This is written and was performed by Jamele Adams at the YES! Conference 2011. One of four pieces he performed that day, his words shook the minds and hearts of all in attendance. We will be posting the other three of his rhymes individually within the next week. Gotta give each their own blog so the power in his words is given the respect they deserve. Check back soon!

Message to the Bully
With your methods You will not win Vesuvian “Savant-Intelligentsians” Comprehend No matter how mean You don’t expect this dream To come back like love To combat love; lost In empty hugs and Shoulder shrugs Cyber slugs and begrudged thugs Love Love Love Like hands out, hearts open Peace pipes can’t reach the same level of smoking The way our fire breathe have lungs open Inhale candle Exhale Roman Inhale Prometheus Exhale Jesus Inhale bully Exhale Willie, Or Jimmy, Lisa, Rosa, Mike, Bartholomew Anyone that resembles unique youCool is no comparison to the majesty of the individual
