So Now That I’ve Had The Chance...
To Watch The Show...

... “ THE LAST DANCE “...

It’s INCREDIBLE To Know...
How HARD It Was For... MJ...
To Make His Way In The NBA...

From His College Days...
To His Days of PAIN...
When His Coach Would Say...

“ Come on now MJ,
you’re not fit to play ! “

To See How He’d COMPLAIN...
... CLEARLY Displayed...
How His DESIRE Was GREAT... !!!

To Be A WINNER...
At Basically ANY COST... !!!

And Was Willing To Deliver...
To Be... The BOSS... !!!

And The Greatest To EVER...
Play The Game... !!!!!

To Me He Was BETTER...
Than Kobe Or James... !!!

But Kobe Was CLOSE...
And That Is NO JOKE... !!!

And Like... PELE...
There Was Something In The Way...
He Chose To DISPLAY...
His Talents And Gifts...
Like A Sporting KING... !!!

Just Like KING VIV...
Whose Talent, Drive...
And PURE DISCIPLINE... !!!

Have Now Influenced Me...
And How I Write My Poetry...

It HAS To Be RIGHT...
And Flow SO TIGHT...
That I’ll Spend ALL DAY...
And Sometimes ALL NIGHT... !!!

Until I Find...
... The PERFECT LINE...
To Put In Rhyme... !!!!!!

It’s A Line That’s FINE...
Like MIchael On The Baseline... !!!

About To Drive...
And Simply BLOW BY...
ANY Defensive Guy...
Who Dared To Try...
To Leave Michael Denied... !!!

Now It’s Not Quite The Same...
In The... Poetry Game...
Because A Lot of Lame Brains...
Disrespect Wordplay...

That Is... THE TRUTH... !!!

When It Proves To Influence...
And DESTROY IGNORANCE... !!!

It’s Not Quite As BLATANT...
As A Foul That’s Clearly Flagrant... !!!

You See My Influences Came...
From A Lot of Sporting Names...

But MJ Just... AMAZED... !!!
With How He’d Chew And Gaze...
And Somehow Touch The Sky...
As If His Shoes Could FLY... !!!

So When I Sit And Write...
I... ELEVATE My Mind...
To Keep My Standards HIGH... !!!

And To NEVER EVER Think...
That My Words CAN’T Claim The WIN... !!!

But Just Like Scottie Pippen...
I Know What It Is To Be DISMISSED... !!!
And See Someone BED BOUND...
In Their VERY OWN House... !!!

So Did What Was Right...
Instead of Making Light...
of A DIFFICULT Time...
To Earn A Money Prize... !!!

So I Have Been Influenced...
By Those Who Have Shown Prudence...
Even When I Never Knew It.....

It Was Something In Their Movements...
And How They Kept Improving...
That Kept My Mental Tutored...

In... NEVER Letting Up...
Especially When Things Got...
.... REALLY TOUGH.... !!!

When Dealing With My Mum...
When Sickness Hit And Stunned... !!!

I Would NOT Run...
Like My Father Had Done... !!!

I Had To Stand By Her...
Like A Teammate Does...
Who Helps Them To Conquer...
Like Scottie Did For Jordan... !!!

I’ve Met Sportsman...
Who’ve Made Their Mark...
Like... Jahangir Khan... !!!

And Saw Humbleness...
As Well As GREATNESS...

NOT The Behaviour of An ***...
And Like My Father Always Said...
Have Shown DIGNITY And CLASS...

EVEN IN Times When...
I’ve Been INFLUENCED...
To REACT Like TYSON...
EAR Biting And FIGHTING... !!!

But Have Learned To Be Cool...
In The Face of FOOLS...

From My Days At School...
To Working With Dudes...
And Women... TOO...

Who Thought That They...
Could ***** My Name...
With Their Childish Games...
And ****** Displays...

Which Brings Me Right Back...
To The Man... MJ... !!!

That’s Right Michael Jordan...
The One And Only KING...

... of The NBA...

An INCREDIBLE Mover...
Defender And Shooter... !!!

Who Was NOT PERFECT... !!!
But When He Came Correct...

... He Came CORRECT... !!!!!

Leaving His Opponents...
Either BURIED Or DEAD... !!!

A... MASTER Craftsmen...
And Disciplined Marksmen... !!!

Who Just Like The Men...
I’ve Mentioned in This Poem...

Was CLEARLY A CUT...
ABOVE All The Rest... !!!

A GENIUS And A...
... CHAMPION... !!!!!

Who Has Certainly Fed...
MANY MORE Than Me...
Through His Sporting Feats...

Because He Worked HARD...
To Make His Mark...
And CLEARLY EARNED...
The RESPECT That He DESERVED... !!!

And Has INSPIRED Me...
To Write This Piece of Poetry...
That Speaks A Little Bit...
About... His History...

That TRULY Represents...
What It Takes To Be The BEST... !!!

And To DEFINE The Word...
That Has Influenced...
How I Write My Poems...
And Construct My Verse...

It Demands DISCIPLINE...
And Garners Great Respect...
Cos’ It’s About MUCH MORE...
Than Becoming FAMOUS...

It Requires GREAT STRENGTH... !!!

To... TRULY ACHIEVE...
What It Is That We DEFINE...

As Having This Thing...
That Is Known As...

..... “ GREATNESS “.....

Now When It Comes To Lyrics...
I'm A Rhyme Specialist...
And TRUE WORDSMITH... !!!

Because I Flip Scripts...
With Lyrical Twists...

That Twist And Turn...
Through EXPANSIVE Verse...
That Speaks On The World...
In Ways That Work...
Like... Spock And Kirk... !!!

Combative Like Captains...
With Logic That’s Valid...
In Finding What’s Best...
To Express Through Poems...

Which Is Why I’m A THREAT...
To... IGNORANT Heads...
Whose Mindset Lends...
Itself To The DEATH...
of... Common Sense... !?!

I’m A Lyrical Vet...
Wordsmith And Poet...

Whose Use of Diction...
... REFUSES Fiction... !!!
Because It’s Descriptive...
of How We’re Living...

From Vibes of Racism...
To Limited Thinking...
That Keeps Heads Imprisoned...
And Restricts Their Vision...

It’s A Gift GOD GIVEN... !!!

But NOT The Type of God...
That Most Heads Think of... !!!

It’s The Gods of Verse...
Who Have Blessed Big Virge...

That’s Right I Mean ME... !!!
To... Lyrically Be...

A Wordsmith Who Deals...
In Poetic Straight Speech...
That’s REALER Than REAL... !!!

Because It’s Themes Are REALITY...
NOT Fantasies Or Fallacies...

But Wordplay Driven...
To Give Descriptions...
of Peoples Submissions...
To Political Villains...

And Soldiers Killing...
To Fuel Divisions...

So My Words Don’t Deal In...
... Vicious Missions... !!!

Or The Type of Pictures...
With Impossible Visions...

My Wordplay Delivers...
Rhythmic Scriptures...

Like Those In Egypt...
In Restricted Crypts... !!!

So Are VERY WELL Hidden...
By Those Who Are Smitten...
With LYING To CHILDREN... !!!

As Well As The Heads...
Who Are Now SUBJECTS...
of Her Royal Highness... !!!

Who Clearly Think LESS...
Than A Man Who Is VEX...
And Is Ready To Vent...
Through EXTREME Violence... !!!

While I Use Rhymes...
To Define What I Find...
To Be Truth And Lies...

By Using My Mind...
My Thoughts And Pen...
To Write Poems...

That Prove That I’m THIS...

A Lyrical KING...
And TOP NOTCH...

..... “ Wordsmith “.....

Mister Compromise...
Is A... STRANGE Old Guy... ?

Cos' He's Prone And Known...
To Compromise His Life...
So That He Can... SHINE... !!!
And Be The Type Who BUYS...
A Nice... " Trophy Wife "... !!!

Which Goes To SHOW …
That He AIN'T NO JOKE... !!!
And Can Get You IN Some …
… Pretty DEEP Holes... !!!

He'll Get You... " The Role "...
of A Soul Who'll SELL …
Himself For WEALTH...
So He CLEARLY Moves …
Through Women TOO... !!!!!

How Many Spread Thighs...
To Get Contracts SIGNED...
So That They Can …
… ” HEADLINE "... !!!

Is THAT... " Compromise "... ?!?
Or Just Being... WISE... ?!?
To USE What You've Got...
To Get You To The TOP... !!!

You See Boxers DROP...
As DO Those THONGS... !!!
So That... Mister Compromise...
Gets HIMSELF... TOP SPOT... !!!!!!!

Cos' His Number ONE Song...
Makes ***** ROCK STRONG... !!!!

That's Just A JOKE But Hendrix KNOWS...
Compromise Can FILL MORE Than Your Nose... !!!!!

Is Taking DRUGS …
Compromising Stuff... ?!?

Well If You LACK Control …
MANY Heads Have SHOWN...
That Drugs WILL Compromise …
If You Have A... " Weak Mind "...

ONLY The STRONG Survive …
EXCEPT... " Mister Compromise "... !!!!!

He's Weak To ME …
But STILL Succeeds...
Because He Sneaks …
And Creeps With Peeps'...
Who Fulfil Dreams By …
… ANY MEANS... !!!

Compromise AGAIN...
UNASHAMED To GAIN By …
… DEVIANT Ways...
Cos' Mister Compromise …
AIN'T About Playing Straight... !!!

He's As STRAIGHT As...
… “ MISTER BENT "... !!!

His VERY CLOSE Friend... !!!
Who's Willing To BEND …
Again And AGAIN... !!!

Do You Get What I'm SAYING... !?!
... I'M NOT Sure I DO... !?!?!

Cos' I Compromise TOO …
Every Once In A While... !!!
But CHOOSE To Profile …
An UNCOMPROMISING Manner... !!!
Somewhat Like Dr. Banner …
Or THOR With His HAMMER... !!!

DON'T Make Me Compromise …
And We'll Be … Just Fine... !!!

But MESSING With My Karma...
Means I HAVE To Call... " WAKANDA' "... !!!

And Take It Back To PANTHERS... !!!
BLACK And STRONG Like Handlers...
Who PROVE That Compromise …
Can Lead To CERTAIN Ties...
That KEEP YOU... "WELL PROTECTED !"...

Or Maybe Just INFECTED... !!!

By THOSE Who KNOW …
How Mister Compromise Rolls...
He Loves A GOOD TIME …
If The Price Is RIGHT... !!!!!!!

Whether MALE Or FELINE...
Mister Compromise …
WILL FALL IN LINE... !!!

And DO What It Takes...
NO Shame NO Game …
Is The Way They PLAY...

I DUNNO These Days …
Where The Guidelines Lay... !?!
Cos' They Seem MISPLACED …
And Now HAPPILY......... Stray.........

Which IS A SHAME And IS A FACT...
... What's Up With THAT... ?!?

People Have Done …
Some CRAZY Stuff... !!!
To PROVE That They're TOUGH …
Or To Get To Number ONE... !!!!!

Because Mister Compromise...
Can Make You Succumb To Being UNWISE...
And PULLING DUMD Stunts.... !!!!!

Which Brings Me BACK …
To The Question I Had.....

Do You Think It's WISE...
Daytime Or Night …
To Be … FORTHRIGHT... ?!?

Or Is It WISER To... " dIsGUise "...
What You... " REALLY Feel Inside "... !!!

And To Just Be Like...

... " Mister Compromise "...

Now... My Poetic Potions...
Are Those That Are POTENT... !!!

So Cause A COMMOTION...
In Heads With The Notion...
That They Be ALL KNOWING... ?!?

Which Clearly Is Showing...
Their Potions Are BROKEN...
And Focussed On Holding...

Mixtures of Tinctures...
That Create FAKE Pictures...
of Thinking That’s Linking...
Itself To Ships Sinking... !!!!!!!!

While Potions I Roll With...
Somehow Keep Me Floating...
And STINGING Like Bees...
That’s Right Like... ALI... !!!

Now I’m Not That Pretty...
But I’m Sure NOT UGLY... !!!

Cos My Thoughts Hold BEAUTY...
That Prove That I’m... DEEP... !!!

Just Like Beautiful Minds...
That Write The Best Rhymes...
That Speak About Life...

And Create EXPLOSIONS...
of Potions With Motions...
That … Musically SHINE... !!!

Now I May Not Be One...
Whose Known Or Famous...

But That Is Because...
My Potions DON’T Front...
Or Bend Over Like SOME... !!!

To Get To Positions...
WITHOUT Paying Dues...

Due To Their Thinking...
REFUSING To Choose...

To NOT Do What Their TOLD...
Just Like Those Slaves of Old... !!!

A Potion... SO COLD...
That It’s BROKEN The Souls...
of Those Who Were Weak...
And Embraced Slavery... ?!?

Instead of Concocting...
A Potion For STOPPING...
Supremacist Nonsense... !!!

Like Witch Doctors Shopping...
For Potions So POTENT... !!!

That They POISONED Heads...
And Stomachs of Men...
Who Came With Recitals...
From LIBELLOUS Bibles... !!!

And Then CHANGED The Titles...
of Nations Once VITAL...
To... Human Survival...
Like Melanin Skins...
That Contain Vitamins... !!!

That Help Us To Live...
Under Sunshine That Brings...

BURNS To These People...
Whose Potions Are EVIL... !!!

But Words I’m Now Writing...
Have Potions Combining...
EXQUISITE Verse Rhyming...
With Wordplay DEFYING...
Leaders... Who Are LYING... !!!

Because They’re Inviting...
People To STOP GRIPING...
And Foolish In Fighting... !!!

That Keeps On Dividing...
Because of Disliking...
Those DIFFERENT To YOU...
Like Those In Tribal Crews... !!!

Now Those Words Air A View...
For Those That Are SHREWD...

So DON’T Get It CONFUSED... !!!

My Potions' Devotion...
Is NOT For One Hue... !!!

Societal Tricks...
Have Potions That STINK... !!!

But NOTHING STINKS MORE...
Than... HATRED of Skin... !!!
When We Should Look WITHIN...

Or... Internal Wars...
That Hurt YOUR OWN KIN... !?!

My Potions REFUSE...
To... EVER EXCUSE...

Those Who Make Claims...
That... Their Race Is Great... !!!

Because... Nobody’s Perfect...
That’s Right... NOBODY... !!!

No Matter What Skin Tone...
Or … Family Tree …
That Defines Who You Be... !!!

So These Days I’m Focussed...
On... HUMANITY... !!!

NOT Being SUPREME...
When TECHNOLOGY...
Is Getting To Be...
Something SO SUPREME...

That... Humanity...
May Be Left All At Sea... ?!?

Humans Are CRAZY...
To... Truly Believe...

That Tech And Vaccines...
Are The Things That Should LEAD...

While We Still Fight Each Other...
For... EQUALITY...

Corona’s New Potions...
Are Causing COMMOTION...
So What Are We Doing...
To Hinder These Movements... ?

Well Me I’m Concocting...
More Poems Exuding...

A Wish For More Shrewdness...
And Being MORE HUMAN... !!!

Instead of Collusion’s...
And Movements Confusing...
What Needs To Be Flowing...

MORE TRUTH And Less Lies...
From Those In Nice Ties...

Like Deceitful P.O.T.U.S.... !!!

And Talk That Is POTENT... !!!
That Hits MORE Than Quotas...
of... Modern Day Voters...

Like The Things I’m Now Quoting...

In My......

........ “ Poetic Potions “.......

Yup... Trial And Error...
Is A Great CORRECTOR... !!!

I've Had My Trials...
... Within This Life..

But Have Found They've Helped...
When My Temperature's SWELLED... !!!!!

Somehow They've Dealt...
Some Cards That Felt...

As If NO BLUFF...
Could of Been Enough...
To Rise ABOVE  ...
When Things Got TOUGH... !!!

From Working With Jerks...
Who I Wanted To Hurt...

To Dealing With My Mum...
When Sclerosis STUNNED...
... MULTIPLE Functions....
of Her Nervous System... !!!!!

Ya See Trials Have Been...
A Thing That Seemed...

INSURMOUNTABLE...
...... BELIEVE...... !!!!!

But Have Also Built...
A Strength That My Mother...
... Gave To Me... !!!

When She Walked...
And Fought For Me... !!!

Even With.....
Her Husband Ya' SEE... !!!

There Were Some ERRORS...
That Lead To... TERROR...

That HURT Her Heart And Soul DEEPLY... !!!
But Also Proved How STRONG She'd Been... !!!

She'll Always Be...
My TRUE Black Queen... !!!

Because of Her STRENGTH...
When She Came To RESENT...

The Man She'd SPENT...........
Her Love.... Upon...

A Strength SO STRONG...
That Our Love Then SHONE... !!!

But Now She's Gone...
Her Spirit Prolongs...
And Helps Me Through...
My Life's ISSUES... !!!

Because of ERRORS...
That I Now Make...

But Now Whenever...
I'm Feeling PRESSURED...
I Remember How...
We Worked TOGETHER... !!!

As Her Life Was Slowly Drowned... !!!
And Know That She'll NEVER Let Me Down... !!!

If ERRORS I Make...
Make Her Feel ASHAMED... !!!

Because of The LOVE...
We STILL Share TODAY... !!!

So Many Trials Are Part of Life...
I've Found Denial...
DOESN'T Help You Slide by...
Those DIFFICULT Times... !!!

Because Trials I've Faced...
Have Made My Game......
Flow... TIGHT And STRAIGHT... !!!

From Girls In My World...
To Places I've Worked...

I've REFUSED To Be ******...
Or Let Chickens... DISTURB...

The Vibe That I...
Have Lived To FIND...

DISMISSES Trials.....................
And...... HARDER Times........... !!!

From EVER Becoming...
A Part of Something...
I'm... PARTY TO... !!!

See Trials Have PROVED...
That Who You CHOOSE...
To Be Down With Your Moves...

Is Key To KEEPING Your Vibe COOL... !!!

Instead of Making Moves With Crews...
Whose Interests Do NOT INCLUDE YOU... !!!

THINK It Through... !!!
Trials You've Been Through...
And ERRORS... PROVE...
That We Must Take Note...
of... Our Life's Quotes...

Because Our DUD Notes...
Are Things That... SHOW...

A BETTER WAY For Us To Go... !!!

Because As I Said...
At The Beginning of...
This INSPIRED Poem.... !!!!!

One of Life's GREATEST Correctors...
When You Think About It... IS...

...... Trial And Error......

Ya Know There Is This THING...
That TRULY STINKS... !!!
That Some Just CAN’T Resist...
  
The Bliss of IGNORANCE... !!!
  
And How It Now Functions...
In Today’s... Humans... !!!
  
It’s NOT All of Us... !!!
  
But There CLEARLY Are Some...
Who Think The Rest Are Dumb...
  
And Just CANNOT See...
THEIR Jealousy And Envy...
And... INCREDIBLE Lack...
of... Compassion... !!!
  
When It Runs In Blacks...
Some Resort To Guns...
Or REFUSE To Act...
With Respect For Those...
Who Are Quick To EXPOSE...
How Their Ignorance Flows...
  
Because They Hate To Be Told...
How It Is That They Roll...
  
So Choose To Behave...
Like A TRAITOROUS SLAVE... !!!
Whose Brotherly Love...
Becomes A Thing That STUNS... !!!
  
When They Cannot Agree...
To Just... DISAGREE... ?!?
And Show RESPECT...
Instead of IGNORANCE...
  
Especially When...
Their Attempt To Be Friends...
Proves To Be A LIE...
That They HIDE BEHIND...
Because of Their PRIDE... !!!
  
So Of Course They Then TRY...
To DISTURB Your CHI... !!!
..... INCESSANTLY..... !!!
  
By Using Moves...
Like... Ku Klux Guys...
  
And Even Wives...
Choose To Stand Behind...
These IGNORANT Types...
Who Are TRULY SLY... !?!
  
You See Ignorant Minds...
Let Friendships DIE... !!!
  
Because of Vibes...
Where Their Thinking Incites...
The Type of Fights...
That Children Like...
  
Or The HATEFUL Type...
That Drives Racist Whites... !!!
  
But This Also Applies...
To... ALL Skin Types...
Within Our Human Kind... !!!!!
  
It’s A Flaw That You Find...
  
In The KNOW IT ALLS...
Who Seem To Ignore...
That’s Right Their Own Flaws... !!!
  
Always Running Their Jaws...
With The Type of Talk...
That Makes Them Squawk... !!!
  
Just Like Chickenhawks...
Or... Foghorn Leghorns... !!!
  
The Type of Jokers...
With Standards Lower...
Than Donald Trump Voters... !!!
  
Constant BOASTERS...
And YES ALL KNOWERS...
  
Whose Ignorance Smoulders...
And Burns Away...
WITHOUT ANY SHAME... !!!
  
The Type Who Make Claims...
That Real Fakes DON’T MAKE...
  
Imma' Say That AGAIN...
  
The Type Who Make CLAIMS...
That REAL Fakes Don’t Make... !?!
  
Always Trying To Do Good...
But Look Under Their Hood...
And What You’ll Find...
Are HYPOCRITICAL Vibes...
That They Choose To DENY... !!!
  
TRULY... INCREDIBLE People...
Who Define The Word Feeble... !!!
  
In The DEEPEST Way... !!!
  
But DON’T MISTAKE...
These Words I Say... !!!
  
As Meaning That They...
Don’t Make Their Way...
Within This Life...
Because Many Have Wives...
And Have Yes Bred Child...
  
And Have Built A Life...
Where They’re Living Alright...
  
What I’m Saying Is THIS...
They EXHIBIT Things...
In How They Think...
That You SHOULDN’T Dismiss... !!!
  
Because There’s...
Something AMISS... ?!?
In People Who ACT...
Like They Shouldn’t Retract...
Or... Apologise For...
The Type of Talk...
That Runs From Their Jaws...
  
That Is... WEAK And FLAWED... !!!
  
That Helps Them To Function...
Like Some Kind of PUNK... !!!
  
Who CLAIMS To Deal In LOVE... !!!
  
When Their Form of LOVE...
Truly STINKS Like SKUNKS... !!!
  
Like The Skin They Live In...
That Embraces THIS THING...
  
That Is Simply THIS...
  
“ The Bliss of Ignorance “...

FORGET The FORMAT Jack... !!!
Are Your Brain Cells CRACKED... ?

Or Maybe Just Maybe...
What Your Saying Is...
..... “ Basically “.....

That I’m A Little Too Brainy...
For Your Limited Hating...

Because What You’re Stating...
Shows Thinking That’s BLATANT...

PROOF That Your Views...
Are Limited... To Those of A Fool... !!!!

Who EXACTLY... Are These TOOLS... !?!

Who Think They Can Critique...
How It Is That I Present...
... My Style of Poetry... !!!

The Way It’s Presented...
Is Something... UNIQUE...
Cos I’m NOT One of The Sheep... !!!

Who Only Bleats...
A Heap of Resentment...
For Where They Be... !!!

STUCK IN... “The Pen”...
Where Their Thoughts Are Kept...
LOCKED In Their HEADS... !!!

Because They're LOCKED...
So Quickly Get SHOCKED... !!!
By Those Whose Thoughts...
Are FREE To IMPORT...

Thinking BEYOND Society’s Con...

of How Things Should Be Done...
Because Its CLEAR Right Now...
That Things Are Going WRONG... !!!!!

It’s AMAZING Today...
How People Sway...

With EVERY New TREND...

But Can’t Take Styles...
That DO NOT Profile...

A Wish To... “Fit In”...
With... EVERYTHING... ?!?

There Are Certain Things...
That We ALL RESIST... !!!

Which I Guess Is Why...
I’m Writing This Script...
Because Some ***’...
Felt The Need To Explain...

That The Way I Display...
My Poetic Wordplay...
HURT EVERY PART...
of Their Lil’ Brain... !!!

Sometimes It’s TRUE... !!!
If You’ve Got Nothing Positive...
To... Express Or Say...

Say... NOTHING AT ALL... !!!
And Hold Back Your Thoughts... !!!

Because Your Jaws...
REALLY Need To Stay SHUT... !!!

Or YES These Days...
STOP Tapping Away...
Like Some Internet Chump...

Because You Seem To Really Need...
Something That Feeds Mentalities......
Who Like Slaves Do EXACTLY...
... What They’re Told... !!!

So DON’T DARE Go To Creative Zones...
Where What You Create...
ISN’T Something CLONED...
From... EONS AGO... !!!!!!

EXPANDING Your Mind...
Might Help You Find...... ?!?

A Level ABOVE....
All This Routine Stuff...
That LIMITS Freedom... !!!

FREEDOM To BE...
Who You WANT TO BE...  !!!

That’s Right... UNIQUE... !!!
  
So I’ll End This Piece...
By Saying Your Style...
SHOULDN’T Fit Profiles... !!!

Because of Comments...
That Are IGNORANCE Led...

That Give Evidence...
That A Lot of Humans...

Are Just...

“ Sheople’ In The Pen “...
