15-Minute Implosion

If I ran for president I'd FREE all of my homies from the man/

I'm talking bout, No worries, No problems, and God help us no Uncle Sam.

76 Hamilton Lyrics For Your Instagram Caption

I was born on a Monday,

Born a boy with a plan/ So much respect on my brand/ That my brain should be banned/ They tried to Sink ship "Yes We Can"/

While they ship my soul out to Iran...

Yea...Iran,

Cause I ran/ in a span of 30 minutes , to get away from reality.

Me vs the World, seemed like fly on the wall vs fatality.

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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
