Aesthete In Harlem


Strange,
That in this nigger place,
I should meet Life face to face
When for years, I had been seeking
Life in places gentler speaking
Until I came to this near street
And found Life--stepping on my feet!

Nature vs. Nurture

They say that a stem of a Rose
isn't longer than a tree
What if you believed everything
was meant to be.
And everything we achieved
was no longer meant to be.
Give me a Rose
Give me a Tree
This is You
And this is me
Seceding from me
Is a never ending tragedy
Give me a reason
For it's a new season
Things die, Things grow
Some change, Some don't
It's a Circle of Life that we call home
And I am proud to be part of that whole.
