“23 Hours” by Billy Brown



23 hours a day I: sit, read, write, study, I rest.

23 hours a day I: watch, observe, analyze, I dissect.

23 hours a day I: learn, teach, listen, I speak.

23 hours a day I: love, strategize, converse, I liberate.

23 hours a day I: laugh, cry, destroy, I rebuild.

23 hours a day I: yell, holla, scream, “Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!”



In order for a soujah to maintain these 23 hours, his/her must have that 24th hour.

“Seclusion” by (Bubba-B) Billy Brown



I’m in the middle of nowhere,

But I am somewhere….

I see nothing, but yet I –

See it all….

I hear nothing, but the sounds –

Are clear…..

I am lost in time, but I know –

Do time….

I feel nothing, but my emotions –

Are rattled….

My motor skills are null, but my –

Body is in motion….

I am unconscious, but I am –

Conscious….

It is my enemy, but it is –

My friend….



-Seclusion-

We all may fear the unknown, but why should we fear that which we haven’t experienced?
And a majority of us have not experienced the ultimate, which is SELF.

"Ol’ Fatha Time” by Bill Brown



As I sit here, time move z slow, it seem z dat even fatha time know z.

Know z dat something iz “bout’ to happen, but it won’t come ta him, as the second z tick
away.

He know z dat time iz slim.

He know z dat time iz slim.

He scratche z hiz head and thinkz back.

It confuse z him, what z the hap z?

2 minutez till de clock chimez,

thingz just don’t slip fatha timez mind,

first time fo’every thang I guess?, so fatha time set back to rest….

12 o’clock midnight straight up and down,

still nothing came ‘round,

fatha time kickz back wit’a cup’a tea,

BAM! De time waz 12:03.

Fatha time jumped up and checked de date,

July 18, 1996….He knew, he waz much too late….



De moral of this piece iz, time never stopz for anyone. We are in a constant state of
change. Therefo’, in order ta keep up wit’ de changin’ timez WE must be willing to change
wit’ de timez…..



In memory of: Ziyon Yisrayah
