Extraordinary Ordinary Black People

Extraordinary Ordinary Black PeopleI am a social worker with no political powerWhen I speak you hear silenceI am a teacher drowning in debtWhen I shout you hear silenceI am a mother working two jobs to surviveWhen I beseech you hear silenceI am a nurse working the night siftWhen I grumble you hear silenceI am a father whose only daughter was murderedWhen I cry you hear silenceI am a cancer patient with no health insuranceWhen I pray you hear silenceBut, together we are a powerful collage…See More

A Press Release from the Color Black

Unbeautiful or misunderstood Beauty? Negativity jabs at the color black with a long pointy stick. Find optimism and joy in the color black. A Press Release from the Color Black will enlighten its readers on black's optimistic positive side, not just negative associations. The book of poetry and prose creates a new way of rethinking thoughts and gives you the chance to explore your feelings openly and honestly about the perception of skin tone, the world we live in, our place in the universe and beauty of nature.
The goal of A Press Release from the Color Black is to reinvent the color black to the entire world. Ideas once thought to be true are proven false. This is the end of the road for black's unofficial, official status of an evil gloomy Gus. The prolific untruths told about the color black no longer have credit. Readers will learn that the color black is much more than the favorite color of the grim reaper.

Loves Trellis -BAS Poetry Submission

Loves Trellis

Sleepwalking since spring

Being in love is such a fragile state

A timid daredevil

Filling the empty with anticipation

Of approaching joy

Butterfly flutter by

Love is the principal passenger

Casting spells

Upon the heart

Kissing the tears of lonely

Erasing the absence that came before

The echoes of a thousand fears

Fall on silent ears

Love lives simply

Though the rainbows arch

Painting the rising… Continue

The Color Black is Evil

The influence of positive thinking in your everyday life will change your outlook and improve optimistic energy. Keeping a positive attitude will allow you and the people you are in contact with to joy life and give you more of the satisfaction you deserve. The first step to improving your attitude is to turn a negative into a positive. Have you heard the saying "Every cloud has a silver lining?" The book A Press Release from the Color Black turns the supposed negative color in the crayon box… Continue

Your support would be greatly appreciated, and if you will, please pass this info. along to your friends, if not I still love you, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Most of you already know that I have written a book entitled; There's Something Phony About "US" the church which deals with us who say we're saved, but nothing about our lifestyle supports our claim. But what you may not know is that when you purchase my book, 10% of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society(my grandfather died from prostate cancer), and also the American heart association(my grandmother died from a massive heart attack). There are two books to choose from. You can purchase the books for just $12, or $18 by clicking on the links below. Let's help put an end to these 2 diseases that's affecting all people alike. So, on behalf of Myself, the Kingdom of God, my grandmother, and my grandfather, thank you very much for your support! May God continue to bless each and everyone of you. Please click on the link below to purchase or preview my book. Love you to Life!!!!
