Soon to be the last day of the month The month we are allowed to remember The month we are to embrace all that we are The month this country tries to heal our scars But my brothers and sisters You shall not forget who you will always be Stand this proud always -- February… Continue reading FEBRUARY 27

BLACK—L💙VE
You know it's real 'cause it's perfect and it wasn't planned We had no idea how God was dealing his hand We vibe and relate on so many levels From the color of our skin to the way our hair grows You are my lover but black says you're my brother No love can replace… Continue reading BLACK—L💙VE
B—BLACK
We came: - From whips and skin-splitting lacerations And ships and being taken from our nations. - From hard times and a life of doom; Being placed in our own restrooms. We were segregated, separated, and hated. Our beauty is understated. - From our children being torn from the arms of their mothers; And running… Continue reading B—BLACK

Armed Forces blue, red, white, You remember the slain. But this. This is not your fight. Or to defy you. This… Continue reading Kneel for Righteousness, Stand for the Soldiers
The Dream-To Mr. Hughes
"What happens to a dream deferred?" It became life as I know, Mr. Hughes. It flew and soared like a bird. I came to tell you the news. I'm a credible source. You and I wear the same shoes. At times, it was desiccated. Dry, like Arizona desert sand. But now it's hydrated. A dream… Continue reading The Dream-To Mr. Hughes
