All Things Are Conditional

When you have expectations of anyone outside of yourself
You are setting yourself up for disappointment
I try not to ever have expectations
But people ask me to trust them
I think they ask me to trust them to see if I will only
They definitely have their interests in mind
Which is not a bad thing
Its just not an honest thing
The reasons behind anything that they say to me is the conditions
I love you if you do this...
I love you if you do that...
I mean this to you if you do this...
I meant this to you if you do that...
I am secure enough in myself to not need conditions
I don't need you to be a certain way to me for me to be a certain way to you
I know all things are conditional outside of your children
So I don't place people in situations where they have to feel uncomfortable
I'm not closing my eyes while I am intimate to not fall deeper into anything
I'm not playing games with my space and or feelings
I'm not into saying I can help you, but under these conditions
I don't do that because I represent myself and my children
I already have disappointed them enough in the past
When will I take responsibility and do what is best for them?
When will I take responsibility and do what's best for me
My life is ending
Their life is beginning
I am their hero until they can evaluate me amongst their other heroes
In a while I may not fly so high
My cape may not be so brilliant
My strength will definitely diminish
And my all knowing brian will pale inside of the new world they will discover
I love them
And I need to remember how to truly love myself
All things being conditional....

Elle Est Belle (pronounced El - Ay - Bell)


Elle est belle 
And so many times I have never told her
I have passed her in streets congested with ugliness and she has renewed my spirit
I have seen her in her present condition and thought about how I may have contributed to her pain
See I have learned from other males and it's not surprising that "il" is the noun for male in french
We do sick things at times to ourselves so others don't have a chance
Yet, elle est belle
I'm not in euphoria either or speaking of any of the negative attributes of her
I am focusing on that part of her that is bigger than my primal instinct to return to Eve
Bigger than my desire to fill her and feel her as I attempt to change our future
I mean have you really seen elle as she is just being her
The perk in her step as she remembers something else that she needs to do
Her internal laugh as she remembers something that she enjoyed that was done to her
I try to stay valued in both categories
Not judging my worth by her
But showing the worth of her to me
It's easy to be vulgar
The art is in the sensuality
Elle has a tenderness that can be given in reward for her respect
Elle, tu me manque (I miss you)
Le dernier fois que je te voir (The last time I saw you)
Je te l"avais dit... (I told you)
Ni mois sauf toi (Not me without you)
Ni toi sauf moi (Or you without me)
And I meant it
I was you before I became me and I carry your "x"
"Y" makes me who I am but I still understand the compassion needed to care
You keep me there...
The problem with most of my peers words to your ears is the same problem I have with them
We don't believe them...
There has been a lost integrity behind saying what we mean
And meaning what we say
The true value of us is how everyone else feels when we are taken away

My memories of being held by you have always carried me through
So in some sort of way I want you to feel held by me
In all of my actions 
In all of my art
Elle est belle is an essential part
She is beautiful
And her inner most beauty is what drives me to her all the time
I try to complement her scars because they give her skin character
Even though she  has been taught that covering them up makes her belle
I often let her walk by when she is made up for the show
I've been hugged and got some of that on my skin
It was hot and my pores could not breathe
And if this makes her feel good then I accept it
I just don't think she believes me when I tell her that its not my preference
I like her scratches and nicks, they tell her story
I'm not talking about in marketing and promotion because we all know that that is for perfection
And this is an imperfect world 
So I hope that we all know that that is not real or attainable
Its for money
And so many do anything for money
And this is exactly where they lower their value
Il et elle (him and her)
They say all money spends the same
That has not been my experience
They say all sex is the same
That has not been my experience either
They say all men are the same
I hope this is not true
They say all women are the same
Now I know I can stop this with you
The truth is that you have the potential to start and or stop a war
Speak to the core of all of our pain if you speak to us and not at us
The maternal has an order we have not followed for so long in public
Privately wishing things could change
But not exerting our strengths to manifest what our hearts have called for
A return to the respect for elle
Then our speech in public will be tempered by appropriate dialog for our daughters
Our appearance would be palatable to all our children
And the elders would rejoice and enthusiastically give us permission to speak
And the sounds wouldn't be so weak
And everyone could tell
Elle est belle

I Fly 4 Life


I Fly 4 Life

I Fly 4 Life
I fly for the opportunity to live
I soar high above the earth on hope
I also understand what it feels like
To be tired
To be confused
To want to give up
But I don’t
I don’t ever give up
I found out that my smile
My smile soothes the spirit
It is received through the eyes
And goes right to the heart
I cry too
I Fly because of how I cry
Not why
I just fill up with so much
That it just leaks out
And it’s ok
I’m not the 1st
And I won’t be the last to cry
And I am aware that others care
People that don’t even know me feel for me
Not so strange strangers
Want to know
Where I get the strength
See, I stretch out my arms
Even if it’s when I close my eyes
And I float high above this earth
I head for the stars
I see above the clouds
I look at the sun
And I fell its heat on my face
And I remember
I Fly 4 Life
I fly to live
I fly for love
And my life makes me give
Over and over and over and over and over
Again
So you too may live…
I fly 4 Life
I fly forever
We fly together…

I Must Still Have Some Worth

I don't mind when she lays on my shoulder and speaks to me about myself and my behavior
When she tells me of how my actions have hurt us and our future
I have learned to not negate what she says because i don't believe it
because if she is saying that she feels this then this is her truth
I don't mind when she raises her voice about issues that are serious for her
Even when i think she is over-exaggerating and being too extreme
I try to always reflect later on what took past between us to try and better address the situation
On the outside people would marginalize this to love
I feel that respect is greater than love because people hit the children they love
Grab the spouse they love and neglect them as a punishment
People don't speak to people they love for years over small things
But people always give people they respect room to grow
The benefit of doubt and the room to change for the better
I respect her mind so I listen to her thoughts
I respect her decisions so I try to partner mine with hers
When she is done talking and I have listened intently
I find that I am better because of the time I have taken
I learned more about myself by listen to the perception of me from someone I respect
Someone that I don't limit to love
Someone that stretches my boundaries to be greater
If I am angry about anything it is that I never got it before
I don't romanticize any past relationship errors that could be corrected
I appreciate this moment in time of my life
Everything changes
But every change does not make you better
More prepared for the fact that at some period and time in your life
You have more past and less future to look forward to having
So you have to enjoy her softness and character
And her character has to be what you live for as time and gravity weighs in
And understand that I an a handful
But I have a life of living to give
And if she wants to share it with me
Then I must still have some worth...

Umbilical

In a time when creativity and original ideas seem to be limited
Where loyalty has taken an all time low
Where you really have to be careful of whom you consider friends
And really evaluate those you feel are enemies

All experiences teach you lessons
What you retain has to make you better when you see this again

Pretend you share the same placenta as a thinker
That you evaluate yourself and your energies and what surrounds you
That you can explain all of your actions and reasons for all the things that you do

Pretend that you are deliberate with your speech
And that you think before you speak
And that you understand the repercussions of erroneous words
That you understand what is said and what is not said
And that you evaluate actions so a lot does not need be said

Pretend that in this placenta you feel the emotions of creator
And you have that burst of energy that pushes you past stale environments
Makes you seek the positive in the situation
And to give yourself encouragements because very few give you genuine feedback

Pretend all of the women that you have dealt with understand that if its over you can still speak
Their emotions don't have to overbear their sensibility to be around you
That they should see that you have accepted rejection before
And that rejection is not death to anything but rather life to new realities

Pretend you are a man and you have to let go of childish things
Move into more secured areas that allow your children to feel safe
Understand the the transition from boy to man is an unclear line with no time attached
Know that anger and hate don't qualify as justifications for violence
And that there is nothing as strong as gentleness
And nothing is as gentle as real strength
And you do not have to be a pacifist to not like war

Now get back into your own reality
And you can see why I keep cutting the umbilical

Then We repent

My fast growing desire to be inside of my head to stay warm inside of heated thoughts of passion
The depths of the ending that never comes as many times as she sounds off into the universe for freedom
Her electricity powers my need to keep her captivated by the intensity of my interest and I turn black
I don't get green with envy, I stay black because I am the presence of every color and emotion
My inner being is deep enough to drown in and stay calm because you know some air will rise
Like I have for so many moons and so may suns that have rose and set in the horizon of us
I really am not ashamed of my lust for you and the strength in my arms contract like a boa around you
We suffocate because our kisses press our face and bodies close so we sweat and enter each other
Pourous is our love and we slowly seep into the unconsciousness and rest and peace of sleep and dance in each others dreams
Day dreams just as strong so I forget that I hate to leave the bed we share to go gather means to buy more tributes to my adoration of our images
I have to make room for more mirrors on our walls to catch us at more angles as we bathe in each others scent
Then we repent...

I Love Them Both

My mind plays tricks on me

When I think I need to give up it pushes me on

When I think I have done all I can do

It lets me know I still have more in me

It helps me to ignore the maliciousness of those closest to me

The jealousy and envy they hold

When I feel I still have nothing

Slipping between the seconds as they get closer to infinity

I stand on small stones of resiliency

Holding the small ground I raised my expectations on as my island

Staying afloat to look like a mirage

Drink of this potion and intoxicate your life with my spirits

Hallucinations make people think they are perfect

Perfection is the final stages of life when there is no living left to do

It rests in smiles of children that really only love

Rarely know hate except in words repeated from adults they believe in

My mind plays tricks on me

Telling me I can no longer believe in men

I have to loose the "n" and only believe in me

Superficial is the love of a person that is still angry and won't forgive you

Won't ever let you grow from your old self and skin already shedded

Heading for a finite position

I now understand

That my mind is my best friend

I need to embrace her willingness to love me

Intermingle her sound judgement and fidelity

And weigh it against my self

For he still is basking in arrogance

And afraid to ask for direction

I am more akin to him than my mind

So presently

I still am lost

But one day I will listen to her and find my way

I love them both as I love myself

She exists in me

Asymmetrical to the heavens walking in flesh and the sun bearing children inside of tears of joy
The universe emptied its energy into a cosmos and reminded me life is worth living still
Her beauty reproduced in the eyes and whispers of envious limbs that support other women
Trying to be a part of some sort of Divine order in a godless world is where I met her
In the brief moments that divide seconds before they cluster into time infinitum
I was reminded that a human can reach the levels of angels and hang in the clouds effortlessly
As long as the vision is pure and from the soul and leveled with the fear of our mortality
Understanding that time is slow and fast and a man made concept of how to capture moments
So time is not real, sleep is not real, I recognize neither when she and I are intertwined
Apart from her I look at the sun and moon when I wake and gaze at our eyes past reflection
My senses magnified by anticipation of the thought of the scent of the wind passing her skin
The study of the stimulation of the memory of the nerves delivery from the touch of a single lash of her eye
The earth rotates its axis back and forth to move the wind as she bends
Immeasurable is her affect on this planet as her menstruation keeps the sky regular and cleansed
Her past belief in other guys lies reassure the hope of some truth coming in this reality
Where hustlers pass blame to those hustled for not recognizing they were being played
Where the power of love and dedication make trust a five letter word that equals to blindness
I respect her minds decisions as well as her body's reaction to outside influences
So her aborted fetuses resupply the pool for old souls so new life can continue
Her open eyes show the optimism of anything being possible as recuperation from any pain
I have licked her wounds with her and offered my vulnerability to her as a strength by submission
And I am not submissive
I have just learned follow the natural order of my head and listen twice as much as I speak
Her interpretation of my life's past delivery shows me why I have not been fruitful
Mainly because I have not been truthful or faithful to anyone or my self
She radiates and illuminates my dark thoughts until they no longer exist
She is an amalgamation of thoughts and experiences of every woman that has pass before me
Spoke to, hugged, loved or hated me, engaged me and or ignored me
I created these ideas inside of a vacuum of loneliness when it was her that showed me
There has always been a difference between being lonely and being alone
Being alone can give me more time to reflect on myself and just breathe and listen to what the earth is saying
It can also be a reality for me even when I am in a committed relationship because there is no communication
So many couples look so good on paper but inside they are unhappy
She has shown me happiness once again past the gossip of insecure women and effeminate men
The closeness of a good woman is the equivalence of a very great friend that wants whats best for you
She is not a sexual object for your pleasure never to be served and never to be pleased
Every time she serves me I try to serve her right back but better, longer and stronger
I won't fall into the cycle and wait for her to initiate before I participate again
I'll let her know that I have been waiting on her and how important she has been in my life using words not just actions
I've been thinking about her and how I would show her I have missed her since she was last in my presence with words and actions
I want to embrace her in a way physically, mentally and spiritually to show her my incompleteness without her
How I like to kiss her so softly that every groove on her fingerprint is a loving labyrinth
Leading to the rest of her body's bounty and no matter where my face finds itself
My eyes and my attention are deeply imbedded into the sight of her as she lay in my arms thoroughly satisfied that I exist in her
And my behavior when I am in places alone should reflect how much she exists in me...
Constantly connecting through the universe monitoring my actions that she is more important to me than any mistake I would need to apologize for
And I am strong enough to not allow anyone to take away or interrupt the sanctity where we last left and my body has her last touch
So even in my demise the last time that I would rise and fall would be in and for her so she would always retain the last of me
As I would hold my last intimate moments with her for my infinity
In heaven as in the earth - she'd exist in me

Dre

The earth births and shares until its over
Memories make sure that it never is
Dig that...

I still hear your voice
I still see your face
I still understand this pressure we all face

The strength to continue and overcome
I will tap into
Until I see you again...

My friend

D Day 2011

So my man is dead by his own hands
But was it by his own means
Seems to me that this could have been what someone dreamed about
No doubt
Doubt has let me into thinking why
But that is a fools guess
In a corner with his brains splattered he lay
They say from a rifle
After he wrote out his will on paper
With his mother in the next room

So my man killed himself
And plenty believe he is going straight to hell
As if we are not living in it now
As if the devil is not fucking with us daily
God willing

So he took his life
Or changed forms by his own will
I say if you have the will to live
You can have the will to die
You can have the will to die in your free will as a man
And execute your self
Say fuck you to the bill collector
And the rest of the pests
That are left with no answers like me...

So I feel he is free
I don't say he is going to hell
I say he is leaving hell
And vindictive no good humans
That show many faces and are full of shit
He is leaving here and may or may not come back
May or may not haunt the living forever
Wherever he fits he will

He is gone in the physical
But lives forever
Every time I remember him
So parts of him will stay in hell
Oh well

New Lows

Evidentially the standards of decency have been lowered
I have had pictures of genitals sent to me that were not mine
I was told of sexual acts she was going to perform on others
Now she takes a call whispering as if I am to be bothered
Well, I am not
I don't expect much from any person that is trying to buy a person
Of course I prepare any woman to be a freak for the masses
Especially after she has been in my classes
What makes a woman ugly is whats inside of her
No schooling and degrees can give any woman class
Life makes women break things and cuss and text and call out of control
I used to look at old movies we made thinking about the time
Now I try to look for any traces of her face, body or essence
And delete them and cleanse and move on
I change around every room that touched her
I cleanse my children of her memory
Its too early in the morning to do anything but sleep
But tomorrow I will get further from this stain on my existence
I need new business cards and I need to change my cell
Everything here is old
Including thoughts of being civil with monsters
New lows

Unplanned

My confusion sets in with the well wishers rhetoric but lack of support
Am I as big of a fool as it seems
No soul in this body to be bled anymore
What kind of disrespect should be tolerated
Silence myself before my words can be twisted
I'm sick of teaching you new ways to be me

No one has any love for the truth anymore
Only great presentations of falsehood and mockery
Destroying the essence of what it is to be true original and honest

Why do people lie when they can hurt you just as bad with the truth
Sucking my blood and eating off of me requires I stay alive
As you try to take all of the life out of me
As if this won't erupt again
As if my pen and my thoughts should stay complacent
Adjacent to salvation is removal of the source

Rehearse your imitation
Feminine acting men disrespecting the definition
No Nzingah strength
Just devious plagerizim
Get off my dick
Life is gansta and its about to come out
Let's dance because the moves are brutal
And this is futile and non productive
Jack yourself
Whack your self
I'm sick of mediocre showing up trying to be me

I'm sick of people lying to me when the truth is just as bad
Funny when you realize
What you were enjoying
You never had
Not even half
Nothing can change the anger when its comfortable can it
Nothing can make it possible to understand
Laugh now
because it is all unplanned

Oxymoronic Pedagogy

The transfer of words into ideas spread like leprosy
Contaminating my mind and spilling thru my consciousness
Disturbing my silence and desire to not write
My inactivity not as interesting as activity
Simply finding the hole to fill begins electricity
Specifically the charge to not want to remember
To want to seep into other planes of myself
Cracked and beaten by life
Brused but not shaken
Historically, these ideas are too abstract to be formed into words
And everybody has already heard them
Illusions seems friendly now
When the real world lets you down
Crowning kings of false gold
Stories told in whispers by liars
Doing all things simultaneously together with empty hands
And full feelings
In tune to the universe of selflessness
Being birth continually until we return to the inquiry of interest
Less than cosmic but popular
Because no one wants there to be nothing after death
A lonely start
To a lonely ending
One shot at it all
Crushes egos and makes reincarnation interesting
You used to be something else in another life
You are not your self
That newborn baby has been here before
Oxymoronic pedagogy
Hopeless pathology
Silence - sloppy
Here I'll stop me
Still my children love me above everything else
Except themselves
Here is to their health and mentality
Hoping they will always stay free
Above you
And above me
Is God ever lonely
Especially when everyone that talks to God never helps God
They only try to help themselves
Better understand everything around them
That can never be understood
Life is a slow death
A competition we readily wake
Even though everyone that truly wants to stay here forever
Will always loose
There are no vampires except for the lecherous people
They prey on each others weakness
Everlasting life is conversational at most
There are no ghosts
No spirits or gifts
Just mind trips
Thank you for riding with me this time...

People Don't Care

I truly believe now that people don't care
The things we have been brought to think are sacred
Don't mean anything

People are into the moment
There is not critical assessment of social means

People want you to work for free
In the name of friendships
But friends should want to compensate you for your work

If I make it look easy then it is not worth compensation

Morality is out of the window
Roles that are yours like father are undercut by boyfriends
Who gives there child to the ward of another person?
Where do they do that?

People don't care

Care is a lost concern with terms like community and decency

Is there any hope for the future except that they will end like the present and past

Afro Blue - Pick My Brain

Afro Blue - Pick My Brain (Another piece inspired by Hajjimus Prime's track Afro'z)

In I go indigo never ignorant
Indiscriminate anti-indigent ingredient
Militant when muted
Mind unpolluted
So I remember my heart beats
Like a djimbe or Congo
From the horn of Africa
Blown into the rhythmless Americas
On ships i rocked
Made waves
As we paved ways of free men
Forced to be slaves
Escaped and became indian braves

Buffalo soldiers on angel wings
Leaving angel dust
Showing open toed footprints
Walking away from culture
I represent the melanin of many men
Running from the fed and state pen
Where they try to say my kind will be ending
Unless we pretend we don't represent
Where all life begins
At the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro
Follow why they know all of I be related
I be Lucy's blood relative
The Hottenot female with extended rear
That shadowed over her path
Scrutinized by strangers
But Mendel let your secret out
Genes don't get darker
They get lighter
When mixed
They dilute in strength and content
But worse than humanity
It hurts and hits harder
When it affects the mentality
The Black Man Fallacy

My wealth has to be stealth
My health depends on how i resist
And look like I'm conceding
Bleeding you slow until unconscious
I stay conscious
Waiting on my opportunity to strike
In the name of my ancestors
I stay restless
Kum Apem Ah Apem Beba
When you kill millions
Millions more will come
Pamoja Tutashinda
Together we shall win
