He showed up one day, Yellow matted fur. Made friends with my girl, Found out he loved her. Ate all the dog food, Decided to stay. A nuisance at first, Please just go away. He followed us up And down the street. He shared meals with us, And he loved Sweet Pea. He ran at a touch Or step towards him. Slept out in the rain Or under a limb. This went on for years And we grew so close. He sat in my lap While we watched clouds float. It all changed one day And our world grew dark. Our gentle friend With his tender heart. He lost the fight That windy night. Hid in the woods- He understood. He was going to die. She was going to cry. No time to ask why. No time for goodbye. She buried him then That Easter Sunday. Wrapped in a white sheet He slept on some days. Life went on but Miss him so much. Wish we could just Have one more touch. Just one more day. Just want to say We love you Ballou And we’ll see you soon. We hear him sometimes. His footsteps so near. We call out his name- Ballou please come here.

Found Song

By Awuah-Mainoo Gabriel


If it is for you, it is for me, it is for us and the world; you can call it a reclamation, you can call it redemption song. A true story of rap-star friend who’s lost his voice, dream and family in the goriness of war. However you call it, it is a composition for PEACE!

The Virus

By Edward McBride


This is my version of the pandemic that is gripping the whole world at the moment. The song reflects that it is a great leveler and is unfortunately taking the lives of too many older people in nursing homes. Any money generated from sales of this song I will give it to front line workers. Thank you
