VIZIONARI.

I feel like I'm closer to shining

I feel like my past is behind me

I feel like GOD is behind me

All the doubt and blasphemy was bad for me sometimes I just feel like crying.

I feel like I'm living in the moment

I feel like there's overdue atonement

Nights of walkin' home from work amidst LA crisis, 100 days 100 nights in

Goosebumps on my arms sweat burning my eyes n cars driving slow I feel like they gon' start firin'

 I feel like all I see is fornication money and marijuana

I feel like indulging I must admit I wanna

Lead but without contradiction, Satan tryna drown us in our own addiction

I feel like I'm overthinkin', Sometimes I don't feel like speakin'

Sometimes I just feel like wreakin'

Havoc grabbing a rifle or 9 millimetin'

Justice for Trayvon I'm still seekin'

Revenge for Oscar, Mike, Ezell, Kalief and

The list goes on and on and on I feel like Badu should sing it

 I feel like GOD tried to make me stronger

I used to feel I could go no longer 

No longer do I feel like a foreigner

Four-in-a morning I'm reflecting on life

I feel like to release the pain all I can do is write

 I feel like money is beneath me

I feel like it can not reach me

I feel like this dream is bigger than me

I feel like K D O T

Trying to remain steady, head above water in a pool filled with vultures

I feel like my downfall is my occasional lack of focus

Folk we must stay steadfast and pray to the Lord to fill us with wisdom

I feel like we run this shit, and not some wack ass clown with a toupee and no lips

Who try to dictate who we can and not communicate with

It's Fuck Donald Trump forever, remember he ain't shit

Love one another, and share peace with the world

I see you baby.

I see who you are.

I'm in love with your mind.

I'm infatuated with the common thoughts we both convey.

See, you understand me for who I am. You see the side no one does.

You can attest to my strengths, but also my insecurities.

A lioness in the jungle, fighting for hers...

 A sophisticated mind...  Beauty at it's simplest form...

Yet, there's pain in your eyes.

Years of loving someone to the edge of the Earth, with no reciprocation.

Times where someone else was put above you....

If you allow me the chance, I hope to mend your broken-heart.

I can't wait to meet you.

      Friday, I was fortunate enough to witness a small portion of Shaq's statue being revealed outside of the Staples Center. To be honest, I didn't even know about it until the day of. Coincidentally I got off work at 3 that day, which was around the same time the festivities began. It's needless to add how much traffic and commotion there was, with tourists, fans - on top of the regular flow of a Friday afternoon in downtown.

        As I was a child, my family would have watch parties often.  Any popular boxing match, or SuperBowl or whatever. That is when I was introduced to the game-changing duo of Shaq & Kobe. I was 6 or 7 years old, witnessing history. Each year they won, I became more amazed at the talent and chemistry these two men had.

            Personally, I am beyond happy that out of all the teams "The Diesel" played for, he feels that this is HOME. It felt great to see the city come together for a celebratory reason, almost close to a parade.  In all biased-ness, (if that's a word) Shaq is the most dominant big man to have ever touched the basketball floor. We love him, and we appreciate the memories.
