During my youth
I once knew a Great Artist who spoke the truth
He Was Speaking deep about our reality
things that occurred to all of us
Im talking about way back when a colored person couldn't ride on the front of the bus
Yeah , way back
his mother was a part of the black panther
I think thats who he got all his answers
He Was the great
He was intelligent
he showed no fear of telling it
he said what was right and what was wrong
he wrote them in poems, quotes and expressed them in his songs
But then one day came
the day that things started to change
the day that brought blacks and browns and even whites close together again
it was the saddest day
to see a great Person get taken away at a very young age
One thing to say
just remember his name
The Great
Tupac Shakur

- Comment from author about the poem: Tupac was the best to me and inspired me as many as other rappers to express Myself and I love it because music is my soul and I like how poets can be like rap artists and can have meanings to things that can relate to other people of things that they are going through

WELCOME KP ~ Thanks for a great tribute to TUPAC SHAKUR a Rap Artist who sold 165 million records worldwide. He was born in Harlem NY in 1971 and was assassinated in Los Angeles in 1996 aged 25. There are many TS quotes ~ my fave is "I don't see myself being special ~ I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them ~ people expect me to have answers. Thanks for carin' an' sharin' ~ Yours BRIAN
