Pass Da Mic

I spoke and you didn't hear. I need to turn up the volume, Why are you so obtuse? Hold up! Pass da mic. You want me to listen But you speak "at" and not to! I hear your long words, You are very educated. But you have lost touch, with people and reality. Love and care is action. You have forgotten how, to connect and feel. You look at me like I'm another species. Am I not human? Let me educate you, what is a world without love? It's about time you come, to my side of the tracks. What you will find is "you" we all are "one" apart of the human race. I don't have much money as you, but I'm still rich. The wealth that I have is more valuable than all yo riches! I'm out! And I “dropped da the mic” 2-15-19 Alexis Y.

Powerful, especially 'I hear your long words' and 'love and care is action' - I believe words are important but actions are too, strong message!

I think you have dropped the mike exactly the way it was to be dropped, my friend. "It's about time you come, to my side of the tracks. What you will find is "you" - this is what we all should do! If we only knew!

I love everything about this one, Alexis. Couldn't agree with you more!! Having been a lowly instructor/teacher/adjunct faculty peon in 'academia' for the last umpteen years, I've got a number of 'professors' to send this one to---framed with their name on it! ~ Gershon
