Whisper (The Secret)

Listen.... Let me tell you a secret peep it poetry is an art form, so intriguing. Whether you're in solitude or on stage speaking not speechless. Poetic speeches teach the future's young leaders many reasons to lead the leadless to be leaders. Knowledge, college scholars showered with power make nonbelievers cowar. Hardtimes tower over our life and devour us from the inside-outward, if we let it. If we could....backtrack our tracks to the past back when elementary class was in session, I'd take a different road as an inacurate adolescent. Back when.... grandmother was packin' a blessin' in a black sac clappin and stressin' cause young kids weapon clappin' in da back of da black Lac actin manish. I'd be a.... doctor, an athletic athlete in a track meet, a balla that packs Heat like Shaq. A teacher, I'd be Puff Daddy and remix 'Mo Money Mo Problems' featuring Aretha. But remember, that's my secret, shhh, don't tell anybody.
