In honor of that month you know the February misnomer. Kulture. 1st posting.

This meeting is called to order because we don’t have time to dissect the crimes we observe against humanity.
This meeting is called to order to address the proliferation of religious allegory which places the responsibilities of man’s downfall upon his lust for woman or their influence in his decisions.
Like biting the apple was a matter of choice and not because of the suggestion by the woman/gift of the creator.


This meeting is called to order because in some countries of the world a woman engaged in pre-marital sex is stoned to death and the man goes unpunished, that is his life is not endangered.
This meeting is called to order because my people called by my name have no idea who I am or why I was sent here.


This meeting is called to order because in this age of information we still sing in the chorus with fools who believe that to question, challenge, and protest is unpatriotic rather revolutionary in a society where goose stepping towards war is the only alternative.
Where my sons are in a foreign country whose language we don’t begin to understand and whose culture and religion is considered by many unhallowed as if belief in one God/spirit supreme is unholy and or un-Christian.


This meeting is called to order because here the wretched of the earth is being redefined by young Black women dying of AIDS which is preventable by making correct choices.
This meeting is called to order because homicide, genocide, and suicide have become the mantra of too many Black people worldwide as they engage in rituals of unprotected sex. And sing AIDS can’t touch me.


This meeting is called to order because I learned recently that during the middle passage only the cowards survived to become enslaved in the new world. Thank you Orren I & Von.
And unfortunately too many of their progeny are sometimes still cowards who refuse to assume full responsibility for their destiny.
Looking instead to blame Massa because we forgot how to make our own clothes
(Hillfiger’s niggers), build our own homes, produce and distribute our own food.
We eat more fish than any other ethnic group but where are our fishing fleets?


This meeting is called to order in remembrance of the time that we were sailor/navigators of ships instead of barbeque cooks.
This meeting is called to order because we continue to be enamored by the okey doke, give me a toke, and basketball is my ticket out of the ghetto.


This meeting is called to order so that we can denounce ghetto as our neighborhood and pronounce get to.
While being about our business of more than survival as we clarify, decry, and purify our tainted minds when they don’t address what we can become when we work, love and support each other.


This meeting is called to order because we hold too many damn meetings,talking loud and signifying nothing as poet/ministers scream sometimes to audiences of dying mutes engaged in voluntary ignorance.


This meeting is called to order because how else can I tell you before I die that I always loved you and believe that you can and will achieve the excellence that is embodied within you. For you my young ones are the only future we as a people have.


AND THAT INCLUDES ALL OF OUR YOUNG OF EVERY HUE CULTURE, RELIGION, AND NATIONALITY.!  AN ELDER HAS SPOKEN.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
