  2. Short Futile Shit

    I like the way this pen writes

    So smooth the way it slides

    Gliding across this vacant paper

    Right in front of my eyes

    This pen is not like other pens

    And I am not like other guys

    Not grounded to the earth, no bounds

    With rhymes.. I fly

    Rachet imagination, Nightmares at day Time

    Laughin at these fake rappers, every time.. they ryme

    Cuz its all the same shit

    Money, Clothes, Cars and Hoes

    Always throwin up they set like it’s the best but they don’t know

    Griots, we’re the kings

    The village listens as we sing

    Songs of the past and Future

    Healing wounds from the wars, Like a rhythmical suture

    So silent you can hear the tick tock

    Of the clocks

    Plus my watch

    Hear a pen drop

    But can we make them stop?

    I doubt it..

    Divided we fall.. United we sand

    Nowadays only thing united are soccer teams.. West Ham

    But I’ll still be the best man, this village has seen

    Run my tongue up and down the streets till our community’s clean

    Allow the next kin to rest in, cradles made of clouds

    Answers every question in the book so that they’ll all no how

    To live life intoxicated.. walking on air

    Weather I’m dead or alive my eyes will always be there..

    One God..

    One Love <3

  5. I Think its funny, how they’re always there..

    Watching over us pretending that they care..

    Because that know that only few of us would dare to take a stand..

    We all allow them to further contract that short leash they’ve already rapped around our hands..

    Times are hard, in days like these..

    But I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees..

    So in my mind there’s only one solution..

    ..

    .

    REVOLUTION !!

    ..

    .

    End this bloodshed! Meaningless destruction!

    No fear we’re all dead! Enough with this corruption!

    Overthrow, With this rebellion!

    Gun shots, explosions, bells ring!

    On going, until we’ve won!

    The children of the future, they’ll sing..

    Songs of bravery, honor and praise..

    Dignity, glory, throughout the days

    Humiliation of the devils deep within..

    Because when it’s Good vs. Evil, we all know who will win..

    And one day, the people will control their own nation..

    Because of their struggle under Gods observation..

    Free Libya

    Free Palestine

    Free the oppressed, the abused, the burdened, the distressed, the harassed, the overcome, the overpowered, the overwhelmed, the persecuted, plagued, put down, suppressed, strained, tormented, tortured, the helpless and deeply damaged!

    One God..

    One Love <3

  7. Libya


    Around 1,000 people have been killed and 3,000 people injured in Misrata in the past six weeks, according to a senior medic. Over the past week, medical staff have seen a sudden rise in the number of people brought to the hospital with gunshot wounds in the head and neck..

    It’s only been two months since the massacres in Libya started and it already feels like forever. I wonder how Palestine feels.. because for them, it kinda has been forever..
