I'm sorry to hear about Killer Mike's loss and the struggles of his family members. It takes courage to share these personal experiences with the world through music . Regarding his critical acclaim, it is important to recognize that mainstream media often fail to recognize and uplift voices from marginalized communities. These voices are often overlooked or condemned to the margins because it challenges the status quo and the dominant narrative . If you listen to Killer Mike's music, I hope you approach it with an open mind and an appreciation for his willingness to speak truth to power. I would hope that his message would inspire listeners to examine their own lives and the systems that contribute to inequality and oppression. In the fight for justice and equity, we need diverse voices to be heard and amplified. We must uplift and

ReplyDeleteExcellent tight opening lines, and great follow through. The war of idealogies kills all too many who think and feel, but centering in a joint humanity is a powerful medicine. Love Diana's pic as well.
ReplyDeleteThought provoking lines...I like the word play specially these:
ReplyDeletewe are the atoms
of the right now
the eves of today
inside every soul
is The Way.
I wage word wars
ReplyDeletewith ideologies
that charge covers
and put up gates
between me and ME.
Profound and well written. Thank you.
Interesting contrast - apparently between the self arguing with itself and seeing a way to oneness with another/others. Nothing neat and pat here, but pain, and a glimpse of healing.
