SUCH HYPOCRISY IN AMERICA
People actually hated Barack Obama before he won the presidency- The complexion of his skin didn’t sit right with some folks, not because he was involved in any scandals. In my opinion, as far as race matters are concerned in America, we took several steps back in history. Even blacks still criticize Obama harshly. They wanted more from him and feel let down. However, I don’t hear many critics denouncing the HATE that exists in our own communities. When are people going to STAND UP AND SPEAK UP in the neighborhood? Stop using Social Media to air out your grievances, if you aren’t willing to take them to the streets. Any type of hate is WRONG and violence towards a group of people, based solely on the color of their skin, their religion, their sexual orientation or sexual preference(etc. You get the point), is purely vile and UNJUSTIFIED. One day, we will have a president that most people will like and can trust again. A president that will work hard to unite the country and not divide us. Don’t be used as pawns in a game with undesirable leadership. Be a positive influence and impact others instead of waiting for a man or woman to save the consciousness of our people. And when I say “our”, I mean, everyone… black, white, and other. Our children’s lives are at stake. If you knowingly like, support and vote for a biased person for any organization or political office, that would mean to some of us, that you are complicit in the bias and that their hysteria is warranted. Don’t feed the fire with chants. Stop fanning the flames of bigotry. Be a voice of reason and express yourself in a dignified manner. A person of good moral character knows how to effectively get their messages across without crossing the line. Stop mocking others for the way they protest, if you aren’t suggesting other possible tactics to support the cause. Don’t be a hypocrite from a distance… Be a force to be reckoned with, on the front lines.

WONDERING EYES
Would you rather be blind and wise or become stricken with dumbness and be filthy rich?
Only fools seek more from everything in the pursuit for happiness instead of counting small blessings already in their possession
Even with closed eyes, one can see clearly the meaning of life the purpose for living and find numerous reasons to smile
The wise see through discerning eyes They know the truth of peace the secret to wealth and the power of love
If you are an inquisitive kind, then you too, must continually seek knowledge of your history your culture your family
Feed your mind! Success comes to dreamers and believers Wake up to realize- God is love He provides for those who help themselves and those who give freely to the less fortunate
Visualize your goals tap into that stored energy Your every existence is to be fruitful, productive and generous Always remember- fortune and fame are not the end game It is okay to be curious keep those eyes open wide Your fascination with the unknown need not be contained Allow your wondering eyes to guide you for many miles Let your imagination propel your spirit forward but not to seek money or material gain Be in search of honesty behind lies integrity within humanity grace and harmony that can be found scattered around the world It’s alright to express excitement with each moment Be in awe as you look ahead towards your destination Enjoy every minute of your journey with wondering eyes
My personal mission consists of uncovering the secrets of little girls and boys shattering their fears and destroying the monsters that plague them
Children see their surroundings with wondering eyes and to their amazement and surprise nothing seems impossible Children require constant care Children need support with their small ideas and big aspirations It is our responsibility to nurture them It is our duty to remind them- Go to God in prayer As long as we put our faith in him, we will never be left in darkness Unexpectedly, we all somehow lose our way
With wondering eyes we can easily become disoriented
On your best day, be a light to others Come to know God’s worth teach the ignorant display kindness preach to the hesitant lead the weak with your wondrous sight be understanding remain patient be true to yourself and stay humble
Fools deserve forgiveness. No one is perfect The meek will inherit the earth Open your eyes those wondering eyes Be inspired God gave us eyes to see eyes to witness miracles eyes to gaze at each other’s amazing beauty God had mercy on everyone
Our eyes have the ability to focus on our dreams our wondering eyes are capable of seeing impossible things and taking notice of beautiful human beings.
Change your direction and Change your perspective!

About Me, The Poet
I am a human. I am a black girl, who loves God. I’m able to walk on two feet and speak about my ideals and ideas. I’m blessed to be alive.
I am constantly learning and thinking of new insightful “food for thought” to share.
I love nature and all beautiful things (and some not so pretty things too). I believe that life is a matter of interpretation and I’m grateful to be able to see, hear and experience it all.
My interests in books vary but naturally, since I am a poetic kind of girl, I gravitate towards poetry and philosophy. I do enjoy a good mystery drama. As a newfound hobby, I have been buying lots of gardening books lately. They are mesmerizing as well as informative. I am a reader of anything that sparks my imagination to stay motivated in my pursuit of knowledge and happiness.
I am a writer of quirky and spiritual things. I am proud to be a newly published author. I write because it frees my mind of so many words that are fighting to be released. I am at peace with what I write about. My book is a collection of my sense of the world and its unique possessions. I am passionate about my book’s contents.
I know that everyone has a story to tell and I enjoy sharing and swapping tales. My notebook is a necessity to me and a special friend that holds precious meaning. If we were to be departed ( my notebook and me) I’d be torn to pieces.
