My in-spirational online magazine committed to promoting positvity and talent is nearly here. 3 Days to go infact but I wanted to give you a little taster of things to come. In-spireLS Magazine has a section dedicated solely to up and coming talent. In our first issue, we turn our attention to Performance poet and hip-hop artist "Samuel Sky" To see some of his videos and read my review- be sure to check out http://www.in-spirelsmagazine.co.uk/ on 26/08/10!!!
Until then- here is a taster of just one of Samuel's poetic offerings. Samuel Sky is definitely one to watch in the coming months. Check out his poem "Make-up Sisters"
Note from the author.
This is a poem that came to being for 3 reasons. 1stly the misconception of beauty, 2ndly the misconception of self, and 3rdly the misconception of femininity! This is something I want to share with my female sisters regardless of race or class or any other discrepancy that divides as a nation.
I am not impressed by your make up -You’re make up is a mask
Why do you long to cover up and powder up your scars.
Don’t you see your scars are only defining who you are.
But with makeup, you’re making up your scars that make your past.
If adolescence is a race ladies are running it too fast.
Only for their spirits to be de-fragmented and broken like it's glass.
Coz they are not judged by their content but the shaping of their arse.
And the reality of who they are rarely comes to pass.
The glass ceiling’s cracked so my sister keep it cracking,
Coz without the ability to be yourself you make up is simply lacking.
You think that your lacking only because you lack kings.
So in your attempt to fill the void recognize you're simply latching.
To something to someone but nothing quite like you .
Your make up is making up illusions quite like you.
But this make up may look like but isn’t quite like you.
And if something seems the same but behaves different to you.
Chances are or chances is it’s probably not you.
I am not impressed by your make up You’re make up is a mask.
Why do you long to cover up and powder up your scars.
Don’t you see your scars are only defining who you are with makeup,
you’re making up your scars, that make your past.
