Oh, Oppressed…don’t be Hopeless!!!
The Oppressed-Peoples of the World have always been ignored… …from the Native-Americans and to the Australian-Aborigines… …The Oppressor has used superiority to seize lands and horde… …the original inhabitants ridiculed for fighting their enemies… …Everyone abandons them & the World has their eyes closed… …just like what happened in Rwanda, no wants… Continue reading

I’m One with the Wind:
I am that newly fallen Leaf, in October… …flying in the Wind, when Summer’s over. I dash across the seas & oceans, like the Atlantic… …leaving all stress behind me, I’m not at all frantic. You cannot keep-up with me, I’m up, too high, in the Sky… …You didn’t want me when I was here,… Continue reading

This is what “True-Freedom” tastes like:
Honestly, it doesn’t matter whether you release an individual of their physical-shackles, if you don’t release them of their spiritual & mental shackles,as well, they’re still a Slave. Slavery can only truly be abolished if the soul, mind, and body are freed…all three must be freed, in order for someone to truly experience True-Freedom. And,… Continue reading

My thoughts on MLK, Jr. and the “MLK-Legacy”:
What can I say to ever give justice to this man? Nothing. Himself, along with countless individuals, of all creeds, ethnicities, nationalities, genders & political-orientations, led the world towards a global fight to end tyranny & injustice. Many of his efforts have been duly highlighted in the annals of American & World-History, which is why… Continue reading

Nature’s narrative:
American-Trees!!! If only these Trees could talk: They would tell of the first Africans arriving at their shores. The men turned into slaves, the women turned into whores. Constantly beaten, told to work & serve. Torturing anyone, with courage or nerve. If only these Trees could talk: They would recall our people being stripped of… Continue reading
