The poem is essentially about how Saul feels that people are capable of so much more in terms of culture and intellect but TV and such is feeding people such crap that their...

Coded Language Annotated

Whereas, breakbeats have been the missing link connecting the diasporic community to its drum woven past
Whereas the quantised drum has allowed the whirling mathematicians to calculate the ever changing distance between rock and stardom
Whereas the velocity of the spinning vinyl, cross-faded, spun backwards, and re-released at the same given moment of recorded history, yet at a different moment in time's continuum has allowed history to catch up with the present

We do hereby declare reality unkempt by the changing standards of dialogue
Statements, such as, "keep it real", especially when punctuating or anticipating modes of ultra-violence inflicted psychologically or physically, or depicting an unchanging rule of events will hence forth be seen as retro-active and not representative of the individually determined is

Furthermore, as determined by the collective consciousness of this state of being and the lessened distance between thought patterns and their secular manifestations, the role of men as listening receptacles is to be increased
By a number no less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal aggressors

Motherfuckers better realize, now is the time to self-actualize
We have found evidence that hip hop's standard 85 rpm when increased by a number as least half the rate of its standard or decreased at ¾ of its speed may be a determining factor in heightening consciousness

Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the unchanging, the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth

Equate rhyme with reason, Sun with season

Our cyclical relationship to phenomenon has encouraged scholars to erase the centers of periods, thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and effect
Reject mediocrity!

Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which has been given for you to understand
The current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent restricted to the diet of an infant
The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and deformative symptoms and could not properly mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears
Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness
The role of darkness is not to be seen as, or equated with, Ignorance, but with the unknown, and the mysteries of the unseen

Thus, in the name of:
ROBESON, GOD'S SON, HURSTON, AHKENATON, HATHSHEPUT, BLACKFOOT, HELEN
LENNON, KHALO, KALI, THE THREE MARIAS, TARA, LILITH, LOURDE, WHITMAN
BALDWIN, GINSBERG, KAUFMAN, LUMUMBA, GHANDI, GIBRAN, SHABAZZ, SIDDHARTHA
MEDUSA, GUEVARA, GURDJIEFF, RAND, WRIGHT, BANNEKER, TUBMAN, HAMER, HOLIDAY
DAVIS, COLTRANE, MORRISON, JOPLIN, DUBOIS, CLARKE, SHAKESPEARE, RACHMANINOV
ELLINGTON, CARTER, GAYE, HATHAWAY, HENDRIX, KUTI, DICKINSON, RIPPERTON
MARY, ISIS, THERESA, HANSBERRY, TESLA, PLATH, RUMI, FELLINI, MICHAUX, NOSTRADAMUS, NEFERTITI
LA ROCK, SHIVA, GANESHA, YEMAJA, OSHUN, OBATALA, OGUN, KENNEDY, KING, FOUR
LITTLE GIRLS, HIROSHIMA, NAGASAKI, KELLER, BIKO, PERÓN, MARLEY, MAGDALENE, COSBY
SHAKUR, THOSE STILL AFLAME, AND THE COUNTLESS UNNAMED

We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter
We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun
We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us
We are determining the future at this very moment
We now know that the heart is the philosophers' stone
Our music is our alchemy
We stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a hand full of minerals, thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down supply the percussion factor of forever
If you must count to keep the beat then count
Find you mantra and awaken your subconscious
Curve you circles counterclockwise
Use your cipher to decipher, Coded Language, man made laws
Climb waterfalls and trees, commune with nature, snakes and bees
Let your children name themselves and claim themselves as the new day for today we are determined to be the channelers of these changing frequencies
Into songs, paintings, writings, dance, drama, photography, carpentry, crafts, love, and love
We enlist every instrument: Acoustic, electronic
Every so-called race, gender, and sexual preference
Every person as beings of sound to acknowledge their responsibility to uplift the consciousness of the entire fucking World
Any utterance will be un-aimed, will be disclaimed, will be maimed - two rappers slain
Any utterance will be un-aimed, will be disclaimed, will be maimed - two rappers slain
