Creolizing GraceWe often lament long-term effects of slavery
on those enslaved across multiple generations.
Enslavement leads to addiction and codependent denial,
then is taught and mentored to enslaved children,
also separated from family and sold,
until third generations and beyond
were dressed in commodified adoptions
and creolizing adaptions
and fear
and anger
and despair
about not born...

Inspiration Kick Push Lupe FiascoKopastetic
Not even barely breathing chest thumping like a tamburine n
Trying to be decent
But the whole situation has my chest wheezing head pounding heart leaking for what a bloodclot reason.
The explanation was just weak why not admit defeat when got the speaking
It just ain't kosher...

when they tell you to just let it go,unhook the anchor...

you are giving someone power,when you let...

Your Time Is LimitedYour life is the full world, the stars, sun, and moon.
On your own, you can fight the tough times real soon.
Unsteady moves can't let you up the ladder; never tone down.
Rarely will we meet; we set the lousy goal to impugn.
Tacked and seated, man has...

I Am ConfusedI have tried and I think I have tried
When you fail they are notified
When you shout they are silent
I will shout to that extent
You can live to tell
And forget to dwell
Among which is most significant
And mislead him who is so infant
I have tried and I...

I'Ve Lost My Love ForeverMy life’s became hell
And I wanna yell.
Once upon a time,
I loved a girl nine to nine.
We shared each other’s feelings,
Have known each other for a long time.
She often used to cross the wall,
And I used to prevent her from a fall.
But these were just a...

UpsPeople paid a premium
So gifts would be on time.
Many never made it, though,
Which seems a Christmas crime.
Charging extra means to me
You plan to keep your word.
Saying “sorry” can’t correct
The letdown that occurred.
Spokesmen said they hadn’t planned
On how much people sent,
So workers handled what they could
But...

Verse
Inward Or OutwardInwardly mostly content
Outwardly not quite to that extent
Inwardly I don't have to interact with those not like minded
Outwardly I have to see, hear, and feel those the world has blinded.
Inwardly I can assess all that I consume
Outwardly life does t allow that much time or...

Voice of a doctor for justice
Voice of a doctor
For Justice
A doctor,
I am and was
my father’s dear daughter,
pearl of mother’s eyes
my brother’s very heart,
not meant for
such severe torture
or heinous manslaughter,
I lie wasted;
Of years of those buiguels
to treat both as equals
be it daughters or sons,
Many slogans...
