I will quote the legendary Abiodun Oyewole of The Last Poets when asked what he thought of Prysmatic Dreams during an interview with Warrick Roundtree of Las Vegas's www.UnTamedTongues.com

"I'm proud to be among such warriors who use their pens as swords and their notepads as shields. This is just what we need in the world today. A perfect fit. The New Word Order."
Abiodun Oyewole (The Last Poets)

I don't have prejudice against myself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. I'm not on nobody's side. I'm not on on the black man's side nor the white man's side. I'm on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white. ......."BOB MARLEY"
