Do Me Right
By VALERY FRAZIER
Although I may run my mouth
To those who pass me by...
No need for you to turn away
And make my mind think cry...
Sometimes I wonder if it’s true
That we do not belong...
No need to stay together if
The relationship seems wrong...
Whenever you approach me
With a “Don’t Care” attitude...
I frankly want to kick your hind
Cause you’re acting like a fool...
Since we are not apart
But yet we don’t connect...
I suggest you “Do Me Right”
Instead of cooperating, I’ll reject.

Spring Lovers
By IOTA PHI THETA
Roses are beautiful
Violets are too
But none of their beauty
Can compare to you.
Since I first saw you
I did adore
Now, everyday I know you
I love you more and more.
This is the end of the poem
I hope you think it’s neat
Now all it needs is you and me
To make its’ love complete.
An Answer To All
Your Problems
By RONALD L. JONES
Take time to look into your mind.
You may be surprised at what you
. find,
Good thoughts, bad thoughts,
Normality, insanity,
It’s all for you to find.
A bottomless, endless, running stream
-your mind.
Take time to explore, to see what you’ll
find.
rillook, you look.
Tick, tock.
You’ve all the time you need to find.
You have a whole universe to explore.
This universe is very cosmic in its
scope.
Your mind, on time.
Look, look.
You have just to explore.
Just lay back and enjoy your stay.
Life - it’s just one big play.
Some sadness, much madness.
Sanity, ego,
How does one cope in these last days?
SEX
AND
VIOLENCE!
Needing A Woman
By TODD WASHINGTON
TO: “Miss Joe”
I’m just an old fashion man in a
changing new world.
I need a woman such as you to help me
hold on to those values and vows in
which I cherished since I was a child.
I need a woman, such as you, who’s
strong in heart and mind.
One who can change that which is
wrong to be right,
I need a woman who can make a man
do anything in which she demands--
A woman that carries herself in a man
ner in which she makes a man lose all
thoughts of words to describe her
style—
A woman that can walk down the aisle
and make everyone look and wonder
why God made a speciman so unique
and put her on this earth and not in
the beautiful paradise in the sky
where she belongs.
For to me, all angles should be in the
sky, but I thank God for sending
you.
I need you because you could make me
■ feel so good.
For you, yourself, is just an old
fashion girl in a changing new world.
With us, two, together we could have
something
Unitl-I can’t say no more.
Tribute to Ada
By LATTICE L McNEIL
Thank God, one of his children has
come home.
Don’t cry for Ada, she is now at rest
She fought a gallant battle and God
won!
Ada may not have been the church
going woman some of us are, but she
knew Jesus.
She loved everyone she touched.
She loved me, her neighbors,
and God knows, she loved and
cherished her grandsons—
Marvin, Alvin and Junior Boy.
She lived for those boys.
She would pray, God! would she pray
Ada would get on bended knees and
pray hard and long until we thought
she was asleep.
She was not asleep, but talking to her
Jesus.
All I can say is good-bye Ada.
Although we love you — God loved
you more.
The information sits heavily on my
mind,
The knowledge of the potential threat
to come.
Time now does not allow for me to say
Things pertinent to the little known
facts.
As the cold wind beats at my face.
The voices strip away what pride I have
left
The sound of those rushing mighty
tones of voice
Assults my ears, causing a scream to
steal from my lips.
The candle drips wax on my hand,
I stand, trying to recover from this
Remember
By SIR WALTERS
TO: Free Mac
So you say you’re leaving me
And you’ll never return
The love we shared is over
And my heart burns.
What we once had was beautiful
As beautiful could be
But now the show is over
As you have left me.
But I still love you my dear
Yes, you’re still number one
As I live my heart continues to burn
With thoughts of you.
I may be able to get over
Losing you one day
For if this is meant to be
But I want you to remember my love.
My heart will always belong to Free
The things I’d do for you. Free
I’d do for no one else.
There Ain’t No Way
By WILLIE SMITH
There ain’t no way that I can tell you
All that’s in my heart.
Even if I gave it a try
I wouldn’t know where to start
There ain’t no way that I can prove to
you
How I really feel
Of all the things I’ve tried
You still have only a vague idea
There ain’t no way that I can give up
When I feel so close to success
I’ve given you my even'thing
I’ve given you my best
There ain’t no way that I can make you
see
And understand
How much I really care for you
And that I want to be your man
I think about it almost everyday
And I wonder if really.
There ain’t no way.
madness.
The music is fitting as it drills me out.
How much of this can I take?
All of this pain for the sake of
knowledge.
Is my time worth its weight in
knowledge?
And how can I call this quest my gain
When I am constantly being sucked
under the pulp.
A book! I am being killed by a book!
An inanimate object, paper and ink-
my death.
And in death black luck will probably
follow me-
Buried with a book in my hand.
Can I Make Love To
You With A Poem?
By THOMAS WALTERS
TO: Fregenarae
Seems kind of difficult at first
Can you make love with words?
I say yes, for with words I’ll make love
to your mind
For truly if I have your mind
I have you, all mine
Can I make love to you with a poem
Oh yes, musicians do it all the time
Putting words and music together for a
good time
With my words I’ll make you all mine
For lady, words are all I can offer you
at this time
Accept my offer and be mine
And I’ll make love to you all the time
Cause my words will penetrate
The fortress you’ve built around your
mind
Can I make love to you with a poem?
Always
By VALERY FRAZIER
You’re my ever shining star
And that’s the way it’ll be...
None other shall enter my life
And have control as thee...
We’re still rocking our boat
The water sometimes gets high...
But, we will make this life’s journey
Never shall we be denied...
The world can not interrupt
The relationship that we have...
Our screws are on too tight
Now no one else can grab...
We will always continue
To love, to care, and hope...
No one in this whole wide world
Can fit in our kaleidoscope...
Last Second
Thoughts
By RONALD L. JONES
The weight was heavy;
The stone drug behind me.
I gave my last to the gods.
The stone into the ocean went.
The water was cold.
So cold that it was numbing.
I hit the bottom very softly.
The fishes looked at me in wonder.
My life, another brick in the wall.
Lost among all the rubble, wanting a
way out.
I’ve just kissed the ocean, a salty
kiss.
With a wave of mock emotion it has
embraced me.
This water in my lungs.
If not already I am nearing death.
And now I see why the fishes look at
me.
As they proceed to pick and pull at my
flesh.
My Candy
By VALERY FRAZIER
When you are away from me
I miss you so very much...
I could never verbally describe
How often I want your touch...
Hold me real close, okay
Don’t ever let me go...
Cause I’ve gotten my eyes on you
No other man I know...
When you are sleeping nights
I’m sure you search for me...
Maybe it is in a dream
Or a part of reality...
Let me just have my way
And see you as I wish...
Cause you’ve become a part of me
The candy in my dish...
I Wonder
By THOMAS WALTERS
TO: FREGENARAE
Sitting here with thoughts filled of you
I wonder
Does love die? Does happiness come
and fade away?
I wonder
Looking back on the happy times
I come to find needed peace of mind
For thoughts of you set me free
To the highest stage of esctasy
Wondering about me and you and all
the things we’ve been through
Will our love ever return
I wonder
But wondering is just a dream
And I awaken to pains of reality
Of me without you
Why did this have to happen to us
I wonder
Do you?
What Is Knowledge Worth?
