You’ve nodded your head in approval to the up-and-coming poets comin outta nowhere to tear up the stage…

You dropped your jaw as superstar musicians and actors like Dave Chappelle and Alicia Keys have shown their poetic chops…

And you’ve stepped up your own game the whole way, hoping to get on Russell Simmons’ radar and be part of DEF POETRY…

Lost Tribe

We need more unity, need more guide
More than ever God on our side
Not jealousy not killing
But the consistency of being willing
We are strong we need to see
Our purpose known before our destinies
Many speak wise through their words
But not much of things I have not heard
Just like they say that words are cheap
And many danger lie inside a gas seep
I see many talking the talk
Except very few are walking the walk
Women are homeless, Blacks riddled with Aids
Fights break out at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. parades
Looks like a few generations were robbed
Too many mothers hearts has throbbed
And time is still spinning webbed cobbs
I think a lot is still unsaid and a lot is still unfair
If your looking for a lie I don't have one to spare
So it's time for politicians and leaders to take heed
Who in this country has really been freed?
Shouldn't most Americans own a business or a store
Especially those who has fought the wars
But veterans in wheelchairs living on the streets
Don't own a twin bed let alone their feet
Mothers with their children living on skid row
No place to run and no where to go
America I don't intend to be so mean, but where is the land of the free
I know you see it too, I know it's not only me! (c)
