On The Surface
On the surface
Everything seems perfect
But underneath it
They feel worthless
Unforcertain of the distance
Between here and there
A for sure sign that things change
Is when you can’t be yourself
Around everyone else
On the surface.
~Knockamechee Pharoh~
One
In the event that I am no longer here
To make a stand as a man
I expect this from every man, woman, and child
Cry from the soul
Scream from the heart
Let no man tear apart
What is preordained
They say the prophet suffers the most
I like to think this is true
What about you
In a land filled with war games
You must adapt
It’s either be swallowed by the beast
Or fight back
How many must die before we see the truth
Or are you in love with the mirage the present to you
If it’s truly one luv, one God, one nation
Then why are we treated the worst out of all the races.
~Knockamechee Pharoh~
Our
I close my eyes to see the truth
But when they’re open
All I see is you
Day dreams of lives we’ve shared before
Tragedies from casualties during war
I want to believe that our love can surpass anything.

Poetry
In a world filled with propaganda
Authority figures that abuse power
Strong that devours the weak
Who shall dare speak
About this injustice
Beware for you shall become the next target
Children abandoned by their mothers
For a hit of that glass pipe
Young girls turned out by pimps
To sell their bodies at night
Tell me what's right
Under the red, white, and blue
Or maybe it's like glue
I shall speak the truth
Even if it incriminates me
If I didn't
How could I be the Conquering Lion?
When I am lying?
Those that defy
Shall die.

QUESTION
WILL EVIL EVER BE ABOLISHED?
NO
FOR YOU NEED GOOD AND EVIL FOR A LIFE TO GROW.

RELIEF
I FINALLY HAVE PEACE INSIDE
SO NO MORE WILL I HIDE
THERE ARE DIRE CONSEQUENCES TO OPPOSE THE RIGHTEOUS
SO I HAVE NO FEAR, JUST EXCITMENT
KNOWING I AM NOT TO BLAME CAUSE IT TAKES TWO TO BRING SHAME
SO LET THEM POINT THE FINGER AND BLAME
BUT NO MORE WILL I HIDE IN SHAME
RELIEF.
~Knockamechee Pharoh~
Sad But Sweet
I am sorry
Sorry I never got to see your first steps
I am sorry
Sorry I missed your first tooth
Out of all the things I wish were different
None of them are you
Days, weeks, months may pass
But nothing will keep your Dad
From loving you
So out of all the things I've lost
I've gained so much more
Because God has promised me this forever more.
~Knockamechee Pharoh~
Seasons
Winter, spring, summer, fall
I could not pick just one out of them all
Winter snow
Seasons Greeting
Children laughing and singing about
What I love most about winter is
Couples keeping warm during a snow storm
Spring is what I like to call summer's eve
When the sun goes down and no one's around
I like to listen to the world
Hear songs from a tree
Carried by the wind
Think about friends I'll never see again in this life
Oh it just might be as delightful as the summers pleasant treats
Water falls in the street
Ice cream trucks greet you on every corner
Warmer than the spring
If only I had wings
I would fly away
Not to a different place
But to take my place in the clouds
Only to come down and play with the leaves
Falling from falls lovely hands
Now I understand
That winter, spring, summer, fall
I could not pick just one out of them all.

She is a Master
She's a master piece complete in every way
She understands the powers of a woman
Complex in it's nurturing way
Taking control of unmanageable conditions
I inhale her all the way
Starving myself of air
Starting to black out vision getting blurry
Wait, I am in no hurry
She is a master piece complete in every way
She understands the powers of a woman
Complex in it's nurturing way
Down she lays, knowing the unspoken commitment
That their souls are taking
Even in the exact moment of ultimate pleasure
Her spirit is one with the Lord
There could be no worth
In a senseless act of selfish intention
She is a master piece in every way
She understands the powers of a woman
Complex in it's nurturing way
Taking no prisoners and forsaking none
She is and will always be the one
With the lasting effect
Showing me how to perfect imperfection
She is a master
She understands the powers of a woman
Complex in it's nurturing way.

She Said
She sits in the back filled with joy
As she looks at her new baby boy
All of a sudden the driver sees tears
Not knowing what to do
He simply says, "Are you upset with me?"
She replies, "No
Just wanted you to know
How happy I am for this day
God said unto me
I am worthy of a great task."
