For the WTE: Redemption is Needed

No more community
we broke away from immunity
to become pure within different paths
wrath of life's issues
so on and what not
I missed the band
the connection of poets and poetess
that expand different ways of verbal and written material
expressions that were rugged and influence by soulful depictions
yet this place has become a sesspool of broken memories
remember when he and she wrote words of harmony
or remedy to street life blues
who knew that the MIC would be busted
the bodyslam would leave us all bruised
misguided by drinking a fifth to the noggin
inspiring to write lyrical suicidal tendencies
that's expressed within this facility
really this is depressing
this is the place for self expressing
stress release and battles between right and write
recite and ignite the keystroke method
I take it all in and let it hang out
what I'm talking about for the simple statement
is we need to rebuild and reunite
like the good ole days in which the words were strong points to society
poetry was prime form and forums were making a killing
I blame it on social media, times a changing, old age, and common fork road issues
or maybe I'm just living in the past
trying to do the tedious task to get pass the original class of 2003
so we can maybe bring fourth unity to create something magical
but yet this is all words that define invitational
open these doors for old greats and new princes to write something spiritual
all for the love of the WTE

    Sighs....Can't post a poem so I'll do it in here.

    It's been a minute and some change
    maybe a dime or two
    since I wrote something new
    wondering and pondering while wandering
    through the thick and thin of this place
    and something told me to just pick up and pretend
    this is 2003 again
    the scenery is so thick
    poets all over the place
    modern day Harlem Renaissance
    reminiscing on the footsteps of creativity
    developing humility in the process
    so I can progress with a little poem to let folks know
    that it's same ole same ole
    Real_Poet doing his usually lingo
    just turned 30 and realizing it's not a game
    so I turn it up a few decimals
    on my college kid ?
    playing games, making beats which are aight, and enjoying the married life
    sometimes its on some Tyler Perry skit but she's all I got
    Jimmy take the wheel
    let me stop and chill, anywho what's good with the WTE crew
    good to see you still doing you
    Tupacfan looking lovely and VSOP still taking it to the head
    with the lyrical substance that's lead example by the pioneers
    so far it's been tears seeing what this place has become
    like a switchup of character but same different toilet flush
    the game done change and the forums are really proving such..
    og's moved on to bigger and better things
    youngins trying to make freedom ring
    like 5th season of The Wire only Omar will let his mind blow freely
    seriously this place needs a enema
    ? pumping out left and right
    a brand new cinema
    the dilemma of this place being on the decline
    got my mind adjust and ready to flood the block
    like an old school ritual
    but I'm not a fool to tell you that I'm semi-retired
    learning to developed writing for a new cast of readers
    business mind like Nino but Stringer leaps and bounds
    by any means necessary I'm trying to become bigger than a king
    but too humble to wear the crown
    bottom line I'm doing fine
    just feeling a little bit down
    I miss my dogs from past to present
    the original lineup to the ones that were within my presence
    M.I.C shout out to you and those that I have forgotten
    forgive my memory old age is an enemy
    sincerely this is sort of a spammed facebook letter to the crew
    I haven't at all once forgot about you :)

    Man you ain't even lying, I miss the old Illcommunity that we had here in WTE. Like you said, OG's moved onto bigger and better things. Life took over somewhere along the line......

    Damn...I need to start writing again
