Rolling up (haiku)

Parked car rolling up
Packing green in a brown leaf,
the blunts on my knee

I’m not so glamorous you know; I just wanna sip my sip, write my poems, read my books, and spin my vinyl. Any and everything else is extra.

TAP PEOPLES

A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness, as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men - and people in general.

-Lorraine Hansberry

Dreams of a Songstress

She was something I dreamed
On that cold and lonely night
The first time I heard her sing
Words that spoke to me
Both crude and polite

She sang a song of heartache
Then a song of romance
Without ever bittering her face
For the woman had escaped
And gave freedom to her hands

Vocally stroking my ego
with poetry pacifying my soul
Her melody seduced my ears
With the thoughts she imposed

That night her love followed me home
Walking me through the cold
Humming a story of peace
Until I found sleep
Hoping to find her in my dream
Where she’d sing once more for me

For those of you still weighing in on Lil Wayne’s remarks about Emmet Till in the song, “Karate Chop,” don’t be so surprised when artist, (especially drug addicted shiftless artist), disregard your heritage, tradition, etc. After all, they’re only fulfilling prophecy, less you forget the words of the prophet TUPAC SHAKUR: “If you take me out of the game, you won’t want to see the next one. Trust me. Take me out of the game, you won’t wanna see this next dude, ’cause he ain’t gonna have no compassion.” Who said Tupac’s Back?

Erik RaveloLana Sutra, (With United Colors of Benetton)

I believe that Lana Sutra really talks about coexistence, about living together. It is about interaction among cultures and people of different races and faiths. It’s an ode; a homage to hybridization. - Erik Ravelo
