Hey LBK, here’s a fresh poem in which I sort out my feelings about Thanksgiving, Andre’ 3K’s new album, my mission, and my place in the universe.

It’s called: In Summer I Fall.

In Summer I Fall                           17 Nov 23


I feel like Three Stacks, blowing on woodwinds
Fall slippin' upon me too, but Summer lies within 
My Family Stand with G-O-D, so losses turn to wins 
the mission steady beckons but I flounder in sin

Freedom was the Pilgrims Pride, envy did them in
slow motion slavery almost brought 'em to an end 
Big cities on the coast haunted by the same ghosts
creeping all around now, breaking down my boundaries  

I feel like I'm outgunned hunted at my weakest 
that still small voice implore me to keep seeking
Grandma Dorothy stories sound like history speaking     
there's treasure in the words of the Elders worth seeking

I travel through the world brim tilted, rings blinging
living when I dream at night,  still daydream believing 
compared to my Grandpa, I'm the Third Kingdom
Tiger since the birth canal, this is my season
