Destined For Greatness
A poetic 51st birth year ode to Hip Hop
🎶From the moment you were born you were destined for greatness🎶
🎶Hip Hop. A way of life and a cultural playlist🎶
🎶Took it to the stage and you never turned around🎶
🎶Convinced a lot of thugs and crooks to put their burners down🎶
🎶We broke records and smoked records🎶
🎶We’re the reason why so much of America even knows records🎶
🎶Our every pen is mightier than every sword🎶
🎶Without a doubt all of our verses strike with every chord🎶
🎶To the ears of every listener you give power🎶
🎶Internalizing that energy so we live power🎶
🎶You are the saving grace that changed us. We made you and you made us🎶
🎶We are the legacy of Hip Hop destined for greatness🎶

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.
