I AM SO BROWN!

when i finish my poem
i want you to be thinking:
GOD DAMN THIS IS ONE BROWN MOTHERFUCKER!
that's right
this guy
right here!
he's sooo brown
he made a poem referencing philippine history
he wrote a poem talking about how his life was all hard knock and shit
or how he was like all white washed
and then he read a book
and then all of a sudden was enlightened
and that he now knows more shit than you
and wants to share it with you
so you too can be enlightened!
even though you'll be all hyped up for the night
and then forget about it the next day!

wow what a good writer this guy is!
he shouts really loud i think i should listen to him!
this guy is really sexy i think i will ask him out when he gets off stage!
yes yes! listen to me! ::coughcough ask me out too:::
i have a microphone and you don't
i shout really loud and everyone is supposed to be quiet when i do!

please please listen i've got something very important to tell you
it's not change the channel rex
but like it's got something to do about injustice and shit
and i like to talk about it alll the time
mainly accompanied by some kind of hip hop beat
and then i got some cds you can cop
and some brown shirts with some variation of the philippine flag
or something about the colt 45
cause 38 calibers bullets cannot penetrate our invincible brown skin!
spread the word spread the word!
we are all enlightened people after hearing me speak!
nevermind that we won't really try to apply ourselves when we are done
just listening is what's important!
because KNOWING is half the battle and we don't really give a shit about finishing our fights!
because there's this dope after party
and my frat and sorority are doing some gift exchange so we can exchange numbers and and and

and you know what?! me, i'm so cool!
i'm on stage telling all you people this!
i can rhyme
i know all about iambic pentameter
i can enunciate, slow my tempo
make all dramatic speech
like movements with my hands
talk with big words really really fast
turn on my "ghetto" accent
nevermind the fact that i went to some elite public university
graduated double majors with a minor with honors and am going to study law
IGNOOORE IT!! because i am FUCKING RAW
my shit is real! it speaks to you!
because i'm speaking to you! right at you!
right now! with some speakers amplifying my voice!
don't you just feel all good about yourselves after hearing me speak?!

my shit is so powerful your shit will be all like: shit!
and we will feel so angry!!!
and so empowered!
and FUUUUCK!!!!!
we'll be like revolution this revolution that
BARRACK OBAMA!!!!
yeah!!!!!
my fist is in the air!!!!
wwooooooooooooooooooo!

i am just SOO GOD DAMNED BROWN!!!!!!!!
let's talk about stereotypes
let's talk about inequalities
let's talk about the sex trade
let's talk about the veterans
let's talk about philippine studies
let's talk about cultural ignorance
let's talk about self hate self love
let's talk about love your people love yourself
but most especially LOVE ME!!!!!
because i am the one getting you to talk about this
it does not matter if i don't do anything else
i have done my job!
because the first step is so important
and i don't care about accountability
this is all about accounting me!!!!
because you know what?!
I'M FUCKING FULL OF MYSELF!
and i want you ALL to be full of me too!
