My Letter to God...

Dear God,
Forgive me for all my faults
I know my sins could fill 10 vaults
All I did was for a reason
U gave us free will
So I chose to stay out of the moral prison
Forgive my loved ones and those that feel the same towards me
Those now in past, present, and to come after me
From my immediate to my
Extended family
From my mom to my sister
My father to my brother
From those i keep close
To those i keep closer
From days i obeyed my pop
To those I said 'No Sir'
I am willing to bleed
And take the fall
So in the future my soul can be
Happy and I can stand tall
My name shall rock the tongues of men from here on to Babylon
From Olumorock to Niagra falls
Then i will find peace wherever i lay
And hope dear Lord u put my soul to bay.

The Train Doors Open...

The train doors open and in swoops the different faces, people, races, religion or lack of it, languages, colors, lights;All of the lights...

The train doors open and I hear it... French, Arabic, Spanish, rap, rock, house, techno, mobile game sounds, Igbo, German, Accents, Russian,Yoruba, sports news, r&b, Chinese....

The train doors open in walks a woman with life beneath her belly;new life about 2 months shy of embracing this world, a man on d doors of death;time on d earth etched across his face...

The train doors open and SHE walks in beautiful, fair, dark ,mixed race, loud, sober, drunk, quiet, charming, inviting, annoying, fat, modeler, ugly, aged, checking me out, oblivious of my existence....

The train doors open and in HE rushes angry, delighted, tired, excited, nervous, jubilant, drunk, laughing with mates, deep in thought, listening to music, engrossed with his e-book.....

The train doors open and here I stand at the park, in school, few blocks from the club, across the theater, new city, same place, ready for church, wedding close-by, shops beckon, home calleth....

The train doors open I see my mates, my brother, my ex, my lover, my friend, , my fb crush, my professor, my cousin ,my twitter buddy...
