Check this out. Here is a workable New Year's Resolution for you based on a Spoken Word performance by the dynamic, visionary Hip-Hop poet, Saul Williams, a true Hip-Hop artist who hasn't sold out this original, raw, street-inspired art form for money, drugs, guns and the degrading of women. No, his words are pure, revolutionary, truthful, full of love.
He did this videotaped piece a few years back. It's called Not In Our Name (The Pledge of Resistance). But it's equally poignant right now, if not more so. This is one of my New Year's Resolutions this year.
If you like Saul Williams and want to hear more or know more about him, let me know. This is just a tiny morsel of his artistic abilities.
By the way, there is an actual website where you can sign this pledge at: http://www.notinourname.net/pledge_about.html
