The Mystery of Black History... #Poetry
There is a certain truth that moonlight brings/
That truth is as sharp as Valyrian steel/
Sharp enough to slice through a lie/ this particular
lie/ you chose to believe just to satisfy/
The basic needs of a man’s vanity/
This lie pisses me off at times, but I’ll try to get
through this without profanity/
But I really can’t promise that/ so try not to be mad
at me/
Sitting in your chair like… Oh The Humanity!/
Cutting through the bull/ SHING!/ and down to the
white meat/
Wu Tang Clan/ style exposing a mystery to black
history/
The mystery won’t be solved however, by putting a
sword through/ or bringing attention to/ specific dates/ of the greats/ that
came before/
The mystery won’t be solved by speaking on Africa’s
riches/ the exploitation and the way governments thrive on war/
Black history wasn’t a mystery as a youth now was it?
An awareness that made us unaware at ages below 5/
So alive/ and unaware of the petty differences/ yet,
well aware however of what we felt inside/
We will carve our way down to the roots or should I
say reason for the lie/
Which makes folks believe that their skin color is
somehow more special than yours or mine/
As if our light doesn’t also shine/ as if the phoenix
that burns inside every one of us is not divine/
Like an omnipotent being couldn’t bless everyone at
the same time/
Steel sharpens steel / but how could you make that
statement real/ If you teach a child to go against what they feel/
Cutting to the truth/ our children are smarter than
us/
They trust easier than us/ living more in the now like we should do/
So in truth the mystery of black history is more about
the psychology/
Follow me/ a mind that is already young and free/ will
enslave itself willingly/ after being taught the thoughts of supremacy/
So if lies are the poison/ and truth is the remedy/
how come there are so many that learn the truth but so few show signs of
recovery/
We all know Moses probably wasn’t pale/ but wouldn’t think twice when he’s played by Christian Bale/
How we don’t mind the facts being twisted in big
budget motion pictures/ but a black Santa on a lawn would have your neighbors
whisper/
I can give you a dozen examples/ with a thousand
verses/ with a million letters/
But we all know that wouldn’t make this poem any
better/
Sort of like Haethcliff Huxtable in trademark sweater/
Having his accomplishments overshadowed like a major
city with inclement weather/
Making the mystery of black history/ less about the psychology/
or how the walls of supremacy were built/
Some of you may be surprised to see/ that the mystery
of black history/ is solved when we accept the truth about guilt/
There’s a certain truth that moonlight brings/ and
this truth is that no one likes to be corrected/
Its human nature/ and bad behavior/ but it has to be
respected/
Just expect it/ especially from an ego with a vanity
mirror pleased with its view/

Do Your Selfish Ways Serve You?
If you say that it does; I must say I’m not impressed/
you always act like you could care less/ but I’m spiritually sensitive and I
can feel your level of stress/
Damn Sun… you’re a mess/
You seem to be stuck on checkers/ playing with Rooks,
Bishops, Queens and Kings who are ready for chess/
This isn’t a game though/ and you’d be hard pressed/
to go through life treating it like some kind of contest/ where you’re trying
to be the best/
To be honest… you look like you could use some rest/
Are you working smarter or are you working harder? No
or Yes? /
Let me stop being overly critical for I myself am a
work in progress/
So I’ll digress/
We all know that “Love” is the answer to many
questions of the heart/
Yet when it comes to being a loving person most of us
don’t even audition for the part/
We’re more concerned with the reasons fake fuckers
walked away/
Instead of showing love to the ones that stay/
We’re kind of fucked up in that way/
“Squeaky wheel gets the grease” or at least/ that’s
what they say/
I would argue that selfish ways really aren’t self-serving
at all/
At least not in a long term sense/ where the get back
comes in the form of a harvest/
It seems to come back in the form of karma/ making you
blind to the light in the darkness/
But it’s not like you’re heartless/ and I truly
believe you’ll come full circle regardless/
If it’s in this life or the next/ and I really don’t
expect/ you to about face or change your ways/
If you really want to serve yourself serve others the way you wish to be served/ and that same energy will return to you some day/

#BlogTalkRadio We talk "Fearlessness & Courage" on this episode of #JMT
I walk in spirit with God's wind at my back... I think out-loud and I share those thoughts with critical thinkers. Today's thinkers just happen to be 2 beautiful females. Carolyn Blackey and Dyvacat are 2 very different versions of the strong woman. One is an accomplished poet and theater performer; The other a self professed communicator and entrepreneur with a talent for being in the right place at the right time. The spirit lead me to these ladies to instigate a dialogue about fearlessness and courage.
