Dedicated to my social activist friend, brother and word spoken artist mentor – William Washington. <\/p>\n
another year begins
\nto say what I got to say
\nwhether perceived as valuable
\nor not by others
\nI stepped up to the plate
\nand stood before the crowd
\nTO SAY ~
\nTHE NIGGER CHRONICLES
\nTHE MISPRONUNCIATION
\nOF WHO I AM
\nif I strike out
\nI will try again
\nand again
\nfailure ain’t the problem
\ncompliance
\nto what’s unacceptable
\nnow that’s not acceptable
\nnot an option
\nin my reality
\nI walk on
\nwithout fear
\nhesitation
\nor regret. …
\nI’m a contributor
\nto the outcome of life<\/p>\n
peace out<\/p>\n
