War By Bob Marley

What life has taught me
I would like to share withThose
who want to learn...
Until
the philosophy
which hold one race Superior
and another
inferior
Is finally
and permanently
discredited
and abandoned
EVERYWHERE IS WAR,
me say war
That until there are no longer first class And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights are equallyGuaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusionTo be persued,
but never attained
NOW EVERYWHERE IS WAR,
war
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimesthat hold our brothers in Angola,
in Mozambique,
South Africa
sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
utterly destroyed
WELL EVERYWHERE IS WAR,
me say war
War in the east,
war in the west
War up north,
war down south
War, war,
rumours of war
And until that day,
the African continent
Will not know peace,
we Africans will fight We find it necessary
and we know we shall win
As we are confident
in the victory
Of good over evil,
good over evil,
good over evil
Good over evil,
good over evil,
good over evil

This will lead 2 u being a perfect reflection of GOD.

Thugs in Starbucks

I walked into the Starbucks on the westside of downtown I ordered my regular short in a tall cup of coffee. No frills. A regular cup of coffee at Starbucks is about the same as at Dunkin Donuts. When u start gettin these Frappucino's and tuxedo's thats what hits u in the pockets. I turn to go to the coffee station and i couldn't believe it. I found myself in a stare contest with another brother from the same mother, u no whatahmsayin, in the middle of starbucks. I laughed and went on to hook up my coffee. I looked up, when I was leaving and there were those eyes again. Those ahm the tuffest nigga 2 ever set foot in starbucks eyes. Dude jus drink your carmel macchiato. When did coffee turn into courage juice. So I have decided to set rules for u so called thugs. U know do's and do nots. I am gonna stick with do nots. me and wifey had this conversation a couple months ago. I will call it Thugs in. Thugs doin something thats not thug. Thugs in Starbucks!?! Come on. Thats like thugs with big sunglasses on. I c that a lot now of days. or Thugs rollin in Mini Coopers. Tryin 2 mean mug somebody. What!?! This is the soundoff board for that. Come on now. U know u c thugs doin strange things nowadays. Let it b known. Far b it for me 2 hold a thug down or limit his actual potential of becoming the god he was created to be but if u wanna step out of that step all the way out. Its a process though. Its still funny though. The next time u c a so callled thug doin something thats not thug. post it here. O ah forgot. Thugs that where pink. Stop.

Talkin 4 ur health

Y do people ask 4 advice when all they really want is for people 2 validate what they are already thinking. Has anyone ever asked you for advice and then when u r talking 2 them it seems like u all r having 2 different conversations. U say something and then it seems like they r sayin exactly the opposite. Its because u r not telling them what they want 2 hear.

When I ask u for your advice. I really just want u 2 validate what I was thinking in the first place. If you tell me something other then what I was thinking in the first place. I am just going to go 2 someone else until i feel validated. So y then do u continue 2 try 2 give me advice.

Why?




I have published this post simply because a friend of mine asks y i don't blog more often. I told her I only write when I feel like I have been blessed with enlightnment. This is the best I could come up with right now though. Not neccessarily being blessed with enlightenment on this post but feeling the pressure to post something. The question y is not directed towards publishing posts, or my friend it can be directed towards whatever. It could be anything from Y do we exist to Y is water wet. whatever u say, I say Y.

Here is what the Merovingian from the movie The Matrix Reloaded has to say on Y. One of my favorite parts of any movie, "the why and the reason are gone, and all that matters is the feeling itself. This is the nature of the universe. We struggle against it, we fight to deny it, but it is of course pretense, it is a lie. Beneath our poised appearance, the truth is we are completely out of control. Causality. There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the "why". "Why" is what separates us from them, you from me. `Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless. And this is how you come to me, without `why,' without power. Another link in the chain."

So now I ask u.

Why

On Fathers Day

I love my black woman. Maybe I should say black women. But one thing bothered me as i listened 2 the radio. I will take this moment 2 say I hate the radio and would most of the time rather listen 2 talk radio than anything else. with the exception of sunday morning slow jams on power92. ANYWAY, a lot of talk about dead beat dads which ahm not suprised cuz u no the destruction of the blackman and all but what got me wuz these brunches were for fathers and something like mothers who were fathers. STOP. No mother is a father jus like no father is a mother. When a childs other parent is not around yes u might have 2 do some things that a father might normally do but guess what thats what being a mother is or vice versa. Thats what being a parent is. U don't hear men talkin about happy mothers day 2 me 2 cuz my childrens mother passed away or is a deadbeat mom. Yep yall exist or is jus triflin. Hey thats yall day. Actually everyday is mothers day. That day in may is just a hallmark holiday. Stop it. If u r a woman u r not a father. U r a mother. Under your job description should b 1 word everything. And if us as fathers don't have our childrens mother around that doesn't make us a mother. That doesn't even sound right. Stop tryin 2 get extra points. Ya feel me.
