Plot
Within the African American community there is a definite and noticeable lack of strong, faithful, happy, long-term relationships that has left an incredulous impact on our community. Whether married or not, thriving couplings of black men with black women over a span of five or more years have become all too rare to be ignored. What has been lost over the last 30 to 40 years to the creation and lifespan of successful ebony relationships post-slavery to present? Have we forgotten how to make commitment work, or have black men and women ceased to care enough to put forth a conscious effort to search for, secure, and love one another?

Plot
When Taliban authorities deny the turning over of Osama Bin Laden post 911, U.S. Forces rout their leadership from Kabul and free its Afghan citizens from the brutal grip of spiritual henchman Mullah Mohammed Omar and that of his dark-age Sharia led leadership. Seizing upon this new and volatile window of freedom, matriarch Farishta Mansouri along with her husband Hadar normalize their family's efforts by turning her deceased father's Soviet destroyed bookstore into a restaurant. A place of hope called "The Poet's Corner" along with an open microphone, a small stage and an invitation for all Afghans to read their poetry, voice is now given to the voiceless. Both men and women now have a safe, equal and inviting place to tell their stories and to sing their songs. But like a lightening rod, these new voices of freedom attract the darkest, lingering factional Taliban elements who then target the Mansouri family in the most heinous ways imaginable. In their efforts to silence the platform of freedom, Farishta and Hadar Mansouri are made a dire example by that of the Taliban through their desire to live freely, safely and with their own self-determination. Ultimately overcoming overwhelming odds the Taliban leadership is given a lesson of their own.

Parçayla ilgili bir kaç küçük fakat önemli bilgi vermek istiyoruz. Aslında bugün de hala gündemde olan sorunlardan bahsettiğimiz bu çalışma Temmuz 2012 tarihinde kaydedildi, tahmin edileceği üzere Gezi direnişi ve ülke gündemindeki sorunlarla alakası yok fakat sorunlar hiç değişmedi, parça da tazeliğini korudu. Altyapıyı Da Poet yaptı, sözler Hayki ile beraber 1 gecede yazıldı. Plakların başına Dj Sivo geçti, şarkının tüm mix ve mastering işlemlerini RockA Grubundan tanıdığımız Halil Özüpek gerçekleştirdi. Görsel tasarım Abdulkerim Güner'e, Lyric video ise Mustafa Uzun'a ait. Proje Da Poet'in solo albümünde yer alacaktı ancak planlar değişti. Bu çalışmaya çekmek istediğimiz klip için 3 ayrı yönetmenle (!) ayrı ayrı zamanlarda 1 seneden fazla görüştük, bekletildik sonuç alamadık. ( Tamam bütçemiz de yoktu -- EVET ) En sonunda tipografik bir klip kararı aldık bize yardım edeceğini söyleyen arkadaştan 3 aydır bir kare görüntü bile edinemedik ve artık dayanamadık şarkı kenarda iyice tozlanmadan sizinle paylaşmak istedik. Herkese iyi seneler. Sizleri seviyor ve emeği geçen herkese teşekkür ediyoruz. Hayki ve de Da Poet tüm sevmeyenler için söylüyor.. Download Link; http://bit.ly/1fblTa6

Amiri Baraka (1934-2014): Poet-Playwright-Activist Who Shaped Revolutionary Politics, Black Culture

Order: Reorder
Duration: 47:24
Updated: 10 Jan 2014

http://www.democracynow.org - We spend the hour looking at the life and legacy of Amiri Baraka, the poet, playwright and political organizer who died Thursday at the age of 79. Baraka was a leading force in the black arts movement of the 1960s and 1970s. In 1963 he published "Blues People: Negro Music in White America," known as the first major history of black music to be written by an African American. A year later he published a collection of poetry titled "The Dead Lecturer" and won an Obie Award for his play, "Dutchman." After the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965 he moved to Harlem and founded the Black Arts Repertory Theater. In the late 1960s, Baraka moved back to his hometown of Newark and began focusing more on political organizing, prompting the FBI to identify him as "the person who will probably emerge as the leader of the pan-African movement in the United States." Baraka continued writing and performing poetry up until his hospitalization late last year, leaving behind a body of work that greatly influenced a younger generation of hip-hop artists and slam poets. We are joined by four of Baraka's longtime comrades and friends: Sonia Sanchez, a renowned writer, poet, playwright and activist; Felipe Luciano, a poet, activist, journalist and writer who was an original member of the poetry and musical group The Last Poets; Komozi Woodard, a professor of history at Sarah Lawrence College and author of "A Nation Within a Nation: Amiri Baraka and Black Power Politics"; and Larry Hamm, chairman of the People's Organization for Progress in Newark, New Jersey.

The Irish Times

I first came across the name Óscar Oliva on a bus north to the Mexican city of Zacatecas last December ... I had been reading Benjamin Anaya’s Rebel Soundtrack.

Top Jen Foster, Poet

I was a novice without a trade
You were an orphan without a name
I was a fighter you couldn't train
And you the flyer on higher planes
I was the secret you couldn't keep
And you the keeper who held the key
I was a criminal out on the streets
And you the lawyer defending me
Of all of the things I could do
I made a fool out of you
With every lie you believed
You made a poet out of me
I was the writer of careless words
And you the reader who finally learned
I'm just a liar in love with love
And you the dreamer just waking up
Of all of the things I could do
I made a fool out of you
With every lie you believed
You made a poet out of me
You're the rain and you're the skies
And I'm a thousand half-ass lies
It's painful but it's true
And I'm the only fool I see
Ain't that a twisted irony?

Top Audience, Poet

The poet wrote a sonnet to the lady in the bonnet
Whom he saw across the river from his spot beneath a tree
He wrote into his ditty that he found the lady pretty
But he really felt too tired to leave his spot beneath the tree
Won't you cast your eyes toward me
That my own may say I love thee
Oh at last I see a lady I would wed
Pray don't walk away and leave me
For although t'would surely grieve me
It would hurt me more to have to raise my head
She looked across the river and he felt his body shiver
But she didn't see and walked on by his spot beneath the tree
The bonnet in a minute disappeared and all within it

Top Sly & The Family Stone, Poet

My only weapon is my pen
And the frame of mind I'm in.
I'm a songwriter, A poet.
I'm a songwriter, A poet.
And the things I flash on Everyday
They all reflect In what I say.
I'm a songwriter I'm a poet

Top Jessie Baylin, Poet

Maybe I'll go to Yuma
I still have his card
If he didn't change his number
He could reclaim my heart
Maybe I need the desert, or maybe I just need him.
I gave him Arizona
And I took the California coast
Tired of borders
I'm going back to where I left my ghost
Don't know if I'll stay there
But I'll stay until my heart gets broke
Maybe I'll go to Yuma
See how a desert rat lives
Hiding beneath the red rocks
Me and the shade we forgive
I know I truly loved him
I still can't brush off his dust
I gave him Arizona
And I took the California coast
Tired of borders
I'm going back to where I left my ghost
Don't know if I'll stay there
But I'll stay until my heart gets broke
He used to chew tobacco
He used to drink my wine
He never learned "I'm sorry"
He never pressed rewind
He was a wild coyote
But he called me baby doll
I gave him Arizona
And I took the California coast
Tired of borders
I'm going back to where I left my ghost
Don't know if I'll stay there
But I'll stay until my heart gets broke
There's a river that runs through Yuma
He's the river that runs through me

Top Bastille, Poet

Obsession it takes control,
Obsession it eats me whole.
I can't say the words out loud,
So in a rhyme I wrote you down.
Now you'll live through the ages,
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
Your body lies upon the sheet,
Of paper and words so sweet.
I can't say the words,
so I wrote you into my verse.
Now you'll live through the ages,
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you,
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
I have read her with these eyes,
I've read her with these eyes,
I have held her in these hands.
I have written you down,
Now you will live forever.
The virtues in the verse,
And you will live forever.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
