The cool, calm and "copasetic" brothers, Blak Leroy and Willie Nilly, are having a deep conversation on the corner of E. 55th and Central. Let's "kick" it with them for a moment, shall we?........

"You know something, Leroy?" 
"What you talking about, Willie?"

"The white man is a 'bad' man. He is the only man I knows that 'own'  time..."

"Willie, I think that you're 'off your nut'. The sun, moon and earth  movements make time. Don't no man OWN time."

"Look, Leroy, I can PROVE it."  

"Well, prove it then."

"Think about it...just when spring hits--don't he move time UP an hour?

"Yeah, I believe..."

"And when winter falls--don't he move time BACK an hour? He calls it  'daylight saving time'--but God don't need nobody to do His work for Him."

"Hmmm, Willie, You might have something there...."

"I know I DO, Leroy. The white man moves time, back and forth--whenever HE  get ready..."

"Willie, I SAID... you got something--don't let it go to your head."

"It ain't. Now, dig this...didn't God create the heavens and the Earth--and the fullness, thereof?"

"Willie, don't try to play me! You know I know THAT!"

"Leroy, I ain't trying to 'play' you--I'm making a point."

"Okay, go on then...."

"LISTEN--if God created everything that lives on the planet..how come you have to pay the White Man to fish in the lakes, rivers and streams? He did't  create the fish! The Bible say, God gave dominion to Man over the fish, birds of the air, and earth-bound creatures--he didn't say just white folks,  only. ALL MEN.....

Shoot! You even have to pay THEM for drinking water--and they didn't make water, either--God did."

"Willie, that is true, my man."

"Damn right, it is! And just the other day I heard that the government was 'salty' with some other country--'cause they invaded our 'air space'.  Damn! Now he control the air, too. He done already tried to take everything  on the ground. A brother can't win by them type of rules."

"Willie, you got it together, brother. I remember when he planted a flag on the moon--I guess he own that, too."

"I knew you'd come around to my way of thinking, Leroy. You're not a total loss--yet. One more thing......."

"I knew you wasn't finished."

"Whatever, Leroy. But, Dig....you got people buying these fancy homes and mansions--thinking they really got something.....When you buy something it's yours to keep--unless you give it away, right"

"I agree...."

"Well, you might buy a home with 40 acres on it--but if you still have to pay taxes on the land....then you don't really own it. Once it's paid for--it should BE paid for. You might own the building--but that's all. The land is still government property--not yours. And you know the government is gonna' get theirs."

"Yeah, Willie....And even if you could float the house up in the air--you'd still have to pay 'cause the white man own the air, too."

"Leroy, let me shake your hand--you're really getting it."

"Naw, Brother Willie, let me buy YOU coffee down at 'Big Ma Ma's Restaurant'. You're a 'fast and sweet M.F.'--I learned something today, man.

"I'll take you up on that cup of coffee, Leroy. Let's go."

AND SO IT GOES (SMILE)....

P.S. To my favorite "Knuts"....Oh, Oh, Oh,...
