The Black Plague As
these tears of joy fall and find no one to wipe them, I realize that they don’t need anyone to do so. As I listen passionately
to every word said by this young black uniter who stands before me like a young prince in the midst of many false kings, I
see a more prosperous America and a new chapter in the life of an inspiring young artist like myself. I now have more hope
than I’ve ever had. Twiddling my thoughts out of this knot made of joy, I conceded that America’s heart has finally
shined as bright as when it first declared its independence in 1776. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a scenario
where a black man would be my country’s president, and my inspiration to do all of the things that I have dreamed of
doing. Never forgetful of the strenuous journey that peaked before me in these times full of government lies and conspiracies,
I look upon a new age incumbent of a president with a chocolate face, and a candy heart. I praise his work for he united black
and white in this victory and he defeated the mighty Clintons who were the heir apparent of the democratic throne, while revealing
the chinks in their armor which we never thought to see flawed with such elegant mannerisms of a “cool hand Luke”
president that we seem to need in office. Ever so gracefully our voices were finally heard. From old to young, people who
believed they could make a change came forth and manifested the power of our numbers when united. Let this day serve as a
stepping stone for all that doubt what hard work can do. I don’t want to hear that the man is holding you back anymore
after we paint the white house black. Just remember one thing, if change is to come, it won’t be from the president.
He has already given us the hope that we need to move forward. Change has to start in our homes and in our everyday lives
in how we carry ourselves from here on out, and what we do with this new found treasure given to us by the grace of God. I
repeat the words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy…… “Ask not what my country can do for me, but what can I do
for my country” Ask what I can do for my family, for my brother, for my people’s future. The seal of excuses has
been broken, and it is now time to not fear our own brilliance and our own possibility, but to embrace it in the midst of
this great and troubled era. Let us bring forth the possibility of our triumph as a nation through our conviction and our
tenor, with our wits and our endurance, with our hope for mental, physical, and religious freedoms. Let our voices continue
to be heard with the actions they produce, and most importantly….when we put our children to bed tonight, make sure
you reassure them that they could be anything they want to be…..even the president of the united states of America!!! “I need scarcely
observe that a poem deserves its title only inasmuch as it excites by elevating the soul”-The Poetic principle-Edgar

Black Plague Black Plague, where are you? They
call me Blatant Misses but I am a black plague too; Oh yes, let’s get that out the way, I’m Black… please don’t’
shoot Let
me spit thoughts to these ignorant minds like sperm when ejaculated at an orgasmic peak, Using the truth as my shield, my beliefs
as my stance and my mouth as my firearms I spit realness where sometimes real has to ask, “Yo, where did that shit come from
“ Cause
understand, I’m a poet first, a lady second… that’s probably why they call me Blatant Misses Obama, Obama, where art thou? I am the future so I guess I’m Obama too He’s black, please don’t
shoot Please
don’t mistake or mis- take him as a hoodlum because they come in all colors, Bush is more reckless than ever, invading
a country with no reasonable cause And just cause I bump fists when I’m feeling something that’s hot Don’t think I
don’t know a lot That
I’m a miseducated misfit destined to fit your constricted identity and you want me to identify with this, but I only
am what I answer to So
call me a Nigga, call me a Terrorist Knowing that Republicans are the real terrorists, having terrorized international
countries about so called Weapons of Mass Destruction, oil, yea, yea, whatever cause
the same mutherfuckers who blew up the Towers has 7% of American business power And Bush, Mc Cain, and Palin, 3 assholes
in a pod, EMPLOYMENT,
EDUCATION AND ECONOMY ARE DOWN!!! The only things up are jail rates, police brutality, gas prices, and, of course, McCain’s age And when that nigga die,
we’ll be stuck with the bitch with the winking problem like she’s in her teen age phase And just cause you hear the Caribbean
accent, don’t assume I’m not a resident Cause I am Obama, I’m fucking good enough to be President! And who’s better than to turn this
economy around. but a Black man, who can always turn nothing into something flip, stack and get around this bitch And black people, even
though it’s against our beliefs, it’s about time we snitch! Not from the NYPD institution, but constitutionally, Why is there a question mark after this, Mr. Officer? I’m’ Black, please don’t
shoot ...Question Mark? What, stop think about it? We need Obama in office, I’m sick of the Bullshit And they gonna keep hearing my mouth
unless they kill me Cause
we are black plagues, he is the Black Plague, I am Blatant Misses We do this for the love of truth, the love of freedom We are For the Love of Poetry
Another day, Another tie, Another shirt,
