Black Men and White Women - An Epidemic?

Are they trying to say that a black man being seen with a white woman is an honor of some sort? T… Continue

Caged

Caged Freedom to dwell wherever I tread Not confined to locations with boundaries Zoning, districts, busing Unleash me so I can roam free To see mountains and rivers and trees of all sorts To open up and breathe in fresh air Somewhere where the sky is not blocked but in plain view Uncage me so I can go FREE.

The Heart That Keeps On Beating

THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING It has the most important job. Wounded yet it never skips a beat. There is no gluing or stitching involved, it just continues to work, as if oblivious to attacks. It’s a wonder and many are in awe of it. It’s the pumper of life. Sometimes it’s carelessly handled and is crushed easily. Many are not conscious of its fragileness. It is the holder of emotions and takes a direct hit when trampled upon. Shattered, broken and cracked in many places, however never gi… Continue

Worry

WORRY Worry is to feel or express great care and anxiety, to fret. To worry is to have something constantly on the mind and agonizing over it. It can give a sick feeling. It can also be expressed through speech and action. The mind is agitated and there are complaints, there is impatience and irritability. In other words, there is no peace. Sometimes worry can consume hours, days even weeks out of your life. You try to throw it off, but it clings like static. It clings like a tick on an unsusp… Continue

HANG UP THE PHONE!

HANG UP THE PHONE! 10 to 15 years ago, the number of people who owned a cell phone was much less than it is today. I can remember having a cell phone when many people didn’t. However, post-9/11 has made having a cell a necessity. I know this is true, being a person born and raised in New York City. Cell phones should be used while driving only in the case of emergencies. They should be used with hands-free devices such as earpieces or Bluetooth equipment. There should never be a time when a d… Continue
