Trevian J. Hunter Brannon

My name (full name) is Trevian Jerell Hunter Brannon I was born in Colorado Springs, CO in Fort Carson at Evans Hospital. My roots is in Shady Grove, West Memphis, Arkansas, but make no mistake I'm from Port Arthur, Texas...Screwed Up Texas, that is! The Villa of The Trill...Writing poetry (my own 'unique' brand of poetry, "Trilla Poetry") rhymes, & flows is without a doubt my favorite pastime and a divine gift that was bestowed upon me by The Heavenly Father. Through my words...my 'Trilla Poetry'...my literature...my sayings, I want to entertain you...I want to make you laugh...I want you to enjoy yourself & constantly be in awe, but the greatest achievement for me personally is to motivate & inspire 1 person through my writings...the "fame" and the "recognition" is not truly important.

INTRODUCTION

I’m "King JSTA (Jay-STA)", "The Trilla Poet", "Captain Jack Tony", the *character* in these poems, ‘country soul stanzas’ & these poetry novels that you all have read (read online via my various Social Media outlets) and have been exposed to in the last decade or so. Make no mistake, at the end of the day, I’m simply Trevian J. (TJ) and truthfully, I’m a respectful, mild-mannered, Clark Kent-type, Dr. Jekyll type of dude. I’m no gangsta, I’m a "True Hero Under God", like the OG, Rotha Vandross AKA Z-Ro, knowatalmbout??

I’m that good dude, nice guy

Wouldn’t hurt a fly

Believer of The Most High

Still a work in progress

But I’m blessed…

Taba’nacle!!

Sanctuary.

Cathedral.

I’ve sailed across the many great seas of this life, took up the mantle of this great journey, embarked on many great adventures. I’ve had my defeats & I’ve had my victories. My ups & my downs, but through it all…in the end, there are no frowns, just a titanic smile that’ll never sink for I have discovered The Fountain of My Destiny.

Long Live King JSTA! Wakanda Forever!!

P.S.: Sorry 4 the wait! Now let us both, let us ALL drown at this most splendid & glorious ‘Fountain’ together!!

PROLOGUE

Author. Poet. Self-Prophet.

Warrior. Champion. King.

In love with the mist that comes from the sea

It’s a pirate’s life for me, savvy?

YO HO! YO HO!!

It is I, Jack Tony.

CAPTAIN. JACK. TONY, that is!

The sea of my life has been one filled with many wonders, many adventures & at times, endless doldrums of storms. At times, the seas themselves were cruel & harsh, as if Calypso herself inflicted her wrath greater than a woman scorned upon my seas. At the age of 18, I knew what I ultimately wanted to become in this world, at least I had an inkling of the man & the Captain that I wanted to be and above everything, the legacy that I want to leave behind in this physical realm; and so, came: The Journey. The journey to the fountain of my destiny, where I shall drown in those splendid waters & succumb to an honorable and a storied death…

To my reader, I’m just curious: Have you discovered your fountain? Your calling in this physical realm? How’s the seas in your life? Did they involve treachery, mutiny, defeat, victory, trials & tribulations as well? I may be a public figure to a few, but I’m a down to earth individual so when you see ‘The Kid’ out & about, get at me! Holla at me! The floor will be all yours, YO HO! YO HO!!

It’s still King JSTA biiiiiiitttcchhhhh…

So what the fuck is up!?!?!!

"Pimping the pen, keeping it wet", gripping on the buck

Grippin’ on the wood like I’m a Southern boy

Fell in love with the candy car, after all, I’m a country boy…

That grew up on country rap tunes, classic Hip-Hop & that ‘Screw’

Screwtape freestyles that were more poetic than a sweet lullaby

Hearing Lil’ Keke proclaim that he had to be a G til’ the day that he die

And these critics steady trying to put ‘The Kid’ in the grave & yet, I still slay

Like Spartacus & Achilles because I do not play…

A vicious animal with this Trilla literature, to be frank?! I’m a Viking…

Got my female readers falling out still, even the yella dikes…

Drowning in this fountain of my destiny, en route to a glorious death

Adding extra years to my ink pen that shall speak for me after my storied death

"Captain Jack Tony", a name which will be remembered until the end of time

And the rum isn’t gone yet mate,

It spills from my bic, shrewedly, still getting down for mine

Because I’m still King JSTA bitch!!

THE FOUNTAIN OF MY DESTINY

Trevian Jerell Hunter Brannon

Captain Jack Tony,

King JSTA.

Rum in my Styrofoam cup, it’s still a pirate’s life for me

Keep an ink pen on the track, it is I…

Captain Jack Tony.

And I done pimped her so well til’ my name now rings like an alarm

How could one individual who is so Clark Kentish brings this much charm…

This much laughter…

And be so darn entertaining, JSTAlating…

On a new level now & it’s above 9,000

And with YOU, my loyal fan & reader, you know I’ve always kept it 1,000

The town I represent is so Southern like the drawl in my speech

Long Live The Don, Pimp Chad & Free Big Meech…

To all the single mothers rising multiple kids on your own

You deserve the biggest ovation & a nice big home

Even a caged bird can sing the sweetest of tunes

Even a wounded wolf can howl majestically at a full moon…

Caterpillars evolve beautifully into butterflies with time

As you’ll do…

From gentle lamb into a conquering beast in no time.

SOUNDING OFF THE CANNONS

Take it all in mate…a majestic view, isn’t it? Who knew that the earth still possessed divine beauty within Mother Nature…

The Fountain of My Destiny, Atlantis…the culmination of a great journey across the seas lads! Oh it’s time to get loose as a goose jack! Sound the cannons off from the vessel, time for a jubilee, a fuckin’ fiesta fiesta biihhhhh!!!

We pouring the rum

Firing up the ‘reggie’

Firing up the dro

This great accomplishment got me feeling so throwed

PA got a nigga so throwed…

H-Town got a nigga so throwed

Louisiana got a playa so throwed

And you know the music is turnt up

Disc jockey keep the club fired up

Trill Niggaz still winning, I could give a damn about that other side

Real women still holding & that devil is still a fucking lie…

Big homie just got home from the "slave plantation"

Reunited with his loved ones…emancipation.

Sounding off the cannons of victory for that cancer survivor

And all my people who have fully bounced back from Superstorm ‘Sandy’, Dorian, Ike & Katrina

To those who’ve bounced back from Hurricane Harvey…

To my people down in Puerto Rico & up in Flint, Michigan that’s still going through it…

You’re all survivors.

Warriors. Champions. Legends.

Sailed your sea in life & now you have arrived here

Celebrating the discovery of my fountain

The discovery of YOUR fountain…

Sounding off the cannons until the fire marshal shut this bitch down

And hell! He in here with us too, so you know it’s really going dine…

Now, sound off those muthafuckin’ cannons!

SODA

Codeine mixed with my favorite flavored soda

Swinging my lightsaber
