ULit!

Come Trago with me
where a kabal of artists
express Gusto in the Rain
our stories are Urban Literation
making history with spoken word
wielding wisdom like spears
Shaka Zuluesque against ignornace
find us in the MidWest where ports
are more than flea markets not just
Komedy City but also Revolution
a movement seeking solution
like Alaine Locke in Harlem
not for but liberation for those oppressed
this is real life and the world is our stage
the page is just a canvas for us to display
our rage
our joy
our pain
our love
our hate
our struggle
our escape
our story
our experience
our success
with each breath that we exhale
to prevail inthis contest against death
so we reconstruct existence with words
elevating minds to soar above the chaos
like birds spreading their wings to fly
high in the beauty of what many
choose not to embrace therefore
we trace sillouhettes on paper
hoping to affect change now and later...
