if science has the most perfect language just think of me as Mc^{<small>2</small>} ...one day i'm gonna grab your loveand you'll be satisfied - Nikki Giovanni

...do you ever stop
to think what it looked like
before it was an avenue
...ever look south
...and see gazelles running playfully
after the lions
...did you ever, sit down
and wonder about what freedom's freedom
would bring
...the , Alonquin
and ... could caress
the earthever think what Harlem would be
like if our herbs and roots and elephant ears
grew...
the parrot parroting ...ever think it's possible
for us to be
happy

History is wonderful. We have so much we can learn if we would quit making ideology out of history, and just deal with what happened…

...as i grew and matured
i became more sensible
and decided i would
settle down
and just become
a sweet inspiration
