Name: January Martinez
Location:Hawaii...way out in the middle of the Pacific
Age:27

Personal Info: super mixed breed ..claiming humanity. Mother of an 8 yr old son who carry's the light so strong that his teachers are not sure what to do with him. This was my experience growing up in the public school system. We both share the type of creative fire that makes us want to be heard...want to express our concepts of truth...want to be funny and enjoy life...Being pressed to be quiet made the fire grow hotter and the juice of creativity boiled over into poetry. I began writing when I was 12 religously...though I do have great memories of being 6 and writing letters to my mom when I was angry with her Funny, I also remember spelling my stepdads name with a lower case B for Bill because I thought that starting out a name with a lower case letter was one of the biggest offences any one could give. REVOLUTION! Ahh..Through my journey I have revelations of beautiful and saddening things. Revelations of deep, powerful and Godlike things. My friends thought it funny that I would often start out sentences with "Hey guys, I had a revelation last night" So Bam! on stage I go by Mc Revelation....I write poetry when I am super charged by some great experience. Screenwriting has become another wonderful form of creativity that I am having the joy of learning..Coming to this board has been all about timing. Okay Player called me out one night at 3am when a poem jumped into a dream I was having. I've checked out the boards before...Big supporter of the artists...SHout out to the Lovely Jean Grae!!!...and the Fab DJ Bazarro!!!.......So here I am ....love the upliftment I see going on with the Okay Family.. Hey Stars, thanks for having me here. Bless!!

My subject on
Controversy is: How "THEY" affect our societies through our youth.......



11 Years Old
----------

I've been here before
Lost in a maze of too many thoughts
Bound in a cage of unfeeling
Too much feeling
Ripping
Breaking
Hurting
Caring

I've been here before
11 years old
A Young
Sad
Angry
Little
Girl
Figuring it all out

World pains
Hunger pains
Anger pains
Jealousy about nothing real
For real

Books of Laughter
and confusion
I am seeking
Jah kingdom
Wading through the B.S. of Babylon
Trying to Trap my mind
with fancy cars
Expensive caviar
Cigars
and booze
Sexy women
in high healed boots

My mind's been tainted
I am fainted
on the smell
of your sweat
The brow you worked your bet

Slavery
Corporate take overs
Monopoly Makers
Tricking children
with your fake layovers
of niceness
Can you brighten this world
or will you continue
to rape the could
that would
If you gave Love a chance
Life is for Freedom's dance

But you're trying to hold me back
Trying to make me fat
and greedy
I am the needy
Needful of things
that set the youth free
We're tired of nonsense
We're tired of making you sense
how we are feeling
You will know us NOW
No more hiding

I AM AN ANGRY LITTLE GIRL
Eleven years old
You've raped me
and held me captive
of your Bad Brave
new world
I've curled up under
your foolish disguise
Now Babylon
YOU I despise
I will take your riches
and spoil your gold
Restore the Kingdoms
of old
and speak for us
until the story has been told
and told
and never forgotten.



Traaa Laa Laa...
