The Revolutionaries

I am Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and like him I would like to be judged by the content of my character and not by the color of my skin.

I am intelligent, militant, and like Malcolm X who always managed to start things and finish it by any means necessary.

I am Dick Gregory, and like him I can use comedy as a tool to not only make people laugh, but make them think.

I am Huey P. Newton, a leader and somebody who strategized and mobilized his people to see change in his community.

I am Langston Hughes, because like him I believe my poems will bring about change and unity.

I am smoothe like Billy D. Williams with my words and phrases so that people will pay close attention to what I am saying.

I am 2pac Shakur, and like him “I believe that I might not change the world, but I will spark the brain that will change it by my honest lyrics or verses.”

I am like Nasir Jones (aka) Nas, because I paint a vivid picture of the world as I see it so that you can imagine it every time I talk about it.

I am like Dr. Michael Eric Dyson edgy, intellectual, and always searching for the truth.

I am like Muhammad Ali and somebody who shook up the world or will fight for what I believe in.

I am like Nelson Mandela and will forgive anybody who did me wrong in the past.

I am a rebel with a cause and want to teach my people how to stand up for themselves like Nat Turner.

And I am like the first and former black president, because I too, like Barack Obama believe “Yes, we can change the world!!!
