About Me

Potrait of Hope
As I accepted my position as assistant editor at the Flaming Crescent Publications of Chicago, IL in March of this year I was forced to acknowledge the fact that I'm nothing less than an echo of the voices of those who share the same hopes as I who are alive and, more importantly, those who have transcended the realm of our current reality. I, under the power of the echo of the voice of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (also know as Malcolm X), am willing to join forces with any individual, group, or entity that is sincerely interested in changing the miserable conditions that exist within our communities and on our planet.
I come to my human family as a student and soldier who is most definitely not perfect but I am, and you are, in the likeness of, in the image of perfection that is complete, supreme, and just; therefore, we shall relentlessly strive against our less than admirable intentions in order to grow into a more accurate reflection of perfection. Only then will we truly be a portrait of hope that is touched with the brush of consistency and painted with the vibrant colors of love, truth, peace, freedom, and justice—set in the frame of unity.
In the aftermath of the devastation of these days there will be increased agitation in all aspects of our lives. In the murky shadows of this upheaval there will be great obstacles and burdens and how we deal with each other in this state of chaos will authenticate, or nullify, the strength of our characters. Furthermore, in the aftermath of the devastation and agitation of these days there will be and has been a deterioration of communal structure, so we have to analyze our problems, redirect our resources, redesign our plan, and, ultimately, rebuild our communities.
The question is: what shall be the cornerstone that we set in place to build upon? This cornerstone shall be simply community, for with a proper community set in place we can build and do nearly ANYTHING. Unfortunately, community among us is not easily achieved due to the social, political, educational, and spiritual engineering that we have been a victim of for centuries; so we have to have a new approach. There's nothing new under the sun, so we really need a reconstructed approach; which shall be a cooperative one. We must cooperate with one another in all aspects of our communities or we will parish or we will be trampled upon or we will be phased out or we will be products as we once were or we will be absent in the opportunity of world affairs and opinions.
This will be our fate granted we continue to forget about the importance of community regardless of political opinion, social standing, financial status, or religious/fraternal affiliation. Again, only then will we truly be a portrait of hope that is touched with the brush of consistency and painted with the vibrant colors of love, truth, peace, freedom, and justice—set in the frame of unity.
P.S. Look forward to the advent of my national ministry!
I have an unconditional love for these streets where the reality is portrayed in the midst of incarnations of Chaos. The movement has begun so as the sun rises the Black Man devises premeditated glory. Don't worry about the pain as the checks check out. Kids are "falling out" over instruments of poverty as sure the steel was revealed. As soon as the steel is revealed the beef is killed-problems solving with demoncracy skills. Many pursue thrill so they follow hoodlum drills on the way to the field of our sorrows. Truth shall never be swallowed as long as the Truth Is Lived. . . .By The REAL today and upon the event of tomorrow. One love to the streets! The police try to beat but cooperative economics shall defeat sovereign illusions.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone I'd like to meet are dead. . . Plus, no one is more important than the people I meet on a daily basis on the streets and on myspace. I view everyday people as stars. Celebrities don't interest me because we are all celebrities. More importantly, celebrity adoration is the reason why we pursue hazardous dreams.
