\"\"A success<\/em> is the source to others, blessed, becomes.
\nBut, blessing is the rain, which waters works, wrought
\nby our hands to sprout trees, seeding to redeem wealth!
\nTherefore, your humble beginnings, must be watered with
\nstrives, till they thrive to drop ripe fruits of your labours.<\/p>\n

Young souljahs<\/em>, your passive candles, kindle: Light up
\nyour fire, from my contagious raging passion.
\nIgnite your willpower \u2026 and let out the
\ncombustible abulia from your exhaust pipes:
\nDrive; pushing the frontiers of inactivity\u2014passivism<\/em>,
\nweighing down the idle mind, beyond the verge of
\nproductivity with problem solving proactions.<\/p>\n

What tools do your hands find to wield?
\nMoses’ rod: The red sea parted in two;
\nDavid’s sling and stone: Goliath, dropped dead;
\neven Malik’s pen and sables: breathes life into
\nhis remoulded souls with written words and
\npainted pigments revealing pedagogic missives!
\nYour visors, adjust, and mind’s eye<\/em>, put to use:
\nFor one who must a thing hold, must it, first see.
\nProphet Ezekiel saw dry bones growing bods, to ‘gain live;
\npa Abraham walked East, West, North, and South of
\nEarth\u2019s whole span \u2026 willed to him, in his mind.
\nEven Rev. King\u2014MLK<\/em>, once had a dream
\nthat, blacks will no longer live in lack\u2026!
\nWhat then do you see, my souljah<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I saw Wisdom<\/em> wash cars, to pay his way through school.
\nPeter<\/em> pushed handcarts \u2026 to relish the taste of pudding;
\nto throw clothes on his bare back, Christian<\/em> cleaned homes.
\nPrune all excuses for failure, and shed every reason to flop!
\nFor no light shines under the bushel; hence, upon your
\ncandle stands, mount: Stand proud on that built
\npedestal, to your seen purposes, serve.
\nShine your warm reflective light on our world\u2019s darkened
\npaths; till apprenticing moon<\/em> graduates, to have
\nmastered sun’s<\/em> brightening tutelage!<\/p>\n
