words
before i even spoke
you looked and took me as a joke
false pretense by my simple appearance
... i mean you even critqued the way that i walked
but quickly stopped the moment i started to talk
because of that you cut your eyes at me
but quickly stopped as i started to talk
feeling awkward now
because you created an assumption about my personality
rather than allowing me to introduce you to the mentality
that i truly carry
and who can we blame but society
when we rather judge a book by its cover than to hear the message inside
now a days everyone belives that actions speaks louder than words
but if you read books you know that actions are verbs
and who cares about them being heard?
when i speak i do it with such a force and intensity
not blaming anyone who hears me, to fear me
because i creep on on you like a lion in the jungle
and attack....
not with my claws but with my roar
the message that i speak
triggers the minds so deep
leaving everyone in critical condition
but i just pick up my paper and pen and move on to my next mission
because you see
words......
are the deadliest weapons that can exist
the only tool that can prepare someone for a world like this
but im talking about the words used by Malcolm X when he wrote "Message to the Grassroots"
or what about the words that had us saying all hail to Martin Luther King Jr when he wrote "Letters from a Birmingham jail"
and what about maya angelou, nikki giovanni, langston hughes, amanda diva, shihan and Black Ice
ohhh you thought it was just their race that made them that nice?
I mean yes the struggle motivates the hunger
but its the WORDs, the message ,the passion when they speak
that seperates them from all the other minds that have been corrupted andleft weak
alot of people say that they use their words for Free-dom
but quieckly give aways that free-dom. for star-dom
and wonder why their mentally ensalved
damn .. the things a person would give away to have a piece of the fame
but me --i use my words no i cherish my words
because words and i are one
see I
AM
POETRY
AND WITH AND ONLY WORDS HAVE I EVER FOUND MYSELF TO TRULY BE FREE.
