My thoughts on Yusef Ramelize & his amazing project: “Homeless For One Week”
Author’s note: It’s very ironic how in a place like New York City, by far, the wealthiest city on the planet, in Human history, can actually have a significant homeless population. What’s also just as sadly amazing is how so many of us do nothing about it. I mean, sure there’s various organizations & food-banks.… Continue reading

My thoughts on the 4th of July:
Author’s Note: July 4th-Weekend is where people put up their American flags, on their home doors, front lawns, windows, and/or cars & have day-long BBQ’s in their backyards, or go to beaches, celebrating the commemoration of how American Colonists stood against the British Crown & resisted tyranny. I would just like to present this poem,… Continue reading

Wanting to get closer to you!!!
It’s like time just flies by, when we are together. No care for duration, season or kind of weather. When you’re in my presence, I’m often struggling to sound sensible. Your smile unforgettable and your soft, silky touch is just incredible. The time just burns out, so quickly, whenever I’m with you, just like unleaded-fuel.… Continue reading

Each of these seasons represents different stages of existence, in this Material-Existence of ours, which… Continue reading

The Enemy Within:
Each & every one of us are victims of our own regression. But, we often blind ourselves, denying the self-oppression. We enjoy living the candy-coated lie, constantly keeping us thinking we are not at fault. The truth is that we’re all the greatest culprits, just like bank-robbers, stealing the vault. We don’t want to look… Continue reading

My thoughts about the Rain:
The Rivers of the Street!!! When it rains, it pours, as the torrential bathing of New York, keeps us wet & cold. Winds direct this Rain, to every corner, block & sidewalk; it just does what it’s told. The day-long down-pour, from the Sky, funnels down avenues & alleyways. The Storm-Clouds are gray, thick &… Continue reading
