A Puppet's Plea

another piece I wrote yesterday, much different from my last one as you can see lol =D

A Puppet's Plea


You are the all powerful puppeteer
I am the unfinished, aging puppet
Fix me!
I beg of you my master; fix me to your liking
I yearn to be real, I yearn to be full
I hear your melody
I see your beauty
But
My master, I have no feet
Please cleanse me of this rust
Make me complete
Fill me with your magnificence
So I may dance to your melody
Fill me with your love
So I may see you all around me
Grace me
Beloved master, please Grace me with your touch
Because nothing would be so sweet
So as to dance to rhythm of your beat
You are the epitome of beauty
You are the epitome of magnificence
Your love, unparalleled
Your greatness, immeasurable
I just wish to be your puppet
Make dance me as you please
The feet are yours
The eyes are yours
The body is yours
The earth beneath is yours
All is you, nothing mine
Complete me! Complete me, O my Master! Complete me
This is your unfinished puppet's sincere plea

What a Lady!

aite so, im on the train as usual at 9 in the morning....on my way to work...
and late, as usual.....

just sittin there, writin some rhymes in my head, chillin, kinda sleepy....and im about a stop before my stop.....and this black lady comes up to me, leans in, and says...

"Can i Shake your hand?"..... So im kinda confused at this point but i lend her my hand

we hold a firm handshake for a little bit. (a big confused smile on my face).....

at this point i have no idea whats goin on, or what to say, and then she says again...

" I just wanted to shake your hand".....and so i finally said... "why is that?" (with a big smile on my face)

and she goes, " i know all these people prolly think when you step in the train, that he gonna blow this shit up or somethin, but i know.....this world is sad.....its just how it is, so i just wanted to shake your hand"

so i said to her, " well thank you, appreciate it."

at this point it was both our stops and we were gettin out....she went left, i went right......

and that was it. But the lady lightened up my day alot more. she kinda reminded me of my middle school teacher, Mrs. Wilson, ahh i loved Mrs. Wilson.....

wish i had more time to talk to this lady though.....that was very sweet of her.

thank you Lady in the brown!

Damn and this is my Homeland?

Yo man after a month long tour of my homeland, my nation, my dirt, I realize that this is definately not my country. Definately not a place in which my people, my koum can breathe the breath of freedom and continue thier existence with dignity.

Everywhere you look not only is the stench and clutter of trash so evident but rather more painful is the stench of humanity, the foul fragrance emitted by the residents' approach to life and the filthy lifestyle persued. And damn these are "my people"?

Lies, deciet, betrayal, lewdness, despair, seems like a bad hindi movie plot. But on the contrary these words were realized by yours truly Da GodFather. Damn this place needs a baptism, urgently.

Man on the opposite of Chardhi Kala, I heard and saw Thendi Kala (downwards spirits).
"Man this is how it is here," "This is how it goes". This is all I heard when I screamed in response to the conditions I saw. Nigga, jigga, playa, kid, son, whatever u callin urself... It is this way cuz u let it be this way.

Conditions dont arise from nowhere, but are allowed to surface. And I will be damned if I am one of those that "allow" these conditions to continue and wither away at my land.

But a sense of hope... the youth although engrossed in drugs, because of the systemic eradication techniques of the indian nation and the joblessness that permeates throughout, still have a yearning for something better. Still have that respect for the great general of the panth, the one that awoke the koum, the heartbeat for the youths, Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindrawale.

What do we do? Where do we go. Questions posed by many, but GNE shall step in. Provide true unadultarated lyrics and song. Endeavor to spark the spirit of revolution and empower our land, our home, our people. And this is a minor synopsis of the situation at hand.

Badshah Ya Baghi

King or Revolutionary --- I dont see slave written anywhere? do u kid?

Apathy

a piece I wrote a lil while ago...

Apathy

every day a new baby dies
every day a mother cries
every day bombs shell away
every day governments betray

every day people live with hope and pray
every day military delivers white bouquets
every day new promises are made
every day street folk begging for aid

every day slept in comfortable beds
every day victimized souls slept in sheds
every day driving hip cars
every day innocent persons behind bars

every day salute the flag's stars
every day on the flag a new scar
every day we spend sitting around
every day innocent civilians shot down

every day people are dying
every day there is a new crime
every day tragedy's got a new name
every day people dying in its game

every day, every day, every fucking day
i can't fall asleep, cuz my soul feels prey
no i aint paranoid, nor am i turnin gray
becomming inactive and apathetic
is of what im afraid

im afraid cuz people with apathy
are this planet's biggest disease
while people are murdered, they sit like trees
atleast a tree is there giving life
they just sit still, watching people go through strife
don't know what kinda cold heart they got within
but givin birth to them is a mother's biggest sin

i don't understand how these people sit and watch
go to bed thinkin nothing of what they saw
i wanna hurl at thought of injustice they help commit
by being apathetic and silence's little bitch
God gave you a brain and a mouth with an intent
quit sitting there quietly with yo ass bent
get up and use your intellect, its a God-given present
don't waste it like you do every other cent

can't believe you can sit there watching crimes
gettin pleasure watching babies murdered and mothers crying
fuckin jackin off to sistas gettin raped and dying
if it was up to me, for all your apathetic crimes
i would shoot yo ass point blank,
to God's court send you flying

yeah people with apathy
are this planet's biggest disease
cuz every day innocent people are killed
and government acts of genocide fulfilled
while people sit there on their asses thrilled
to them it has become entertaining tv drama
tell me how much would you enjoy,
if gettin raped was yo momma
now i know you ready to pull out yo shotty
why the fuck am i dissin yo mommy
but before you do that,
tell my why you murdering God's beauty
by not speaking against injustice
and homicidin with apathy

Ok so, this weekend other than celebrating the eagles loss and my housemates' 21st birthday....Me and SuratYaar took a little trip to the SUrat SIkh Conference in NY on Sunday NIght.
We basically rolled to the Open Mic Night, so we can spread some GNE talent to our fellow brothers and sisters.

SO, we got there...and all i have to say is WOWWW....the talent there, present in that room that night, was Outstanding....AMAZING talent! Heard from a Sista by the name of Lakhpreet Kaur, and she just Blew away the audience.....Also had buncha comedians, Amar Bhalla and His Wife Delhi(i think thas how u spell it). Narinder Singh, and a few more singhs.

All in All, it was a great night/early morning.....everything from the talent to the inspiration to the snacks to the laughs to the jokes to the insomnia....ahhaha....everything was A-1 quality....

again, much love to everyone that was at the conference...and a special thanks to the organizers for givin us the opportunity...

I Guess we have 379,000,000,000 to spare....

the smartest thing bush has ever said.....
"Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me,"


Well, last night the President Bush and his administration ordered the deployment of more than 20,000 troops into Iraq in an attempt to "complete unfinished business". And Robert Gates suggests that president bush do a total increase in the two services of 92,000 soldiers and Marines over the next five years.

your thoughts......please feel free to start commenting...

Happy Gurpurab!

Yo, Fist Of all, A Very Happy Gurpurab To everyone out there!

ahhhh yes, the birth-day of one of the Most Revolutionary people to ever step onto this world...and leave his mark like none other.
The one we know as OOGS ( the Original Gangsta Guru Gobind)....ahahah

but on a serious note, to say the least about Guru Gobind Singh he " infused the spirit of both sainthood and solider in the minds and hearts of his followers to fight oppression in order to restore justice, peace, righteousness (Dharma) and to uplift the down-trodden people in this world. It is said that after the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the tenth Master declared that he would create such a Panth (Sect) which challenge the tyrant rulers in every walk of life to restore justice, equality and peace for all of mankind."

So with that being said, It is up to US (me, you, your frends, this youth, etc).
It is up to US to BE that Panth that challenges today's world in every walk of life to restore justice, equality, and peace for all ok mankind. It is up to YOU and ME to be that Khalsa Panth....Im sick and tired of hearin lame excuses and lame explanations on why people can't be as great of a revolutionary as Guru Gobind Singh. The Guru himself says,
"Mann Tu Jot Saroop Hay, Apnaa Mool Pachaan"
O my mind, YOU ARE Divine, realize your potential

So with that being said, i'll leave you guys with my take....

revolution and realization is somethin we all lack,
the ammo was provided, need YOU to be the gat
and you aint gangsta just cause of the gun in your back
Illusions are a drug, yall f**ke*s addicted to crack.

But dont downplay yoself, all man is created equal
remember that the 10th guru left the power to his people
and he called us SAINTSOLDIERS, cause our MINDS are lethal
I read my peoples history, and im waitin on the sequel

YOU are history in the making, be the diamond in the dirt!
Divinty is inside you, REALIZE what your worth
And nothin comes easy, it takes alotta work
But remember that a Sikh is MADE, got nothin to do with Birth.........
