In the years before the 90's we were kids

Kids that played outside for hours

When thirsty we hydrated ourselves by drinking water for water hoses connected to our houses

We creatively came up with games to play such as:

If you want to succeed in anything or accomplish anything you've started

Fight for it

Fight for it to not have any regrets

Never quit while on your quest

Just quietly do whatever it takes and distance for success

You are the navigator of your life

Only you have control of the steering wheel

You may not be perfect on the way

But you'll be okay only if you make the best decisions on every first time

Pivot through life's adversities on a dime

The vibe is strong here and it is clear we came with a purpose. We were cursed and we turned it into prosperity. We engineered somethng different, something special, and we are all a part of that. From the ether we spread the word that urban poetr...

If I had to tell the world
goodbye today

and I didn't have anything
to say

If I had nothing at all to

Some eyes look straight through the glass

Others watch the change in the reflection it cast

smokeout in the backyard
grandpa burns the ribs again

someone said orange juice
someone said lemon juice
someone said vinegar

to a great poetic griot
who's presence was felt
who's pressence is missed
a teacher who taught
who spoke words he meant
who's kind words meant
more than the ink it took
to write poems and haikus
that shall forever live

the shape of your face
reminds me of a perfect
mold of clay

pressed against my fingers
but it leaves a heavy ache

I try to trace the lines of
us before they smooth away

soon it's gonna rain and
muddy the promises we made

we try to hold it...

Forbidden thats what pops

up many times and times again

always interupting a rhythmic flow
