About this piece
> The talking drum carries Àṣẹ — the Yoruba power to make things happen. This thread weaves sound, spirit, and survival. Our words are codes. Our rhythm is resistance. The system pokes, but the drum still speaks.The rectification depends on how we handle the drum strokes in jokes

The aura of a person,
is a drum on beat,
Stick it raw,
Beat it down,
Life is a dance,
Here and There —
Pants down and up,
Taking a shit to shower,
Having sex,
Climaxing to,
Success is the, after-sweat,
Stress before fortress,
Freedom of expression,
Art of impression,
Done with less aggression,
To beat a drum is,
Not to tear the skin,
To wear life is a
Process,
If a stitch in time,
Saves nine, saves lives,
Be a hero to zero,
The glory lives on,
Men are driven by one,
Thing,
A big stick on drums,
Full of ego like Odyssey,
Pipe has no brains,
He uses the maid’s,
Eau de toilette,
Smells it to nut,
Spasmodic on it,
Like on loose crack,
Beats her drum to wear,
It's down,
She was irresistible,
Pipe imbibes on wine,
Cock on dine with a fine,
Vineyard yardstick Clock on,
Nine, in the morning,
Nothing changed,
Introspect retrospect,
Introspect again,
Statutory rape is the Name, of the Boss with —
Money on
The Drumstick,
Sex offender,
Violating the rules,
In this world,
Sex is a weapon,
Pull the strings,
G-strings aside before,
The wedding rings,
Drums on beat,
Stick on the meat,
Acronym: M.E.A.T —
Money. Energy, Attention, Time,
The man who got it all,
is like Roddy Piper,
The wrestler,
To beat down,
Is no money, no honey,
One win from learning,
To take the losses,
Beat it up,
In the bedroom,
A woman’s field to, Dominate,
The waterman
That spills out the Osmosis like A Drummer,
Gets to beat the drum,
Until he’s tired,
But a drum off-beat,
Is a loud man talking,
With unchecked aura,
Drunk on power,
Not on guard,
Sober, reflect. Tune in,
Be on guard,
Be courteous,
Let a man,
Walk the walk,
Before he talks the talk.
When the world is,
Blowing,
Their trumpet,
Blow yours with,
The talking drum,
Thank God for social media,
Exposing the truth,
For what it is ,
The truth here is,
The truth there & Everywhere,
It has tamed all that Madness,
Down there,
These fine ladies,
Don’t blow,
The flute by force,
They weigh the issues,
Checking things to Favor,
Themselves,
People give words,
Power, you built for greater,
Altitude,
Add a tower to it,
Is a world of sex, money, booze,
And drugs,
Food variety is the Spice,
Of life,
And we have to deal, With
This fact of our act,
Don’t ego trip,
Prepare the children,
For the roads of, Eventualities to Vicissitudes shaping One Altitude reflecting, On the moments,
If we not around,
So they can be on,
Guard crossing,
Without losing,
Their gumption,
At the crossroads,
Peace,
This very,
Important,
Children are the,
Future and leaders,
Of tomorrow,
As Tosin Jegede,
Sang,
Hope is what the world,
Needs in a world,
Of bank on red alert,
On! no ranks off thanks,
The evolution has to,
Come with revolution,
Of mental awareness,
That will resuscitate,
A lot of people,
Back on track,
Of good brings,
Business to the hood,
Salute!
One love!
_Talking drum_
_Peace._
