15-Minute Implosion

By JOSHYWA

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.

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
