Woman, Not Today!


Woman, Not Today!
To the widow just trying to make it; I get it life dealt you a hand you have to play out. To the wife whose husband serves our country in one way or another, leaving you to tend to the children; I get it. To the mother whose man is incarcerated as a result of a corrupt justice system; I get it. To the woman that was raped and left with a living reminder of a day she wishes she could forget; I get it. Each of you has no choice but to make up for the void of an absent father. You feel entitled to celebrate both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. I would hope that you find some way to celebrate the father of your child even if it is just for the child’s sake.  

To the mothers that just made a bad choice however it happened, you ended up with what you now call, “a sperm donor”; to you, I don’t understand. One night stand, another woman’s man, trying to make him your husband anyway you can, get a needle in your hand, put food in the pan, putting dollars on your stand. You didn’t yell, “dead-beat dad “ or “sperm donor” on the night/day of conception, but today you want to make a public exception, present you child with a false perception, to promote your exhilaration, paternal  emasculation, perpetuation over generations, offspring brain incarceration, feminist ideology fertilization, gender discrimination, forced assimilation, family deprivation. You have 364 days for the signification of your hallucinations, but today is for “Fathers” celebration!

Sleepwalking




Trapped in a nightmare that appears to be real
Awaken from the delusion of The New Deal
Conscious rhetoric falls off my lips
Unaware that I’m the Zombie in the civil apocalypse

Riding on that bus to reform the NRA
Guns and control I’m prompted to say
Lynching without rope, branch, or tree
Uniformed killers riding free

Hebrew ancestors, the identity I claim
Messianic, Orthodoxism, tribal distain
Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Greek philosophy
Yet, Tuthmosis III, Manetho, Iknaton mean nothing to me   

Going to the polls to vote for education
Economic robbery, governmental retardation
Third grade decision, High School attritions  
Judges, court rooms, judicial ammunition

Political puppet, no need for strings
Hypnotic melodies the church choir sings
European theology my preacher talking
All in this nightmare, I’m still sleepwalking

Trumpisim


When Republican Evangelicals become so disillusioned with the fact that they have become the minority in America, they abandon morality for a conjured eschatology. It is called “Trumpisim”

Truth in a Year of Jubilee




“If a nation keeps telling itself lies, it will eventually elect a liar-in-chief.” (Rev. Dr. R. Warnock) Said from a theological perspective, truth confronts a lie until the light of the truth cancels out the darkness of the lie, but when viewed from the vantage point of a New World Order, a lie is transliterated to become “alternate truth” alternate truth evolves into perceived truth and perceived truth unchallenged delivers an untimely eulogy of truth to the deceived. ~Moffett~

Still Bill/Steel Bill


Like Niagara Falls on a windy day, my emotions are falling
Like a dropping roller castor, his legacy my memory recalling
Alexander Scott, Fat Albert, Dr. Huxtable, to Little Bill,
A legacy of hope, legend profound, is My! reality still

Predator, manipulator, fornicator, cognitive dissonance plaguing me
Role model, author, actor, activist, athlete, veteran is the man I see
From Hollywood Star to the cold steel bar, my comprehension haywire
In the mirror of reflection, the neighborhood selection or predatory vampire  

Race assassination, dehumanization, denounce-my-nation, hope elimination    
Rationalize, decimalize, tears in my eyes, displaced admiration
Covert comedians spitting poison darts, heart annihilated
Systematic tactic, implosion reacted, economic satisfaction, diaspora eradicated

NIGGER I Am

Non-violent Intellectual Granting Graceful Executed Resistance
Nubian Icon God Gave Exhorting Rhetoric
Noble Identity Genesis Genetics Engendered Repopulation
Navigator Inventing Global Gestation Ethnic Resolve   
Niger, Ivory-Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Egypt, Rwanda

No one asked me if I wanted to come
Instead, you kidnapped me and murdered some
Graves for the weak the sea became
God granted life to those that remained
Enslave my body, but not my soul
Reclaiming the identity that slavery stole

Election

Why should my eyes wail with rivers of tears
While people like me fill the air with cheers
Celebrating a President that looks like me
A feeling that my people are finally free

Could it be that Dr. King’s Dream was really true
Equality and justice for Black people too
Through Non-violence and Black Power, the White House we gain
Yet, floods of hatred, bigotry, and prejudice still rain

Iron chains to prison cells, it’s all the same
Constructional freedom, yet enslaved the brain
Chattel, Contraband, Collateral, contained
Brainwashed identity, Conscience proclaimed

A country divided, birth certificate in hand
Glimmers of Dr. King’s Promised Land
“Your people have made it” un-melanin distain

Is it just slavery by another name                                          ~Moffett~ 3 Jan 2018

Margret’s Best


Did not the Father sacrifice His Son
That the life of many be saved by One
Can not a mother in love proclaim
The freedom of her children all the same

Tenacity, perseverance, a destiny to keep
Chased like an animal, backs were beat
The road to freedom, was it self-defeat
Could Heaven and peace be the prize to keep

A cross, a knife, cold water you say
Is to great a price for freedom to pay
One for His sheep, wondered astray
The other’s, a mother’s bird's, Emancipation Day

Just One Prayer Away


Some people sound confident, look strong, and seem to always know what to do or say to encourage others. Some people seem to have it altogether, know where they are going and the path to get there. Some people seem to be in tune with God, can always get a prayer through. Some people seem to have a smile on their face and a positive word to share. What they won't tell you is that they are crying and hurting on the inside. What they won't tell you is that they question their purpose in life. What they won't tell you is that they are just one prayer away from giving up. To that person; God sees you and He hears your prayers so hold on; you may be just one prayer away from deliverance! Just one prayer away!

FOCUS July 31, 2015

Dentist, vacation, affluence, beguiled
Safari, desert, big game, not wild
Ego, trophy, bragging rights
Ferocious, King, arrow, did bite
Emotions flowing like Niagara Falls
American, Caucasian, standing tall
Disapproval, disfavor, disinclination, displeasure, dislike
Instigate, inflame, inspire, invigorate, impassion, induce, irritate, incite
Exasperated, embittered, enraged, enflamed
Justice for Cecil, America proclaimed
The murder of an animal was the horrific crime
But was not this warranted for the Charleston nine
For: Cynthia Marie Graham Hurd, Susie Jackson,
 Ethel Lee Lance,Depayne Middleton, 
Clementa C. Pinckney,Tywanza Sanders,
Daniel Simmons, Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, 
and Myra Thompson
America why don’t you cry, 
Oh I forgot, you just let your dead chattel lie
Dylann Storm Roof, Burger King deserves
 For an African lion, the world roars
Somebody please tell me who is keeping the score

My beautiful sisters and brothers verses the police you see
In 2014 over 100 killed that look like me
In 2015 more black soul prematurely set free
Names gone forgotten unlike Cecil the lion:

Rally, donate, sponsor, grant
Not for a lion but for man
Is there any hope for Justice
In these horrific things
When the world has focused on the
Jungle king
