About me. What do you want to know? I am an open book.
A living poem. Art in progress.
Perhaps I should warn you, I am unrestrained, and fearless; only barely civilized (in the western sense of the word), but as civil as you let me be, and way more hospitable than traditional manners would require.
I am a poet, a warrior, an activist, a father, a human, a lover, a leader. I write, I practice I spit. I live for this. I have spit from one end of this nation to another. I have as much love for the cipher on the streets as I do for ripping stages with crowds of thousands. I am not the “illest shit” but I am on the path.
I am engaging, and in love with all things polemic. I am a bad boy, a good man, the angry intellectual. Poets In The Streets is my brainchild. Together with Krysis and others to numerous to name, we travel all across the nation teaching creative writing workshops, and performing wherever needed. All of this is me, and yet all of this only barely scratches the surface. Want to know more. Get at me. Let’s have an honest discussion about whatever. It’s what I do. Love it, Live it. Breathe it, be it.
Experience has taught me that this is not a generation weaned on Shakespeare, Lord Tennyson, or Dylan Thomas, so how could they ever expect to get the Maze Forever's and the Queen Sheba's in the curriculim. At best there are a precious few whose high school literature classes fed a steady diet of Edgar Allen Poe and perhaps a few beatnik offerings beyond high school. It is entirely conceivable that a full 70% of American students never reads classical literature again. So why should we expect them to reach for the contemporary?
People must be entertained before they entertain notions of deciphering deeper meanings and focus on un-timed rhyming conventions that would dizzy sleeping minds. My more modern prognosis is writing must be alive and interactive. What I attempt to offer my reader is a tale of dynamic characters, sensational antagonists, and words, words, words to change worlds with. Do you write the hotness? If so... lets do something the postmodernist forgot to do. Let's bring this work to the masses.
In summation:
I am a poet... A philosopher. I study both love and war. I wish to come to understanding of the human condition. I wish to come to understand ecstasy, both as a condition of the physical and spiritual. I want recognition for the art that I make as well as the thoughts I think. I want peace. I want sex, always but more than that, sensuality, sexuality, lust, longing, pain and the pleasure it brings. I want comfort yet I fear its ability to weaken an individual.
I am multidimensional, loyal, lustful, literate, and legitimately genuine.
..
..
Who I'd like to meet:
I must say... most of the people I want to meet, I have met. So for me... I would have to start naming dead people: Ghandi, Y'sha (or in Eurocentristic ease... Jesus), Mosheh (Moses), Gautama (the Buddha), Malik El Hajj Shabazz, Che, Mao, Sun Tzu, and E. Allen Poe we'd talk about philosophy and shmokum Afghan cush, to see if that world peace thing is just a myth or in fact possible.
