Wisdoms

(verse 2)

1. Poetry is your most inner thoughts, only
   better worded.
   Beer is your necessary medicine, only better
   tasting.
   Liquor is your double dose, only more expensive;
   and even more potent if 100 proof.
    
2. Why be this, why be that?, when you can settle
   for a healthy dose of both. Ah -- versatility
   strikes back; the best of both worlds (possibly
   in triplicate).
    
3. Versatility: the great stunner of a closed-
   minded society.
    
4. Who but a Black man has stood the test of time
   when “Nigger” became the profanities of pro-
   fanities ‘til to this very day we call it the everso
   popular “N-word”. What sweet pleasure has
   an old Negro and sweet treats to boot. Stop the
   ignorance -- Stop hating.
    
5. In the force of opposition: a week man will bend,
   a strong one will use opposition as a means of
   overcoming the oppressor. A complacent one
   will watch the world pass him up.
    
6. Sunshine: a sweet treat for temptation teasing; a simple indulgence for
   any season; the song of inner warmth: simply pleasing as is
   rain.
    
7. Jazz is like poetry is like humanity -- the horse of
   many colours from the Wizard of Oz: at times clever
   (provocative improvisation) and at other times:
   dropping piles of doo (inane stinky).
