///THE MESSAGE BY ME......
Be aware. Be knowledgable. When you have lived this life what will be your mark in history?
Ask not what you have done to ADVANCE yourself. Ask what you've done to ADVANCE others.
We are not all privileged. And those of us who are should consider lending a helping hand.
Get INVOLVED.
Don't focus on uplifting yourself. Uplift a community.
Peace.///THE REVOLUTIONARY BY ALVIN AUBERT......
He is bound to make something happen he is not quite sure what but he is determined he flits from flower to flower he has more legs than a hive of bees he takes everything out of them leaving them for dead.It will be a long time before anything happen. In the meantime he plies his adversary’s craft on whomever is at hand and is useful to him in that way, being bound as he is to making something happen something worthy of himself almost anything///STILL I RISE BY MAYA ANGELOU......
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 rise.Does 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 tide.
Leaving 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.
///DEMOCRACY BY LANGSTON HUGHES......
Democracy will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.I have as much right
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I'm dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.Freedom
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.I live here, too.
I want freedom
Just as you.///SAMURAI SONG BY ROBERT ......
When I had no roof I made
Audacity my roof. When I had
No supper my eyes dined.When I had no eyes I listened.
When I had no ears I thought.
When I had no thought I waited.When I had no father I made
Care my father. When I had
No mother I embraced order.When I had no friend I made
Quiet my friend. When I had no
Enemy I opposed my body.When I had no temple I made
My voice my temple. I have
No priest, my tongue is my choir.When I have no means fortune
Is my means. When I have
Nothing, death will be my fortune.Need is my tactic, detachment
Is my strategy. When I had
No lover I courted sleep.
