Of Trains and Girls...
…sat in the train, bluish green seats, 16 windows, its dark outside so all I see are the reflections, there’s a girl; we are holding eyes subtlety, she loses interest when I’m on phone, here’s where you come in.. That should be you, in ur green sundress, with the boat shoes and the hair tied up.. U’d hold my eye but u’d be dismissive, I know that look- I’d...

“And many others, men and women, suffering from the evil of love, were delivered...”
– Artemesia Carla 1
Poem by Dissi Obanda that was to be read at the...
I believe,
In a country without bounds
A love without social boundaries
I believe in you
I believe in a People
That cannot be oppressed
A population that won’t rest
Until it finds its place at the crest
I believe in Kenya.
I have come to believe
In our waters, our hills, our valleys
And I know that if our dreams
Are anywhere near as fertile as our soils
Then the world...

Decadence. Dirt: This is how I feel, betrayed.No... →
ndinda:
This is how I feel, betrayed.
No one owes me anything, each one of us had a right to decide whatever it is that they decided. But I feel betrayed by my own country. I wasn’t expecting the candidate I voted for to win, but where we have found ourselves is affecting me in a way I didn’t expect.

Alice's Hole
I’m in bed, both hands on the blackberry, headphones on as I listen to Miguel’s song Adorn…so smooth, I could do with a cigarette, and maybe a long legged girl on the end of the bed-she would be in tiny shorts and a vest, cigarette between her lips, and a can of some beer…doing the crossword..some good music playing…it would be a ‘Prince’ purple rain wet...

2Pac: And since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman and our game from a woman, I wonder why we take from our women. Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women, time to heal our women, be real to our women. And if we don't we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies that make the babies. And since a man can't make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one.
Jay-Z: Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porsches, MTV stopped by to film our fortresses. We forget the unfortunate. Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time. So in reality I didn't give a dime, or a damn. I just put my monies in the hands of the same people that left my people stranded. Nothin' but a bandit, left them folks abandoned. Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid, can't say we better off than we was before.
Kanye West: Is it genocide? 'Cause I can still hear his momma cry, know the family traumatized. Shots left holes in his face, 'bout piranha-size. The old pastor closed the cold casket, and said the church ain’t got enough room for all the tombs. It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from, I feel the pain in my city wherever I go. 314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in Chicago.
Mos Def: When the average minimum wage is $5.15, you best believe you gotta find a new grind to get cream. The white unemployment rate, is nearly more than triple for black so frontliners got they gun in your back. Bubblin crack, jewel theft and robbery to combat poverty and end up in the global jail economy. Stiffer stipulations attached to each sentence. Budget cutbacks but increased police presence. And even if you get out of prison still livin join the other five million under state supervision. This is business, no faces just lines and statistics from your phone, your zip code, to S-S-I digits. The system break man child and women into figures. Two columns for who is, and who ain't niggaz. Numbers is hardly real and they never have feelings but you push too hard, even numbers got limits. Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret: the million other straws underneath it - it's all mathematics
Lupe Fiasco: I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit. Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets. How much money does it take to really make a full clip. 9/11 building 7 did they really pull it. And a bunch of other cover ups. Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts. If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut. The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up. Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the uppercrust. You get it then they move you so you never keeping up enough. If you turn on TV all you see’s a bunch of “what the fucks”. Dude is dating so and so blabbering bout such and such. And that aint Jersey Shore, homie thats the news. And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth. Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist. Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit. Thats why I aint vote for him, next one either. I’ma part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful. And I believe in the people.
Eminem: I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check, Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt. Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged full of venom and rage, And my daughter's down to her last diaper. I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer.These overnight stars becoming autograph signers.We all long to blow up and leave the past behind us. Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us Money will brainwash you and leave your ass mindless. My life is full of empty promises and broken dreams. I'm hoping things will look up, But there ain't no job openings.I feel discouraged hungry and malnourished. Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished...And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay.And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day. But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play. Cause when we die we know were all going the same way. Walk around depressed and smoke a pound of ses a day and yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today. My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play. Live half my life and throw the rest away
then they're lil wayne and his crew who make it look bad:
lil wayne: i like my house big and my grass soft pussy pussy pussy
nicki minaj: you a stupid hoe, you a stupid hoe
tyga: got yo grandma on my dick, 10 10 10 20's
