Natural Born Poets Pablo Cipher_O Martinez
We were born in the wrong dimension
all poets belong
in the ensuing song of ascension
beyond right and wrong
rightfully going beyond what most fear to mentionall for the chance to be - chance to see
a righteous reality
as every reality is rightly and verily
a manifestation
inside of a vessel of creation fractal-ing freelyevery vision we behold is a breaker of the mold
nothing can hold us down
I say in speeches of soothe-sayto the sound of silence
in dreams venturing upon screams into roarshow we wanted to be more and we became more
climbing ever higher across the wirehaving something certainly uncanny an ability to rewire
beings of passion and desire
ink freeing seeing into a sinking into free thinking***

Author’s Note:
The other day I was watching the movie Juice with Tupac…
I remembered when it first came out…
Walking with a street gang of juvenile delinquents…
There were a few who wanted to be the leaders…
I remember one who was quoting the movie…
(At the time I didn’t know about the movie…)
He was really doing up the attitude…
Thinking back…
I know his father…
I wonder how much his father instructed
the attitude and mannerisms…
The values…
What means the world to you…
Thinking how culture gets passed down…
How culture is a product the mind…
How my dad emphasized the importance
of being a good person…
Above all things…
My dad was very much a free thinking
breaker of social norms…
In school he had to wear his sisters
hand me downs…
He painted her pink shoes to play basketball…
Later he would include colors in his wardrobe
that are culturally associated with women…
He would wear whatever he wanted..:)
He had a truly eclectic style…
Thinking back…
I realize he left it for me to have freedom
of thought…
He never said do this or do that…
He said most people you meet are people
you do not want to emulate…
I think very early on I saw very deeply how
everyone was playing a role…
Roles foreseen and predesigned…
I always had a thing for authenticity
and finding the real of it…
I remember when I realized in junior high
that I would have to go it alone…
When I left the gang…
To be myself…
Without the contamination of the masses…
It was a profound aloneness and sadness…
For a lot of my life…
But it was all for a purpose…
I acknowledge that I continued to walk
in the steps of criminality at times…
For my own reasons…
But I did it by my lonely…
I did it for my own reasons...
I walked and walk the path of madness and genius…
The place where the lightning is…
Poet and magician of letters…
Who will knock you out in broad daylight if I see you..:)

I think us poets tend to connect with others at a higher level of understanding, even if we don’t know each other personally. I think we’re able to perceive and somehow put it into words.
Sounds like your father was a strong individual, with solid convictions as to who he was and wanted to be.
Thank you for sharing those notes.
