Hotep,
Wow! This is
absolutely incredible!! The 3rd
year of W2TM. Who knew? SMH.
This journey began with a friend and some great childhood memories.
Three years later, W2TM has become a learning tool for anyone unaware of ‘Lady
Justice’ peeking from beneath her blindfold.
Na mean?
I recognize this opportunity as nothing less than Divine
Intervention. In no way is it a common
practice for a prisoner of my political status to have a voice of this
magnitude. Not only am I thankful for my
Creator delivering such a great moment in my life, but, I’m also humbled by the
many responses to my Creator’s work, through my writing. That’s what’s good.
There have been many times – more than I can count – I’ve
picked up this pen without the slightest inclination of what I should
write. Somehow, the words will just pour
out of me, as if my physical presence was nothing more than a boiling tea pot
unleashing the flavor of the ultimate preparer.
I merely contain this literary sweetness that fills the cups of the
masses. I don’t make it. Feel me?
There are other times where I’m awakened by a sudden
thought. Call it a dream or a voice, but
I’m driven by a higher power to push this pen.
Of course, there are times when the teapot will try to stir the
sweetness residing within, for what I may believe to be additional
flavoring. Imagine that.
That’s why I’m also thankful for my Editor-in-Chief,
Rochelle. She’s the balance that
prevents the overflow of my deepest expressions. She dovetails my declarations one sip at a
time, allowing the masses to savor the everlasting flavor of the Creator. Ya heard?
I’m just a Mann behind the pen, my Peoples. W2TM was destined to be; long before any of
us came into the physical existence. I’m
honored to be appointed as your MannofStat; the point guard to the People.
This 12-month span has been filled with tragedies, around
the world, and in our own backyards. I
mean, the madness at Sandy Hook Elementary School should’ve made you tell people closest to you that you
loved them. If not; it was definitely a
lesson that some things we just won’t be able to control. You can only protect your loved ones, but so
much. At some point, you have to let go
and let God. The Creator doesn’t need
our help. We need His. Feel me?
Despite my shortcomings; I’ve been sculpted for this
particular mission. As I continue to
fulfill my purpose, I’m still the Mann you knew; the Mann you know now; and the
Mann behind this pen. This Mann’s labor
of love is an integral facet to the Creator’s plan for 2k13 and beyond. Stay tuned.
Love ya fam.
Doing What I Do,
MannofStat
