#WarriorPoet- MiRROR MiRROR…
When was the last time that you looked in the mirror? And I don’t mean casually noticing the crust in your eye while brushing your teeth in the morning or raising your phone up to take a “selfie” to post on instagram. I’m talking about a good long look… A look where you DON’T suck your stomach in and you look at yourself from both the frontal and profile views… A look where you’re paying enough attention to notice your first gray hair… Or your 21st gray hair lol… A look in which you notice that you’ve always looked like your mom but now you’re starting to show signs that your dad just might actually be your dad… A look in which you spot flaws but you also take pride in the things you...

Pardon the time-lapse between my last post and today. I’m putting the final touches on #LNDNWÜD Vol. 1, getting ready to shoot videos, and roll out some new music to the media and the whole deal. I love the feedback that I received from the listening party and I’m excited to see how the people are going to receive this project. Oh!!! And for the next 2 Tuesdays, if you’re free, I’m teaching an adult version of Pens Of Power in the Times Square Area. It’s FREE.99 and I’m going over any and everything you’ll need if you’re an aspiring blogger, songwriter, author, poet, etc… Click >> HERE << if you want in! Anyway, today’s post is on something that happens often but commonly goes unnoticed. The...

She made them wake up in the middle of the night. She made them carry lanterns and bundles of courage. She made them envision what the North and freedom would be like as they traveled the underground railroad. She made them do something. They walked. They shouted. They sat in. They bonded. They did all of these things in the name of Civil Rights and all because of one man named King. He made them do something… He made them walk… shout… sit-in… and bond… He provoked action. He made them do something. They hated to see him starve so they took action in regards to equality. They walked. They tried to keep peace for a man named Gandhi. He made them do something. The German army drove thousands of Jewish people from their homes and...
Read More#WarriorPoet- WRONG FEETS
If you’ve never said the following phrase, you’ve definitely heard it. It goes, “Everyone makes mistakes.” And it is a very valid and true statement. We make mistakes everyday. My only problem with this statement is that we often use it as a crutch and as a way to excuse ourselves from stupidity. Here’s an example. I saw a 4-year-old with his shoes on the wrong feet… Naturally I laughed and stated, “Hey lil homie… Your feets are on the wrong shoes!” He looked at me smiling and replied, “Huh?” I pointed and jokingly repeated, “Your feets are on the wrong shoes!” He laughed and said, “Oh, I have on the wrong feets?” I laughed and said, “Yes, you have on the wrong...

Stuff happens. Not just to me, not just to you, but to us all. There’s an awesome book written by a gentleman named Matthew (Former IRS employee) which states “The sun rises on the evil and on the good, and rain falls on the just and on the unjust.” Stuff happens. But I’m going to show you, as always, my own perspective on how to deal with “stuff.” I will be using the game of chess as a reference point for today’s sharing session. No, you don’t need to know how to play chess to grasp it, all you have to do follow the pics! So, In my stay here on planet earth, I’ve concluded that there are 4 things you can do when it comes to stuff. In the game of Chess, the object is to capture the other person’s king...

Read More#WarriorPoet- A WONDERFUL WORLD?!? Pt. 1
Needless to say, we live on an interesting planet. And one simple aspect of our planet is what makes it so interesting. That aspect is a word called “Change.” I haven’t been on this planet long but I’ve been here long enough to notice a few changes and I’ve even noticed that these changes are often linked to our own level of humanity. Change is life’s only constant. Change is inevitable. Change does not always mean growth and/or development. Change is not always “good” while sometimes change is the best thing for us. I appreciate change. Along with my appreciation for change comes questions. Here’s what I mean… There once was a time when our President looked like this: And now he looks like...
