My First Ever Hip Hop Poem

Yeah, let’s be Talking the Walking

So let’s be clear you gotta have words! Your ears, your lips, they ain’t no extravagance.

God didn’t deck you out, two at the hairline just to keep your head in balance,

God didn’t shape pretty, pinkish puckered mouths just for eating…and...kissing,

You gotta have words! For us humans they do the communicating.

But, but, but… hold the horses now, for if words indeed are a must, without which we’d just be mutes doing the hand signals, which is really kinda cute,

You also gotta walk! Yeah, walking is living—living is walking, without which your horn is not ready to be tooting.

Blowing Minds with the Spoken word

I found an amazing, amazing piece on the power of the Spoken Word. One of the video pieces will literally blow your mind if you are a pothead. Whether you are or not, you will want to send this link to any and all the potheads you know. Never, but never have I heard anything so powerful on smoking dope.

The artist is amazingly compelling because of her talent, but also because of the words she is not afraid to say.

The whole piece along with the two powerful video spots makes me wake up and ask, "What's going on in the world of the spoken word that the church needs to use? Could this be a way of reaching out to a vast part of our world today that we will never reach in any other way?

Check it out! Prepare to be amazed!

'Spitting' in Church? More like in the Devil's Eye.
