San Francisco

surrounded
by the lights...
signs.
Of life.
People wandering
about day and night.
Homeless people
sitting on the sidewalks
with their small furry 
companions to keep
them company.
Religions and races
everywhere. Cultures
widening...
Buildings growing tall
& wide.
A city that never sleeps,
surrounded...
A town, admired greatly.
A place filled with
people.
Some so incredible, to
be remembered
forever...
Surrounded & so full of life.

P.I.'s

P.I.'s
Interfering, butting in when not needed.
Heading to where they shall not get in.
What do you want? Don't do it--don't try it.
Nothing but a P.I.
Don't act so shy... Cause you aint all that sly. But why?
Your moves, your talk. Too cheap to represent. Will she go for it; shall she play to your game...
Cause your such a P.I.
Who is it you trying to get in... get at?
No need to play.
Trying to spit that game.
Too obvious to get it.
Try as you may... Spit as you will. Cause you'll never split. Until you get.

Unfortunate Realities

The world around me...
Is filled with smog &
                       pollution.

The world around me...
Is filled with ignorant people
                          who don't practice
                                            what they preach.

The world around me...
Is filled with starving children,
                 Because their parents are
                                too busy doing a line


Or

     
 Shooting up.
With kids having unprotected sex
                        Before they hit high school.

Parents too stupid to know whats going on

Or

In denial & can't face any conflicts
their children might have in their
life...

The world around me...
Is filled with parents too selfish to
                                 Love their children...

"I"

I see...

A sky filled with 
         smog & pollution

I hear...

Society speaking of hatred,
            predjudice, racism & 
                              ignorance

I feel...

Pain from authority holding 
                             me down

I am...

Someone who can see, hear 
               & feel all the wrong 
               things that everyone does.

Reality in a Dream...

it felt so real and so terrifying. i was in san francisco in a fast food restaurant which i remember to be burger king at the time. i was sitting at a table with 2 guys, who i seemed to know very well in my dream. we were just kickin it-- when all of a sudden one of the guys pulled up my shirt half way and pulled off a pair of small sharp scissors that i had taped right beneath my chest. then he took the scissors and slit me open from where my first rib was, to the middle of my chest. and he proceeded to pull out a small object--( an object that i can't really describe, except that it looked as if it were a organ & was slightly smaller than the palm of my hand). he pulled it out of me as if i were hiding it. and all i could do was watch him pull it out of me, as if i didn't feel a thing. and in a short second, the other guy was right behind me with the scissors and he stabbed me right in the middle of my back, until the handles of the scissors were touching my back. then i put one hand over my chest and turned around, looking to the back of the restaurant hovering over the table and with other hand reaching for my mother. blood was everywhere. blood seeping through my clothes, my chest, back and mouth. i was pleading for my mothers help. i was crying for her to save me, to rescue me... to help me escape the pain. then i woke up.

ILOVEADIDAS

My ode to adidas... A loyal fan of the brand! Been rocking adi since 96'. Could wear it all day ev'ry day!! <3

Adidas

The beautiful stripes,
strowing of orange.
The brightness of it
all, smoothing onto
the white soft 
leather.
Gazing into the power
of the half flower, of 
love.
Longing to slip into,
Unto the time of 
unknown.

Battle

The cunning young 

man creeping up

behind like a cat 

hunting a mouse... 

To murder his rival in 

such a ancient 

manner. 

Suffocating in an

un-easy silence praying 

to the young man to let him go... 

To be set free of the 

agonizing pain, forever.

Running

Running>>>

                      Who are you? What do you want?

              No!... Wait....,

   I don't wanna know.

   Stop!    Stop following me....

                                      Just go away!!!

               Walking as fast as I can--away 

               from danger.

      But that's not good enough.

            He keeps coming fast and faster...

                                          I pull out my knife,

            be he keeps approaching,

    faster and faster.... I run, he runs...

                                 So I run some more. I run,

    I run as quick as I possibly can...

                        He's getting closer and closer.

                                                  I almost give up.

But I tell myself to keep going and then i will 

                                                  be okay. He 

                                                  almost had me, 

                                                  but I outran 

                                                              him.

 Shaking all over inside, I reach to safety, 

                                                      physically.

But mentally, no one knows but me....

Sunflowers

Sunflowers so orange,

As orange as the sun.

Sunflowers so bright...

The sky so blue.

Sunflowers blooming in the

sun...

As sunflowers are #1.

Sunflowers petals so light...

light as white.

But so yellow, to make

you mellow.

Sunflowers so green...

Not to make you mean.

No FADS allowed!

This is not a place for trends or FADS. So get your mind right. Not about what society perceives whats "HIP". It is about what moves us as a people. Listening to the radio, reading the magazines or seeing what's on tv to tell us how to dress, where to go or what kind of music we should "like"? I don't fucking think so! No one is supposed to choose for you in what you should like. I know for myself, it is about what "I" like, what "I" enjoy. We lead our own lives, choosing to follow or to be your own... I obviously choose my own. No one dictates what I enjoy in life, let alone music. Such a amazing form of self expression. People need to stop hoppin for what they think is HIP!

Intro yo!

This blog isn't just about poetry, mostly my poetry work. But also tid bits of various art work, real hip hop culture (not that mainstream BS) and all that entails... whatever tickles my fancy.
