15-Minute Implosion

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
