18 November 2006)
Remembering the special ones fills my heart with joy
The moment I heard they were no longer with us made my heart deploy
Deep into the depths of loss, why oh why I cried
Never understanding death but looking up on High
Our Father never makes mistakes and we should not question Him
But selfishness abides within and we wonder is it a sin.
Remembering the special ones like Aliayah and Gerald Levert
We try to remember the joy they brought but still our insides hurt
When we lost Luther and Barry, we thought the world of love songs would end
But babies created listening to their songs brought forth new beginnings
Left-Eye brought us laughter with her unique style of rap
Her life plucked short from an automobile in a snap
Lou Rawls and Gregory Hines, both lost their battles with cancer
We still don’t know how to deal with this death thing, somebody please give us an answer.
