Never pushing....purely learning how to at all times remain standing in the flow.. (I learned that from a phenomenal woman who I wished I'd had more time with).. Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, you will be greatly missed.

Enough for now....

Be at Peace with Self!

My space b WILD
with sirens and symphonys
blaring tymphonys raging at 500 miles a minute---
thought I had my dose today,BUT I didnt--
SO
Colored Contradictions lay as unconnected thought patterns on my consciousness...
And I am DROWNING, trying to come up for air
BUT I am WATER
Not yet comfortable with this manifestation of fluidness.....
Colored Contradictions as I feel my brain squeezing
and to improve my THIRD EYE/HAND coordination
I get high to elavated thought to rise above the squeeze of the day to day to day
Colored contradictions that bring me to my knees.
Like a haunting melody cast down as
Nina Simone's Pirate Jenny piece,
I stance to release these colored contradictions with hints of conspiracy.
Easy, cause what I say may offend even ME.
Colored Contradictions as the old Griot's tale of "how long, how well, we got into this
predicament, it seems as though its some real shit were in"
And that Colored Contradiction like you forgetting you still a profittable commodity of America..................... and they still scard of us.
Colored Contradictions lay like the same ones that lynched and maimed your folks
changed the votes
in Florida, but you can't cope cause now you so brainwashed
you don't even like you!
Colored Contradictions like Badu's fake natural DO, you see
why sometimes I feel like I need to flee to be free like Assata
cause I aint gotta enough strength for what they bout to do ( but I do)
Colored Contradictions like issuing a stamp commemorating Islam but bombing through Ramadan....
Colored COntradictions like we still got over 3,000 lives missing and its got me wishing
that after THAT we'll stop lying cause ours was of an unholy mission.
Colored Contradictions like the WELFARE system....
Colored Contradictions, your masters done gone amuck
and now fucked with some more of a different hue
WORLD DOMINATION now, but his first guinea pig was YOU.
COLORED CONTRADICTIONS may I be a threat too, cause I don't dawn the red, white and blue
or may I rock my headwrap a little too freely....
Colored Contraditions got you chasing mirages set as Jay-Z and the Quick Pick Lottery
Don't get mad at me..
COLORED CONTRADICTIONS, ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS, PRIMAL things are starting friction in my soul....
and I can't breathe, and my brain is starting to squeeze,
I feel as though I NEED AIR, BUT I AM WATER.
COLORED CONTRADICTIONS
from this contradicted daughter
some shit I thought you outta
know.....

I S.C.R.E.A.M. from tenement rooftops, prison cellblocks, cross country bus-stops-
(cause the planes cost too much)
I S.C.R.E.A.M. from corner, dollar and liqour stores that breed pimps and whores.
I S.C.R.E.A.M. from overcrowded subways, MISsed school Days, MISunderstanding the birth of a child as I lay on my back and SCCCRRREEAAMMM!!!
from the revolutionary renaissance reviving the conscious soulclap mindstream.
I S.C.R.E.A.M. from the unemployment line to acts of desperation leading to state time
I S.C.R.E.A.M. from that 9 to 5, to stay alive to compromising values just to eat and avoid a death from genocidal homicide.
I S.C.R.E.A.M. from high tech lynchings, marginalized conditionings of living situations now irrepressible.
I S.C.R.E.A.M.for the kids who don't eat fruit and vegetables cause at the stores in the hood the things in the boxes look more edible.
I S.C.R.E.A.M. from the bullet holes in bus stop windows to
two-year olds that know more about po-pos while
eating ho-hos as an early morning treat
being out in the street
way before they time....
I S.C.R.E.A.M. from that not so invisible color line
that divides to conquer those
negroes and latinos sublime
to the power within their skin
I S.C.R.E.A.M. from the sidelines of the paper chase to
save face of those who
got confused and misused the tactics meant to slow down their pace
but instead the NICKEL and DIME they happiness
I S.C.R.E.A.M. as I slay those demons with blessings of RIGHTEOUSNESS
I S.C.R.E.A.M. grabbing the reigns of my destiny
high pitched SCREAMS of DIVINE FREQUENCY
I S.C.R.E.A.M. until I hurt
until there is no sound
no air
until it is once again
a whisper in your ear

I
Save
Children
Revive
Eyes
Awaken
Minds

I Save Children, Revive Eyes, and Awaken Minds

So long long since I've ceased to speak...
held the tongue, burn fyah the bush of dis-belief
i smile while in others I sense the heat,
the imaginations of what they want to be
but you can't walk tall on shakey ground
you can't hide what in the open is found
lie with the enemy cause your faith is confused and bound
by not understanding what you read
you fail to heed
the direction of spiritual law, point out in others your own
metaphysical flaws
like it was meant to be the way it is now
and you can't pray no more
you can't talk to GOD but love American IDOL
you can't see your soul but wanna be America's
next Top Model..
and cause I can't compromise truth
lying at the root, I water and acknowledge
while some are dying at the root......


only those who choose to see will see
It's coming.....
