The Power of a Smile

The power of a gun can kill and the power of fire can burn the power of wind can chill and the power of a mind can learn the power of anger can rage inside until it tears u apart
but the power of a smile
especially yours can heal a frozen heart

Tupac a legendary rapper, human being, and even a poet he is very gifted and very deep. What makes me jealous is the experience that he has. His whole life story is just a heavy story in its self. When he writes, he puts his whole heart, might, mind, and soul into it. He makes all of his poems connect to you. Even though he is a thug, alot of his spoems are real life like about creating peace, and coming together as a whole and coming together as your self. Not only creating peace with other people, but having peace with yourself. Tupac was a great example of this, and even if he had hard things happen to him he stood by his Principles and his moral's. Where he came from is a whole different life then what we have here, where we live.Tupac is a poet, and a very good one at that.

  1. Tupac fascinates me. It's like he's two people. He's a G who has Thug Life tatted on his chest, smoking chronic, talking about his ambitions as a rider.

    Then he's a sensitive, thoughtful writer who has respect for women, his mother, the world. He wants to inspire the youth to be better than they are.

    He's such a contradiction sometimes.
