When asked how he came to possess such great wisdom, Lokman replied: "It is in seeing the actions of vicious and wicked people and comparing them with what my conscience tells me regarding such actions, that I have learned what I ought to avoid and what I ought to do. The wise and prudent man will draw a useful lesson even from poison itself, while the precepts of the wisest man mean nothing to the thoughtless." --from Lokman,World's Great Men of Color, J.A. Rogers, Vol. 1

Parable of Shoes
Parable of Shoes
I got some nice shoes
my other woman bought me
to go on tour
my main woman hates them shoes
every time I wear them
she let's know
them shoes yo other bitch bought
ain't they?
I nod
cause they nice shoes.
ain't seven thousand dollar shoes
like Charlie Rangel's, King of Harlem shoes
but they nice
go wear them
no matter if my main woman don't like them.
both ladies left me
but I still got ma shoes.
--Marvin X
