We are sunlight
We are midnight
We are moon glow
Yesterday’s tomorrow
We are sunlight
We are midnight
We are moon glow
Yesterday’s tomorrow
Look to the sky
Deep into the mind’s eve
Explore the depths of the sea
Of the soul of humanity
Open up the earth
To find the secret of the birth
Of your existence and true worth
In the universe
We are sunlight
We are midnight
We are moon glow
Yesterday’s tomorrow
We are sunlight
We are midnight
We are moon glow
Yesterday’s tomorrow

Omni-intervallic
08:25

omni-intervallic metallic tones
melded without malice
into melodies bemoan
dynasties over throw
seeds long since sewn
in bone marrow
reflect into tomorrow
a light that shines
eternal hope from sorrow
young leaders speak the truth
few can swallow
so they walk the path
too perilous to follow
equipped with the mathematics
to fill the hollow
heads of hungry brains
that flood the empty bottle
hot house velvet lounge
and other venues in town
where jazz forms
and improvised music are found
im bound
to step onstage and astound
ears hear hearts fear
eyes seeing but not believing
how the hell did he play all them notes
without breathing
musical mystic definitely gifted
to express the vague abstract
to the concrete specific truth
universal elemental
translated the complex to simple
communicated through the temples
direct system link
accessed information
to innovate improvisation
and propel it beyond the brink
ill achieve with ease what most cant conceive
the small capacity of their creative faculties
cant fathom what i imagine and manifest
when i breathe
fire like a dragon igniting emcees
and instrumentalists will get burnt to a crisp
inspired to reach higher they’ll ascend from the abyss
of battling in vain collective flight is the aim
the only way that elevation of the game is attained
at open mics and jam sessions
shine light learn lessons
superior or inferior is not the answer or question
just one of the many conceptual tools oppression
stagnating the art forms natural progression
i keep em guessing
be-boppers be b-boying
to the jaw droppingest saxophonist employing
unorthodox methods
live on stage and on record
i constantly confound the skeptics
expected to fill the void
noise neglected
sacred space deep in the soul
well protected
sacred space deep in the soul
battle rhymes
to rattle hearts and startle minds
of would be contenders
who dare think to enter
the great contest
upon which rest
the fate of humanity
most of whom are defenseless
against the terror wrought
by the have against the have nots
in an onslaught
of subplots
designed to clot
main arteries
of information
disrupting my artistry’s
transformation
of the culture of many nation’s youth
who seek the truth
that they tried so hard to hide
sent it out to see
it was returned by the tide
the deepest graves they could make
were excavated by earthquakes
bones whose DNA linked the chain
they couldn’t break
revealed
destinies of histories concealed
identity of architects who exercised with skill
blueprinted the human psyche
and cultivated to build
a civilization so advanced that it now seem surreal
a legacy that lasts forever
its impossible to sever the tether
that ties the many great past lives together
(of my ancestors
from saints to transgressors
they all carry the same weight
none greater none lesser
lumps of coal and grains of sand
are transformed under pressure
Into diamonds and pearls
went from scourge of the earth
to jewels of the world
precious petals of young buds unfurl
Into mature flower
In possession of powers

once upon a time not long ago
on the west side of the c-h-i—c-a-g-o
a mythic mysterious
cryptic slick serious
maestro with nice flow
developed a style so
revolutionary it threatened the whole game
so systematically they starved him out
buried his name
disciples went underground but were unable to maintain
but heres’ a few remnant verses of the teachings that remain
from he who speaks questions information conceals
the truth which to see who seeks knowledge is revealed
don’t ask set about the task do the math
power’s obtained in the process remain true to the path
spit fire speak truth acquire the gifts and be living proof
of the impossible
wreck sets with no apology and minimum technology
just natural acoustic music of high quality
create constantly in this odyssey
ever evolving culture to evade
slave wage economy
melodies beats lyrics mind body and sprit
blended properly fulfill prophecy
breath control diaphragmatic yields express control
nonproblematic over instinctual habits
through these means most effectual
emotional and intellectual impulses are subdued
regulating mind state sedate
carry the weight of the world and tempt fate
as the world waits
with baited breath
charred bones of old tone poems dismembered smolder in the embers
soon to be rekindled by those who remember
the progenitor
low frequency flow grow
penetrate the perimeter and proceed to replenish the
creativity reservoir with a most bizarre musical repertoire
ooh la la la
thats the way that it feels when you know that its real
ooh la la la lets take to the sky on a musical high
ooh la la la la la la
ooh la la la
thats the way that it feels when you know that its real
ooh la la la lets take to the sky on a musical high
ooh la la la la la la
ooh la la la
thats the way that it feels when you know that its real
ooh la la la lets take to the sky on a musical high
ooh la la la la la la
ooh la la la
thats the way that it feels when you know that its real
ooh la la la lets take to the sky on a musical high
ooh la la la la la la
