This is my response to McKinney and Kalief Browder; I wrote this poem. It is called He was Right.




HE WAS RIGHT

Life is unmistakably unpredictable


One minute your here and the next is just a part of someone's year. You try to stay clear of the troubles that be.


However, its hard when Brown is all people see.


I hate the lies and my heartbreaks from seeing the cries. I still wonder why my people are the group that always dies.


They but a price on our life. With no commas in sight. They put a whip on our back so no pride is intact. The wounds have healed


But the scars are forever true. How can you be complete without all of YOU. No one knows our pain or our blues. The only time they see us literally


is when we are on the five o'clock news. All this screaming but nothing is being done. While I guess even justice takes Time-Off from a long run.


But what is a break, when we never received justice in the first place. Our Life being watered down because of RACE.


So, you mean to tell me the color of your skin really decides your earthly end? You mean that justice and equality is all pretend?


Wow! That's hard to believe, but when I really think of it; for something to be born, it has to be first conceived.


And just like Sarah, Abraham wife; I am just too old to believe. Not saying my faith is gone; But I'm tired of the long way home.


Tired of singing for a chariot to take me on. For I thought I was already there? But I guess I was wrong That's just how Life is.


Because like Langston Hughes said I'm a refugee in my own home.

RIP Muhammad Ali (The Greatest)

As you have heard the sad news by now, the great Muhammad Ali has passed on. He was laid to rest yesterday. When I say passed on, he has moved on to another journey. To another place to inspire, love, encourage, and communicate without bounds or limits. Mr. Ali is free yet again. I don't have to say what Mr. Ali meant to me. Just from past articles, tweets, and videos, you guys already know what he meant to me. He was a inspiration, hero, mentor, and someone to look up to and listen; learning and hanging on to has every word. Even if those words were 50 years old, they still hold relevance to this very day. I am keeping this post short, because no true words can describe what he meant to me, to all of us. However, I will end this post like this. Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Therefore, he was the greatest legend ALL-TIME. And, he will live on as long as WE as a PEOPLE are still ALIVE!!!!! Rest Easy Champ!!!!!!!

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

                                                          "#TheFlagMustGo" Growing up, I have seen the Confederate flag so many times I could not count. As, a Young age I knew the Flag was wrong. Then, as I got older I was about to study the origins as well as the very people who created, represented, and coveted the flag; I truly had my answer: The Flag Must Go. Before, I give my opinion; I am going to give y'all unmistakable and unarguable facts. In 1861, politician William Porcher Miles designed the flag. As I studied the very man who created the "confederacy flag." I wanted to understand his doctrine and beliefs. I wanted to see what he wanted to create, pass-down, and strength who's cau...
