A poet took the stage and before reciting his piece, he said that a poet has five minutes to impact his or her audience either negatively or positively.  What a poet said in those five minutes could either create change or maintain the status quo. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI went home that evening and asked myself, “What if, after five minutes, I could no longer write poetry for the rest of my life. What would I write in my last five minutes?”  The answer?  If I Only Had Five Minutes. The Last Will and Testament of a Hip Hop Poet.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIf I Only Had Five Minutes. The Last Will and Testament of a Hip Hop Poet is a three disc compilation: Life, Love, \u0026amp; Rhymes. In 26 poems I speak his language, swallow her pain, dream my memories, and create our rhythm. In my ‘five minutes’ I fill white space with unlimited possibility. In my ‘five minutes,’ I write now, so others can remember later… \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhat will you do with your five minutes?”        Tia DeShay\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143523057904,"sku":"9781456731472","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781456731472_p0.jpg?v=1763863741","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781456731472","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
