About Me

I am a semi-professional poet and soon to be professional theatre practictioner. I am looking for collaboration with Hip Hop artsits who know what Hip Hop is about and don't live off any false notion of egoism or self fufilling plans. I'm a lefty, becoming increasingly frustrated in what is possibly the most apathetic time and place to possibly live in. I hate rascism and cronyism, but love collaboration and interesting, talented or at least genuine people. Please everyone Stand Up, Rise Up, Live Right, Speak Openly and most Importantly THINK.

My Interests

Poetry, reading, human rights, sports.

I'd like to meet:

Poets, musicians, artists all all kind. Also people who are interested in Philosophy/Politics...and people who are just niceThe people who wrote these lyrices....'Heavens above can this sticky stuff really be love?''The wars they think they're fighting were all over long ago, what do they know of England? Only England know.''Well we all might be just a one big soul, well it looks that way to me, everywhere we go in the day or night, that's where i'm gonna be!''I put mean no harm, nor put fault on anyone that lives in a fault, but it's alright ma...if i can't please them!''The Motorcycle Black Madonna, Three wheeled Gipsy Queen, with her silver studded phantom caused the great flannel dwarf to scream, as he weeps two wicked birds of prey, who will pick up all his breadcrumb sins.''It's a lonesome, haunted feeling that don't do no one no good, and everything i've been saying, you could say it just as good. You're right from your side, I'm right from mine, we are both one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind''And all my friends and all their jobs and all their bloody waste!! There's only one way of life and that's your own!!!''Early one morning while making the rounds i took a shot of cocaine and i laid my woman down!''Love is not a victory march. It's just a cold and a broken Halleluyah.'and most importantly...'AND THE BEAT GOES ON AND THE BEAT GOES ON AND THE BEAT GOES OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMM'
