Essence of DOPE
When the Rubber Meets the Road
Ethiopians don’t believe in Hebret; we give each other empty gurshas but when it comes down to tire meets the road, to many scurry for the off ramp exits.

I was about to write a missive dismissing some folks …but then i decided better of it. I mean I don’t have a right to expect that people should drop their plans and jump on my train right…so let me do something else…let me express this in a poem. Poets get to say some vindictive shit and then can say “hey…it’s only poetry eko::
When the rubber meets the Road
You see, there is a lot of choma
Between axle and road
There is a lot of stem
Between root and rose
There is a lot of shit
Between dirt and ass
This comes as no surprise
Ethiopians believe in Hebret LAST
How do i arrive to this conclusion
Two weeks ago
I penned an article called BC IPO
Detailing how folks can purchase
Shares of Brown Condor
5,000 page views later
7,000 emails open later
untold views on Facebook
And endless retweets on twitter
About that dope article on BC IPO
Yet three weeks later
Only 2 folks invested in BC IPO
Now to be honest
I don’t need no charity
I have money I am blessed
But this was in essence a test
to see how willing folks were
To invest in their own
To see how much people believed
In the meaning of Hebret
I mean i see Ethiopians spend
thousands a month on Yohannes Aramaji
And thousands more of Buna
And Tire Tsega beef
They will shit out a day later
But BC IPO is a real Tsega
that nourishes you
Instead of giving you heart burn
But no you would rather have gursha
Instead of investing in your own jegna
This is what is wrong with us
We sit on the sidelines always
Cheerleader and bullshit
But when the time comes to offer help
Or invest in our own Bole Lijoch
We are mum
We are dumb
We are useless
We are numb
We are gone
MTS is the only Investment Habeshoch believe
It’s cool though, keep your MTS
I don’t need the pity
At the very least though
go give a dollar to a homeless man
By the name of Ray in DC
I know one thing
Hanna who invested in BC IPO
along with Mike Endale
will always be my friends
And as far as I climb
I will take them with me
The time will come when a white man
Invests in BC IPO
Then all the sudden MTS filled Ethiopians
Will come by the boatload
Asking to be a part of the movement
Bullshit habesha, only believes in Hebret
After the train left the station
Anyway, I ain’t bitter
I am not angry
I am maybe a bit whimsical
I wonder how is it that Ethiopians won in Adwa
If it was today’s generation
I would be typing this shit up in Italian
Siamo etiopi siamo sempre sconfitti
siamo sempre stupidi siamo sempre colonizzati
Thank you Mike Endale
Thank you Hanna Desert Flower
You my dear are the most amazing flower
Keep on believing in Hebret
For every 1,000 Ethiopians that don’t believe it
I know one like you exists in the ether

PS you can’t get mad at me, I wrote this as a poem and as a Poet we all know that poets are allowed to say anything without sewoch getting mad at them, beunet!
