The
Resurrection of Dale
This
collection of poetry is a vivid journey through my life for
the
past 5 years. So many things have happened, I have a new child Aden. A
renewed sense of what it means to have family and friends supporting
you. I call this poetry the resurrection, because my life was nearly
taken away from me. God, Jesus, My Son (Aden),My mother, Brother
(Vince), Sister (Shannon), Best Friends (Will J, Brian, and Kym), and
my Girlfriend (Wendy) helped me to rise out of the grave of
victim hood; they walked me away from the cemetery of despair, and led
me
to the path of stability, humility and peace.
Thank
you all, this
poetry collection is to them and everybody I forgot!

A.D.E.N.
By Dale
When
I held A.D.E.N.in my arms
It was 6 months too
long
He politely placed
slob on my face
And laughter came
across his face
We crawled around the ground
I picked up objects as
he threw them down
Only to pick up them
up again
And this process was
like us going on a merry around
He went to slept
As I walked him back
to his baby seat
Samba Pa Ti flowed
through my mind
I wanted to spend more
time
But I had
to go
So I went with the flow
When I awoke the next morning
I felt so free
A.D.E.N. was back and
intact
My life came back to me
I am back
I will not retreat
I will not suffer
parental defeat
Catch me getting my money and
my mind right
I think about A.D.E.N.
every night
Preparing
for the responsibility of making sure Jovan is tight
Mr. Rodriguez despite
the fact your mama let me see you for only 3 hours is Alright
I am gone stay
positive about it, and not fight
As I touched down to Atlanta
Feeling good back in
the land of country grammar
I felt like I just got
out of the slammer
That trip
to see my son had me seeing red numbers
I could not even
afford to pay for a 14.00 cab
I gave the driver 8
ones and 3 dollars worth of quarters
Took a shower
Cried for about an hour
Tired of
working for low pay at my corporate plantation
Sick of the Government
and this stanking taxation
Tired of folks
claiming to teach the truth and light
While all they provide
is darkness and the pain of the night
Jumped in the whip gas tank on
E
Stared at A.D.E.N.
picture
And realized that he
had set me free
I started singing a
sweet lullaby made especially for me:
Anarchy provides life, please
give it to we, set us free!
Destruction upon all
our enemies, we bring fyah pon dem, and burn their oppressive corporate
and government regimes!
Evil will save us all,
because the light has been corrupted, and it blinds us all!
Nightmares will become
our dreams, because the dreams turned into lies, and the nightmares
showed us the reality of why!
A.D.E.N. will save us
all.

Yirmeyahu
By Dale
If everybody had a mama like you
They'd be blessed
Dear Lord
Take care of Mama
As I stand on the 5th floor
I stare at downtown Atlanta and think of you
When my ex-wife left me
You picked me up from the ground
Placed me on my feet
Without you I could not write this poem
From my downtown office's seat
Instead of talking down about my ex-wife
You showed me where I went wrong and where she was right
Gave me good advice
Through your prayer you healed
This wounded man
Now your in Michigan
Where the wind has a severe chill
and the people sometime bug out and act too ill
But I got yo back
I am here
Anything you need I got
She has evolved from Mama to Yirmeyahu
Yirmeyahu
Thank You

The
Immortal Died Tonight
By Dale
I
am a Titan
I am a God
I am Cronus, the Olympian
I was riding high
Until my death came
By the hands of my children
I decided to call Aden's Goddess
And without a beat
I slipped into a rant
I attacked your Attorney
Who I think is shady
During the convo I heard my baby
Saying Ba-Ba and making noise
I attempted to restructure my words
To gain a better poise
At the moment I realized I died
I am a titan
I am God, feel my powerful hand
But for your mothers negativity
I have no plan
I cried to myself
I do not know what to do
All I want to do is see and do part for you
Please God help me
Give me the ability
To listen to your voice
Give me the ability to listen to Schanna
And cherish and pay attention to Wendy
I am a Titan
I am a God
And I aint got but 5 dollars in my pocket
No water in my house
And I feel like a looser
Feel like my life is in a drought
The Immortal Died Tonight
I put the dirt on his grave
I let him go
Because to arrogance
He was a slave
So I am going to get my pearl girl
Her favorite bottle of wine
And to the Death of the Immortal
I am going to make a toast
And feel fine.
The Death of The Immortal

The
Fall - The Triumph
By Dale
I fell so hard from the sky
I was flying to high
I forgot what it meant to live
I was ready to die
When you are flying high
Your a dead to the rest of the world
When you come down to reality
That is when you are alive
Oh I see everything I need now
I need my family man
Mama what would i do with you
Brother and Sister I would perish without the 3 of you
I need my friends
Will J, Reshuan and Lee
Yall carried me
I need people
Without people
I cease to exist
I remember I told mama I did not need a woman
Told her I will do it by myself
And then I got married
And still was trying to do it by myself
That is why I got bus left
I need me a woman
I need someone to call my wife
I never realized how important yall were to my growth
I need my wife and children
To make me feel complete
I will accomplish my dream of having a family
The Fall was my Triumph
It brought me back to life
Back to Reality

My
Future Wife
By Dale
No matter how much yo mama clown
I will still be down
My allegiance to you is for a lifetime
I promise to be there for you
I shed tears for not being able to see my universe
You the reason why I spit the positive light
Despite your mamas actions
Her essence I never curse
Excuse me Aden I almost forgot
There is your other mother
She is my wife and I love her like no other
She will never talk down about your biological
Only positive things we say about your mama every day
Even though she did not give you life
This woman resuscitated mine
Showed me that I Was a good man
Showed me my faults
But gave me a chance to shine
So now she is with us
If you need it she got it
From clothes to bread
Thank the creator for Mrs. Rodriguez
My Future Wife

She Is
By Dale
Let me pinch myself
I am dreaming man, let me enter the real world
It is 10am
And I still am thinking about this beautiful girl
She is on my mind
A good percentage of the time
No matter the hour or date
Even when I am working out
I think about her while I push up the weight
She Is
High Maintenance and Classy
Yet it helps me to be clean and not ashy
She Is
What I interpret as nagging and always on my back
Yet she is only showing me how to be a better man
She showing me the areas in which I slack
She is
The only woman right now in my world
She is the reason why I see the beauty in pearls
Today I felt I made her upset
Said somethings I should not have said
Being to critical, and over talking
Like I aint got no respect
She retorted back when her simple arguments
And I snapped back with power and awe
Explicit Logic that made her comments look small
Facts, that made me look tall
In reality
My message of political inequity was lost with my angry soliloquy
A powerful message for the world was reduced to the level of profanity
I Thought her objections to my convo were out of line
But I as I sat and listened
She really touched this sometimes cold heart of mine
Her words were like a breath of fresh air
All I could do was read and in awe stare
I take your words and adorn them around my heart and mind like jewelery
Words full of support, wisdom
Your words and correction help me
She is
More than a woman
That is why I aint afraid to say
I is falling for an awesome Crimson Tide A.K.A.
She is more than a fan
More than a supporter
That is why want to be her man
Then eventually court her
She is....

Resurrection
When
I was on hell date for 7 days
I vowed never to write
poetry for another woman again
I gave her my soul
from my pen
And she stole my
writing like a caper
And then proceeded to
use my poetry for her toilet paper
She politely wiped me
away
Until my words were
found by an A.K.A.
She picked my up words
and placed them in her pink and green hospital
Every time she gave me
a praise for my writing
I felt a tingling
sensation
Call it mouth to mouth
Resuscitation
The poet is coming
back to life
The resurrection of
Manasia C. Thorn
He died a victim to a
woman's scorn
Was a victim of what a
woman said
But do not refer to
him as Manasia
He is a man now
Call him Mr. Rodriguez
But forget the next
thing I am about to say
Back to the A.K.A.
Mister Perfectionist
and Miss Picky
They look good together
Two touched folks
linking up
Will they make it to
forever?
I just want to cherish
the moment with her
Watching her walk
Makes me rise like a
beanstalk
I just want to be yo
supporter
Just like the sole of
your show
And while we on the
beach I whisper in your ear
I just want to marry
you so I kiss you anytime I want too
So later on down the
line
When we get into a big
or fall out
When you walk down the
wedding aisle
Full of anger with no
smile
About to Marry Mr.
Andrew Breakup
Doubt sets in and your
legs begin shake
And you leave him at
the alter
Because you know at
the beach awaits your Jake
Melanie I am still am
here
Despite what we go
through
I just want to show
you I support and love you
As we kiss I hear
somebody say
Big wheels keep on
turning
Carry me home to see
my kin
Singing songs about
the Southland
I miss Alabama once
again
Excuse me Mr. Thomas
Your customers are
here to see you
I cut off the Lynrd
skynrd and go to my meeting
Feeling slightly upset
about not being able to finish my midday dream
However a soft voice
voice says to me
Keep God first in
regards to Wendy
Plan for success and
not rush into disaster
And this will become
your reality....
