HURTS ME SOUL

By INTENSE

(Inspired by Lupe Fiasco)

I'm so affected/

How I neglected/

Your pain and feelings/

Told a lie to withhold the truth/

Came back and pulled the tooth/

HURTS ME SOUL

No hope just despair/

Made fun of U about ya hair/

Cheated on you with no purpose/

Now I feel so hopeless/

HURTS ME SOUL

Time Spent on late nite conversations/

Connections linking relations/

So I pray for forgiveness/

Yet double standards inspired this/

HURTS ME SOUL

Now I have to change my arrangement/

Or lose out on a future engagement/

No ring needed or symbol required/

White dress black tux so uninspired/

No wedding bells or rice in place/

Unconditional Love in dire need of space/

HURTS ME SOUL

All beginnings have an End/

What French Films call FIN/

Finding Forever was our love/

But Love was conquered by distrust/

And without trust there is no L.O.V.E./

HURTS ME SOOOOOOOUUUUULLLLLL!

Thanks LUPE!

Heaven/Hell

HEAVEN

By INTENSE

Through the deep syrupy fortifications
I feel the moist evading the cracks
HEAVEN
The sounds of delight rang out
Louder than a cannon in WWII
HEAVEN
UP & DOWN Side II Side
Harder Faster Harder Faster
HEAVEN
Time elapses with great nuance
Similar to a pencil removed from an eraser
A sharp tip shaped by Sugar Walls of perfection
HEAVEN
Angels in the sky with wings so eloquently
Flying through clouds silently in ecstasy
Irrevocably my mate of Soul asks me…
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?
I simply replied…
HEAVEN!

HELL

By INTENSE

The joy has ended after an emotional climax
Reality kickin in faster than the speed of light
HELL
Removal of the sheets
Death, murderers, and killers in the streets
HELL
Transitioning back into the wardrobe
Devilish deeds are heating our globe
HELL
Blood rushes back to my brain
Diseases, infections, viruses uncontained
HELL
Consciousness rude awakens my thoughts
Sadly populations spreading venomous darts
HELL
As I closed the bedroom door with sorrow
Another female affected with no hope 4 tomorrow
HELL
It’s now time to take responsibility for your actions
10 seconds worth of pleasure is now Lucifer’s satisfactions
HELL
So let this be a reminder and prefix
Women unable to give birth with cancer in their cervix
HELL
The human race now extinct
Abbadon, Angra Mainyu, Beelzebub, Satan has finally won
HELL ON EARTH!!!

The New Spike Lee Film based on a true story? Actually the book by Ulysees Lee tells the true story titled "The Employment of Negro Troops" by the African-American historian. The film looks good but may be fiction more than fact.

WOMB of MAN: naM edaM

WOMB of MAN: naM edaM
By : INTENSE


Womb of Man! Womb of Man? Wooommmmmmbbbbman! Wo-MAN?

Socially-Constructed me

Stronger than any Hu-Man

Tough and bulky like He-Man

But Im Man Made

Taught to be physical with my hands

But closed minded with thy thoughts

World handed to thee with a silver spoon

Even Wombman are apart of me

Their name continues the illusion

Man gives birth!

Nah! Man just the seed

Women are the creators

We just succeed

But men hide behind this phasod

Trying to play God

Scared to show emotions or tearz

Hiding behind their fearz

Being labeled weaker than a woman

Half of a man or just a boy

Where's the fucking joy

Feasibly Frightened For Female Traits

Playin our cardz right: completing the Straights

Flush, It All goes down the toilet

With the rest of the shit! and lies

Men do things they despise

Just 2 fit in

My struggles being a man concealed within

Like a Ford Built tough or Chevy like a rock; rigid & ruff

But man never has an option to say enuff

Pressured to deal with the smoke; blow every puff

Pass puff puff pass puff puff

Passed down from generation 2 generation

Lies untold creating tradition

Oh! and did I mention

Man Made creation

False Position

Twistedly Turned To Tarnish Transition

Invisible Man like Ralph Ellison's great invention

Not to be seen nor heard through any hype

Listened from a stereo-type

That has man trapped in a cage

Full of Rage Against The Machine

Even Zack de la Rocha can't escape this Regime

But the time for change is now

Man and woman must adhere to this now

Women need Re-Definition under their own terms

Take control by killing the bacteria and all germs

Patriarchal society created by men in robes

Who wanted nothing more than to keep you controlled probes

Information cannot be gathered with this device

But all men must pay a price

Is it you? Or me?

Never me u see

Cuz I break down barriers

Like East & West Germans did the Berlin wall

Change Gone Come to All

Greater than a Cooke name Sam

Okonkwo wanted a man's crop the sweet candy Yam

Things Fall Apart but it’s up 2 you to play your part

So what’s it gonna be the red pill or the blue pill

Cuz im sick and tired of this matricks

Silly Rabbit in my world gets the Tricks

While kids finally learn to be Mixed

Born Black and Mexican full of pride

Best of both worlds is how I reside

Never truly accepted by either one

Lacking melanin in my white slave master skin

Unable to speak the Spanish language

So I create my own term BLAXICAN

Infusing both cultures at my own will and choosing

One day I wakeup Black the next Mexican

Unfortunately it doesn’t work out that way

Creating Confusing Conflicting Consciousness

Societal Spinning a web of lies

Even a Spider gets trapped & hypnotized

Open up your minds let your mind be retaught

Get free before its too late and theres no battle to be faught

Wake Up out of the Womb

Your Song, its needs its own tune

Closed Shoe Boxes

CLOSED SHOE BOXES

(FINALLY A PERFECT FIT)
By: INTENSE

Open Shoe Boxes stacked so high in my closet
They reach the ceiling with no room for deposit

my New Kicks is furious
Tired of hearing about old memories
Of football games, basketball games, and time running to the sun
new Kicks want it just to be us (have our own fun)
No more reflections of Nike, Adidas, and Jordan's being mentioned
Especially when its just her on my own feet
this is our time, Center Court
Standing ovation at every sport
So I throw in the towel and let my old shoes go
out with the old and in with the New Kicks
Gave up all my number 1 draft picks
Just so we could be together
and yet I still failed to mention
Justifaible Proposition: She feels right on my feet
I can jump higher, run faster, and create balance like a Zen master
without any worries or diaster
Shoes Soles, Soothe Souls
Relxaing everday pressures off my heels
my Arch be golden like McDonalds meals; I'm Loving it
Is this really a Perfect fit?
But its hard to close those shoe boxes of the past
im not trying to wear the same pair errrrrrrdayyyy
Got to diversify and play the game so huuuurrrraayyyy
But why so much confusing in choosing the right shoes
cuz I swear I've paid my dues
But I love my Jordan Xs, Adidas Shell Toes, and Fila shoes
Shoooooootttt I got a different pair 4 errrryday of the year
365 pairs to be exact; I fucking swear!!!!
But my heart cant take it no more...nor my feet
In and out of shoe boxes so much
that they're worn down from the screet
Open shoe boxes forever closed
My New Kicks is where its at
match all my clothes with every hat
Ready for all situations changing colors for all dimensions
Shit they even Light up at night when I walk in L.A.
gears, Gliding Gracefully so effortlessly
Cleaned out my closet only 1 pair now in my Foot Locker
And I like her!
closed the Shoe Boxes of the past
And put on my NEW KICKS religously as if we're at mass
ASHOE! (AMEN)
Finally A Perfect Fit!
