Kryptonite

i figured
if i was gonna go at dude
i might as well go all in
pull no punches
this aint summer time
free lunches
shadow boxing
with your man
this hard core poetry
aimed against the man
with affiliation with the clan
affiliation with the jake
thought u was a real rhyme spitting nigga
but turns out
you just a snake with mediocre taste
exhustler turned executive with a red cape
cut through all the red tape
this goes out to you Jay...
who am i?
call me kryptonite ...
suffer the same fate

Lost Poems

Lost poems are like
lost friends
Lose one today

Creed Movement

Four men find time to come together and speak on life, politics, women and the life their living at the moment. It was a wonderful experiance... One that I have lacked for some time. The plan seems to be taking life, and we will all be witness to the 're-up' of the Bronx as we know it today. That's goal. Better education; better job opp's; better way of life for all of us -- black, white, latino.... everyone who calls the Bronx their home will reap the rewards of this movement.... If they only choose to come aboard and ....

Respond instead of React
Reason instead of Riot
Stay Driven without Desperation

We can do it. I believe in this. And I believe in us.

The Exotic

When I was in Fordham ... The STEP Program to be exact.... One of my advisors called me a young stud because of all the women that flocked to me.

Back then, I guess there was something to the madness, because I invited the attention. I needed it.

I still do need it, to a point. I get the attention from every which way. My children, mostly, give me that much attention, and I in turn, give as much of myself back (to my kids) .

Am I a selfish person, for now, I do not want to give attention to just anyone who falls into my lap. Am I not being the person I set out to be at the beginning of the day, when I shut people down. And when I shut folks down... why should I have a guilty feeling welling up in my gut, like I've wronged someone who means that much to me, that at the end of the day....

I can't even remember their names

Your youngest is under the weather

I have a great responsibility .... being a father has proven to be more demanding than any job I could have ever hoped for. I expect a promotion in about 30 years.

I love you Jamere, Jacob, and Zalichi.
