DANCE

People are proud
They love when you look up to them
They can hate when you look across the table
They hate more when they look up you

So my child
People will hate on you
Not because you are that bad
Sometimes they are afraid that you will look at eachother across the table
Maybe because they will look up to you

If you fail my child
It is not because of your colour or sex
It is not because they hate on you
It is because of you 

My child
It is hard for a person of our race to break through
At home or abroad
But people have made it through
And have turned out better than diamonds

So you know who you are
Not how people look at you
If a pink panther can dance more than a hating human
It is better anyway and it will not matter in a free world

So dance and don't blame the slippery floor
Turn your waist the best you can even if you have no shoes
Swing like a god even if your butt is bare
Do your best let the world sleep with its care
Dance if that is all you can offer

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would  To the very end
