Narrow Cobble stone street leads into Club Pappion
a long dark café
Graced with beautiful women
Italian, and French mostly.
I sit she sit
What would you like to drink handsome
I say Rum and Coke
She orders
We talk
You have lovely eyes she says
I say how can you tell
it’s dark
In the corner a woman laughs
with three men smiling
I ask are you French?
She says yes
I drink
she smiles
over liquor and wine
and time
the night grows long
song after song
the conversation
becomes deeper
sex on my mine
running out of time
2am
lights turn on
money gone
conversation gone
woman gone
another night at
club Pappion.
Ghetto by Osay.....
Ghetto walls, Ghetto calls, Ghetto pain, Ghetto Lane, Ghetto drugs, Ghetto hugs, Ghetto fun, Ghetto guns, Ghetto lies, Ghetto cries, Ghetto Eyes............
Watching our ghetto die!!!!!!!!
Birmingham Sunday......................
Who went to Sunday School that day
and never came back home at all
but left instead.
Their blood upon the wall
with splattered flesh
and bloodied Sunday dresses
torn to shreds by dynamite
that China made aeons ago---
Did not know
That what China made
Before China was ever Red at all
Would redden with their blood
This Birmingham-on-Sunday wall.
Four tiny girls
who left their blood upon that wall,
In little graves today await
The dynamite that might ignite
The fuse of centuries of Dragon Kings
Whose tomorrow sings a hymn
The missionaries never taught chinese
In Christian Sunday School
To implement the Golden Rule.
Four little girls
Might be awakened someday soon
By songs upon the breeze
As yet unfelt among magnolia trees......
Langston Hughes
Pimpin behind bars...by Osay.........
Jail has a way of changing you
Hard knock life like, Thug passion
but not the passion you drink.
Wifey comes every Friday and Saturday
Sundays are saved you my young girl.
Have to have love on the side to keep
the commissary right
when I’m not feeeling wifey
I need a soilder to keep it tight.
Youngin puts paper on the books
each month and says she can’t
wait til I get out to hump that bump.
Now Wifey She’s down for me
taking care of my eight seeds
and still giving me what I need spiritually.
She feeds me knowledge to stay strong
and says hold on and to get my life right.
But youngin brings that fire that love
desire like my man Rick James sang.
The young boys call it Pimpin
I call it surviving
Wifey came to see me on Sunday
the same day as youngin
and my so call pimp game was in jeapardy
both came and sat on each side of me
wifey, and youngin
youngin said hello
and wifey stayed silent
I said to wifey
It’s Sunday
Wifey stayed silent
youngin said who is this
Wifey said do you want her
I said in a tru pimp fashion
yeah, if that what you want to hear
and everything went black
wifey went on the attack
swinging, kicking , yelling
and youngin well she stayed silent.
Commissary is running low
Wifey is gone
youngin lost her job
and I’m just
pimpin all by myself.
Behind bars.
First Born......How do you show the first born that they were the beginning of your new life. Forget about whose wife, first born son, you came out female for all the world to gaze upon. Ready to take your place in life but your not ready yet. Don't let the world trick you into uncertainties and dreams for dreamers that don't alway come true.
Believe more in you and your spirit and for the dream designed by you.
first born from a love torn me, we, Three.
