Atlas did a hand stand and bullets whizzed past Jesse Jackson's ears
Blood showed the way to the polls and all of it was red
The soft winds of change blow quietly and are often taken for granted
Within is heat held that rises as it expands and widens, full of
surprises
Triggers pull the plug on nature's plea for patience
Motherly love knows no bounds
Willing partners place a peacock's fan over coy smiles implied but never stated
rocks rust over time
ringlets of age curl around a singularity
particles of faith trace geometric precision into and out of time, strands that contain instructions for life itself in every dimension when all is in good health
"The Hiphop community exists as an international culture of consciousness that provides all races, tribes, religions, and styles of people, a foundation for the communication of their best ideas and works. Hiphop Kulture is united as one multi-skilled, multi-cultural, multi-faith, multi-racial people, committed to the establishment and the development of peace."

This is one a tha best I've read from you in awhile, G, (though I have been kinda absent)....and that's saying a lot for a poet like you.
You've inspired me to write something a little more political... I been writing too much about my own depression, and my poetry now seems to be only for myself, and nobody else. I've crossed the line between personal and private. That wasn't my goal when I first started out writing......thanks for kicking me back on track.

My favourite lines: > >Triggers pull >the plug on nature's >plea for patience
I think this piece is excellent. I love the politics of the poem and how they are written to be incisive but not overbearing. Also, I like the short line format, which lends some urgency and gives a more direct feel.
