LOST

“I have a dream.”

Big Body Benz, sittin’ on 22’s. Gold…Hell NO…Platinum around my neck. Benjamins in my pocket. Timberlands on my feet. Cristol in my Fridge. 65” screen in my crib.

Where have you gone Martin?


“By any means necessary.”

Steal it. Sling it. Pimp it. Sell out. Buy in. kiss up. Bow down.

Where have you gone Malcolm?


“Every man that thinketh, burneth the midnight lamp. Intelligence rules the world and ignorance carries the burden.”

40’s, chronic, rock, blow. Bitches, blunts, & babies mommas. boosters, hustlers, pimps, tricks.

Where have you gone Marcus?


“Allah does not look at the value of your faces and nor your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your practices.”

Blue black. High yellow. Quadroon. Octoroon. Mulatto. Oreo.

Where have you gone Mohammad?


“You can kill a man but you can’t kill an idea.”

Crack, meth, and malt liquor. Gang bangin’, player hatin’, unwrapped punany hittin’. Od’s, dt’s, doa’s, hiv’s, and rip’s.

Where have you gone Medgar?


Your words. Your words have fallen on deaf ears, or ears that hear but, refuse to listen.

Your vision. Your vision is lost on the shortsighted.

Your passion. Your passion diminished by the weak of heart.

Your dream. Your dream dissipated by complacency.

Where, Oh where, have you gone?
