In my opinion one of the greatest inventions there ever was. Yet Man has never discovered it's true potential. It has become for the most part entertainment for the boobs.

The Dork
I'd say my moment of greatest glory
was when the hottest girl in 9th grade
had her friend come up to me
and say she liked me
that was the year
I warmed the bench
for the basketball team
and programmed my TI-82 calculator
to do my homework
but she never really followed up
not because she's stuck up
she just discovered what a dork I am

Part Of Life, That is
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
Stuck with sticking emotions felt in my gut...
Unable to abandon them.
Or give them up...
Had been a place I'd been,
Back then.
With no one but myself...
And faith,
To help me slowly break away...
Of a hold I had on them to mend.
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
I have learned to feel grief deeply,
Where it is felt.
Let it visit.
And then from it to leave!
Not to forget the process...
But to breathe!
Remembering...
With an agony upon my letting go,
Knowing what I felt was painful...
It was also,
Part of life!
A part of life,
That is!
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.

Theme for English B
The instructor said,
Go home and write
a page tonight.
And let that page come out of you--
Then, it will be true.
I wonder if it's that simple?
I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem.
I went to school there, then Durham, then here
to this college on the hill above Harlem.
I am the only colored student in my class.
The steps from the hill lead down into Harlem,
through a park, then I cross St. Nicholas,
Eighth Avenue, Seventh, and I come to the Y,
the Harlem Branch Y, where I take the elevator
up to my room, sit down, and write this page:
It's not easy to know what is true for you or me
at twenty-two, my age. But I guess I'm what
I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you:
hear you, hear me--we two--you, me, talk on this page.
(I hear New York, too.) Me--who?
Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.
I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
I like a pipe for a Christmas present,
or records--Bessie, bop, or Bach.
I guess being colored doesn't make me not like
the same things other folks like who are other races.
So will my page be colored that I write?
Being me, it will not be white.
But it will be
a part of you, instructor.
You are white--
yet a part of me, as I am a part of you.
That's American.
Sometimes perhaps you don't want to be a part of me.
Nor do I often want to be a part of you.
But we are, that's true!
As I learn from you,
I guess you learn from me--
although you're older--and white--
and somewhat more free.
This is my page for English B.

Entertainment
Theres been another assassination
T.v. cameras moving in.
To shoot the bloodstains on the pavement
And get them on the news at ten.
Will he live or will he die, before we go on the air?
Yes, the networks are all there, in the name of
Entertainment.
Superstar psycho, from a killer to a hero,
An overnight sensation on the lips of all the nation
Is he mad or is he sane? it makes for good conversation
I call it suffering and pain, but they call it entertainment
Sex violence murder and rape. (entertainment entertainment)
Thats what you came for, thats what you pay for.
Entertainment, entertainment.
They call it entertainment
Inform us, educate us with your media machine
(call it entertainment)
Tell me what to dream
(call it entertainment)
You pay your money, what do you get?
Entertainment.
Real life for entertainment,
Cheapens my reality,
So that hollywood can make it into another b movie
The vultures get the rating and the people get the thrills
But the victims always pay, I guess they always will.
Sex violence murder and rape (entertainment entertainment)
Thats what you want, thats what they need,
Thats what you came for, thats what your paying for.
They call it entertainment (call it entertainment)
Inform us, educate us with your media machine,
(call it entertainment)
Tell me what to dream
(call it entertainment)
You pay your money, what do you get?
Entertainment, entertainment.

Crazy Love, Vol. Ii
Fat charlie the archangel
Slped into the room
He said i have no opinion about this
And i have no opinion about that
Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon
He said well i don't claim to be happy about this, boys
And i don't seem to be happy about that
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
She says she knows about jokes
This time the joke is on me
Well, i have no opinion about that
And i have no opinion about me
Somebody could walk into this room
And say your life is on fire
It's all over the evening news
All about the fire in your life
On the evening news
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
Fat charlie the archangel
Files for divorce
He says well this will eat up a year of my life
And then there's all that weight to be lost
She says the joke is on me
I say the joke is on her
I said i have no opinion about that
Well, we'll just have to wait and confer
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love

Mental
Its like Im dressed up in my mothers clothing
Its like Im talking to a voice that doesnt exist
Its like I got a wire crossed upstairs
But all I want is just a little truth and thats it
They say Im mental but Im just confused
Thay say Im mental but Ive been abused
They say Im mental cause Im not amused my it all
Another anchor man is on the t.v.
Hes got that far away and vacant look in his eyes
I turn the channel but nothings changing
The only truth is that everythings a lie
They say Im mental but Im just confused
Thay say Im mental but Ive been abused
They say Im mental cause Im not amused my it all
Theres truth in everything
Theres truth in lies
With all this knowledge
I think Im gonna be wise
They say Im mental but Im just confused
Thay say Im mental but Ive been abused
They say Im mental cause Im not amused my it all
Not at all

Reform
A selection from trash,
Will not rescue them.
No matter how it is dressed...
To impress.
Or repress with depression
One of colored skin.
Or programmed to be dim of wit.
To disadvantaged all of them.
With beliefs
They are doomed to a life of grief!
A disruption of this thought process,
Is achieved to expose a digression...
Of a failed conquest.
A falsified reality,
Leaves all powerless at best!
But no one knows a cure of 'bliss'...
Comes to reform such 'freedoms'
Never born!
And deceptions of all kinds,
Will be redressed to inform.
Abandoning those wicked,
In their own mental storm.

I'll Be Your Everything
You can call me when you want me, if you need a friend you got me
I'll be your everything, fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic, just call out go go gadget
I'll be your everything,
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
I knew the moment that we met
I had to be a part of you, someone you won't forget
So don't say i'm like the other few
No matter what is going down, you'll find me next to you
Girl, i'll be your superman, i'll do what no one can
You'll find that i'm the everything that you need
Deep down inside of you
No matter what you do
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
You can call me when you want me, if you need a friend you got me
I'll be your everything, fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic, just call out go go gadget
I'll be your everything,
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
No sweat, when the claw is on his way,
Don't worry 'bout him catching you, don't even be afraid
Some how some way, i'll find out what's the deal
And i'll be there to rescue you, you'll see that i'm for real
Girl, i'll be your superman, i'll do what no one can
You'll find that i'm the everything that you need
Deep down inside of you
No matter what you do
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
You can call me when you want me, if you need a friend you got me i'll be your everything, fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic, just call out go go gadget

Crazed Are Some Programmed Mindsets
Giving of myself, talents and time,
Use to be an easy thing for me to do.
I didn't mind it.
I found in doing so it was enjoyed.
Until I discovered my efforts being taken for granted.
And I stopped feeling grateful to give my stuff away.
'Assuming' what I had done was appreciated.
Crazed are some programmed mindsets.
I then began to notice people,
Believing to be doing me the favor...
To share in the wasting of my time!
Thinking of me to be perceive as selfish.
And 'if' I had not given my best,
They wouldn't have known me at all.
Crazed are some programmed mindsets.
Today as I come to think about this,
I give them less of my best.
And of me it is thought I seek their attention.
That's how people into themselves think.
Until they are shown,
Doors that have been permanently closed.
And ignored are those with turned up noses.
Crazed are some programmed mindsets.
And their lack of consciousness!

Try A Cry
Crying is an emotional outburst
Of a discomforting situation
Accompanied by shedding tears
And sobbing, which may last longer
Maturity demands that we check our cry
As it showcases our weakness
Factually speaking crying can strengthen you
Since you expose your emotions the best way
While crying
Crying out has a potential to dilute
The emotional impact on you
Yes, you are well advised to cry
To handle a perceived problem better
Children cry
These cries are instantaneous and
Immediate in response to most often
A physical discomfort
As we advance in age, we manage well
To stop or abstain from crying
Girls and women cry out more readily
Than boys and men
Examine yourself as to when
You cried last time
It is a demonstration of perception of
Utter helplessness
You may guise in laughter, anger
But the real you can be seen in your cry
Cries draw more attention than
Expressions of other emotions
Cries may make others understand better
Cries have the potential to bring out
A notable mental balance
Cries may accompany ecstasy among some
Triggered by an overwhelming accomplishment
Know that you cry not because you are weak
But because you want to strengthen yourself
Fail not to cry
If you feel the situation demands
Fear not to cry as it may shield you against threat
I wish you do not come across
A tough and demanding situation demanding a cry
In the same breath I want you to note that
Nothing is more soothing than a cry
Try a cry
Next time if you need to cry

Ode to have big titties
Ode to have big titties
Instead of these itty, itty, bitties
I would be able to retire, from CEO of the committee
And no more rubber bands, would I have to wear
And when the toilet paper fell out, no one would stare
The men wouldn't run, when the lights came on
They'd know I was a girl and not a lil boy went wrong
Ya see all my problems, they would be solved
For myself, my boyfriend, and all other parties involved
Ode to have big titties
I wouldn't have to try so hard to be witty
I can make demands and act all bitchy
I would be the center of the dance floor
And I could dropp it like it was hot
Oh if I only had more, than what I currently got
HOOTERS here I come, why I could interview just for fun
Or how about Playboy I would be the best one
Perhaps Mrs.December all dressed up in a christmas suit
I would pose chest poked out, in my thigh high boots
If I could just win this contest, I would be so cute
Ode to have big titties
I would be so freakin pretty
I would say good bye to my wonder/water bra's
Having no boobs, why it should be against the law
As I surely would be under a felony arrest
For failure to have possession of any kind of chest
I would have to do time, for life with no breast
Although I would fight, I would certainly protest
That I should have won the holiday hooter contest
Ode to have tig ol bitties
They’d be so big they’d name them after a city
Come one, Come all, to the beautiful city of booberville
The worlds largest breast of mountains and hills
If I ever starred in a movie, It would be titled Boobs gone bad
It’s a comedy/drama that make you laugh and than sad
Or how about Please don’t cry for the boobs I never had
Ode to have a areola, I think I seen it once in a book
Although I cannot seem to find mine, I surely have looked
So Silicone, saliene, or anything you can spare
Cause ya see when I got made, it just wasn’t fair
There wasn’t enough boobs in heaven left for me
And I could not afford them unless their for free
So ya see Mjm, I really need to win this now
So I can walk around and all the boys would say wow
So I am not a foreign girl that wants boobs like a movie star
And I wasn’t hit on by a tax collector at the jackson’s bar
But this is it, this is all I got
So just give me a chance, at least I gave it my best shot

I Hate Censorship
The orgy of entertainment
Politicians grabbing at each others tail coats
Pulling at each others sleeves
To the pauper in the street its a fight for change
A fight for what's right A fight for a more human face
In reality they pulling off the suits breaking open the pants grabbing at the dresses
Enjoying the orgy of entertainment
Only its not each other that is the prize
Its the taxi driver and the school goer the till operator and the farm worker
They are the orgy of entertainment
Day in day out the fearless battle starts and ends, talking rebuke scolding complaining its like orgiastic moans from the bedroom
Not its like
It is
It is the cavorting of a hierarchy that enjoys the spoils while they [censored] society day in and day out.

Ch 01 Manner of Kings Story 31
The veziers of Nushirvan happened to discuss an important affair of state, each giving his opinion according to his knowledge. The king likewise gave his opinion and Barzachumihr concurred with it. Afterwards the veziers secretly asked him: "What superiority hast thou discovered in the opinion of the king above so many other reflections of wise men?" The philosopher replied: "Since the termination of the affair is unknown and it depends upon the will of God whether the opinion of the others will turn out right or wrong, it was better to agree with the opinion of the king so that, if it should turn out to have been wrong, we may, on account of having followed it, remain free from blame."
To proffer an opinion contrary to the king’s
Means to wash the hands in one’s own blood.
Should he in plain day say it is night,
It is meet to shout: "Lo, the moon and the pleiads!"
