i have a question do a lot of poets in this forum perform at readings?
I am….
Tainted Platinum
I am the essence of ink before it reaches the printer
I am the message before it reaches the sender
I am the dirt and the epidermis of grass
I am the pass, the catch; I am the first of the last
Revolutionary, dismissed the evolutionary
With knowledge legendary
Ain’t have to edit my flows to censored ears
I am one of the few men who has no fears
I am the ****** that you say I am
I am the same person who sits next to Uncle Sam
I am the man who stands where government stands
I am the coca ship that lands and docks on foreign sands
Undisputed, underrated, and highly agitated
Slept on my flows cuz I spit for the street stakes
Had a wish like a sweepstakes
Darkness evolved into light like Christmas stakes
I am a puddle of blood and pathogens that dissolve in aspirin
I am the spoiled child who keeps nagging
I am the experimentation and the grants minorities never seen
I am the credit rating and the equity never foreseen
Against all odds, all cost is minimal
With precious luxuries in Africa and minerals
Not too literal, I flow for bowls of cereal
To get protein, is the everyday ritual
I am a crusade; I am civil rights and affirmative action
I am a leader, a human, so excuse me Miss Jackson
I am a law inscribed by the bribe of brides
I am the prenup and the documents in fine print inside
Whosoever put levels together to vanquish endeavors?
Goodfellas, aids like rocafellas, unread letters
Anthrax staining tampax
If only the contacts, could be seen with contacts
I am love, a well of passion, bliss
I am sight, blindness I am the last kiss
I am a smile, I am child, I am a lifestyle
I am a poet, soul singer I am freestyle
Raw, unsaw, unmarked car
Un-discovered on Destee, scratches on my car
Parked in neutral, who do you root to
Four, four, routes I can elude to
I am the shine, I am the gloss, I am ice
I am nice, I am the dice, I am twice
I am the man doubled behind interior and exterior
I am to animals superior but to God inferior
I am tainted platinum
I am….
