There's no hocus-pocus, in the end, it's just us

Pure at heart because I deal with the mind
That's why I compose these verses
Audible worlds, my thoughts are now universes
Written on these pages is the ageless
wisdom of the sages, ignorance is contagious
So I hope you keep your focus
-Jeru the Damaja, "Ain't The Devil Happy"

I'mma just gone ahead and put down all the disparate thoughts and ideas and then craft some semblance of an essay from the revisions to the topics. Hopefully, it will work...becuase it's approaching seven more days before I give all this shT up, refocus, and move on.

Last time I did this shT, I got dissed on the strength - well actually, weakness - of the personal statement. It wasn't researchy enough. I've found that trying to get on a track and not write the same shT is a bit of challenge. Writer's block is a mutha. Awww fuq it.
