i wanna be the type of poet that says things that will make you so upset that you'll change

i wanna be the type of poet that says words like love and beauty therefore making you feel love and feel beautiful

i wanna be one of those poets that you've never heard before on a cool night or a hot day

basically i wanna be a poet.

the poet that makes you realize that until we can look at one another in awe things won't change

realize that until we're unconsciously throwing up the black fist we will continue to be treated like a race of people that don't value our history

realize that you are loved

realize that you are black bold & beautiful

realize you can be anything your mind allows

realize you are God's child

realize devils don't have anything for you but a dollar for your dance

realize that we have to love our men out of their funk

realize we've got to give our kids some futures or stop having them

realize the reality of choices

realize a cellphone don't make you a legit business figure

realize this is not life

it is mere meager civilization we live

realize this is not the way

and no matter how many times you pray on your knees about it the truth has to blind you and your circumstances to change

one cannot go on thinking so blindly of a way out of this mess we are in

we have to believe in each other when no one else does or no one ever will

we've got to feel for each other

or what else do we have???
i want to be the poet that brings black back
