Ode to the IT Poem, by Stephanie Mayweather, at My poetic side

ODE to the IT

When you think you know, but you don’t know

Is the worst part of understanding yo

When you pretend to know, but don’t even try to know

Is even worse than really knowing, yo

Walk in a man’s shoe’s, stand in a brother’s place

If you don’t wanna know, back out my face

IT exists, IT exists strong

You know, you know when you’re wrong

Stand down, cause you don’t know what you think you know

Pretenders are so boring, yo

Throw a radical fist in the air

Wave a peace sign, but you don’t care

What do you know pretender

I say Peace and Power to the people

You say Power and Peace to the Steeple

Go somewhere, get free

Go somewhere, you don’t know me

You don’t know what you pretend to know

That’s the worst part of understanding, yo.
