"STILL I RISE"You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll Rise.Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll Rise.Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my Soulful Cries.Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll RiseDoes my Sexiness Upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got Diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame - I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain - I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tideLeaving behind nights of terror and fear - I Rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear - I Rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I Rise
I Rise
I Rise!

Releasing love that the chains

Freeing a thousand doves
Letting freedom ring
Catastrophic revelations

"The Essence Of A Black Woman"You can see the essence of a black woman when she walks into a room.
Her beauty is like a flower that blooms.
She doesn't need a man to be strong,
Because she remains a woman all on her own.
She overcomes challenges that stands in her way.
The inner strength she has gets her through the day.
She continues to triumph with elegance and grace.
While being a double jeopardy because of her sex and her race.
She is a goal oriented woman with style and confidence.
She never forgets where she comes from and for that she is blessed.
She has faith in God and not ashamed to acknowledge his presence in her life.
She can testify that without him she could never endure any sacrifice.
This black woman of beauty is the mother of all.
And for that we should be proud and stand tall.
Everyone around her can feel her presence.
For she is a Black woman of essence. "Friends are angels who lift us to our FEET When our wings have trouble remembering how to fly" "TWO OF OUR MOST POWERFUL BLACK LEGENDNARY LEADERS...ONE VISION!

Black is the color of dirty clothes, of grimy hands and feet...Black is the color of darkness, of tired beaten streets...Why did you give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair? Why did you create someone who receives the hated stare? Black is the color of darkness, Black is the color of dirt. Why is my bone structure so thick, my hips and cheeks so high? Why are my eyes brown and not the color of the sky? Why do people think I'm useless? How come I feel so used? Why do people see my skin and think I should be abused? Lord, I just don't understand...What is it about my skin? Why is it some people want to hate me and not know the person within? Black is what people are "Labeled" when others want to keep them away...Black is the color of shadows cast...Black is the end of the day. Lord you know my own people mistreat me, and you know this just ain't right...They don't like my hair, they don't like my skin, as they say I'm too dark or too light! Lord, don't you think it's time for a change? Why don't you redo creation and make everyone the same? God's Reply: Why did I make you black? Why did I make you black? I made you in the color of coal from which Beautiful diamonds are formed... I made you in the color of oil, the Black Gold which keeps people warm. Your color is the same as the Rich Dark Soil that grows the food you need...Your color is the same as the Black Stallion and Panther, Oh what majestic creatures indeed! All colors of the heavenly rainbow can be found throughout every nation...When all theses colors are blended, you become my greatest creation! Your hair is the texture of lambs wool, such a beautiful creature is he...I am the shepherd who watches them, I will ALWAY's watch over thee! You are the color of midnight sky, I put star glitter in your eyes...There's a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain...That's why your cheeks are so high! You are the color of dark clouds from the hurricanes I create in September...I made your lips so full and thick, so when you kiss... they will remember! Your stature is strong, your bone structure, thick to withstand the burden of time...The reflection you see in the mirror that image that looks back, that is MINE! So get off your knees, look in the mirror and tell me what you see? I didn't make you the image of darkness...I made you the image of ME!

If the world were your lover,
It could not give what I give to you,
Or the ocean would yield and you could discover
Its ages of treasure to hold and to view;
Could it fill half the measure of my heart's portion
Just for you living, just for you giving all this devotion,
Black man o' mine.Black man o' mine,
As I hush and caress you, close to my heart,
All your loving is just your needing what is true;
Then with your passing dark comes my darkest part,
For living without your love is only rue.

It could not give what I give to you.
"Black Queen"She walks proud day by day
She relates to anything one might sayShe has a force driven through her soul
She has a place on earth and she has a roleShe is capable of enduring many tasks
She is strong, for she is one that has no maskShe faces life with the dignity of her mind
And yet she still remains one of a kindShe is the words that speak to you day and night
She is the one that has given you sightTo see the beauty and the accomplishments of all
Yet she will be there by you standing tallHer intelligence is beyond many you may see
She has overcome many obstacles and still she feels freeShe has a desire that will capture your heart
She has a love so strong, one for which you will never partShe has her own therefore she doesn't ask for much
Whatever she needs she is capable of doing suchShe is a survivor and there is nothing she can't do
So don't play with her heart for this she will know tooShe is proud she takes on her own
And there are always others who may throw stonesShe fears not as she walks by with a smile
For she is one you will notice her for milesNothing is impossible for she always succeed
Yes she is human and one with needsA mind of her own she share with you
She speaks of things that you never knewNever underestimate her mind and soul
For she is one among many and so her story will be told
Black queen... black queen will remain strong as can be
She has a mind and yes all the capabilities.

A man has the Power to love a woman in a way that she has never been loved, and yet hurt her with the same intensity.A man has the Power to treat a woman like a Queen then turn around and make her wish she was never born.A man has the Power to make a woman cry with happiness and joy, then turn around and make her cry with hurt and anger.A man has the Power to let a woman feel free and wanted, but also feel disgusted and unworthy.A man has the Power to look a woman in her face and tell her he loves her, but turn around and sleep with her best friend.A man has the Power to make you fall in love with him within days, and hate him within minutes.During sex a man has the power to make a woman feel like she's in heaven, and afterwards makes her feel like a Whore.A man has the Power to change a woman from having goals, to living out his goals instead of her.Why is it that men have such Power? They have so much Power, because we give it to them. The Power of a man wouldn't mean anything without a Woman.So ladies when times are hard between you and your man and you realise that he treats you bad, remember that he can only do what you allow.Never Underestimate Your Power because without it, you are Stuck with the Power of a man!! Don't forget that God gave WOMEN Will Power and they are very near to God's heart, so let No man have dominion over you but God! "My Beautiful Black Brothas"A Brotha with intimidation.

.. "GLOBAL WARMING TO HURT POOR MOST" "THE WORLD FACES INCREASED HUNGER AND WATER SHORTAGES IN THE POOREST COUNTRIES, MASSIVE FLOODS AND AVALANCES IN ASIA, AND SPECIES EXTINCTION UNLESS NATIONS ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND HALT IT'S PROGRESS, ACCORDING TO A PROGRESS REPORT APRROVED FRIDAY APRIL 6, 2007 BY AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON GLOBAL WARMING, THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING MAINLY CAUSED BY MAN-INDUCDED CARBON DIOXIDE POLLUTION. "THE POOREST OF THE POOR IN THE WORLD-AND THIS INCLUDES POOR PEOPLE IN PROSPEROUS SOCIETIES-ARE GOING TO BE THE WORST HIT," "PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR ARE THE LEAST TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE" THE REPORT SAID UP TO 30 PERCENT OF SPECIES FACE AN INCREASED RISK OF VANISHING IF GLOBAL TEMPERTURES RISE 3.6 DEGRESS ABOVE THE AVERAGE IN THE 1980s AND 1990s. AREAS IN DROUGHT WILL BECOME EVEN MORE DRY, ADDING TO THE RISKS OF HUNGER AND DISEASE. THE WORLD WOULD FACE HEIGHTEND THREATS OF FLOODING, SEVERE STORMS AND EROSION OF COASTLINES. "THIS IS A GLIMPSE INTO AN APOCALYPTIC FUTURE," THE GREENPEACE ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP SAID OF THE FINAL REPORT. WITHOUT ACTION TO CURB CARBON EMISSIONS, MAN's LIVABLE HABITAT WILL SHRINK STARKLY, SAID STEPHEN SCHNEIDER, A STANFORD SCIENTIST WHO WAS ONE OF THE AUTHORS "DON'T BE POOR IN A HOT COUNTRY, DON'T LIVE IN HURRICANE ALLEY, WATCH OUT ABOUT BEING ON THE COASTS OR IN THE ARTIC, AND IT's A BAD IDEA TO BE ON THE MOUTAINS WITH GLACIERS MELTING" "WE CAN FIX THIS" BY INVESTING A SMALL PART OF THE WORLD's ECONOMIC GROWTH RATE, SCHNEIDER SAID. IT's TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, BUT IT's A VERY TRIVAL THING. FOR THE FRIST TIME THE SCIENTISTS BROKE DOWN THEIR PREDICTIONS INTO REGIONS, AND FORECAST THAT CLIMATE CHANGE WILL AFFECT BILLIONS OF PEOPLE. NORTH AMERICA WILL EXPERIENCE MORE SEVERE STORMS WITH HUMAN AND ECONOMIC LOSS, AND CULTURAL AND SOCIAL DISRUPTIONS. IT CAN EXPECT MORE HURRICANES, FLOODS, DROUGHTS, HEAT WAVES, AND WILD-FIRES, COASTS WILL BE SWAMPED BY RISING SEA LEVELS. IN THE SHORT TERM, CROP YEILDS MAY INCREASE BY 5 PERCENT TO 20 PERCENT FROM A LONGER GROWING SEASON, BUT WILL PLUMMET IF TEMPERTURES RISE BY 7.2 DEGREES. THE WORLD iS'NT JUST GETTING HOTTER FROM MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING. IT'S GETTING STICKIER. IT REALLY IS THE HUMIDITY. THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR NEAR THE SURFACE-THE STUFF THAT MAKES HOT WEATHER UNBEARABLE-INCREASED 2.2 PERCENT IN JUST UNDER THREE DECADES. AND COMPUTER MODELS SHOW THAT THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING, ACCORDING TO A STUDY PUBLISHED IN TODAY'S JOURNAL NATURE. "THIS HUMIDITY CHANGE IS AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO HEAT STRESS IN HUMANS AS A RESULT OF GLOBAL WARMING," SAID NATHAN GILLET OF THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. GILLET STUDIED CHANGES IN SPECIFIC HUMIDITY, WHICH IS A MEASUREMENT OF TOTAL MOiSTURE iN THE AiR, BETWEEN 1973 AND 2002. INCREASE iN HUMiDiTY CAN BE DANGEROUS TO PEOPLE BECAUSE iT MAKES THE BODY LESS EFFiCiENT AT COOLING ITSELF, SAiD UNiVERSiTY OF MiAMi HEALTH AND CLiMATE RESEARCHER LAURENCE KALKSTEiN. HE WAS NOT CONNECTED WITH THE RESEARCH. HUMiDiTY INCREASED OVER MOST OF THE GLOBE, INCLUDING THE EASTERN UNiTED STATES, SAID STUDY CO-AUTHOR KATHARINE WiLLET, A CLiMAATE RESEARCHER AT YALE UNiVERSiTY. HOWEVER, A FEW REGIONS, INCLUDING THE U.S. WEST, SOUTH AFRICA AND PARTS OF AUSTRALIA WERE DRIER. THE FINDING iSN'T SURPRISING TO CLIMATE SCiENTiSTS . PHYSiCS DiCTATES THAT WARMER AiR CAN HOLD MORE MOiSTURE. BUT GiLLET'S STUDY SHOWS THAT THE iNCREASE iN HUMiDiTY ALREADY iS SiGNiFiCANT AND CAN BE ATTRiBUTED TO GAS EMiSSiONS FROM BURNING FOSSiL FUELS. TO SHOW THAT THiS iS MAN-MADE, GiLLET RAN COMPUTER MODELS TO SiMULATE PAST CLiMATE CONDiTiONS AND STUDiDED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN FROM JUST MAN-MADE GREENHOUSE GASES. IT DiDN'T MATCH REALiTY. HE LOOKED AT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN FROM JUST MAN-MADE GREENHOUSE GASES. THAT DiDN'T MATCH EiTHER. THEN HE LOOKED AT THE COMBiNATiON OF NATURAL CONDiTiONS AND GREENHOUSE GASES. THE RESULTS WERE NEARLY iDENTiCAL TO THE YEAR-BY-YEAR INCREASES IN HUMiDiTY. GiLLET'S STUDY FOLLOWED ANOTHER LAST MONTH THAT USED THE SAME TECHNiQUE TO SHOW THAT MOiSTURE ABOVE THE WORLD'S OCEANS INCREASED AND THAT IT BORE THE "FiNGERPRiNT" OF BEiNG CAUSED BY MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING.
