Hello, everybody. This is Steven Lynn Nicholson again here in Jackson, Michigan. I always shout out people. I shout out Prison Radio, shout out Prisoner Creative Arts Project, University of Michigan. But also want to shout out people like my mother, my aunt, those who support me and love me, are there for me. Always have been and always will be. Just appreciate them and people like prisonradio.org. This first poem is called “Amber Waves.” So, here we go, “Amber Waves.”
Amber waves ingrained in the brains of lames
That were created to be great
But trained to flare like solar rays in space
And hate differing types of their own race.
We are spaced out by ethnic tastes
And differences are great, but we are all one race.
We all trace to one case of DNA,
And not a strain that’s simply terrestrial.
It’s more than celestial.
It’s pedestal is greater than extraterrestrial.
But there’s a prerequisite for entering this vestibule
That heaven sent to you.
A power greater than a comet
Necessitates something you must do.
But the King who made the universe for you
Made this an easy job for you,
Simple as one, two, see,
Just believe and receive Jesus, see
And the stars will speak.
Angels will leap.
Recognition of hidden intuition
Will begin to teach you how to meet the Supreme Being.
Walk hand in hand in the sand.
One set of footprints on the beach.
Walk hand in hand in the sand,
Not letting our distant fam be washed away on the beach
By the tide,
Whose power resides in the depth of Earth’s fire.
A magnetic core with power to control the shores,
Power to bore deep in our souls
And rewards us for responsible chores.
Being stewards, of course, was God’s original course for us,
As he allowed Adam to name all the animals,
Even the horse, of course.
But we got off course.
We are off course, treating neighbors like tourists,
And I am a tourist,
But how can that help me see the trees through the forest?
A tumultuous chorus wards us off of maintaining the forest,
And Satan rewards us for making wars of our ownness,
But we must dig deep and plant seeds
Taking care of the responsibility put upon us.
A porous submarine cannot infiltrate the enemy
Without water pushing, crushing pressure upon us.
Become conscientious to all beauty within us,
Unlocking access to promises in the recess,
But given to us within this final tap provision.
Unlock your brain stem
And let him in to change your vision,
To know the vision.
Amber waves, swishing,
Wishing, wishing,
Only the farmers are missing.
That’s “Amber Waves.” This next poem is called “Blatant Hating.” Wrote this some years ago when there was a lot of recognition of the Asian problem, hating problem, going on in the world, particularly United States. “Blatant Hating.”
That Asian hating is blatant,
Man, it’s time to erase it!
Study like the Bereans
To learn how the U.S. tortured Koreans
On American soil.
They slaved and toiled
In camps that concentrated on oppressive acts,
And no human being is meant for that!
Now we’re at war and, “We’re at war!” was the excuse for that.
No man, we can’t backtrack,
And yeah, we should forgive them
And maybe forget that, but get back, Jack,
Cuz true facts are how we get to the root of crap.
And don’t forget,
It takes crap to escalate growth rate of the most beautiful plants.
While U.S. was built on backs of Blacks,
Blacks were told to act docile,
Like the Asian man,
To stigmatize in the eyes of fans of other clans.
The Asian man was made to be lesser than,
By a different plan of action,
To drive them to acquiescence.
Why can’t we let people ascend?
This concept is a God-driven rendition plan
For all who are living.
But that Cain and Abel concoction is a toxin
Passed down from our fathers.
Where America falters is that its oppressors look like they glow,
Anglo, and from the Caucus Mountains.
Now we’re all being hounded.
Is that feeling astounding?
Caucasian persuasion causing hating on Asians.
Murder, rampaging
Mixed with denigration from sexual damnation.
Cerebral calculation,
Promoting sickening vibrations.
The Caucasian persuasion is grating this nation.
It hurts and it stains.
The Caucasian persuasion is grading this nation.
They ain’t teaching,
They teaching hate.
Give them ‘F’ because they failing.
Creating great things is how we were created,
To create things.
Instead we hate great things.
This infection is spreading to all nations.
Y’all call ’em racist.
I think that’s even racist,
Excuse me, I call it ethnic hating.
Be more specific.
Don’t make the hate so encasing.
People ain’t sausage, in casing.
We are the peak of creation
And that goes for every human in every nation.
No more blatant hating.
That’s “Blatant Hating.”
