Why I love Hip-Hop!

The following is poetry in motion from Beanie Sigel; And I see no bravery, No bravery in your eyes anymore. Only sadness. Dear self, can I talk to you, I been trying to have this conversation for years but you won't listen, Damn, are you that plain ignorant? you're so indignant, Please come off that high chair your sitting in, Before you're snatched from it, or strapped to it, Ya body used as a conduit, a thousand volts flow through you, Ya life gone over something foolish, Talking to you is so useless, Ya head harder than them walls you'll be housed in soon, Before ya body's embalmed and you lie entombed, Open ya ears, eyes and heart, cause that hour's soon, And the hour shall cometh, when Ish* Rahzel blows his trumpets, The sky shall crack, the stars will plummet, The sun will rise in the West you'll drown in your own sweat And when that day shall be, I'll bet I'll see no bravery. Dear self can I talk to you? Who are you to ...

PARDON MY FRENCH

I swore upon my great grandfather's twin goats that never shall my voice be raised upon one born of a woman but you Cobbina Born of a harlot mother my oath is raised for your sake You dared to be the volcano that erupts to destroy the vegetation of dignity I have cultivated around myself You dare to be the hurricane that sweeps across my shore of success But you Kofi Cobbina Since when did you leave the company of our faithful town helpers to become a man of respect was it not just yesterday that your only livelihood was closed because the town-men decided to stick to their wives So Cobbina Which god cursed you to step upon toes which would have walked to drop a few coins into your empty bowl I walked into a meeting of the town's men only to hear to my horror the sad story of an octogenarian How dare you, a leper climb into the bed of one old enough to mother a thousand you In broad daylight Women were said to be the first mistake of nature but since your arr...

the young planet

i watched in disbelief this morning on al jazeera, of indians in the amazon who have not yet had contact with civilization. i remembered reading about the vastness of the amazon and of its bountiful and seemingly infinite natural resource. the brazillian researcher who discovered them while flying over unexplored regions of the area lamented on the eminent extinction of the race due to over logging and encroachment on the amazon forest. the extent of their isolation is cemented with images of Indian tribes aiming arrows at the passing helicopter - most likely assuming it to be a monster sent by the gods to end their very existence. this i fear is true, as any contact with the isolated Indians would mean their end for purely pathological reasons.modern man is immune to diseases that the Indians cannot even dream of. in fact, they are the last remaining pure souls on earth. every time an explorer enters the amazon and braves into new regions, there is a new discovery. i hope our curiosit...

funny you should ask!

It seems only prudent that if one wants to look into a bottle, that one should not be in that bottle, or any bottle for that matter. Many people (including my closest friends) believe me to be a borderline crazy person whose only true quality is his satiric humor. Most people do not comprehend that the child is the father of the man, ergo, I am the product of my upbringing. At a point in time, I had all the labels and saw what everyone else was seeing. And then i did the unthinkable; I questioned my faiths. I asked the whys and hows and are you sures so many times and got so many different answers that I came to understand the truth to be not one, but, a multifaceted mercurial creature with infinite domain. So I arrived at the first sentence of this discourse. Once I came across a question posed by an eight year old to a priest (I believe I was sixteen then) that made me question the manner in which I thought. This eight year old made me realize that Rationality (the foundation on...

Long Distance

you and me us together and apart you and me two bodies, one heart we've done it over and over again through its ecstasies and pain on my back ... on your back on the sheets ... in the sack i hear your heavy breathing and wonder what it means like most lads oblivious at first then not you say your neck hurts when we do it for too long i say dont be shy ... let everyone hear you everynight some short ... some long me in the capital ... you in the brong miles apart, inches away i feel your heart beat everyday in the past ... in the present everywhere and time i can think of except when you are actually with me

Tonight

Tell me how much you want me Whisper in my ears how much you need me Show me just how much Kiss me softly all over my body Suckle on my nipples as you hum R - Kelly's Greatest Sex Tell me of things to come ... and then show me Show me your body clad in nothing Walk to me like a lioness towards her prey I am your prey Pounce on me and devour me Gorge yourself till you are satiated! “ A bachelor has to have inspiration for making love to a woman, a married man needs only an excuse ”   Helen Rowland

Schadenfreude

Religion is the attempt to shed all things human in order to become a god. By this I refer to the fact that by nature, humans do not have the propensity to be anything but human. It would take tremendous effort on the part of any person to overcome what is natural (human), in order to become un(super)natural. I find it funny when I hear "The good old days, when there was less crime, and more love, and people were more communal!".  The only thing good or different about then and now is climate change. Human behavior has evolved in the last twelve thousand years as much as human physiology. So it is safe to say - we are as bad or good as we have always been.The only reason why we notice it more is because of better record keeping and the media. What is really on my mind today is schadenfreude. Its a German word that means "Joy in others pain.". I know it's funny to see someone get wet in the rain, or fall down flat in the mud, or fall into any other silly misfor...

FeAR

i do not fear that which moves in the shadows at nite nor that which crawls or slithers through corners and crevices i do not fear that which has sharp teeth or claws like a tyrannosaur rex i do not fear taxes or inflation or economic depression or things that go BOOM my only fear is to wake up in a world where everybody loves the same color prefers the same wine believes in the same gods talks about the same issues and live the same lives to wake up in such a world, would be the end of my world “Toward no crimes have men shown themselves so cold- bloodedly cruel as in punishing differences of belief - J. R. Lowell " "There never were in the world two opinions alike, no more than two hairs or two grains; the most universal quality is diversit y -   Michel de Montaigne "

Truth

I feel an inherent need to be truthful. But truth in itself is a vague expression of relative ideas in a misplaced time. What truth is there in this world but one ... That truth is a function of place, time and sanity. If history has taught me anything, it is that mankind's idea of truth is as dynamic and misplaced as unharnessed geothermal energy, and as misrepresented as the religious dogma of a dyslexic priest. But i still feel the need to be truthful. Is it my physiological predisposition to do so, or am i psychologically dysfunctional. Lets be frank here, it is not innate (of humans) to be good. What is primal to all is the sense of self preservation. So being good becomes either a function of self preservation (in other words, selfishness) or a transcendence of that which is primal - self preservation. So you see, either we are good because we are selfish or we are good because we are abnormal. I plead the latter. The truth is rarely pure and never simple - Oscar Wilde

WELCOME

Many people call me crazy. I know am not. My mother had me tested! The psychologist told me the first step to recovery is to know what is wrong with you. So this is step 1:- I have free expression syndrome. Simply put, I am genetically predisposed to say whats on my mind. If I do not, my mind would implode. This is my attempt to keep from going crazy.
