So .....

What makes these stupid blacks
think that crime and selling crack
will get them out the ghetto ?

What makes these fools think that ?!?

And ......

What makes white people think
that when they've had a drink
they can act the way they like !?!

But blacks can't
How's that right ?!?

And .....

Why do white folks love their pets ?
give them treats and keep them fed
Even take them to ... " Club Med " ...
but won't let black folks in their bed ?!?

Do you get what i'm saying ?
Okay ... NUFF SAID.

And .....

Why do people say ?

"Hi, you're a cool guy !"

But then won't look you in your eyes ?

And .....

What's with these blokes who sniff the Coc'
and take this life thing for a joke ?!?

Women like to sniff it too !

What's with you girls ?
Don't you like you ?

It seems you don't
... I don't either ...

Does this mean that we are cool ???

Why have children ?
If you're just gonna kill em' !?!

And .....

What makes me like
to hear the Irish say ... " Fil-um-m " ... !?!

And .....

What makes the English Language
So ... AWFULLY CORRECT ... ?

When the royal family's
from a German Sect ?!?

And .....

Why do poets fear me ?

Because my voice
makes mellifluous noise !?!

Or ... could it be ... ?
because i'm black
and speak what's fact ?!?

Why can't poets deal with that ?

And .....

Why don't poets just connect
with my form of intellect ?

I guess it's cos' I challenge
these self obsessed poets !

And .....

What's with these greedy rappers
who walk straight into debt
just for a spot on MTV ?

Those words don't come from jealousy ...
I wrote those words because of these !

MTV Rappers make the WORST CD's !

I'm NOT Feeling Them
Are you feeling me ?
Are you feeling my style of poetry ?

It's NOT Rap
Don't get trapped !

I'm filling the gap
with poetic rap !

And .....

Why do critics
Keep on STRESSING !

"Art gives freedom to creative expression !"

But .....
When artists use
Freedom to express

Critics try to censor them ?!?

Question THIS
Or ... Question THAT

These are questions
based on FACT !!!

Cos' TOO MUCH FICTION
Clouds ... Mass Vision ...

So what do you make
of my lyrical depictions ?

You may say ...

"Hey, that's quite a display
of questions about our world today !"

Well ... That is true ...
but it's more about You ...

How You See Me ...
and how we see our society

Do you feel free
Or ... Do You FLEE .........................

From ........................................... REALITY ... !?!

Well that could be ...
cos of HIS- Story ?!?

Now MY Story's
Built From HONESTY ... !!!

Honesty based on the things I see
INSIDE of You and ... INSIDE Me ...

People who tell LIES FREELY ... ?!?
People STOPPING My Poetry ....

From ...
Getting to the people
It needs to reach

Sometimes this ...
Does make me mad !

More time it ...
Just makes me sad ...

But when I read from ...
..... My Notepad .....

Words i've written
Make Me GLAD ... !!!

Because things I write
Want GOOD ... NOT Bad ... !!!
and won't become a Passing Fad ... !!!

Maybe It Will ... ???

Now that would be a ...
... BITTER PILL ... !!!

But through my will
I'll keep water testing ...

And Hope The Creator
Will Keep On Blessing ...

Me with thoughtful poetry
and answers to these ........

.... " Questions " ....
