Afeni writes a poem, inspired by the honor of her son Tupac about "Celebrate Life". She thanked God for the gift he had given to her son. They are artistry for many different forms of expression and we should celebrate them. She states, "Celebrate the ability to feel free! Only then will you be free to feel (xii)." Tupac's heart and soul were reflected through his poetry.Afeni's soul was the perfect reflection of Tupac.Leila Steinberg was a great trustworthy friend to Tupac. She was entrusted with his poetry, that was a great honor. She was very grateful for that , not being able to put her gratitude into words. She states, "it is Pac's spirit that gives her breath". Her soul will continue the unfinished work he wanted to accomplish.Nikki Giovanni is glad his poetry was finally being published. And glad that Tupac had taken the understanding of having no obligations to the universe, but to follow your own muse. She feels as though white society wants to pick our hero's in the image of what they should be, and demands us to make our own choices. She states, "he deserves to be taken seriously"(xvii).We will see Tupac in heaven. Posted by Rhonda Washington at 7:40 AM
