"More people than ever are slowly but surely turning their ears toward poetry." ― Saul Williams Topic(s): Peace Tags: people More From Saul Williams "Why shouldn’t rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it’s this old idea of containment – that rappers, because they’re black, can’t and shouldn’t aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence." "I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life." "My father’s a preacher, my mother’s a teacher, thus I rhyme." More In Peace "Politics is about the improvement of people’s lives. It’s about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people."― Paul Wellstone "Even peace may be purchased at too high a price."― Benjamin Franklin "I fought for peace in the fifties."― Pete Seeger
