    Great poem.

  • on When Ure Hero Falls by Tupac Shakur, on July 18, 2005
    This poem is so, so deep. People like to hold on to a hero that will give them inspiration. You tend to look at that person as invincible and superhuman. No one or nothing seems to be able to touch your hero, but when they fall, Your are left all alone. All the strength that that person seemed to have is now gone and you feel hopeless. A great work by an even greater man.

  • on Can You See The Pride In The Panther? by Tupac Shakur, on July 18, 2005
    This is my favorite piece of work by Tupac Shakur. In this piece he is basically talking about the unity involved with the Black panthers. Tupac felts that the panthers had plenty of pride and wanted all people to be unified. The emotion and realness inside this poem is amazing. Tupac Shakur was way more than a common "thug". Tupac was a visionary, not only trying to help blacks but all people elevate and erase the hate all over the world.
    What some people failed to realize about Tupac is that he was not being a "hoodlum" by rapping about the things that he witnessed in his lifetime. All he wanted was to tell the stories of how some people live in wealth and others live in complete and desolate poverty. By telling these stories, he hoped that the government would come in and fix that promlem and not try to put a censor on his creativity.
    Thank you for the years of music, poetry, and inspiration. May your music live on forever.

  • on Jada by Tupac Shakur, on July 15, 2005
    This is a very deep and emotional piece. I feel that he is confessing his love to one of the few women that he ever truly and deeply trusted in his short life. Jada was a queen to Pac' and he was confessing that to the world. This poem shows what I believe was the true side on Tupac. In his lifetime, he was very contradictory and very controversal but he always had love for his black queens. If 'Pac was still alive, I feel that he would have married Jada. Sorry Will.
