God's sons
my son, our son's 
Listen up young one
I'm trying to serve you some get right 
for you to be right

trying to keep you on track
Trying to keep you from slipping back 
into a shadow
holding pens, cell block 
jail house lock up 
trying to keep you off the block

intellectually feed you what it is you need
drink you're thirsty for the knowledge
thirsty for history 
you betta pray you make it thru without a felony 
remember you gets no favas on the inside

dismiss from your frame of street reference 
those rap videos of niggas so bold 
holding their jock straps down 
massaging their crown
forget that shit 
when just yesterday 
the same nigga was sucking house gang dick

you betta . . . figa that nigga son 
those booty bandits working on ripping your virginal asshole
wide open . . . split!
so the shit won't stick 
the whole pen tag you a new bitch

don't get it twisted 
yeah this shit is sadistic

you young brother's 
young son, man child, God's sons, son of ancient African Kings
son of Shaka, Aesop and 
son of abu, Ahmed, baba, Bilal, Elijah,

I'm tired of seeing God's sons held captive
we got to get proactive 
in a place where taggiing
fishing and bumping tits is the name of the game

and you're gonna to be down 
or be dead 
I'm trying to keep you from the box
a constant embryo position
goon squad demand complete submission

those ain't your daddies
listen up sons 
I'm trying to save you from buckets, the tombs, bullets
Police Brutality and prison warfare
Riker rope when there is no hope 
the criminal swag, pant sag 
hacks green light for new jacks
serial killers and psychopaths

listen up son . . . you do the math 
this is a billion dollar profit 
God's sons inside the super max

held captive labeled you a "Felon"
for the rest of your natural born life

listen up son I'm trying to gift you truth!

For my Son ... Our sons.

A moment of silence...

Photo

As-Salāmu `Alaykum ... A moment of silence for painful times such as any mothers lost if child . Incomprehensible but yet I felt this pain but not by such execution and determined brutality towards our young black men in communities under siege by drugs, alcoholism , poverty, mental illness, single parent household ,dysfunctional educational system set up to Mis-education of our children thus people this is where the village comes to play to infiltrate the minds of our black children with our history from the very beginning ...black mothers womb yes educating our fetus with Dr. Clarke,Dr. Welsing and gift them a copy to study The Mis-Education of The Negro by Carter G.Woodson. And continue to disseminate information and programs in our community to uplift our youth as stated by the beautiful young brother (Kimani Gray's relative) on wbls open line this morning. Yes brother you righteously slammed the accurate insight and knowledge on the air this morning "match set" directly to point. Ok I know there's a serious problem in our community and we must mend it NOW! The young brother is right where are the real mother fucking soldier's in the hood ready to handle and implement our own programs for the youth . I know brother Barron and Al Sharpton is committed to doing the damn job and yes standing front center with the rest of the black community . Brooklyn is brick and full of beautiful souls willing to fight intellectually and stand on the battlefield for justice. Reflecting on my own soon to be 16 year old I pray every single day when leaves my house he return safely having walked out into the world knowing one hundred you're being profiled because he is a black young man in America with added elements of peer pressure and just the obvious angst of being a youthful teen known fact rebellious by nature . The stop and frisk has to STOP! I'm not saying they're all angels none of us are. The best gift to a black boy is knowledge and our love . I have to admit I have his father to thank for being there and a whole community around him to  reverberate negativity he is bombarded with each day from the reality of racism yes that is a fact! Each day I'm bless and thankful to hear "good morning mom."  Ring bell for Bell, Kimani,Diallo,Grant,Graham,Martin... And countless others who have been murdered. Let the awakening begin family inshallah ...Peace , love and unity.

Transition is apparent ...being true thyself ...

Photo

As-Salāmu `Alaykum ...tonight transition and peace loving your soul and the ones you with! Waiting for Russia and a reunion with my cousin soviet poet Jim Patterson . Researching and working to bridge & piece ultimately coagulate two artist united thru blood and a cardinal edifying history to unfold exposing a lineage of undisputed truth and genius from Russia with love... Russia and Africa united once again after years apart but a desire for these two myself and Jim to tell the story letting the world witness a signature script in the skies ... Infinite and significant... Peace the transition is apparent . Define, sketch your life for no else but you. No one can do it like YOU! Love is  all we need inshallah
