Gene's Poetry

I’m gonna rap on your door and tap on your window pane.

Until I can get through to you, they ain’t nothing I can do.

I want to thank you Aretha, Ms. Ross and and all you sisters that got me through…

I can say I know how to love a man, get respect, and it’s thanks to you. Bette and others so low down cool.

Until I became a winner, I was the loser of all time. It was when I decided I was young, gifted and white that I finally got blessed with my rhymes.

I am the happiest person on the earth because all my dreams have come true, and it’s thanks to you, my sisters of color, Celia Cruz God bless you… and Lauryn Hill you should be my cousin. Bless your hearts and keep this faith alive until the day we all die and forever after Amen, Amen to this love we share that transpires all ends, my friends, God bless, shall your fruit multiply for Jah and Adonai.

To God, Jah and Adonai. To Allah amen and amen. To all my friends amen and bless your hearts for your truth, your love, your courage and your faith to the one Almighty that guides us all.
