Once muddied and still, the river runs red! All those ships that never sailed, the ones with their seacocks open that lied scuttled in their stalls; today, I bring them back, huge and intransitory, and let them sail forever - if ever there were currents uncurrent.
The wind could not serve as truth's currency. Currently moon marked and sun sparked, unmarked bills, will I am certain I speak a new language, as is always the first sign of a new age. I'd begun to believe my blackened toenails were on path to decay. When, in truth, they had begun the gradual process of crystallization. I am he who walks on wind-scorned feet with toenails of amethyst and road (unintelligible).

Bio
My path now crystal clear, I am come to tell you, she is here. It is not written. No penmanship was ever cargoed with her character.
Notebooks are carefully folded, forest void of autumn bound from the sun. Likewise, she made her residence on the outskirts of history, on the dark side of the moon where the searchlight of the sun cannot spot her nor rot her, the seed of forbidden fruit; every tree has a hidden root, yet she has come to light. And that is the opening couple of stanzas of this epic poem that I wrote called Said the Shotgun to the Head, which is available in book form. The book itself is one long poem in the voice of a man that's telling of the coming of a female Messiah. And essentially, it's a love poem to all of the things that are decaying and destroying the values and ideals that surround patriarchy and all of the male-centered, societal structures that, in my opinion, have led us to our current state of emergency, state of warfare and what have you. GORDON: That was spoken word artist Saul Williams, explaining his poem, Said the Shotgun to the Head.

“Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation.
Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis when you became aware that the greatness of this being was breathing into you. Licking the sides and corners of your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes filled with the essence of your passionate being and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the first kiss of the rest of your life. A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. With or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding” ―. “I'm hip to their game, hip to the science of war Propoganda makes me fight but what am I fightin for? My way of life? Beans and rice?
Give and take, less or more? See through the eyes of the poor, plus I'm black to the core Ignorance is on tour bookin stadiums and more The days of hitler painted pictures patriotic before You raise your flag on a land snatched from bald eagles claw, and stamp the symbol on your currency to finance your war. I'm sayin no. Not in my name. Not in my life.
Not by my hands. That ain't my fight. Not in my name.
