"Reminisce"

As I look at u-both sleep-peacefully,the memories-flow like a slow-current of water down a river.

I'm taken back 2 our first-meetings officially,ackward,calming you letting me know you were cool in accepting-me clasping my hand with yours,telling me you knew who your parents were.

Your oldest brother doust-me while being weighed,that-boy!.Then those "Special-first"sounds,coos,belches,words..daddy,mama playin',walking getting into things through your adventures!.

Then came the diagnoses,epilepsy,asthma one less dire than the other but could develope to that stage."2004"the year & summer we never have prayed so-hard for "Gods"-mercy and "grace"."As you the youngest"-"endured"a sleep u may not have awaken from."God"-answered our prayers"though you have no-recollection,It's all good!.

Now you both think you're-grown and smellin'-yourselves pants-saggin' you've lost your mines!.I came-up in hip-hops early days &"That's not it".

We've had to resort to "tough-love"for you to understand,"we're the parents".But the thrill's knowing "It paid-off"you both doing your-desires,writing new-chapters"knowing we're here 4u-unconditionally!.

"In God we trust",yeah-right?!

Those words made famous by our-forefathers!of this country,that I inhabit.I'm Not a deeply-religious man;I perfer-spiritual!but God's-leading me to write this"In God we trust",yeah-right?!.If that's the case this-chaos wouldn't exist!.What I'm saying has been said,done before probally.But
look at the relevancy in the world and in Gods-words and draw your own conclusions.These our current-situations,(results)the scriptures-comparisons:Deuteronomy32:13-40 working some what backward but you will
understand 13.flourished in the stony ground(then the u.s.economy)the lords people grew rich,but rebellious;they were fat and stuffed with food.(the supreme world-power)they sacrificed to gods not-real(darwinism,cloning)they forgot their-god their "mighty savior".the one who gave-them life!.

(Gods-frustration),21.with their idols they made god-angry 20.I'll No-longer help them 22.my anger flames-up like fire and I'll burn-everything on earth!.(remember the second-coming)(23)I will bring on them endless-disasters(katrina,tsunamis,viruses-immuned,super-bugs)with a "killer-resistance" 24.they will die from hunger,fever and terrible-diseases!(droughts,famine-poverty,recession)these are the events he spoke of regarding-feeling "his-presence"eventually the end of how things-now are on earth!cause the new-world(after-life)will-be by his rule only!.

25."War will bring death in the street"(Iraqi-war);terror will strike in homes(home invaisions,parents,kids killing one another!).young men and women will-die;neither babies nor old-people will be spared!(prayer/God taken-out of school!)."The war's not yours",It's Gods!and his-vengenance 36.the Lord will rescue his people when he sees their strength gone.He will have mercy-for those who serve him,when he sees how helpless they are.37.The Lord will ask his-people"Where are those mighty-gods you trusted?".(His mercy with-stern warning of repercussions!)39."I and I-alone,am "GOD";
No-other god is Real."I-kill" and "I give-life","I wound and "I heal,"No one can oppose what I do?"."As surely as "I am the Living-God"there's more but I'll-conclude here.

"The rich developers get richer"

It seems no-matter how much as I one of many-blackmen making a positive-impact in our-communities and beyond.We can't-ignite the other "influential-ones" to do the same in their-communities!.Albeit we can't-help us all if they refuse-it!but It's just-disheartening seeing "the potential-in our race go to waste".Right-now here in West-Atlanta there's a boom in "housing-development"don't-believe the news of "gloom-doom".
To be exact the west-sides historic-neighborhoods,Bowen homes,Hollywood courts I used the past-tense because this year thats what they'll be,"history!".

Due to re-developement by "white-developers"I can't-knock the hustle! but I can speak and invest my black-dollars with my people!.This hustle's bland and "cut-throat"to my people since-slavery they should've saw it coming!.as usual instead of us becoming franchised "working-together for our own good economically".Theres those of us that rather stay "disenfranchised".Because of envy,lack of trust for one another!.Again all "opportunities-squandered" but Not for the white-man or his cohorts-foreign(Middle-eastern,Asian).

Ever "the opportunist" to reap-profits that could've gone to us!.Haven't you all-learned you're-not getting a "bargin" you're getting re-sold property thats "over-priced" with some amnemities-woo-wee!.Condos,townhomes,refurbished-apartments (you can't-rent)unless u got close to "A-1 credit"."How much-more" my people before U-Realize "it's systematic"& for us to combat and"overcome"to prosper we can only-do it!"there's no-love lost" on the black-race!.

"vick"

Jack was nimble but not quick
as Mike Vick.The house of cards-folded
tumbled bricks on Vick.

bourgie-media glossed out hicks
a bunch of tricks unto the next-vics.

mikes supposed-clique used him as a come-up
lick.But he's not innocent cause he lent.

Unfortunate the charges stick
black-people are again sick
another's behind walls that
constrict!.

"Resse's whipps"

Mmm is all I can say about the new-"Resse's whipps",first-off"It's velvetly-smooth"What a "cool-treat",just sweet,"taste-buds peak!".It weighs close to "zero"due to the 40% less-fat listed on the wrapper.2 ounces of "chocolate-covered nougat".I had to double-check that,I"didn't leave" it at the counter after I paid for it!."The nougat's so-satisfying"not-heavy but subtle,reminds me of a compeititor..musketeer but-better!.If not for its-hint of being mixed with its older-name-sake,"Reese's-cup"that stable-ingredient;"peanut butter"you would forget it's in the family!."That-good!"..ladies and gents meet the new-candy bar with "the chip",the next-thing hip"Reese's-whipps".
