Poem: Who am I?

I am:
kinky haired
bull headed
critical thinker
bush tea drinker
small in stature
big on structure
big on laughter
moving faster
unique
hard with critique
a problem solver
born evolver
a poet
a writer

POEM: Not Surprised

I'm not surprised
when people tell me lies
try to deceive me
or rob me like I'm blind

I know it's not kind
for me to feel this way
but no matter how you say it
people always have their evil streak

I'm trying to still be compassionate
and to keep my head above water
but this daughter
is not too pleased with the behavior

cause wrong is still wrong
and we should not condone it
it may seem like a bitter pill
but we must stand for what's upright

I can't let the bad hold me back
or stop me from living
or ever stop me from giving
cause this is what drives humanity

we got to love our brother
and respect the event the simplest man
because for that we can do
we need each other to survive

Prayer for November 9, 2012

O Most Holy God,

We thank you for your mercies, for your gifts and for you love. As we face another day today, we know that there are many who are hurting, who are crying and who are in pain. Father, bless them and comfort them. Only your love can sustain us and keep us going. While we try to do things on our own, it is you who are God and you are the Holy One who guides us through the good and the bad. As the Devil tempts us and tries to derail us, Lord help us and keep us on the good path. Lord, bless all the leaders of the world that they may make the best decisions for the people they lead. Give us wisdom and understanding Lord that even if we don't agree with a leader or a brother, that we may become problem solvers. Thank you for your continued blessings.

AMEN

POEM: My Road

I've been on the road

dragging along
playing
one sad song
after the other
I no longer know
my brother
and I don't ask
for directions
and I can't take
correction
Although
my reflection
is far off
it's not too far
from reality
cause even when
reality bites
just the idea of
new sites
intensify my
thoughts
and evaporate
the froth
cause I'm like
a cool cup
of coconut water
I awaken
I uplift
and I jolt you
but never be
intimidated
cause my style is not dated
it's just
the way
I do my thing

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your love and care. Guide us as we go on our daily journeys. Bless us as a nation and protect from hard. Help us to be better leaders, Lord and grant us the patience to understand our shortcomings as well as those of others. Wrap us in your blanket of love and help us to glow and radiate your joy and beauty.
