42 | Poem by Arthur Pichardo

I'm so truth!

Did you know the word ‘nigger’ equals 42?

Terms like ‘slavery’ and ‘bigotry’ they do too.


Black History Month is in February and 'February' equals 42,

You see that number has been stamped all over black history that’s so true.

I'm so truth!

The first black baseball player was Jackie Rob, #42,

And if you write out ‘Jackie’ that sums to 42.

Don’t forget about Moses Walker, Mr. 42.

Guess how many baseball games he played? ----- 42.

Think about the Martin show, he lived in apartment 42,

And if you write out ‘Martin’ that sums to 42.

His next door neighbor 'Sheneneh' her name equals that too.

Ya remember Rodney King? Born on April 2nd.. 4/2.

You see LeBron James he lost to the Pacers by 42,

And if you write out ‘LeBron James’ that sums to 42.

His 'pops' Nate Thurmond wore the number 42.

LeBron was born December 30th, that’s 42.

Anthony Davis’ birthday is 42 weeks before his too.


What about his teammate Westbrook who set the triple double record in a single season with 42.

You see that number has been stamped all over black history that’s so true.

It broke my heart when DMX overdosed on 4/2.

Also when Prodigy died, he was only 42.

Whitney Houston died 42 days into the year twenty one two (2012),

Her nickname was ‘The Voice’ and yes that’s 42.


I loved Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Rob in the film 42;

 But wait, didn’t he die on Jackie Robinson day at the age of 42?


Damn.
