I watch

I watch , I watch , I watch , /
Rain drops hug a park bench /
Not wanting to fall /
Morning dew , Humans call /

Society a fool /
Riding on the poor /
Lack of humanity too /
Destruction , reconstruction /

The fall of morals /
Culture gone from view /
Common sense too /
I watch , i watch , i watch /

Mothers cheek holds a tear /
Sons and daughters going bad /
Where is dad /
Sun rise , humans die /

The earth cries /
Capitalism grows /
Rivers flow /
Famine and flood /

Devils alive /
Politician a vampire /
Your money he sucks /
Pick pocket , your money you hide /

Tears from the sky /
Hugging a abandoned bench /
Not wanting to fall /
I watch , I cry , Cause i know why

LOVE

I feel love coming trough /
Yet no one is there /
I capture the scent of you /
Not in view /

I feel your heart beat /
As mine repeats /
A tear on my cheek /
My love repeats /

A tear on my cheek /
My love repeat /
My love has no name /
I'm in love with LOVE /
jimmy j

PS.i love all of you

Pic / poem /mine

Pic and poem mine published in Rasisme magazine in Norway in 2002 , the house is on Ashland st in Detroit hope you understand.. I find it insane how you protect yourself from words instead of understanding them..

A poem long ago

One

One had a gun /
One had none /
One would walk away /
One would stay /

Two mothers would weep /
One a funeral parlor she would seek /
One her son visible through bars /
As she took a peek /

Who Won /
NO ONE

A life lesson unlearned.......

Working Man

Worked all my life /
My story /
Lovely family , Lovely wife /
Glory to hell my story /

Forty years on the line /
Bailed them out /
Just in time /
Now they kick me from behind /

story of the American worker

Dad

What is your poetry all about /
For you my son i shout /
A future in doubt /
My anger flows /
Of a future in doubt /
Too many haters /
Not enough good creators /
Shoved knowledge /
Down your throat /
Teacher stroke /
Life on the street /
never meet /
a walk in your shoes /
Never knew, maybe a few /
Rules and regulations /
Streets of deregulation /
They just don't know /
Loves all about /
I write for you /
Love
Daddy

Something to think about

a man walks naked down the street /...
Not what i see /
A man in protest over life /
Not meant to be /
Humbled by life's poverty
His way of saying /
Fuck you humanity /
jimmy j

Should be

This is as it should be .....


Not this .........Wrong this world be /
                      Of that we see /
                      Rivers flow with blood /
                      Left behind Mud /

My 10 year old at a baseball game he is the one with out baseball pants on. Center of pic , he is the littlest guy and the worst on the team, but im sure proud of him.....

Late/no show

School no show /
On the streets /
Nickles and dimes /
Smoking a bag ,school no time /

Street corners full of lies /
Lil girls giving in to teen age cries /
Broken home , lost tries /
Society broken /

i will not lie /
drugs now your lover /
No other /
weed but the first step my brother /

No need to act like your mother /
Father not to be your brother /
Moving home to home /
Even the dog has no bone /

Youth your treasure /
not young man pleasure /
love yours to measure /
hold on forever /

Burn

Children learn /
Houses burn /
Pimps on corners /
Little Jack Whorener /

Eyes wonder the why /
Learning all the same /
Life's two faced game /
No glory no fame /

What do you expect /
Stacked deck /
Chickens pack /
Broken neck /

Walk to school shameful view /
I ask the why /
Teardrops turn to cry /
Adults you lie /

Walk with me /
So you can see /
Jack and Jill walked to school /
Jack was robbed ,Jill was raped /.....why

hypocrisy 2013

I can tell you care /
Bombs dropping everywhere /
Bullets fly through the air /
Children dying /
Society lying /
Tears falling /
Whoes calling /
Hypocrisy 2013

Words

Words they do not mean the same to me /
I do not own a dictionary /
Words are born , die and reborn /
One remains the same /
LOVE the one you least retain /
jimmy j

A place in the mind

To help you understand ....Y'all niggas too ....No color of skin , you are what you do fool.
jimmy j  poet Philosopher too who knew ...you

school

Headed to school /
Fail to learn /
Teacher a burn /
Baby sitter return /

Everybody yells /
My nigger /
Whats up twitter /
Face book litter /

Dust to dust /
School books burn
Hypocrisy walk /
School walk talk /

Society lier /
Bully a cryer /
Calling for help /
Taking your scalp /

Terrable poem /
Matters not /
Terrable home /
Dog , no bone /

Knowledge to explore /
All s a whore /
Locked school door /
No more
