Continuing to be a fighter for the sake of the fight
Keeps me going when the fight gets rough
So I fight against the ropes fighting from the corner
Get knocked to the floor then fight my way up
Stand in my awkward fighting stance
Take a page from Ali and do a fighters dance
Fight off a few low blows and fight for a better position in the clinch
Roll with a punch fighting back the pain in my ribs
As I fight the boo's out of my head as I'm saved by the bell
Sit in my corner eyeing the apposing fighter in the distance
Size him up with my fighters vision as I fight back a smile
I see that the fight has gone to his head and he thinks he's winning
Grinning as I know that his winning streak is nearing its end
The signal from the fighters table to ready the fighting bell
Fix my fighting mitts adjusting my fighters nuts
Wipe away some dried up blood from the cut on my chin from the fight
Put in my fighters mouth piece ready to give him more hell
Answer the bell ready to fight on
Step back to the center cut the fight off from the space of the ring
Fake a right and pop the fighter in his right ear
Though I struggle tunnel vision of the conclusion of the fight
I fight on with more fight than the beginning
Fight away my glee as the fight takes a turn
Struck with my knee the fight gets mean
I hear the ooh's in the distance since the fighting isn't clean
The fight goes on and the fight is long
But I've trained for this fight and since history passed it along
I am determinded to carry the fight on
Come up with a fight finishing move
If nessary die fighting for what I love
So I shake the ropes demanding the next fighter to come along

She listens to me
I get hugs from her when I fall and scrap my knee
Nurturing love from the few words she says
Touches those around me as she express my love through her
She's there when I rant raging out my anger
She shoulders my fury giving me a place to release it
Then within the hour her belly swells and a new child is born
That I name after me and I know she's mine because she is so much like me
Her looks her words and thoughts are from me
She takes on many forms acting as my emotions
She's long short deep thin always speaking what I keep within
She hears my tears echo's my smiles
She moves on lookers as I open her up touch her with my words
Displaying my image she dresses me in my vision
Changing the worlds view of who they believe me to be
She stands behind as proof that I feel in this serial
Letting me know that I'm real while life fakes away
She was there at my birth vocalizing my first yells
She will be living for me after my death expressing my
Greatest loves
Healing my deepest wounds
Giving my happiest joys to a world
That holds my everlasting hope
She is my medicine, my threapy, my passion
She is my way of speaking, my poetry
And she listens to me

Begins Here
Right here
Over there
Right now
Everywhere
It begins here
In the streets
Out your seats
Burn their sheets
Alter beliefs
We stand on this moment in history
Ready to change the ways of the world
For the betterment of the lives of the masses
Beginning here
Living here
Thriving here
Belonging here will no longer be passed on
Class
Sex
Race
Or capitalist greed that feeds the need to
Push thousands to death from suffering
Just so the few powers that ROBBED
Their seats of NOW temporary power
Which is Over throw-able
Command flip-able
And the governmental laws write-able
We come to the place where life for all once again becomes
Live-able
We stand on this moment in history
Locked
Loaded
Aimed
Trained
Seeking out FREEDOM above fame
Beside others with the same demands
And we unify to win the fight
Ready to die for the chance to reach that light
Of what we hoped for
Cry for
No longer lie for
Prepared to be victorious
No longer will we suffer at the hands of oppression
Because the INNER REVOLUTION
BEGINS HERE

Disaster Victims
The Victims of Disaster
The bastards of life
The prayers of the suffers prayer
The prey of the flag wavers and the charity players
The suckers fir scriptures and female mutilation
The cries of prisoner tears
The livers of life in systemized hell
The colonized, civilized capital-sized
The saved sanctified and salvation-ized
The crack babies dead beat dads unfit mothers
The dope dealers hope bleeders and faith leavers
The children of the original
The cousins of the 3rd world
The parents of the lost future

Beautiful Darkness
I saw her wearing her contrast blue outfit
Making her body glow in the hot summer sunlight
The love in my pants grew as she came near
With her natural clean smell and intellect in her eyes
She was driven to blush when she saw the admiring lust in my face
I tried to keep a professional tone and my hands to myself
Yet I broke that when I slightly touched her finger tips
Just a pass of currency turned out to be conductor of electric seduction
In my mind I felt her press against me
Her choclolate mixing with my peanut butter
Creating a new sweet sensation we both felt near
She was in a pause as well and I could only image what she was thinking
As she walked away slowly leting my hand go with a sigh and smile
First a whidened stance a turn the she struted away
Calming my nerves as she vanished in the parking lot
I truly dug her beautiful darkness

Unwanted Role Model
I portray and convey a different logic
Scream for intellect battle eradication
Against the grain spitting through the main streams window
Back stabbing the system with a positive knife
Over looking the fads
Preferring the company of the unwanted mass
Keeping ties with the damned
Raping the rich giving orgasms to the poor
As they create my villainous image setting the curve
I remind them there's more shifts to come
Because I'm studying the Book of judges
Reading between the lines
Pissing on the constitution
The burning the Magnacarta
All the while listing to Monch in my head phones
As I walk down catwalks blasting what they call jungle music
Adding to their disgust I give them my tattooed fist thrust
With my Afro held high
T-shirt with words and pictures demanding
Lip pressing on my obviously self proclaimed Afrikan ass
Never dancing or singing but forever modeling
Strong in my unwanted role with arrogant proud hated
Bliss..........

What I think of
What I think of when I’m alone in the crowed world
Living in and watching the circles roll and things start again
I think of the suffering suffered by many with little relief
Just More stress and the mourning for the deceased
Then I see the sick getting ill dying with diseases caused by neglect
Remaining painful as our stomachs rech from the past
I think of the hope driven few battling for those that have given in
Not willing to work to build within
I see those that understand the situation but add trouble to the equations with pointless Algebraic statements
While offering brainless tutoring to the shameless masses
I think of tears shed over bloody beds where possibilities slept
The singing man in the distance performing at the hopefuls wake
I think of the hell prevailing in cells while bears willfully step into traps
As they look down from the towers of occupation
I think of what the dead sees…
Still I think of the path of triumph and the paved streets of righteousness with those unwilling to stop in their tracks
Avoiding progress and sleep away a life time missing success
Till the next reincarnation of the living
What I think of when I’m alone with my thoughts as my only company
With time on my hands I reflect on my mission to be on of the ones
To correct these traditions…

The Forgetful
How can you do that
Be there feel it see the walls fall
Be built back up and you become one of the bricks in it
Keeping it strong holding up the prison
With your own children behind the gates
You marched fought and over came
But don't see it returning to the same
Because you've gotten yours
Slow up movements passing a long fear and holding in advice
Perm away the natural and hide away the actual
Giving into the false taking learning experiences as losses
Forgetting what you were apart of
Just to feed the pig and eat the hog
Yeah, all the while talking about the current generation and it's problems
Didn't they come from you
Isn't your son in jail your daughter using his bail for babies milk
And your grand baby's child support for her hair and nails
How much we've forgot....sounds like how much you forgot to teach us

A Break
During focus overload
As I study the world as it is
Looking for solutions to the problems around
I take a moment to look back at my path
See where I've come from to my destination today
Thinking of my mistakes and lows
To the creation of the rewards and elevations they've brought me
I look at pictures
The full notebooks
Listen to the music as it pulls me from my day dreams
Smile at my full, short and far from over life
Then turn the page and write the beginning of my new day

Love Ya
You gave me the purpose of love
A reason to hope
The moment to feel
What it's really about
In the time you were
Briefly but near
I felt heaven as we fought against hell
We won small battles as our love increased
You made me complete even after your departure
Because your love stayed as the days remained
When I feel the lowest I just need to look higher
See the stars in the sky and catch your loving eye
I know I always have you
I feel that your always with me
For the rest of my life
I'll always Love Ya

How could you
Frustrated with years of abuse and disrespect
With know trigger no reason in sight
Other than his face in front of her
She was finally sick of him
She thought this white man would treat her right
Give her the finer things in life
But she saw that he was just using his money to use her
Use her as his modern day slave toy
He fucked her for a few minutes
The later on short dick and change her in public
She looked him dead in his eyes with so much hate
He looked back knowing her place has change in her mind
She would no longer be called his "Nigger Bitch"
She no longer thought "My nappy headed lady" was cute
Especially after all the harsh perm treatments and wigs she went through
That she no longer wanted as her hair began to grow back naturally
Her body shook her rage building the first words screamed from her
"HOW COULD YOU?!?" flew from her lips
He looked puzzled but knowingly of what he did
After all the bad she spoke of black men she saw it was nothing comparied to him
The time she spent with him made her sick and ashamed of crossing the fence to white
Instead of speaking again she stood up first taking off the jewlery he bought her
Than the shoes
Throwing the wig in his plate
Realizing he paid for everything she was wearing...
She stripped naked in the center of the resturant
Freeing herself of him in and symbolic way
"WHAT THE..." he stopped without finishing his statement as she walked away
A bus boy saw her walking out the door and without a 2nd thought,
Rushed to his gym bag grabing a T-shirt and basket ball shorts
He handed her the clothing and ran back inside
No thank you he waited for or for her to reject the clothing
He just wanted to make sure she was "ok"
This was the kindest gester she had recieved in years
And it came from a black man
...A brother.

Why Jalili is the most Dangerous man in America
Why Jalili is the most
DANGEROUS man in America
An article from the poet’s mind
This title has been left for King, Manson and X
Marley, Garvey and Pac
Huey, Rap Brown and Ali
Now how can this title pertain to me
How can the see me as a problem
A lethal weapon aimed at their deception
The force they fear the most because they expect the least
The mouth often silent but mind always vocal
Eyes behind glasses with pupils of fire
Do I inspire, motivate and promote hate
Or just increase desire with a fight against the liar
Can I lead warriors into war with warlords
Plan the murder of murderous murderers
Is it just an image I possess that pulls their fear to the limits
Love for the black women with brother hood for the black man
Treating the black child as my main responsibility
Can it be that I see a need to be a worker working for my peoples needs
Giving up needless wants for Capitalist visions wealth
The fact that I am reaching the 25th year mark with no criminal background
With a positive 10 year plan but if I die young it won’t be pointless
It will be with purpose pursuing with penetrating passion pulling power
From those plundering pirates pain problems with pain
Anyway you see it I have become a growing threat to the continuing virus if Imperialism
With a mission of hell spreading to my people like wild fire
But I with many others have come with extinguishers
To stop the blaze killing the 3rd world people in this 1st world prison
So if I was on the other side trying to climb higher on a pile of dead innocence’s
I too would consider me to be
The most DANGEROUS man in America

It takes a Nation
They say it takes a village to raise a child but what about a people
How do you raise a race to feel that it is human
Take away the pain passed down from the past
Worked into their souls by being forced up their ass
Move them from the bottom back to the top
Pull away the shame not just make us all the same
But give them back pride
Bring back that high
Make them all fly toward that honor light
How do you raise a people to their greatness
Re-educate bravery and forget fear
Ready them to stand for who they are
Stop killing each other all backed by the law
Reverse the effect of oppression
Use it as a lesson
Put it in a sling
Fling it back in the oppressors face
Standing above the drugs recreating thugs
Making them warriors for the peoples love
How do you raise a race in the face of hate
Counter act Willie Lynch and confuse COINTELPRO
With their pride, inner peace, and purpose of existence
Move beyond the fool, the flash, and the spas of piazza
Stand with strength
Live with dignity
Survive for FREEDOM
How do you raise a race to liberation
......It takes a nation......

Battling Eradication
Looking beyond the present
I stare into the future
With a view of the past
Seeing only the same fame repeating every 15 minutes
No one willing to be a trend setter
And try to open the minds of billions to new possibilities
Just the usual suspects of the annual crimes
Fixated on enhancing the end of 95% of human lives keeping 5% in power
Murdering the 3rd world eliminating the 1st in the process
Educating children in schools with lesson plans on death
Field trips in devastation, snack times with limited hope
Leaving most hungry with the taste of a chance on their lips
Yearning for more “But you can’t get more until you go “HOME”
Home to the after and this brings me to tear filled laughter
As the chant of “Savior save them” from hanging their own chains
Now left with the decision to choose my narcotic
Whether to die with the rest
Faith in a system extorting belief
Hope that life would become livable for the rest
Or the choice to go down fighting living for the future of like
Die in the present with righteous sacrifice
After learning from the past gaining the weapons to defeat repeating the same mistakes
On this mission as existence as the grand reward

Something has found us
“Something has found us”
Screams a voice from the hidden place of peace
Where assimilation is frowned on and crime is a lie
“Something is killing us”
Screams a woman from far off
As a new force corrupts the one of the liberated people
Taking them away from the life they new
“Something is making us hate ourselves”
Screams a child from his mothers arms
When his father is forced away
Death over takes him leaving his child partially whole
“Something is winning”
Screams a voice in a crowd as others give in
Working hard to bring truth to its knees
And harmony to its resting place
“Something has found us”
Whispers the last words of hope
Leaving anguish in its wake
While the rest debate suicide in the form of lining with hopeless hope
Chanting “freedom isn’t free”
It no longer is….
Because something has found us and we need to find a way to beat it

History of the “Grill”
Master did it first
Slapped it in my mouth because my tooth hurt
Put his letter on it said “These shiny caps not only make it easier to eat so you can stay alive and work for me, but the let other know who’s property you are because my name is in your mouth”
The house slaves got jealous they thought master liked me best
So they wanted it to
The master put it in everybody’s mouth and told his friends they should do the same with their property
Some of us understood the purpose of this and didn’t want it any more
But we couldn’t take them out of escape until…they let us go
Still many of us kept them, thinking it looked good
Children saw them with this and grew up putting them in their mouths too
They forgot what they meant putting their own names in them and rocks to make them shine that our distant family dug up and died for
They still do it thinking it looks good and as a alternative to good dental care
If they only knew what I know…the real history of the “grill”

The master put it in everybody’s mouth and told his friends they should do the same with their property
Some of us understood the purpose of this and didn’t want it any more
But we couldn’t take them out of escape until…they let us go
Still many of us kept them, thinking it looked good
Children saw them with this and grew up putting them in their mouths too
They forgot what they meant putting their own names in them and rocks to make them shine that our distant family dug up and died for
They still do it thinking it looks good and as a alternative to good dental care
If they only knew what I know…the real history of the “grill”

Occasion
I had to smile when I saw her, just what I like
Very fit, black and beautiful, natural hair, eyes with that proud glare
She glanced at me and fought back a smile,
But she peaked back over her shoulder as she passed
For that instant I was a bit upset that I let her walk away

Sensation
I remember when I first meet my angel
This feeling hit me, not really love at first sight
Still I knew she was special
She saw me and you could tell it was the same for her
We traded looks before we spoke to each other
Simple intros became small talk that lasted hours
Soon strangers became friends and friends became lovers
That single moment became something lager than just us
I still feel that sensation when I think back to that day

Follow that line see you destination and reach it

Just make it better pass it after you master it
If you falter don’t cry just climb it rising above it
First fin it decide it’s what you want
See only what you need take it with speed
Feed it eat if inject it once you’ve selected it
Get to who what where you say you are with it

I shot you
I shot you and take full responsibility for your pain
I take ownership of the crime
I am guilty of your murder
I am the one that pulled the trigger loaded the gun pushed you to the streets
I called you out you name kept you in the dark about your potential
I made stupid, thuggish, nigga, ghetto and NO SNITCHING when it comes to making a positive difference cool as well as living your life as a fool
I made it getter finically for your father to stay away
I made it easy to blame others for the pain all the while watching you hurt yourself
I told the world to forget, kill, demonize, imprison you and all that could help you
I killed you years before your birth shortened your life
Because I didn’t want you be who you could be save the rest of yours
I marched with King before killing him to then ran with Bush after being ran by Reagan
Turned my head when drugs came and killed some of your great minds
Put you away for selling the same drugs I sent to kill you
I made you inner city, urban, coon, porch monkey, slave and worst of all NIGGER
I shot you as I put the gun in your hand
I shot you all in the name of me….America

Are you ashamed
I was asked if I was ashamed
This woman asked me if I was ashamed
Looking in my eyes
Eyeing my natty braids
My T-shirt displaying black pride
The way she looked at me showed me she thought less of me
She figured my puzzled look at her question was ignorance
My pause and thought of what I might have done wrong was weakness
I then looked at her straightened hair
Her made up face and prideless attitude
Without a 2nd thought I didn't ask her why ask me
I wasn't ashamed of being a strong black man
My looks are a window into my mind and all that is showed was pride
The way I speak, my walk all reflect my heart
That never shook with any shame
I worried for the state of my people
But that's not what she was asking as she looked with her detached reality
So I asked her
Are YOU ASHAMED?!?!
She stop her glare felt the strength in me
Realized I wasn't
Realized she was
She knew than she was ashamed of who she has become

For
For me
For us
For she and he
For we
For the reason to live with the chance to die
For the hope of change
For the person to blame
For a chance at fame
For one less pain
For emptiness
For happiness
For hell
For the right to be a fool
For the willingness to be a thinker
For beginnings
For conclusions
For me
For us
For she and he
For we
For a few more times feeling the world twirl

Watching Thunder Crumble
Like an avoided judgment day
The Impossible happened in a sickening way
An anti-miracle occurred
As Faith strayed
Empathy played
While elephants went deaf in the wake as
Naturals went fake
Reason became debates
Purpose was made to wait
And it was easier to assimilate
Then face up to demonized hate
This only brought about my hunger

Contents under pressure
Under pressure
*Warning contents under pressure*
This should be the label on my chest
The consent misjudgments
The misleading thinking
All the harm done to my few blessings
It's a wonder I'm still breathing
Annual disappointments
Hope missed appointments
A world with my family missing so much focus
Still fighting along but tight with pressure
Under pressure
*Warning contents under pressure*
Still standing
Still fighting
Still breathing
