Operation Gaza Release NOW!
By Valdez Straughter
Hard times in these last days
But what is life when its
Just fading away?
Living in cages, minimus of wages
Indigenous lives, paralyzed
By government lies
It’s a perilous evil penalize
Freedom of speech, protected conduct
Seeing it’s reach, like blood beneath
the seams,
Where’s the constitutionalists in DC
on the issues that matter,
If John Hanson could see America now
He couldn’t stifle his laughter
Protest in the streets, liberate Gaza now
Seek peace and pray for the
Hostages to be released!!!
Picture…..
By Valdez J. Straughter
Picture the limelight where very life counts
Where the blind see and the poor no more
cause foods plentiful and abounds,
The deserts of Africa return to grasslands
around,
And the victims of Attica cries, are heard
far and aloud,
Picture a movement soundin’ of peace in East
like Eastman of Kodak flashin visions of retreat
Asking will it ever end, cause hospitals are on
the verge of
being submerged, under blood cause sin’s
been glamorized, let them live- let them live
Picture a place, where we can all breathe
the same air
An adventure we create, lest we dare to compare
riches,
Where poverty’s on the rise, while politicians
clenchin’ dollars in they fists,
and Skid Rows the new condo’s based on they lies
Picture life, in these States overcome by New Columbia’s greed, notes they disease,
Like the surgeons knife, perpetrating the disease
Terminating hope and life,
Picture fake, until its real.. pictures no more
My camera’s fresh outta film…….
The Blinds of Disguise
By Valdez Straughter
Get conscious of the script being written
of everyday life,
Stay cautious of the misfits flying in the drugs
Cause they wanna keep the ghettos on high
Are you the strawman like in Oz?
I’m properly adept to the commerce of laws
While the bonds being bidded
the principal on the bonds until debts
Unpaid got the fleshman sitting in prisons
Realize its dishonor until we redeem the flesh
Cause its forever made mortal
Until we claim our souls, bring it back through
the sovereignty portal,
Its time to rise, like the mercury inside
Pay attention to my verbal
Cause times getting short in this Babylon
To all my earth cohorts the powers that be
Portray the blinders on the blind,
seek until you find
the keys to the chains to your birth
Is through the truth within the certificate of live…
Give Her Honor
By Valdez Straughter
Let’s give thanks to the women,
despite the mishap by Eve,
for giving birth of the nations
and transforming a mans seed.
Let’s give thanks to a woman,
who deserves to be
You know who suppose be
The other half
The summation of our half
Nurtured and loved
Without the evil of wrath.
Let’s give
Give thanks to our women,
even when she on her cycle of her
biological system, she’s a beauty to my vision
She’s the deliver of souls
Like Mother earths given plants
Fulfilling Gods vision from Genesis.
Let’s give thanks to our women
whose perspective is golden
and makes it logical to heal
when a mans sensibilities is often senseless
Nothing like a momma, daughter to nieces,
grandmothers are timeless.
Let’s give thanks to a woman
cause she’s a forever priceless
like ancient hieroglyphics, made from our ribs
Men…..lest we forget it.
I Wonder Why
By Valdez Straughter
There are some things makes us question everything, everyone, Its how the human mind works like…
I wonder why some people can be so unforgiving,
seeing birds fly, yet they keep polluting the skies,
damaging the ecosystem,
I wonder really why some politicians sell lies
after planes crash into buildings,
accepting favors underhand from those
whose net worth equal billions
I wonder why homelessness even exists on a massive
global scale, and here in America a financial mecca?
you tell me why here does prosperity fail
For the unfortunate…
I wonder why here slavery never even died
despite the misinformation and prevailing lies
how can I breathe or manifest patience?
it just went from privatized to government
mass incarceration
I wonder why people aren’t treated the same
we got different views, tones and hues yet our blood color seeps from our veins the same,
I wonder why mama never stopped to cry
despite her struggles to raise fatherless kids
well I guess the Ghandi’s, Martin, and Virginia, wondered why
Cause they had dreams to keep the world
from going under
so they died never knowing why they still would have been wondering……
What Can I…..?
By Valdez Straughter
Listless, yet I’m relentless positive sentiments.
We gotta get ahold of our hopes,
and let the children feed off that vine
shed all our selfish leaves
so that they can thrive and survive
What’s your part in helping the youth? Are you turnin’
A blind eye, or are you motivated or actin’ like its
complicated?
Each one teach one they need guidance not violence
Lady Liberty where we at? New Vietnam, like a war in Iraq?
A lot of gravestones with welcome sign mats
I’m relentless, still listless with this poetic persistence
cause the youth murder rates senseless
Cry at the moon, rage at the sun,
but God said it would be so,
before His kingdom of purity would come
Let the little ones alone He said,
meaning feed ’em bread (knowledge , love)
So we have a duty to guide the children by the light
Now that moves me and I can sleep peacefully
at night, again
Listless, yet I’m relentless positive sentiments
Ask yourselves today how can I give to the future
Of a wayward child needing God’s heavenly gifts?
When It Rains It Storms
By Valdez Straughter
When it rains it storms, covered like a newborn,
Sometimes destiny seems like a restless dream,
way beyond our grasps,
Sentenced to an endless abyss, after prosecutorial chains and whips cause of Columbus’ ships
So much pain please strap on me a mask,
Born in slavery, police badges really pledging my neck to their knee, is what was the vision
When they talk about Lady Liberty? Now I comprehended 2PAC’s vision when he ask
How long will they mourn me,
From Chain gangs,to political judicial committee officials,
Mass incarceration has always been the plan,
Its like acid rains, on the poor’s soul
Like choking, ‘I Can’t Breathe’ in a injustice sea of
Black quicksand.
We gotta seek peace, not war overseas
Cause there’s been bombs and casualties
right here in America’s streets, an agenda from D.C.
Tell me what’s really called livin’?
When a real crook incites riots, stealing classified info and hides it, been thrice indicted,
and likely never headed to prison…mmmh …
Simple Years
By Valdez Straughter
These are the simple years where
I’ve spent too much time alone,
and my too many tears have
left trails of solid fear
cause loves abandoned my soul
making my lonely mind
an forever empty road
In the past where my wildness I cast
Yeah these are my weary dreams,
where it seems healings unheard of
for a father who came in last
Now I’m praying for the peace,
in my souls release
newfound seasons among the Canadian maple leaves.
These are the simple things,
I’m desperate for a new revelation
all I need to breathe among pine leaves
cause the reality is,
we’re all the sum of God’s equated creation
These are the simple years
where I’ve spent too much time alone,
now give me a key to set me free
like a mustang yippin’ from confines of
his staple
to speed in the dust to beyond the border
onto a plateau where things are forever simple…
The Journalist Anthem
By Valdez Straughter
We live free so we can dutifully speak
for the cause to bring light of the storyline
To bring truth to the unenlightened masses
anything less hinders the press, lest the critical forget
is to oppress,
coming from unforgiving government
Covering the field holding strong like a pillar
secrets exposed can be a killer
roll the tape, and let them cover the grid,
push the wire roll the sneaks
live like Eric, Chelsea, and Julian did.
They press the freedom
journalist we heed them, Take that on air!
Let cameras lock, aim, and put
the political, and corporate cynicals shot live
without a Kalashnikov shot in the air
They promoting freedom of speech
to get the stories from reality perspectives
so when they reporting the truth
realize reporters are soldiers who thrive through
a mic,
so we can be the more wise
so deception and lies get placed on trial
and the jury can’t protect them……….
