Poems And Lyrics By Ken (The Man)

I wished for them to love you, Accept you despite your ps and qs, I wanted to elucidate them My own folks, all of them, I begged them to accept your culture, And like two soluble solvents, Love each other to become one, I risked everything, when I took you home. They accused you of effrontery, I said you only talked improperly, That your people were different, I took one for you, right on the chest, They said you revealed too much skin, That you aimed to seduce other kin, I said your world was hotter than this, I risked everything , when I took you home When he smiled at you, I thought he finally understood you. He showed you around, the garden and the pool, At last an informed man, I was a fool, The innocent wink, the cheeky grin They told me I dug my own grave, gritty and grim I risked everything, when I took you home      By Ken

Simplicity is what I crave, And be in abundance but still keep humility, To be influencing yet allow influence, But the mystics of life, The pleasantries of temptation, Always drive me astray, astray into luxury Simplicity is what I crave, For am despised by exuberance, They say   it bears immorality And am scared, scared of falling short, For am only sententious, am only a man A man trapped between luxury and simplicity. Simplicity is what I crave, To have and not seem like have, To have yet not seem like I don’t have, I pray for society’s help, society’s humility For we’re born to prejudice Whether in luxury or simplicity. By Ken.

She drew a star, a bright star, And expected it of her suitor, But dream s never respect reality, And she got disappointment, a rogue, He drank himself to a stupor She sought salvation, maybe escapism In realms of religion and groups, But only to add to her misery, If only this misery knew her misery, He struggled with acceptance, The bitterness of underachievement, A failed lover, a victim of circumstance She found her way out, Freedom beckoned from a mirage, And she ran off to seek refuge,   A new life, a life of solitude, If one is truly enough, Then it wouldn’t be the loneliest, She found lonely peace but caused his demise By Ken

I'm  trapped in dismay, Wonder why it had to be May? Now am doped, doped in loneliness; I loved, it was broken How should I make it through? If this fate can’t be true Just at the prime, epitome of desire, That am stripped inside, Into a nudity of loneliness and heart ache, I loved like her, like a woman, My heart opened wide, wide and accepting, Acceptance into a bondage of love. Show me ooh inner Casanova? How to seek love and satisfaction, Beseech me ooh sensual Romeo, Into an endurance that pays, Teach me ooh love doctor, To define love, to redefine procrastinated love
