reality
You don't believe in my hips
you can't handle the honey from my lips
You don't understand my beauty and wealth
you can't see the richness of my words
you are ashamed to love me
You want to identify
but your friends will not let you
well i have no time for cowards
I deserve an original thinker
a firebrand
a hustler
a lover and a friend
not a coward

Ok. so, it is early. I don't believe this is happening. My friends are going to be wondering why this man is in love with me. And there he was with his entire body streched until he reached the top of the doorway.
He wore.his small black Polo briefs that drove me insane. I was in love with him. I didn't see this going any further. But i am in love with the man.

Shamen and Elephant Mother pt1.
Nsansi's hunger grew to pain. Here was the rest of her tribe. They were dead and dying of hunger and dehydration. This was the land that used to be the place where Nsansi and her husband grew together as children. Now it seemed that Liza had turned his back on them. He had scorched the land and forced them to travel to places out of their home. It was believed that Liza was angry with Judaf, the village chief and Shaman, for boasting that he was far more powerful than Liza. At first, Liza started with the vegetation. He dried out every thing to eat. Killing anything that could grow. Then, he scorched the land from ever baring any kind of vegetation ever again. and to this day the land is still unbearable and unlivable. It was Judaf's son who died first, then every child and mother. The fathers of the village were the last to die. Before they did, tied Judaf to a stake and after stoning him; burned him alive. The only two left was Nsansi and her husband, Baru meaning Big lizard. Nsansi has always been strong. She was blessed to have never been sick. Nsansi was beautiful and had chosen for her husband, the biggest most gentle man in the tribe. As the rest of the tribe died out for the sins of the Village Chief, they burned everybody until it was only them.
Nsansi and Baru had began to journey out of their paradise into the dry lands killed by Liza. It seemed Liza had shown how far and wide Judaf's ego had killed. Nsansi began to suspect that Liza would kill every man and child and now was torturing them with their survival. But she would never say that aloud and began to ask Liza for forgiveness of her small and simple mind. At that moment, A large elephant approached Nsansi and her husband. the elephant, massive in size, leaned down to them inviting them to ride. Nsansi took this as a sign from Liza that she was forgiven. She felt the presence and received the message. I am here carry you into a new land. Nsansi, with all of her bravery let the elephant's trunk lift her to it's back. Baru followed.

He stood outside. Face stubbleled, hair a mess. He looked a little desperate.
I did miss him. I missed him so much. But he did not take up for me when I needed him most.
I took my time strolling over to him. I didn't look him in the eye. Not until I was close. His face was a bit sad. He was a bit hurt. And I could not hurt him the way he hurt me. Damn his good looks.
'Hey.' He pulled his hands out of his beigh trench coat. I could see the plain white t-shirt underneath. It was appropriate with the blue jeans and penny loafers. I didn't know if he wanted to reach for me. Not that I would reach but I wanted to with all of my might.
'Hey', he said. Awkward.
'Milli listen', I stopped him in mid sentence. I didn't need him to say the obvious. I just wanted him to kiss me.
I grabbed the flaps of the trech coat and pulled him closer. 'I forgive you.'

Break it down: What is pop music today?
I'll start off this way? Pop music is popular because it's instinctual. People know what they like and that's why it becomes popular. Is music in the ear of the beholder?
There is a formula now used in the music industry to take old popular music, recycle it, and make it your own. I know what you are thinking, hip hot does this. But there was always the acknowledgement and homage to the original creator. Not this new formula.
The new formula is to now steal the melody as if you created and change the music.
For example, Lady gaga used Madonna's Holiday to create Her song,'born this way. while it's a completely different words the formula is there. We'll call it the Madonna formula. Lady Gaga used the Madonna formula in most of her music and her performance presentation. while this is a huge compliment to Madonna, it is a big failure in the music industry. It is the cancer of original thought.
Artist should not be artist because they can replicate what someone else has acomplished. Not in pop,not in hip hop, not even in any other art medium.

Don't let them tell you
that i am not the one
I am who I am. I am
you.
Don't listen to the hate
Don;t let it penetrate your heart
that belongs to me
tell them you are not afraid
you don't believe that i am those things
tear at their eyes when they talke ill of me
I do it for you.
DOn't be afraid to love me
fear is the unknown
and they don;t know me
They don't know our bond
even from across the oceans
They dont know us my love
