• 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 mention


      all 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 freely


      every vision we behold is a breaker of the mold

      nothing can hold us down
      I say in speeches of soothe-say

      to the sound of silence
      in dreams venturing upon screams into roars


      how we wanted to be more and we became more

      climbing ever higher across the wire

      having 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.
