INTENSE pick for BEST PICTURE: Oscar Worthy Film
WOMB of MAN: naM edaM
By : INTENSE
Womb of Man! Womb of Man? Wooommmmmmbbbbman! Wo-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

Closed Shoe Boxes
By: INTENSE
Open Shoe Boxes stacked so high in my closet
They reach the ceiling with no room for deposit
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!

INTENSE POETRY: Nov 9th 2005
The earth with all its power and mystery
So many people that God made to abide
The love that X and Y had
When Capricornz Collide!!!
The fights and feuds were harsh
Y had 2 decide
The love once shared between the 2
When Capricornz collide!!!
The pain has now been washed away
The love once shared has died
X and Y will be an example
When Capricornz collide!!!
There can always be another chance
The decisions is left 4 God 2 decide
X and Y finally realized
When Capricornz collide

HOMECOMING!
I'm finally going home 2 the BIG EASY
And it ain't Easy
Yeah I'm a fan of Lil Weezy
But its so hard
Looking at the boulevard
Where I grew up with pace
6130 Providence Place
See dis be the 9th ward
My grandparents place
Emily and Roland Evans
Strong Black African Americans
Taught me 2 be proud 2 be Black
DISCLAIMER: and MEXICAN!
"You light wit white skin but at heart you Black,
So don't you ever 4get that fact"
My gramps and granny would tell me dat
Rest in Peace!
But there ain't no peace
So many dead & deceased
By the Hurricane
Not Denzel as Rubin Carter
See this shitz so much harder
A punch 2 da face
1 Hitter Quitter 1836 fatalities
All cuz of 1 agency: FEMA
Responsible for Hurricane Katrina
U know what it (FEMA) stands for????
Find Evey Mexican Available
Nah I heard it stands for Fix Eveything My Ass
Especially after the blast
Yeah I said it Blast
The explosion! how u miss that so fast
Cuz it wasn't the storm dat took the levees
Fat rich old white men with there belly's
Waiting for an opportunity to take back the land
They tried in 1965 man
Hurricane Betsy Yeah we remember
But that was President Johnson not Georgia Bush
So fuck Michael D. Brown
After what he did to my town
But what goes up most come down
175 miles per hour
Winds so fast with so much power
Thousands displaced from their homes
Packed into the New Orleans Super Dome
Ill treated with lack of respect
But I'm still coming home
See this be my birthplace famous for:
Jazz, Gumbo, Jambalaya, Etouffée, Cafe Au Lait, and muthafuckin Beignets
And we be swerving when drivin on bourbon STREET
And it be the Sheet, I mean da Shit
While on CANAL, goin wild
Mardi Gras: oh its a party y'all
With the Zulu parades
Niggaz on 24inch blades sittin on Escalades
So many escapades!
And now NBA All Star Weekend
What were they thinkin????
I'm coming home again
And I miss her
And she misses me
The best recipe...
HOMECOMING!
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
NEVER FORGET HURRICANE KATRINA!!!

My Heart
Monday, January 28, 2008
Her Space (I Give It 2 Her)
I've got to give her space
even tho I yearn & miss her face
Time away brings great loneliness
exactly reminding me of what I miss
her space is necessary for her success & mine
allowing us to achieve our goals and dreams
but i'd rather give them up to be with you
atleast focus on only your dreams to be closer to you
days and nights go by slower than an incense,
burning on its last scent
the flame lit eternally
but I must give you your space
what is space????
Is it an interval or period of time?
OR
Is it the set of points or elements satisfying specified geometric conditions?
NO!!!!!
IT IS THE LOVE created through reflections and memories dedicated to you
making hugs, kisses and conversations reinvigorating
ever so significant for our relationships growth
The space between does not separate us but brings us closer
So I give her infinite Space
not found by any dimension or time in the Universe
Planets, Stars, Comets are all unparallell
Her Space (I Give It To Her)
Hypocrite!
Yup I Spit
