Your looking at the New Prophecy of the World Leader/ Im Huey Newton, Ghandi and Langston Hughes rolled all in one together/ My name is already in the books/ just being born was all it took.

I stand before you the unsung legend/my life is destined/I'm strong lessoned/ a Ferrari Engine/you let me keep my feet on the gas too long I'll teach you life lesson.

Be the change you want to see in this world/ but I can't change it, unless I change myself.

I come before you a man of God,

So Godspeed/ I prophesied/ that nothing is guaranteed/ even if I PLEAD the blood of Jesus/ it didn't stop temptation from getting to Adam..... and EVE.

I'm a writer/ Poet/ activist and a creator/ with a sense of humor I couldn't measure. So why I don't run for president?

Nah cause if I did, they'd slap on CHAINS/ with my face in the terrain/ Because I'm a black individual so I'm obviously/ I'm to BLAME!

I could talk all day about black empowerment, but I will just say...BLACK LIVES MATTER!

But I'm not talking about a hashtag/or a white flag/ even a N-E-G-U-S Brag/ Or the fact that the new white hood in America is the police badge.

But there not all bad...

Does that mean I shouldn't be sad?

Or maybe I should forget it happened, Tweet about it and be GLAD,

that's it not me....

I'm talking about senseless, unadulterated violence within the black community, and we just want to be FREE...

They say I got CRAZY EYES but, Orange has always been the new black. They way they lock

Up my brothers and throw them in the sack/ I must watch my Back/ cause if I accidentally read a book,

They might see I'm educating myself and Unload the bullet, then SMACK!

So what must I do to get people to remember the seeds that I have planted on these hollow grounds I walk. Do I have to win a nobel peace prize, spark a Nation, or talk the talk?

Remember me/ not as the man i'm going to be/ or even the vision I can already foresee. Remember who I am today, Joshua Deshaun Gay.

The man with the Dream

With the melanin gleam

The Leader of my team!

With the slight quick flow scheme.

So as I stand before you today

I'm done with this Chosen Notion of Handwoven emotion cause this...

Is my 15-Minute Implosion.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

681

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2361

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
