a bLack mAn tHing

story behind this, in a meeting i was informed that i have a 'Black Man 'Thing'' when i asked her to clarify what this 'Black Man Thing' is she struggled making vague references to Black Men in her life. Every interaction is a writing opportunity...

what exactly is 
a Black Man Thing
is it any different from a
white, asian, latino man thing
any different from a Black Woman Thing
please clarify what this Black Man Thing is
a chip on my shoulder
walk with a certain swagger
talk with a certain linga
touch fists dont shake hands
oh i see its the nuances
the isms
my professionalism called into question
oh i get it i dont show enough teeth
acceptable nigger syndrome
if i was a white chick presenting the same shit
what would you call it
im so pissed
no not defensive
enraged with rage blazing
hotter than the sun in me
about to combust internally
oh...i see thats that Black Man Thing....

systematic misinstruction

the travesty of educational philosophy
when kids are valued monetary
4g you tell me 
is each students worth
putting a price on kids heads
is that what schools about?
struggle empathically with
such a materialistic philosophy
from the core flawed fundamentally
detrimentally
then we raise kids who aren't
independent free thinkers or even think at all
dependent servants
public schools feed the machine
creates new age slaves
not taught to think
but to remember
whats the true role of an educator
to make kids intelligent regurgitators
higher education now becomes a class act
cos the proletariats cant access that

resolutions

no resolutions
resolutions are not solutions
made in haste then broken
aint setting no targets
none of that 
new year new me ish
no positive affirmations
i will however have great expectations
no promises unrealistic
keep things basic
read more watch less
listen more talk less

what is without hindrance or restraint

a state of mind
or a state of being
on the outside imprisoned
found in gym prayer meditation
is it obtained earned gained
are all these answers or questions?!

manic creative

requeim for a dream
let it freefall like freeflow
sometimes quick sometimes slow
words glow
illuminate pathways
unblock ya earways
get maximum earplay
other brers get aired
wait...
they're too slovenly
angelic bars
devilishly heavenly
paradoxical theory of change
makes a godly devil
a paradox in terms
an oxymoron
study my craft like a sage
so i speak with wisdom of ages
wisdom's contagious
when released from pages
enlightened ignoramus
so my bars remain blameless

words provoke thought
evoke emotions
intoxicating potion
ink on paper
words on a monitor
mesmerises minds
a wordsmith
catch my wordplay
speak in pretext
touch ya prefrontal cortex
bars are cerebral
write my ponderings
have peeps feenin
catching feelings
writings so revealing
yet so concealing
so cathartic
burns through shit
poetic acid

just a thought phlogging once again

in a coffee shop and this came to mind so here it is

we rush through youth
wishing to be older
only to get there and
wish to be younger.....

happens...

family seen regularly
now unseen irregularly
life happens...

education starts education ends
educational "friends" never seen again
life happens...

work starts new acquaintances become new friends
new network a few trends
life happens...

see colleagues more than family now who's real family
trust abused politics lies truth feuds
life happens...

marriage husband/wifehood children parenthood
priorities vary, situations rearrange immense change
life happens...

children grow parents get old we age
generations pass real slow real fast take one last look as we past
life happens...
