I AM SHE
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
The goddess of poetry
No not ERATO! The poetic daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne
I share dreams and intuitions thru expressions of written poetry
And replenish spoken words like Egyptian antiquities
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
Whose dignity was given by queen Nefatari
And Queen of Kemet, who was honored by the Ramsees that ruled the bare land of the African safari
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
The Macedonia Haitian empress
Perfectly designed by gods most famous sculptress
Only to serve one purpose in life, not for beauty but as an influential poetess
She whose presence that seems to illuminate others hearts
Only with her natural essence she’s inspired by many near or far
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
Whose pride was granted by queen Makeda, the queen of Sheba
Who reclaimed that black beauty is a blessing from the motherland AFRICA,
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
Who likes to use her ears for vision
And only need one case of ink as fuel to take u on a private mission
She who is mentally and socially divine by life’s unpredictable manifestations
She who only need a ball point ink and paper to start a quick intellectual masturbation
Followed by a warm concentration
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
Who clangs on history and memory lanes
She who is able to distinguish the realest from the lames, the cans and the cants
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
Who sometimes like to kick on some 4 inch heels, sit back and be real
And expect her nigga to still conquer her royalty after stumbling several hills
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
A mother raising a man
I teach him to shake after u pee and put that dick back in ur pants
I preach to him to cherish every bitch with a part in her pants as if she is that QUEEN straight from the motherland
I am she ILLUSTRIOUS,,
Who’s different from all the others
ILLUSTRIOUS I AM
the number one poetic motherfucker
-POEM BY ILLUSTRIOUS//JUNE 2004
Through the bloody fields
entwined around the dead bodies
We soon no longer hear the cries
We soon can no longer feel the tries
Thru Haiti’s cries that’s slowly shedding onto sighs
The air is filled with vacant reverberations
Due to all of our lost they say it’s a voodoo castration
That left us impaired according to the nation
Now tell me,,, will they maintain to heal us as foreign inpatients
Or will they get impatient, and say again, GO BACK U DAMN HAITIANS
My name illustrious and this is just an ILLUSTRATION
What is this world is cumin to?
If not now u betta START keeping ur psalms behind u and ur book of revelations in front of u
Cuz u will never knw when its ur time when god will call upon u
I can imagine the death stench
That mimics that passed souls, in the atmosphere inch by inch
I wasn’t there, so I can only cry you a lip synch
lost daughters
SCATTERED IN CONTAMINATED WATERS
lost sons
in da streets with guns
lost mothers
whose hearts has been smothered
with pain that’s worse than a heartbreak
that pierces its soul, stinging harder than the bite of a cobra snake
lost fathers
who lost daughters, and can no longer be able to call upon her
lost kin’s
lost friends
we mourn every death
for every breathe,,,,,,,
that we take
and HAITI U have not been forsaken
oh Haiti don’t cry
im still here by your side
and when our time comes, we will again see our sunshine
oh Haiti don’t cry
im still here by your side
and when our time comes, we will again see our sunshine
oh Haiti don’t cry
im still here by your side
And when our time comes, we will again see our sunshine
Haiti,, I want to lend u my veins
So that way your blood will run thru every Puerto prince city lane
I’m not trying to be very poetic
But thinking bout this shit in Haiti just give me headache
My insides feel intoxicating thinking of when they will stop and leaves us to fend for our self
No pots to piss in, not even a foundation to put this history on the shelf
We no longer have our capital city everything has been diminished
But not too long tho, well soon began to refinish
Haiti, I wanna be ur vocal chords so each of u can be clearly heard
Haiti, I wanna be ur eyes just incase shit just get a lil blurred
Haiti, I wanna take ur throbbing painz and place them on my shoulders
Haiti, I wanna be ur strength to sustain all of ur weaknesses, I’ll be ur holder
Hait,, god hasn’t forgotten about u down here
He’s giving us more strength cuz We have lived and recited every living human being fears
Our scattered bones will help rebuilt our authorities
This will come easy cuz we work harder than the American Priorities
it our time to reach our dreams
With a piece of the American dream,
01.18.2010 the earth gave birth again
to Puerto Prince
This was a creation that had to be known like Jesus birth, long since
Puerto Prince I pray for u
Pétionville I pray for u
Delmas I pray for u
Thomassin I pray for u
Carrefour I pray for u
Haiti I pray for u
Our ashes has been embedded with in the earths core
So we can always be remembered like washed up seashells on the ocean shore
This is a way of how god systematically called us in a horrible type of genocide
So he can have one thousand angels at one time call for all to be his side
Oh Haiti don’t cry
im still here by your side
And when our time comes, we will again see our sunshine
Oh Haiti don’t cry
im still here by your side
And when our time comes, we will again see our sunshine
