"It's deep cuz I actually thought I was going to see Mars the day that he transcended. It was a local party where a lot of us would have normally met up. One of our folks was performing. I didn't see him at the party but I got the word the next day that he was no longer a physical form...I was Stuck... All I knew is that he had music he was an artist and he was on his grind most of the time about his music." Poetica recalls. 

 The other member in The Tali Up Boyz, Malik Smart had already crossed over some years ago. "Mars and Malik were often my Cypher supporters... At least I could do was pay homage to his music.

Poem for Grieving Mother By Dr Poetica Bey

https://www.fox29.com/news/nicolas-elizaldes-mother-shares-message-for-sons-killers-your-actions-are-wicked-and-despicable


In 2022 while I was running for special election as council person at large for the libertarian party I came across the story of a school teacher by the name of Meredith who had recently lost her son in a violent hate crime. I was moved to create a letter to her from Philadelphia as I heard her cries in the news about her circumstance. 

I created a piece of art from a photograph I saw of her and her son and this poem. 

I was inspired to create it by her story yet it is for all mothers who feel the system has failed them, the institutions that educate them has failed them, the extracurricular activities that you place them in has failed them, essentially The village failing them when results of tragic violence touch loving kind and nonviolent individuals. Then you realize the system has failed them. 


This poem strives to be a Band-Aid of sorts a soothing ointment if only for momentary relief. I give you this piece...


Healing Verse Germantown Submission:

Poem For Grieving Mother 

By Dr Poetica Natema Bey 



No mother should bury her son


No innocent bystander should look down the barrel of a gun


Some public officials are more deadly than the Corona virus


Open up an iris for dialogue 


He didn't mean to reach out to you because they never meant too


So I hope you can take these heartfelt words over an instrumental 


It can't replace him 

It wasn't meant to


Just a warm hand on your back and tip of the hat to let you know it ain't what we're all into


Someone to change the mainframe to reboot up in hopes to infuse those with heroism to suit up


The bat emblem is over Gotham City, time to recruit up Those that can re-elect the former select of he's not mine but I'll look out for him if I have too


Shame him if I have too

Provide for him a ride, or buy a cup of soup if I should 


it's good to be great and Grand to get better


With this brotherly love and sisterly affection

Through this inclement weather


This ain't all I have to say along the lines of things getting better


This can't fully shield the pain yet possibly a sweater or umbrella through the rain 


May you heal by the time the tears dry


Seal this on the side of support


And know it will improve 


Only time will soothe


Place this poem on your heart whenever you miss him


Please forgive us 

Sincerely 

Philadelphia
