WHO AM I?
I AM, TOO BLACK!!
They take my kindness for weakness
They take my silence for speechless
They consider my uniqueness strange
They call my language slang
They see my confidence an conceit
They see my mistakes as defeat
They consider my success accidental
They minimize my intelligence to "POTENTIAL"
Any praise is preferential treatment
To voice concern is discontntment
If I stand up for myself, I`m too defensive
If I don`t trust them, I`m too apprehensive
I`m deviant if I separate
I`m fake if I assimilate
My character is constantly under attack
Pride for my race makes me,
"TOO BLACK"

***Palms 82:6, (6)I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. (7) But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. (8) Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
There is something in there for you, I promise!!***
My love for my people breaks all Chains, even yours!!!
Thought for Today: Everyone says that they are not into games and don`t want to play. No one ever wants to lose, that is a given. However, if you are not in the game, how can you WIN?
Tank top, flip flop, NAPPY HEAD, Dreed Lock!

REMEMBER: You are the sum today of all your yesterdays. Therefore, you must be aware of your past to "KNOW THY SELF"

Crowded Room
I stand in a crowed room!
All eyes on me,
Hanging on the next verbiage to roll off my tongue.
You see, I am better than E.F. Hutton, I am the one.
I am adored.
I am amore.
People come at me at every angle,
Trying to hook ME UP , yo!
I just ain t feeling them though.
I be taking pieces and bits of their mixed up blitz
Adding it to my %#&@$!.
Preparing my bags for a long trip.
I ll be in search of my honey dip.
Until that moment, till my journey s end.
Crowed room alone I ll spend.
I askmyself, Where are you my love ?
I already know though,
You have been with me every fortnight when my eyes close.
You have been with me at the crack of dawn,
To greet every new day.
To witness me rise to every occasion!
I have tasted your kiss,
Oh! That %#&@$! was right.
Especially when you and I puckered up more that twice,
Equal but different sites all night.
I have heard you in my dreams, when love can do no wrong!
I have heard you cry so loud, and in that same breath whisper you re so strong
From that moment our souls did meet.
And Until again,
Crowded room, alone I ll be.
Both of us alone, you and me,
Our hearts have touched and beat as one,
Parlayed,
And have soaked in loves marinade.
Yet all the others try to get close,
Reaching out to touch the hem of my clothes.
Do you sometimes feel like one of those?
This; every day I am.
I must be careful of the garments I chose to wrap my souls abode,
As I stand cramped and crowded alone.
B.U.
KNOW THY SELF
A person who knows not
And knows not that they know not
Is foolish - disregard them
A person who knows not
And knows that they know not
Is simple - teach them
A person who knows not
And believes that they know
Is dangerous - avoid them
A person who knows
And knows not that they know
Is asleep - awaken them
A person who knows
And knows that they know
Is wise - follow them
All of these persons reside in you
Know Thy Self
And to Matt be true.
Ancient Proverb
" A human being is a part of the whole that we call the universe, a part limited in time and space. We experiences ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separted from the rest --a kind of optical illusion of our consciousness. The illusion is a prison for us, restricting us to our personal desire and to affection for only the few people nearst us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and all of nature."
-Albert Einstein
Also known widely as the Fire Bird, the phoenix is a profound symbol of the circle of life. It has a life cycle of 500 to 600 ears and after that amount of time, it sets itself on fire and dies in the flames. Then after three days, it rises again from the ashes. It is a completely benign creature who lives in dew. It is said that the phoenix has a beautiful melidous song which grows ever more mournful as its life comes to an end. It is a symbol of the sun and immortality. The phoenix is a very worthwhile beast.
