Boom Shaka laka
Live for the mist on
my expressions
On my tongue
On transgressions
Cleansing, washing
Riveting currents, emoting
Childlike and exuberant
Small pieces of rainbow
On the puddle in the street
On the steps keep
making a ball and it doesn't
escape
So why not hang on
Hang on
Rain on… granting, manifesting
Fresh and pristine
Raw stylus
Gracious but fleeting
Lady Marmalade
You could
Gitchee Gitchee ya ya da da
Gitchee Gitchee ya ya here
Boom Shaka laka
Bright eyes in early morning
Breakfast with Etta James
Brittle white across myriad voyage
Rain colorless so fresh and so clean
Gleaming
Teeming
Lesser degrees on coarse curls
Adorning beads on little girls...
As I
But I’m grown now
Literary entity from an almighty pen
Cleft in the key of life
Of humanities chin
Sassafras splashes and dashes
of nutmeg on sweet potatoes
Weakening down to a grin
Rim shots and flashbacks
Standing on Nubian soil
Unspoiled with rich
DNA saturated
Pour some sugar on it
Elbows in nature, naturally
Concentrated, inclining to rain
Drizzled and feeling no pain
My exodus through primitive showers
Black power
Clenched in a ball and it doesn’t escape
Time I was dared not need to clean
my plate
Midnight special shining the spot on
R E Ms
The house deep in slumber
Calling my people to see Prince on
In his thong
Because of disparity and rarity
I didn’t know really… didn’t complain
Short in the teeth but the rain
was lean with diamonds on the back
Then boom shaka laka...
Then it felt free
Zamzam & the MellyOmatic
Love
