Most Certainly Not

This is not a poem

It will not be eloquent

like Nikki

or as graceful as

Maya

This is not a speech

that is as profound as

Martin

or as driving as

Malcolm

This is not a spoken word

that is as mellow as

Jill 

or as soul stirring as 

Gil

Not a rap song that will 

make you move your feet like

Gucci 

I am not as assertve as

Kanye

This is not

This is not

Most certainly not

A call to attention from

Claude

but 

If We Must Die

Can we see who we really

Are

Not stars

Quasars

No need to ask to get in

We are already

Invited

Let us redirect

the Miseducated

Life is much more than

a check to cash

Let us solace ourselves with

love for our communities

Give something back

The stuff that crack

Took away

This is not

This is not

Most certainly not

a sitcom

Cause some

Houses have 

real Pain

as we walk the line of

M.C Gusto and

Dead Mike

Putting ourselves into boxes

But 

the Black Man

has a different

type of

Funk

This is not

This is not

Most certainly not

an insult like

Ghetto or

Sha-Nay Nay

Black women 

Don't act like that for real

That was 

play play

Something that this

Is 

Most certainly

Not
