The Ghetto Samurai

 

Many among you have had your minds completely taken oveeeerrr - MF DOOM

Qi gong said only focus can change your reality. So what happens when the finance make it hard for you to just up and leave. Do you know you can leave / better still change your reality while still in it. One needs only to be armed with knowledge, especially in the liquefied form of music, books and movies for the battle is for your mind. The conformity of the world only seeks to turn you into a zombie. With the amount of radio signal, , masts, adverts, conditioning, mind control and witchcraft at play today, it is easy to still be human, talk less of your mind still intact and yours in this very fucked up world, where some minds can have calcified with too much work, worries and problems contrived, others have been completely turned into robots.

The ghetto is not just a place, nor a mindset, it is a reality one you must strive to escape from even though the finance might still keep you in it.  it is rubber slippers and back biting, devolution in search of homogeneity, a lack of evaluation, witchcraft to sate and buttress contrived and indoctrinated egos. Foolishness in senseless imitation, church and it’s thievery, an inability to stand out because of fear of ostracization, rolling in the murk, stultification and hindering of progress just to proffer a butt sniff and ignorant and vacuous  company surrounding empty beer bottles, meat, diabetes and quick deaths. 

Blessed are those who remain emulous models of discipline in spite of the filth that surrounds and threatens them daily, trying to change them and make them just as bastardized and stagnated as they are. Those who remain focused and determined like samurais, holding our swords, minds and heads up high. Unimpressed, uninfluenced with a scowl and a forward march spanning decades. Contented in our wage, Making do with less, preferring to share the company of the enlightened in books, music, and books. And when they would conspire to bring us down, we change our reality by denying their existence focus on creating our own mental images from the books and movies that end up making up the architecture of our dreams. Aligning ourselves to something better to be something better, not minding the ignorance, chide of the plenty, shame, stigma and ostracization through pure scientific intelligence a.k.a Quantum Niggerism
I must remember my colleague at school named Andrew fondly called Fabio because of his postion in football who first introduced me to Ghetto Samurai, he walks around with an Afro, uses the Boondocks intro as his ringing tone, a picture of Huey from Boondocks as his wallpaper, always  listening to Vinnipe Paz, Jay Z and Talib Kweli, baggy trousers and a constant quiet, made me lift weight and do the planks and one hand push up, kept a well sharpened pen knife and homemade shiruken with a saying The world is a fight,Why I must have thought, but still followed, now I find out I wasn’t really thinking. How? should have been my only question.

So I am arm with my earpiece as my sword, jazz and rap as the swaddle and weapon of mind, reading a book or at least 50 pages every single day, long walks and exercise the body for the muscles make up the mind.  Writing a to do list everyday and making sure I achieve it without fail, as I seek to make every hour of each day count.  And that is how I pushed my entire reality away, people then become like rat beside you, scurrying about, scheming and playing their games while you live your life and constantly act out your plans. 
What makes a Ghetto Samurai? Let me project:  Fo me a Ghetto samurai is made up of and by one minute plan and 50 squats and some push ups, Eating once o r twice a day, and eschewing meat. He I 3 albusm  every single day and a book top go with it.
