Vino the true device 
to take me down
shut off the synapses
close the eyes 
opening the soul
making dreams my new reality

a substance free creativity
so easy in my being
i allow it as heavenly message delivery
substance free imaginative streak

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>sex, drugs, and rock &#038; roll<br />
why does this threesum always exist<br />
to create the sickest and illest cacophony on the art scene<br />
when i don&#8217;t need assistance being me<br />
i create my existance<br />
through phrases, lines and stanzas<br />
notes,treble &#038; bass<br />
only accompany<br />
my greatness<br />

alcohol is a bonus additive<br />
Vino the true device<br />
to take me down<br />
shut off the synapses<br />
close the eyes<br />
opening the soul<br />
making dreams my new reality</p>
<p>a substance free creativity<br />
so easy in my being<br />
i allow it as heavenly message delivery<br />
substance free imaginative streak<br />
why is that so hard to strive to achieve<br />
when did it become strange to see<br />
sex and rock &#038; roll with the Lucies and spliffs<br />
Drugs &#038; creative consciousness<br />
Such a common partnership<br />
I begin to wonder<br />
if creativity was never God&#8217;s gift<br />
But a seed to be watered<br />
by temple damaging magic pills<br />
liquids that get you lifted<br />
and awkward concoctions<br />
to get you wired</p>
<p>i thrive<br />
in substance free creativity<br />
haze is not what my bars crave<br />
chemicals are not what i need<br />
to make my trills and runs stay<br />
in your ears to marinate</p>
<p>all i need<br />
is<br />
me<br />
a god given message<br />
a heart for delivery<br />
a mode and method for my soul to speak<br />
and lines on a page that are not afraid to get dirty</p>
<p>is my free flowing proclivity<br />
for poet speak<br />
such a rarity<br />
i have become the minority<br />
the naturally unnatural of mercenaries<br />
called to bring peace and harmony<br />
to the country<br />
destined to succeed in world unity<br />
completely substance free<br />
while dispersing my projects<br />
for all to eat and digest<br />
resulting in a changed mission and personality<br />
to be change we want to see<br />
exude the positivity<br />
our youth yearns to be<br />
so our legacy<br />
stretches form sea to sea<br />
hilltop to mountain peak<br />
resting when all are unafraid to accomplish their dreams<br />
listening to their souls preach<br />
through unadulterated creativity<br />
tell me you see a possibility?<br />
Nothing is impossible when you believe</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>goosies! So i hit up Louder Arts and i was pleasantly surprised&#8230; i often dont get goosebumps when poets read or singers sing unless they are <em><strong>REALLY REALLY GOOD AND FANTABULOUS</strong></em>&#8230; but for both features i had goosebumps&#8230; Micheal lee and Jamila did their thang! So blessed by the stories they shared&#8230; i mean the last time i had goosies was in August when Verandah Maureen performed <u>UGLY</u>. So if you haven&#8217;t been there you are totally missing out! plus it is only $5-$6 entrance/admission.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the curly fry laughing,Â  David Rey Martinez featured tonight at 116&#8230; i was laughing at his ridiculousness! We had such a great time especially when Trixze and David performed Juicy (no David WASNT Biggie).Â  </p>
<p>Everyone was great tonight, the vibe was crazy. Just take my word for it&#8230;. if you been sleeping under a rock and haven&#8217;t heard about the Inspired Word NYC movement&#8230;. get up and get moving! You are missing some great comedy, storytelling, poetry, spoken word, and rap! A smorgasbord of spectacular-ness! </p>
<p>I performed &#8220;Dulce de Leche (meets Chocolate)&#8221; to salute David&#8217;s alter ego Curtis Lipdown&#8230;since it was his post birthday party&#8230; all roads led back to David..</p>
<p>I was gonna do a poem for Vigo since he featured too! But time wasn&#8217;t on my side&#8230; sorry Vigo! Next time i promise. Vigo performed and killed it.. he does &#8220;go hard&#8221;! If you were there you would know!</p>
<p>Pierre scared me a bit with his &#8220;smile at me and you&#8217;ll get pregnant&#8221; joke and he looked right at me after&#8230; DUDE! IM NOT TRYNA HAVE THAT NOW! Lol! </p>
<p>Storm killed it and sang her &#8220;hips&#8221; off! See again&#8230;.if you were there! I love her in your face style poetry! She energizes me everytime i am blessed to see her perform&#8230;</p>
<p>The other members of david&#8217;s group CMD Comedy were heckling him all night! I loved it.. finally someone can deflect post performance heat off me&#8230; Chad and Marlena were awesome!</p>
<p>Totally inspired by the words,<br />
Simone Nikkole aka AzÃºcar</p>
