Ever heard of the saying, A poet is just a "H" and an "R" short of a prophet? Well, if you haven't you'll probably believe it to be true after checking out Blackvision. Born and raised in the Crown Heights/Flatbush section of Brooklyn, Blackvision is no stranger to the harsh effects of life lived outside of truth. Equiped with an ardent desire to enlighten the minds of the masses through vessels of poetic maxims wrapped in rhythmical splendor; Black sees into the darkness to pull from it the light that is hidden beneath lies, conspiracies, and traditions. Some claim to have depth, but Black's mind is a black hole (in the context of having bottomless depth) that opens new portals of profundity for concentrated depictions of a reality we've anesthesized without ever asking, "Can we fix the problem?" Through creative pieces such as, "Color Conscious Crayons", -where he turns a box of crayons into a society festering with self-conscious stigmas to allow us to see a lack of unity stemming from pride and selfishness- he is able to paint a portrait that demonstrates our indifference toward roots of racism and prejudice. A student of the arts Black has attended various schools from, Howard University, to DeVry University, to Polytechnic Institute of NYU, where he is currently majoring in electrical engineering. But for all he has done, and continues to do Blackvision says his reward in life is the experience of rasing his two children. Black can be found blowing up open mics and venues across the states, and promoting his new book "The Paradoxical Effects of Blackvision" For more of Blackvision check out Multimedia

Color Conscious Crayons
by Blackvision
Copyright: © 2008
When asked to work together,
Red got mad and fought with everyone.
Blue didn’t feel good, constantly in a somber mood.
Red took advantage of Blue's mood and made Purple.
Purple tried to reign, pretending to be royalty.
Yellow, as usual, got scared and ran away,
Then Red caught Yellow to create Orange.
Orange became confused and turned into a fruit.
Blue and Yellow also mixed and produced Green,
But Green grew to be envious of the other siblings.
Black watched from afar not caring about the others.
White always felt left out by the apparent lack of color,
But opposites attracted Black and White to each other to make Gray.
Gray tended to be glum, full of gloom and doom.
Promiscuous Red also hooked up with White to create Pink.
Pink pretended to be passionate but came off as pretentious.
Brown, having a varied background, settled on just sticking around.
The colors never got along nor did they ever try,
Blinded by too much pride exalting their differences.
Ironically, they were all made to serve the same purpose:
To be used by children to draw beautiful pictures,
Since they all reside, side by side,
Inside a Box of Crayons
