There's no I'm "trying" to be intellectual, because for so many centuries we were seen as Spooks/Coons and Dinges - unable to comprehend and academically ineffectual - only in terms of Breeding were we considered to be flexible.... I'm here to debunk the myth of the plantation buck/struck down by God/shuffling his feet and merely relying upon luck...I'm primarily a scholar, but I still get aroused and still highly sexual... I'm not here to validate a White Supremacist cancer...I'm the Brown People enhancer - I'm the seldom brought up Jeopardy answer/ I'm the Superhero that existed even before The Black Panther...I'm the rare species that survives on land and water like a salamander... I'm the racist doctrine lancer/I'm the one you hate because my brain outthinks yours just a little bit faster/I'm the Brown Man who's humble but if you cross me imma turn into a stag and gore you with my antlers... I'm not here to exist as you perceive or want me to be/giving up on myself and my race just to bend the knee...The same God that you claimed enslaved us is the same God who created me free/I'm a man of educational profundity...I'm a Pillar/a Giant/a Juggernaut....In three words...I'm Just Me...Who I am...

mlowe5 says: Thanks for this excelent scholarly muse. How ironic it is that to be the intellectuals that we are, even our own cannot understand why we choose to be who we are. HBC refused to hire me; i refused to be the others "boy". Yes, I'm "poor" professionally, but struggling in the Village, I know and you have confirmed, my Brother, "...I'm A MAN OF EDUCATIONAL PROUNDITY...{gifted by God]...a Pillar/a Giant/ a Juggernaut..." Thank you Sir, Peace and Love, mlowe5 (Millard Lowe). |

Poetiq1der says: Peace and God's Blessings to you and yours. @Charles2 Thank You So Much for the love, I truly am touched. Yes, I've heard and am familiar with the Last Poets, they're legendary in the artistic world of words and writing. They were poised to become unglued because of internecine squabbles in the past nonetheless, I hold them in high regard... |
