The Opening

Welcome

My Genesis

The Mundane CriesWorking Against Myself

It was a late summer's night as I walked home with a girl I had a thing for,

Elizabeth. Shes a friend of mine of which I have this intense attraction for. And this

attraction makes this more than awkward; the desire for someone so close can drive aperson to envy and all kinds of irrational thinking. I guess the reason things never really

fell in place for Elizabeth and I was either she was with someone or I was. We just never

had that open opportunity.

I was excited to be walking home with Elizabeth, because this was my

opportunity to make this night a lasting impression in her mind. So I jump out in front of

her smiling as I walked backward, Elizabeth then smiles back at me for a split secondthen she lowered her head and eyes to the ground, but the smile never left her face. I

stopped in front her to take in the view. The way she expressed her shyness made

everything about that moment beautiful. I had become filled with this feeling of joy andall I could do was smile to myself. I then removed my eyes from her begin to walk

alongside her again.

As we continued to walk Elizabeth turns to me and says, It feels good tonight.

Whats funny is I jumped to the conclusion that she was talking about the attractionbetween us, so I grab her hand and tell her, Yeah it does feel good. Elizabeth then

smiles at me as she says, yeah I love summer nights its perfect you can look up at the

night sky without being interrupted by a single chill. I was hit with a small jolt of

embarrassment, but I quickly realized that I didnt really mess up. She was still holdingmy hand thats when I saw my opening to make this night perfect for her, so I look at her

and say, this night, this moment, you its all beautiful.

Elizabeth smiled at me as she looked into my eyes then she asked me, What doyou know of beauty, outside of the superficial cultural standards?" I noticed Elizabeth

was attempting to go deep, so I told her, Here's a little secret its self-knowledge thatallows us to see ourselves in a complete picture. As we begin to understand who we are

we find self-acceptance, confidence and above all the love of self. If you can eliminate

the one sided view of yourself youll be able to fully see the beauty, mysteries and

horrors within yourself and in others. If you think about it we find beauty in things we

appreciate. And if we look to the world to validate our beauty we desire to have theirattention fixated on us and some part of who we are wants their acceptance. The qualities

we admire in others we desire for ourselves, now rather or not the individual realizes heor she can obtain these qualities lies in how well the individual knows itself. One thing I

learned though is that beauty is abstract everyone has their own preferences when it

comes to taste. Different strokes for different folks Elizabeth replied, exactly so ifbeauty is in the eye of the beholder what eye do you have on yourself and what do you

know of what you see. You can either see yourself for better or worse its all based on

your knowledge of yourself. Its good to keep in mind that beauty is an abstract idea but

its energy has changed the consciousness of creatures on this planet dramatically. Ourability to appreciate life gives our consciousness value of quality which in turn gives life

value.

Elizabeth looks at me, smiles and says, I want to finish this conversation can we go back

to your place? Everything was falling into place I put my hand out and Elizabethgrabbed holds of it. I then tell her, lets do it, we have only time and each other.

Elizabeth and I proceeded to walk to my place continuing to talk on the way.

Elizabeth had asked me, What drove you to want to understand beauty? I was hesitant

to answer, I was nervous I had never really told anyone why I found interest in thesubject of beauty. I began thinking about covering the story with a lie to save my image,

but I decided to tell her the truth. I explained to her the best way I could, saying to her,

well I was dealing with an image complex. I had bouts with the man in the mirror, but it

wasnt over it my physical appearance, it was my understanding of myself. Growing upin the ghettos of America, I had nothing growing up and I use to compare personal wealth

to material wealth because the image of our materialistic society. I used to have this, Im

not enough because I dont have enough stigma. Growing up I wasnt like the people Igrew up around I didn't want the hood image but to have that feeling of belonging I lived

a lie. I believe it was the lying to myself rather the acceptance of others issue. I find now

people like me just fine as I' am. But before I accepted this I used to want to be someone I

didn't want to be in the future. I didnt know exactly what I wanted for myself so I had to

figure out what it meant to be my own man and still to this day I'm learning what thatmeans. To me being my own man meant not becoming a product of my environment, yet

I lacked the confidence to do better because I believed I couldnt do better than the nigga

from the hood. I guess thats why I travel a lot some may call it running, I call it seeing

what the world has out there for me.

After telling Elizabeth that I kind of feared her response, Elizabeth looks at me

and says, I wouldnt call it running there are a lot of people who conform rather thengetting from underneath themselves. Everybody says their unique but not everybody

expresses that uniqueness, I think its because its easier to follow than to lead a life of

your own. I mean if you think about it youre one in 6.9 billion every individual is. The

entire universe is teeming with diversity I think its only natural to feel different and ittakes courage to be unique. I say who cares what others think; see what the world has to

offer you how else would you know what you have to offer the world. I was impressed

by the response I smiled at her and took her words in as we arrived at my doorstep.

I turned to face her and asked, Are you ready to enter?

My Genesis

A life that fell not too far from the poet tree was gathered in a basket of good and evil,although all he really saw was people.

Not knowing who was what the people lived with distrust, so the poet didnt have ampleopportunities to open up.

And since these opportunities rarely opened up he would go into his own zone inside

himself, the only place he could really call home.

Everywhere else he had to pray for mercy, strength, and know how just as a soldierwithout his sword and a broken shield.

The fears of this battle had done a good job at breaking his will.

He was sitting alone one day with his mind at ease, not quite at peace but comfortablenone the least.

He recollected his life and words flowed through his experiences that give him clarity to

the things hes was seeing and being.

He began to speak to himself in poetic expressions he was amazed at the way he couldgive his word such direction.

His lack of faith in self soon burned as an illusion before his eye as he found that burning

desire deep inside.

His prudence made him aware it would best to write this down so as not to forget.

From his mind through his pen he put his soul in print.

The Mundane Cries

As a child I thought my imagination would never end.

That I could reach any height and that the world was a loving friend.

As I began to grow and the more I was taught to know, life began to show that the

systematic social schemes are more real than a childish dream.

I have been programmed to a preset of rights and wrongs.

I was Educated in a system that would raise me to the height of a pawn.

Get married have kids and teach the same to your spawn.

Suddenly life lost all its magic with the conformity.

And all that is real in me must be kept in dormancy.

All my free thoughts are but bird in the window, for there are people in certain positionsthat tell me what I should know.

Im constantly reacting to life as I was taught to know it.

With all the mediocrity, and hypocrisy, I borrow from the past or run to the future to

move through it.

I wonder what my younger me would think of me living this life constantly running

without taking a moment to just be.

Working against Myself

Okay I get it now the trick is to put words to my feelings, so I guess Ill begin with the

wounds that need healing.

The truth is the child that didnt have anything grow up was trapped in the mind state that

I wasnt enough.

A negative reputation now surrounds my very name, outside Im showing pride insideIm fighting pain.

I find myself losing to my own head game and with everything I put myself through who

knows if trust for self-still remains.

Its clear that Im only defeating me, destroying all that I could be because I fell into ahole on path thats incomplete.

I have written the inferior mental script now Im an actor in my own shortcomings flick.

I have sabotaged my own success by not seeing through the things I attempted to do.

Ive set goals then let them go because I treated them as something greater then myself

overwhelmed by my own fear looking for help.

And even though its help I may need the advice of others I dont heed.

My mistakes have gotten the best of me as these frustrations build they get harder toignore.

This is what I convinced myself that Im nothing more, that theres nothing more.

The Poet Awakens

Way down in Reggies deep a bonafide cat had awakened from his sleep.


10/87

10

He looked up at the light and said, I got a long way to go, so he got dressed with the

knowledge to impress and headed for the glow.

He brought with him visions of grandeur that Reggie had never seen.

He is, The Poet and he tapped Reggie on the shoulder and told about the dream.

Hey kid the gift of life allows you to make history, so its time to express the soul

vividly. Know this that the solidification of your potential comes with the actualizationsof your goals. So have no worries the bonafide become fortified as life and time unfolds.

All you have to do is stay true to your pursuit and allow me to be with you in everything

you do. So shall we put our footprints in the sands of time?

Reggie was overwhelmed with a feeling of joy as his mind expanded with possibilities

and his heart was filled with hope.

He then says to The Poet, lets go, show me all I need to know.

The poet then says, My brother you are alive with a human mind come in here where wemove beyond space and time. The imagination shows us possibilities still exist, so how

do you imagine yourself in your mind?

Reggie replied, Um, I guess maybe ahh I guess I dont really know Im confusedabout my own self wow.

Then The Poet says, hey kid, dont bring yourself down. Just imagine your rising andsee you have to start from the ground.

My brother you have to understand the, "I am".

You as an individual have the ability to control your own life.

Freedom is your birthright and as a child of God your potential holds great might.

Your higher mind is considered bright because clear comprehension is the light.

So get to know yourself and that kind you are one of.

Will the power of the creator self and rise above.

Life is what you make of it every day you greet the day.

After you make your bed you explore your space.

Take your time to take in the information of your on life journey and expand your

awareness.


11/87

11

Take the info and send it on the creators way from your mind to the world: analyze,synthesize, manifest.

Use your thoughts and mental attitudes to create your experiences.

Will your emotions and choose how you wish to animate your appearances.

It is important to remember the mind will always return to the sender.

So be careful of what you wish for no, better yet be sure.

Because you will attract what you create in this world.

I say that to say this you are the one who decides.

Your choices are your choices and how you pattern those choices makes your path in thislife.

If you havent noticed yet your mind is infinite in both potential and possibility.

And inside that mind resides you a soul that is naturally free.

Now when a man realizes he is free he can become what he wishes to be.

The infinite mind is forever present waiting to support your cause.

And without exception as all things your decisions are governed by natural law.

Yes every cause has its effects my brother and for your decisions karma is the law.

So what you choose to do with your life matters after all.

Right actions create right results as wrong actions create wrong results.

This you should know by now as an adult.There are those who use the law of karma to their advantage and those who ignore karma

and punish themselves in their own bondage.

Karma will always regulate your decisions yet this is what gives us values and lets usknow love is given.

That is why the greatest commandment is to love others as you love yourself because you

are a part of it all.


12/87

12

It is love that raises man to a higher cause.

Giving him the ability to rise from underneath and above himself to answer greater calls.

Now this law comes into effect by way of thought.

Thought is a powerful phenomenon that manifests itself in more ways then youve

thought.

Like for instance the conditions that an individual lives in are a result of his thoughts.

Your physical, psychological, sociological, emotional and economic states are manifestforms of thought.

All you have to do is think about it.

What you direct your thoughts to do shall create an effect.

You choose the life you want to live and your will shall be given a way as the mindreflects.

Your purpose in this life is significant if you simply make it so, all you need to do isknow, act, and grow.

Using your thoughts to your advantage is only smart so be smart about it and live aware.

Live aware of the fact that your decisions have effects here.

The pattern of ones thinking becomes constructed by mind to be played out in your

experience.

So I ask you my brother, with such life and power what are going to do with it?

You have to know what kind of impact youre going to make and take action becausewith or without your desired input life goes on.

Conscious or unconscious the process of creativity goes on.

The infinite creative activity in the universe assures that time will wait for no man.

The mind stays active and matter stays in motion.

My brother you must recognize that you are a child of God as are all who second this

notion.


13/87

13

And for those who believe this to be wrong tell em my friend creation goes on.

Never turn off that divine light, you have creative power by divine right.

Cosmic artist thats what you are a free mind in vast universe of stars.

Use your power of creation to dream of new beginnings.

Will your thoughts to design a way execute it and see it through to the ending.

And then begin again because creation goes on my friend.

Direct your creative power and get what you want for yourself.

You must know what you want and try not to draw in anything else.

Surround yourself with thoughts of success to further solidify your faith.

This will add to your confidence and mental strength.

This way you become inspired to do greater things.

As you draw in the life that uplifts your being.

As a poet you will always draw in the greatest beauty because to give it to the world is

your duty.

This way you may uplift others.

This cant be accomplished if your thoughts are negative.

Negativity will manifest the conditions for failure and thats not why we started this.

Do not fall from self -defeat or sabotage.

You are a child of God do math it is the positive that rises above.

Duh!

The negative mental attitudes and counterproductive behavior hinders your potential!

That is way looking up is essential!

Break the barrier of your limitations and go beyond.


14/87

14

You have been given a power to fulfill this mission for greatness you have embarked

upon.

So use it.

Now strength is acquired by first having a positive mind state.

So as to assure youll obtain the right mental attitude to obtain the right result you wish to

create.

Tell yourself you are the power then get full of yourself and become powerful.

Draw upon the strength of the limitless and use it for your advantage.

Now as a poet your greatest strength is, understanding.

Your ability to communicate with others must be outstanding for successful inwardplanting.

So fill yourself with the power you desire and use it to obtain the life you wish to acquire.

First of all you have to build your I tell yourself you are a Poet and as such your wordswill be among the most powerful words ever quoted. Love yourself believe in your

abilities and you can truly can be all can be. All you have do my brother is see, see who

are. My brother youre a creator, you are greater the stars. Look inside next time you look

up see that you are enough. Life is truly what you make of it so what are you creating,

and dont sit around debating. You have to know what you want and believe you have it,you know something you always wanted. Cant you see it now only you yourself can

keep you down? But Im here to help pick you up off the ground, come on my brother

were outer limits bound.

Full of excitement Reggie shouts out what do I have to do.

The Poet replied die. you have to kill the old you. You have to let go of your presentidea of yourself to be re born into something else. Are you ready to die, are you ready say

goodbye?

Reggie tells the poet, I think so?

The Poet replies, If you think so then do so. I want you to create a poem for the funeral

sign yourself off my brother.


15/87

15

Reggie says with pleasure, I place in this shoe box the memory of who I used to be.Goodbye former me. I do this so that I may be free to be whoever I want to be. Just know

you will always have a place in my heart it was our experience that made the art but I no

longer dread the start that is why we must part. Dont worry Ill never forget where I

came from. That is why I must go so that there can be a from. So as I bury this box inmy past I feel kind of sad because he was all I thought I had. Rest in Me.

The Poet then says to Reggie, Hey now youre getting it, I love it, but a little wisdom to

you it anit this easy. Old habits die hard listen and believe me. Youre not out the gatejust yet but the powers in the steps. There will be times when want to give up thats when

you look inside and get up. Stay diligent and patient then youll see what characters madeof. Keep your focus through the obstacle because when its all said and done you can say

you have won. So stay on your toes it was the way you were meant to move and

remember giving in to fear is the only way you lose.

Now I shall give you the powers of the poet. But first let us give thanks to those whohave come before us

The mothers, fathers, shamans, and healers.

The alchemist, medicine men and seers.

I speak of the poets, prophets, philosophers, and preachers.

To the naturalist, the psychologist and teachers.

We give thanks to the little boy in the ghetto whose fathers in prison, and the father in

prison spilling his soul on paper for answers.

We are grateful for the writers, musicians, and dancers. We will never forget the lovers,

the heart broken, and the shy romancer.

Just as reality was created from itself, so too do you use this power to create your

individual life from yourself.

Every human being goes through the same things.

Different story lines but its all the same life that belongs to the unseen.

So know that everything you achieve as a poet you have achieved for another.

Thats how you become a keeper of thy brothers.

Give the power to the people help make the playing field equal.


16/87

16

Humanity doesnt need another peace song humanity needs to recognize Gods

own.

Thank you, humanity for giving life to the word. And most of all thank you God for our

gift of the world a world in which man may create so it is to you we give praise.

Okay lets get to the business at hand; I want to see you put life into that hand and pen. It

is your turn to speak to the world of men.

To be honest Im here to entertain so lets dive deeper into the right hemisphere of my

brain.

As I stare off into space my mind paints me a scene as my imagination turns my day intodream, everything is not what it seems.

Yes here is nothing as it seems come lets turn our day a dream.


19/87

Death of the Dreamer

In a world of broken dreams rarely what we souly desire is ever seen.

Shadows of expectations shy us from the true meaning of faith, as the heart cries in fearwith faint hopes of a better day.

Why do we find it hard to envision an experience where we awaken our sleeping beauty?

Why do we allow the fear of judgments to weaken our courage as we hold on to the

reality of losing.

That ignorance of ignoring what we really are inside brings forth the conformed and

unsatisfied.

The lost will never find their way with blind eyes.

For it is only with a vision that the beautiful dreamers find the light of their life and rise.

Dream Big Dreamers

I have a life story to create what shall I make of it?

I have a ego to mold what shall I build with it?

With such questions to answer one cant help but dream big.

One cant help but feel stronger knowing that something greater inside still lives.

All it takes is will power to bring the dreams of your day into the days of your of life.

Anyone without a great vision is blind because their greatness is not within their own

sight.

DREAMERS, DREAM BIG & LIVE

Head in the Thought Clouds

I let my curiosity expand my imagination as I explore the possibilities of what could be.

Im a creator I have the power to produce so I use my questions to pursuit what it is I

should do.

I imagine these possibilities are in bubbles and that Im popping the ones that I dont

want to manifest.

I explore greater and greater bubbles by imagining the more interesting probabilities and

getting higher as I assess.

I feel as if I beat time as I look into greater futures in the present.

Life is truly what you make of it but I must remember that the effort is greater than thelesson.

DREAMERS, DREAM ON AND PRODUCE STRONG

Suffering in Love


22/87

22

I gave her my highest love and received my greatest fear.

Because now I am wondering will she disappear?

What I found I couldnt afford to lose.

As her departing footsteps gives me rhythmic blues.

My jealousy slowly grows the more I see she is the one.

Because her smile is the reason I wake up in the morning she defeats the sun.

My anger swells every time she tries to achieve space.

Because my heart pounds every time I see her face.

So I change and rearrange my whole plan, to make sure she finds all she needs in me, so

she doesn't look for it another man.

I step into a bigger reality I could lose her at any second.

So I withdraw and act like I don't worship her presence.

So I try to find safety nets girls I can consider next.

All along I know it's only sex.

If my love knew I was doing she'd curse my very breathe.

Trapped in my own fear I start to lose sight ofwhats real.

And now I start to blame her for all that's insecure.

I now create space and wait until the day; she shows me I can't be replaced.

As time passes by I build my ego and make her and I believe that she has the most to

lose. Convincing myself that it's her fault for what I'm going through.

It's over now because what were once smiles on a sunny day have now become rainydays full of tears.

I lost my greatest love to my darkness fear to my greatest fear, all because I never keptmy intentions clear.


23/87

23

Rise

Rise and shine sunbird see the day as pure as the blue sky.

Step outside and greet the world as the creator self with beautiful golden smile.

See that the darkness cannot hide the light only manipulate its glow, so fly free above it

all to let the Universe know.

The Underdog

Man I came from the gutters and Im tired of being rained on so Im aiming for the sky so

I can make rain on em.

Reaching until Im lost in the suns shine and become illuminated with this little of mine.

With so many complex thoughts my heart still grinds I been through it all got battle scars

lost many kin.

I lost it all and had to head to the drawing board to rebuild again.

I came from the school of the hard knocks in the class with the have nots trying to look

ahead from the last spot.

For you see I come as the underdog and from here the stars seem oh so far.

So when I dream I see what in my heart and I keep aced sleeve in case I have to changemy cards.


26/87

26

Mirrors in the Hall

As I walk into this hall at the other end is a bright light.

But along the path are mirrors of a perceptional life.

The mirror reflects me through my every thought.

Everything from the sublime to the extreme I should nots.

I soon become captivated by the mirror's tricks.

The more I put myself into it, the more of myself I forget.

Now I am torn between

Love and fear

Laughter and tears

Darkness and light

Death and life

Pleasure and pain

The loss and the gain

Virtues and sin

The beginning and the end.

Dazed and confused Im no longer moving down my path.

Im stuck in a self-reflective mind game, manifested by the mirror's trap.


27/87

27

Plugging in the Sky

Wandering around wondering rather or not I have open eyes, on my journey in the dark

in search of a power source to plug in the sky, so that I may look up and look toward anew day in this old world.


28/87

28

Beautiful Dawn

My love, you I have not forgot.

For I always see you in my thoughts.

I smile to myself even now.

As I remember your smile.

One of my favorite things in this life is a beautiful dawn.

So raise your heart and face as the sun and smile with joy, my beautiful Dawn.


29/87

29

The Land of Shadows

I come from the land of the black Sun and the red Moon.

Where no matter what the path the ultimate thought is will be dead soon.

Here Ignorance and Condition blinds us from the True meaning of Love, Equality, andFreedom.

We grow jealous and envy the free birds as we watch them leavin.

Surely they are not greater than "I", so it's their Ego that needs depleting.

We feed our Ego's with worldly possessions and define ourselves through power it's ouronly obsession.

In the dark days we seek our prey and attack in the bloody nights.

And it is for Power we will fight until we all stand in our Personal Light.


30/87

Why Must She Feel Blue?

All that she ever lived for was love it's her only urge, the human embodiment of a

beautiful dove.

She has no peace of mind, because she looks for her pieces blind.

Reaching for the world but, unaware to her causes underline.

Her true addiction is pleasure, so she feels her destiny is pain.

So to her happiness and suffering goes by the same name.

Any man, women, or child could see the angel in her smile.

But just as a flower is unaware of is unaware of reflection, she too does not know the

extent of her perfection.

She was once open to the world, until certain weights closed the door.

Trapped in her own obsessions all she wants is more.

Searching in the dark for what she already has.

Trying to hold on until the day she'll finds that Love at last.

One of the Hardest Things

Rachel was sitting at her front door heart sore, feeling as if she lost it all.

And like an autumn leaf she could do nothing except break apart and fall.

After her a private moment of mourning Rachel got up to get it together before her

daughter came home from school.

She had to find the strength to face her baby girl and break the news.

Her daughter came home to find her mother at the kitchen table sitting alone.

Denise saw that her mother was grieving, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Rachel said to her, "Baby sit down I have something important to tell you."

As Denise sat down they locked eyes then the moment became harder to bear through.

Rachel fought to get the words out but her sorrow her weighed them down.

She closed her eyes as if to look the courage to utter the sounds.

She then took a deep breath as if to release the emotional barrier on her voice.

Rachel then grabbed Denise's hand with her will power holding her heart up with a hoist.

She tells Denise, "Honey your father's not coming home."


32/87

32

Shes Gone

She say it's all for the best, then tell me why it feels like the world just collapsed in mychest.

My emotions are weighting down on my words making them hard to express.

One moment she's the one then the next she's the ex.

I have been driven into the madness of fighting sadness, once again my heart knows pain

as it gets heavy & tight.

I'm wide-awake and insecure thinking throughout the night.

Because the thought & feeling of being her mistake weighs heavy.

As look for the strength to stay steady and accept she's a part of pass; I'm losing itbecause I lost someone I never really had.


33/87

Sending Out a Light String

As I spoke to her from a distance I understood the meaning of so close yet so far.

It seems as if the only way I was going to feel her touch was if it was written in the stars.

Yearning for a biological chemistry my heart continues to find the words to reach out toher.

Attached to the pass hoping this bond will bring us together again in the future.

I long for the moment when we can renew me and you.

Until then my friend I'll shorten my alphabets because I'll be missing U.


36/87

36

Putting Together Words to a Puzzle

As the precision of my words becomes closer to the truth they have profound effects.

That is why I remain dedicated to the enhancement of my understanding of life and howwe all connect.


37/87

37

One of a Kind

Never have I met a girl like you, when I tell of your tales I find myself questioning thetruth.

One of Kind a Queen of Hearts, with a pack of crayons to make the hand you was dealt

your own work of art.

A beautiful rainbow you are like the perfection of the sun & the rain as the meet.

In my time I doubt and hope to never find another so unique.

Stay lovely love.


38/87

38

Intoxicated By You

She is my herb and my wine, I feel her in my blood as the needle and in my head just asthe line.

When she touches my tongue she gets me Lifted in the Sky with Diamonds.

When Im with her were out in our own zone; with no track of timing.

She gives me pleasure out this world she is pure ecstasy.

On this trip of my manifesting mind shes right there next to me.

I cant ignore this girl she gives me the strength to take on the world.

But as my tolerance builds will I become a fiend and if so I wonder how shed feel aboutcreating a junkie.

Baby nobody can hold my soul like you do its like youre the only one who loves me.

I dread the moments when Im trying to convince myself this is the last time becausewhen the time comes Im not prepared for what Id have to do because

Im intoxicated by you

The Madness

As we continue to move in our mad ways with no change we still see terrorism religious

and government corruption.

We live in a M.A.D age, as nations are capable of Mutual Assured Destruction.

Theres conflict in the motherland within the Holy Fathers land.

Love lost like the very lives of our fellow men.

The pain, the cruelty, drugs and weapons the governments cant control.

Its hunger in the world yet the population continues to grow.

We continued to breed and breathe our hatred into the future; wed rather see life as abitch rather than become her suitor.

If we continue to ignore what the wise has to tutor, we will continue to see less supermen

and more Lex Luthers.

It is common knowledge that man has only evolved from his jungle even though we try towalk in the divine inside we still stumble.

Because at the end of the day predator continues to seek prey, and master will seekpuppet; dominance humankind loves it.

We are closer to the beast then what we care to admit and the temptation of power is hardto resist and as long as those powers are misdirected the hard times shall persist.

Art is War

As a creator I must be secure in my art for the insecure shall have a damaged heart.

So before I face the judgments of the crowd in the arena I pray to the gods for protection.

As an artist I put myself out there with my artistic expressions as my weapon.

To Face off against those with the same obsession for artistic perfection.

As I stand in my present state I look ahead to a higher place.

But what I see is not the inner peace I once wanted to achieve.

Now it is the fame, the wealth, the power, and prestige.

So yet again I find myself eye to eye with a devilish fiend.

For to obtain all these things I must be the best, which means I have to look down on

those, I sought to help bring up.

I might find fear in those who appear to measuring up as the battle of self-wealth

continues to wage until I am enough.

This isnt love this is the hungering spirit whose driven by power and the thrill tocompete.

Looking down at this mental pattern the missing threads I can now see, the fear of failurecan get you the apex does not guarantee one will be complete.

The Super Power

We the people if untied under a common cause are a GREAT POWER.

The strength of the people is the super power and our desire to be there for one another is

the light in our darkest hour.

Because through all conflict we still have many who will not let their brother down.

We will reach out to lift up mind, body, and soul making smiles out frowns.

A body of people will fall without its heroes who are willing to sacrifices themselves for

the greater good of their people.

It is through the progression of great minds that encourage the growth of the group.

In our pursuit to live in harmony the Unification of Humanity is here to recruit.

The U of H knows that together we are strong.

That is why here at the U of H we take care of our own.

The Soul in the Machine

The human body is an entity not an identity an organic machine made of parts that

represent a physical whole.

Ill begin with the skeletal frame, the supportive structure of the body.

It outlines the shape, keeps the organs incased and has a center of gravity.

As the tissue makes up the muscles that make up the organs we get the image of flesh.

The flesh has the ability to produce force at will and exert it over an extended period, yet

without the will the body shall remain at rest.

In cased in the vertebral canal is the spinal cord that stems to the brain.

The nervous system maps out the nerves of the entire frame.

A nerve transmits stimuli from the CNS to the body& from the body to the CNS.

Cranial nerves belong to the functions of the cranium & brain giving us facial sensory &movement this is where are I-ness exist.

Spinal nerves supply the trunk, limbs, & muscles.

The plexus is a network of nerves & blood vessels

Veins carry blood into the heart as arties carry the blood away.

The motor neuron initiates an active connection with effectors tissue contacting with end

plates this is how we sway.

All that is left to be seen is the ghost in the machine.

Parts assembled to maintain a vessel, while I observe from behind the face where mythoughts constantly echo.

I got a world at my feet, so I can reach for the sky and actualize all I can be.

So its time to break loose and breakout with this breakthrough I face now.

If my life is to say something it must have a message.

What impression shall I leave in this world how shall I effect it.

As I stare in the mirror into my own eyes, I prepare to give definition to my own I.

The Philosophers Stoned

What awaits us around realitys turn who knows?

Uncertainty is what truly troubles the soul.

It grips us with fear and distrust and without that trust we find doubt.

And this doubt draws our insecurities out.

This in turn weakens our decision-making causing our highest choice to be held within.

It is at this point we start to see the madness a raise from men.

Doubt drives to see potential loss and failure.

There is no concrete evidence most of the time it is merely imagined curse on theirendeavors.

Now people I could be totally wrong please keep in mind the philosophers stoned.

On Second Thought

Every time she smiles I will use the clich it brightens up my day.

As I die all I want to see is her face.

But wait what if doesnt work out and I meet someone else.

Will her smile compare will I be with because I love or will I be with her because shes

there?

I really love my girl but what will happen if we have had to split in this world.

I wonder if wed be friends or is will just be the end.

I feel she knows me like no other; I couldnt stand the sight of her with another.

So the friend things out the window.

What if we split by me making her a widow?

The pain to know her pain comes from the idea she will never she me again is too much

to bear; so rather than dive into that despair lets start to think clear.

I cant let her have that power over me, so I have to stay stronger than our love because I

need to feel the weakness of longing for my love.

What Black Power Has Done

I write this piece to remind me of what my people had to go through in this nation.

From the plantations to segregation to modern discrimination we have been persistent in

our liberation.

The road those before me paved is one of a legacy built on the correction of injustice.

We said we shall overcome and we did by giving the identity of human substance.

Those who came before me fought for the rights of every man, so that we may all live

free in what we taught was a free land.

Now I see the soul of the brother man that was hidden in every man.

As we have weaved ourselves in the fabric of America and the world at large.

Those who came before me made it clear you can never silence a voice such as ours.

So to my people when youre given that inch take yard.

Simply put, if were not human then our people have come from beyond the stars.

But lets tell the truth man genetic roots starts with ours.

I want to say black is beautiful although we got a long way to go we going.

Before I go I just want to tell my people to keep growing.


48/87

Broken

The laughters gone as we sit next to each other in silence

We used to long for each others touch but now we keep our distance because we came

inches to getting violent.

I look at and wonder whats running through her mind.

I know she knows its getting harder to fix us each time.

I told I never hurt her now Im thinking of ways to stop her tears.

I know this is a two-way street so my guilt doesnt run deep what hurts the most is the

one I love finds disgust in me.

Its hard for me to look into the eyes I once adored the pain in both our eyes show us

together we have nothing else to look for.

We tried to work it out but our union couldnt come to an agreement.

I minus well get prepared for the lock out because I know that Im leaving.


49/87

A Little Something on Love

The art of the heart gives us a beauty seen through young love, romance and heartache as

well.

We all know the loss of a union believed to be made in heaven can through us into a

personal hell.

The quest for true love is one of mans greatest journeys.

Because wed rather be soothed in pleasure than to live for its longing.

Love the art of the heart something so divine it cant be fully defined.

Its something thats truly illogical to the rational mind, yet it means more

After Defeat

I was lying under an overpass bleeding from my head.

I couldnt fiend off the evil men that beat me and left me for dead.

I lied there waiting to leave this life then I heard a voice say, Get up you must win this

fight.

I remained an unbeliever, as I believed I would not survive.

The voice then calls out again, rise! You have not been given this life to just lie there

waiting to die.

I stood up battered and bruised with nothing to lose except my last breath so I take my

first step.

I started thinking to myself I have so much to gain I can do so much with change.

Struggling to stay on my feet I use these thoughts to think beyond the pain.

I have no time to feel sorry for myself I must move on.

So with a beating heart Im go on

Life Begins When the Weak ends

As the weekends our time begins.

This is our chance to rekindle the happiness that we set aside.

Now is the time to bring our desires alive.

By the suns dusk we are in the shower cleaning off the souls dust.

We aside the problems for night & put the wings on the soul so we can feel fly.

We will be the stars caught up in the night sky we are the twinkle in everybodys eye.

We just living for the love of life we just want to be happy and free.

We may be here for the thrills but we still come in peace.

We just want to put some spice in our life with a good toast like cinnamon.

So as the weak ends we prepare for our time to begin.

We will rekindle the happiness we hold inside.

It is our time to let the desire come to life.

When the lights gone, we rejuvenate our souls.

Were going to free our minds and see how far we can go.

No longer will be star struck we reach for our own place to be in the sky stuck.

Were just living for the love of life we just want to be happy and be free.

We may be here for thrills but we come in peace.

Our taste has become elevated to live the life the celebrated.

The Murky Waters

Though I tread through these murky waters afraid I find comfort in the company.

Is this miserys company or am I trying to have a good time without misery hunting me?

I look at the people Im with and I wonder who are they inside they give me an illusion

because I have a mind and a pair of eyes?

I will not deny that that at times I had to put the disguise so that my sorrow hides.

Thats actually why I rounded up my friends and hit the town because inside Im reallyfeeling down.

So Ill party until I achieve the condition of, Im better now.

They say heavy is the head who wears the crown well if the kings head is heavier than

mine I offer him a shot of crown so that we may smile at the world.

As I stand here in these murky waters drinking until Im as empty as the bottle looking

for pleasure from hollow girls.

Here I lay face down in these murky waters no longer looking for comfort from company

because at this point why even bother.


54/87

No Sense in Judgment

Oh what thy eyes have seen, yet I cant help but realize they do not think.

In fact none of my sense has the capability to judge, they are as pure as the earths firstspring.

The only thing that corrupts the reality I see is a misunderstanding of thought.

This inadequate thinking makes me ignorant of my sensibilities I know see how the finerinformation becomes lost.

If I were to judge that which is opposite of me, they are purely objects in space all of

which had to arise from the same source.

And through this process of judging these objects my understanding become finer when

my relation to them is no longer coarse.

By the evaluation of my observation I may relate these objects through conceptualization.

Judgments are a process of cognition not a product of sense organ stimulation.


55/87

55

Between the Polarities

Nothing is black or white lifes a lot more complex than that. And to tell you the truth I

think its those grey areas that hold the greatest answers. Forin those grey areas our

understanding becomes more complete. If you try to understand the grey in your own andother experiences the polarity position would make more sense. It is in the grey areas that

we find the most magnificent bits of information.

Love As I Know It.

At our level of consciousness we have become a greater vessel of expression for the loveenergy.

As love flows through one being connecting it to another it unites pieces of the whole by

creating synergy.

Love is by its nature an interdependent energy that reinforces human actions so that wemay greater effects as a whole rather than one just acting alone.

It organizes parts into wholes as we become aware that it is together we belong.


58/87

58

Returning to Love

I see now that true test is not the acquirement of information but rather what I choose to

do with it.

I know many things about love but how often do I live through it.

Now Im saying my heart is black but sometimes I stray off the path and toss my moral

compass so that I may be lost on the map.

In those times I find myself alone staring into my own ignorance.

I run through my head as my thoughts race to find a better way trying to hear the calls forIm ready to listen.

So it is here I make this commitment to recollect, reassess, and reflect upon loves ways.

It is time to within myself and let the world fade.

My Learning Begins Again.


59/87

59

Another Self Examination

The great barrier blocking the freedom of my love is a simple perceptive fear that has

grown to complex.

The inferiority complex sometimes manifests itself in ways that I can barely detect.

Sometimes I lash out so that my ego may remain strong.

and then when I have time to assess I find I know of a better way making my actions

wrong.

I have moved into a superiority complex a state that if I perceive that Im being pusheddown I push back.

And its all because Im channeling my intentions through the wrong expression because

the good lacked.

The fear of feeling as something less has made me look up, but when I look down on

myself now I reflect it to looking down on others.

I do not desire to be the oppressor but the keeper of my brothers.

I have made great progress of simplifying my complex but I know my quest is not over,for my love cant open freely until my fears get closure.

Breaking Through and Opening

Staring into dark memories isnt the easiest thing Ive ever done.

But in order to be truly free letting them go must be done.

The shadow of the underdog has followed me my whole life.

The abuse, the poverty and lack of encouragement to take control of my life has always

kept looking down away from my true light.

I was that poor boy that stood tall but inside I felt small.

I always felt looked down upon as if there was nothing about that was great.

There has been many times where I looked into the mirror and questioned my greater

fate.

Through it all Im glad I kept faith.

For I remember nights I would pray for the strength to grow.

Gods love be praised because I can say today I see this light of mine as it glows.

I look back at where I came from, where Im at today, and where Im going and I can say

I have grown from those experiences holding the light of the creator.

I shall leave the past where it belong behind me for just as time changes so must I and

create a new way with some divine flavor.

So I say, The past of ones life is but a part. We may begin anew just as the day all wehave to do is commit to starting and looking forward on our way.


61/87

Sweet Beginning

Last night I laid it all on the table so as I awaken on this day I began walking a new way.I have my moral compass with me to guide me.

I look up at the sun and keep the thought in mind the light to be looked up to is who I will

be.

As I walk I cherish the information I receive on my path.

More specifically the simplest and clearest bit to move forward there is no need to hold

on to something that has passed.

From here on out I will create sweet beginnings.


62/87

62

Visions of Power

My ego has the urge to grow but I have to keep in mind the direction I choose go.

I must be honest to myself and the world of what Im living for.

I must grow into myself not the power trends of the world.

I seek mastery to teach not to control.

With my internal growth I can give the knowledge of the power I get so that others mayknow.

For I see knowledge is truly power it simply needs to be used for it to become active.

Ill be honest worldly things are attractive and at times I may slip but I must be aware not

to become its captive.

It is not by men with toys that I am impressed.

The impression of power in my mind is the power of character that I see in the people we

consider heroes for the lives they led.

What I find sad is the fact that most of those lives ended in bloodshed.

So Ill admit there is some fear to this approach.

But Id rather die as a man creating change than live as a man afraid of his hopes.


63/87

63

Love Maker

From my mind to the world is the way I create.

So to bring my way to the world it is love I must make.

I must let the love energy flow through my conscious awareness so that it may influence

my thoughts and possibilities.

So that I may choose the ways of love and give them liberty.

My words, actions, and aspirations must be centered on bringing my love energy into thismatrix.

I must develop the capacity to see the light of love clearly so those who wish to see I willbe able give them Lasik.

The self-actualization of a lover is developed by how I relate to others.

So I must have Divine affection towards all my sisters and brothers.

From my soul to life I must create the lovers way so that peace my come a little soonerthan a later.

From my being to my people I will be a love maker.


64/87

64

Let Go.

I was thinking and decided I should redefine the saying, If you love something let it go.

As well as eliminate the idea of falling in love, because I think this belief needs to go.

So Ill begin with the latter, when it comes to love the only thing that falls in the barrier

within that prevents us from opening up.

Once we open up we reflect the love energy from within digging deep to extend an

affectionate touch.

To further clear this up the individual must be open and confident to the possibilities of

love so that one may express the likeness of the energy.

Now if the object of your affection receives the intentions you channeled the other my

open up and let the love energy go creating synergy.

To be visually descriptive in words imagine two separate balls of energy that open up andextend a connection of their life energy; see the transcendent picture Im paintin

There is no falling required its a simple connection that takes attentive maintenance.

So now lets get to the former to redefine the saying, if you love something let it go.

When you have love feelings toward something let it go.

The more love one can let go from within the more love one can live in.

Let Your Love Go.


65/87

65

Some of Loves Power

I love noticing things about love.

Like for example our ability to be happy because a loved one is.

Happiness is so contagious that a smile can inspire a smile, humor as well laughter is

contagious.

Heres another one for example our desire to never see a loved one deprived.

How powerful is love that simple acts of charity can for the moment sustain the well-

being of another channeling the wish that they will rise and survive.

Another thing I love about the power of love is our ability to accept other for who theyare.

This is our claim to peace and to find harmony in diversity makes the problem of peace

not so hard.

Heres one I was thinking about the other day, our willingness to protect those we love.

To sacrifice ones well-being to protect a loved one has to sit in the ranks of humannature as above.

One of the most powerful that Ive seen as well as done myself is to be a part of damage

connection with the will to put the past behind them in order to repair the connection isamazing when you notice the persistence.

That is true forgiveness.

The ability to care for anothers life in respects to its natural value is Divine.

And that is why I love keeping love in mind.


66/87

66

Bringing Up Love

Just as a parent to a child we love those we bring up.

If we see the spirit behind that representation wed see the face behind the divine makeup.

For you see those we love we bring up their quality of life and to be able to bring upanother means you possess their light

.Our ability to care for the people is greater than our ability to obtain power over the

people.

If we see each other as God does, we are all related and united by a greater love.

I Love the way we can make feel people higher and it brings us closer.

To me the question of do we belong together above has its closure.

Think freely on that for a while.


67/87

67

Maturing In Love

I must being to look at things as less physical and more spiritual.

My eyes must pierce through others and recognize their value inside.

I must use my highest understanding to understand all things.

I must cherish to the greatness of the whole so that I may appreciate the smaller things.

I must focus on using my words wisely so that I may speak love from a greaterawareness.

I must pattern intentions and actions with care so that I dont become careless.

I must learn to love without fear so that I may open up and further expand the love circle.

I must understand the role of love model with an awareness of the influence in my circle.

I must be confident to show the world that I am as my creator a creator so it is thehighest love I wish to share.

I know the challenge that faces me but I will face it with my head in the air.

For peace on earth is big dream, and it is what lies beyond is what fuels this hope.

Thats why what lies beyond myself is in my inner scope.

And I shall continue to move beyond myself, maturing in love through inner growth.


68/87

68

The Love of God

Sometimes I like to imagine I see all things as the creator does, as the supreme source oflove that is what truly moves me.

To love all of my creations period, because they are a part of me.

As a poet that consciousness to me means more than the scattered divisions of the world.

Regardless of gender, race, nationality, social status, beliefs or whatever they may be,from the creatures, to the ecosystem it can all beloved as a part of me.

To have the ability to see the beauty in every part is the reason I desire to share Godsheart.

Within my soul I seek to sore on the hopes of creating a new world.

As I find the beauty of myself and imagine how beautiful the world could be.

I reach out for it and try to manifest a better world through the life I lead.

My possibilities for creating a better world started on a small scale.

Now I have aspirations to see how much of my potential I can fulfill.

As I look at a universe full of human greatness compacted onto a planet with hopes of

reaching the stars.

That gave me the insight that our hearts reach up because of who we are.

So as I sore on hopes wings I will work to manifest the world my inner world brings.


72/87

72

The Sparks

The progress of the people requires that we shine nobly and endure with a

courageous light.

It began with the deeds of a few who have become stars in our history, they

where our guiding lights.

And those stars sparked others charging the inherent spark within those

people.

They gave their all to inspire others to live for their cause continuing the

saviors sequels.

They rose up in opposition of unrighteous power and to defy their vainglory.

Opening the eyes of the people once again to the same old story.

They raised the spirits of the people so that they may unite as a greater force.

They did it by touching the lives of others so that each one of them may

carrier the fire to light anothers torch.

Using our spark to ignite and enlighten others to make them active

participants in uplifting humanity is the light that will see us through

calamity.

From the past until now the few have empowered many and its now timefor the many to remove the lamp from under the basket and place it on a

stand, so its light can be seen by all.

Or to put it in modern terms we must contribute to the process of self-sustaining system by creating a series of reactions that benefit all.

Ascension Day

I like to imagine the day of ascension but not in the same way as the Christians.

I see not the resurrection of Christ but rather the resurrection of our light.

When I imagine this day I see the most beautiful things.

I like to envision each creature emitting a powerful light from their being.

Then the light energy destroys the bodies and every creature becomes light beings that

began to ascend without wings.

I envision us ascending toward a massive light energy that is moving toward us at the

same time.

This massive light is disintegrating all matter as it comes closer, soon everything

becomes one I can only imagine a destruction this divine.

Then I imagine everything beginning to vibrate and soon were all in a massive

classroom as kids and the uniting light takes the form of a teacher.

The teacher then proceeds to talk to us saying, dont worry about the physical featureslook upon me and see that Im spirit, not creature.

Look around the room and use the same eyes I asked you to use to look at me and see allas spirit.

Now I want you to lookdeep inside yourself to see you have the creators spirit morespecifically may spirit.

I am apart of you because youre a part of me.

My children it is time to rise up to claim the truth of who you are so rise up out of your

seat, stand on your feet and repeat after me, 'I create matter, matter does not create me.

I control thoughts they do not control me.

Iam beyond it all expressing through my creations.

Now ascend my children this is like your conscious graduation.

So congratulations I love and celebrate you.

Then I picture the light energy explode and the classroom setting disappears.


74/87

74

I look up and see a new earth, so I ascend to reach it with no reason to fear.

For it was paradise on earth and the first sister I met pointed to her head and said you

have everything you need right here.

She then extends her hand and says, come brother lets create a new world.

So I grab her hand and we start running toward the edge of a mountain then she says,

Fear no more

Then we took flight, I look around and see others flying upward then my sister says to

me, itsascension day time to reach for your highest height.

The multitude of spirits ascended above the planet connected by life strings.

And then in harmony we all began to sing.

All of us resonating together as we emit life energy from our being.

I then imagine that the blanket of unified energy makes us one.

And then each soul shoots down toward the planet and once we all touch down the lightbecomes our sun.

Then my sister says to me, Remember all you need to do is look up at our great light and

see it as your highest height.

I smiled at her and then extended the smiled to our new light if the world for with it a

new day has begun.

Thats how I like to imagine the day of Ascension, just something I thought Id mention.

Aspects of Beauty

One of the most beautiful things I love about humanity is our desire to create peace andjustice. A righteous kingdom on earth has to come for the hope is growing stronger. More

and more people are realizing that their self-responsibility is to create a better world. At

this level of creator consciousness we need not live for what is in nature but ascended it

to become aware of even greater beauty. We are an aspect in natures desire to knowwhat beauty can be created.

Sleeping Beauty and Me

I was watching her while she was asleep and began to wonder what is about her that

stimulates my eyes?

Is it her curves the way they accentuate her shape especially between her hip and thighs?

Is it the symmetry of her face is it the complexion of her skin?

Is it the fact I seek the love below because I am a man?

What is it about her that stimulates my eyes and mind with desire?

She keeps me yearning for her with a feeling inside thats similar to a burning fire.

Its funny because there were many that were against us.

But were holding on strong to one another with a love that we will not give up.

Ill admit I had my doubts before I seen what the girl of my dreams is supposed to be.

I find nothing that comes close to you because the way youre close to me.

The quality that catches my attention lies simply in the fact that she makes me happy.

I need no other women and I can say that gladly.

Within her form lies her heart of which she is willing to give me a part.

There is something to beloved within her personality.

I love the way she makes me happy, and that is the reality.

Bay you probably cant hear this because you asleep but thank you for making me feel

complete.

Hope you liked the short now I can show you

79

The Beauty I Have Found

I want to drill this every eardrum so that it becomes trapped in the cranium and tickles the

brain.

I want everyone to understand what I am saying; so that no misconceptions remain.

My life line to unity lies with beauty as I find my place within the love of a lover.

I must be a lover for Im beloved and look to the world deciding what shall be loved.

I am free to love but the things I refuse to see the beauty in would solidify my suffering.

All because I failed to see the whole through its unlabeled parts similar to the problem of

clustering.

Seeing the beauty in things restores the harmony of conflicting aspects.

To be aware of those moments of perfection gives harmony a lasting effect.

The multitude of forms in the universe are but reflections of the infinite so all things can

be loved for they possess beauty within.

Or rather to be correct the idea of divine beauty that lies within all reasoning minds

expresses this idea to the natural world I live in.

I do not find beauty in the form but rather in the idea that this unity makes me complete I

only express it to the reflection.

Through my mind I can find the divine beauty that lies within the design to see that

unspoken state of perfection.

For I see that all phenomena is pure outside the reasoning mind, yet the reasoning mind

makes me aware of nature and I.

So if Im apart of infinite and my unity with it makes me complete it is only right to seethis pureness with beauty in my eyes.

I find that if keep in mind the thought that all are pieces of the divine love and happinessare close behind.

The deeper I look I see how beauty is my desire for the better, a better me and a better

world.

It is at this point I see the divine nature of humankind as our morality and creativity shape

the ideal world.

Together We Rise

The Spirit seeks to reach the higher.

So the fear, ignorance, and negativity we shall burn in the fire.

We will grow from the waters of inner strengths, wisdom and goodness.

As a flower we will cultivate ourselves and others to bloom in our beauty for we are

rooted in oneness.

We shall rise together in our pursuit in our pursuit of the light.

We the people live not to be afraid of death but rather to create something in this life.

We the people are here together to create greater beauty on earth this is what I believe to

be right.

IT TAKES ALL OF US TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THE WORLD GREATER

4WE ARE THE CREATORS!

I Lived His Dream

I want take this moment to speak of Dr. Kings speech, because as a black male have Iliterally lived his dream. I sat upon the mountain top holding hands with people of all

backgrounds and we did so in peace and harmony. Those moments connected me to

something bigger than myself it connected me to the world around me. It also showed thepower of dreams. I am amazed how one man envisioned the most life altering events of

my existence. I stand here today and can say with honesty I am apart of Dr. Kings

dream. I lived the manifested reality and for that Im eternally and internally grateful.

Thank you Brother Martin.

Yosemite National Park is a forest of enchantment. A pure visual delight it is a

beautifully designed landscape flowing with powerful rivers and waterfalls huge trees

that seem like ants to mountains. The night sky greets this forest to display the beauty ofthe universe and on a summer night when these two magnificent beauties clearly meet the

very sight can make any individual feel both small and important in this world. Though

many may be aware of the natural wild life little light is shed on the people who live andwork there. As diverse as the wildlife around them and just as welcoming as the

atmosphere of the forest they are just as much a part of the beauty of Yosemite as any

other feature of its landscape. To have the opportunity to experience Yosemite in its

completeness is enlightening. Little does anyone know that this place among these people

is a spirits dream to be a part of world where to show how much we enjoyed one anotherwas a daily goal.

In the summer of 2008 I found myself within this land that not only changed the way I

view others and the world around me but also myself. What brought me to Yosemite was

a job. I never thought for a second that this would be the place my heart called home. Ill

admit when I first arrived I was a little scared not knowing what to expect from peopleliving and working in the mountains. I mean to be honest the whole white people arent

to trusted thing was stuck in my head and the fact that they lived in mountains and I

didnt know anyone drew some paranoia flags in my head. But that quickly changed

when I arrived in the cooks wobs.

When I got there I checked in with human resources and then was assigned to the cooks

wob housing unit. As I was settling in I began having thoughts of uncertainty notknowing how the people would react to me I begin getting kind of nervous. I was able to

quickly gain my composure as a thought came to me with strength as I became aware that

I was allowing fear to control my decision. So I decided not to go with the, Ill just stickto myself routine I decided to get to know the neighbors.

I walked through the housing area until I arrived at a table full of people. The first personI noticed was a large black man I had no idea what to think I more than intimidate to

approach this man and then I hear a whats up man I look to my left and see shaggy red

head white man looking up at me and smiling with a look jollier then Santas. Then the

large black man speaks to me, hey man Im Danny but everybody calls me bear. Heextended his hand to me and I extended my hand to him and introduced myself, whats

up my name is Reggie then the Irish Santa looking guy extended his hand to me and said

my names Cobble. I shakes his hand then a long haired tall white man who had what Isoon discovered was a permanent laugh introduced himself as Matt, Matt Arnold. Then I

met an individual who forever changed my perception of all people in general John

Grimes.

As I was getting to know everybody I met, I looked up as I heard a door open and out

came John. I gave him the whats up head nod to him and walks over to me rather the

returning the distant nod. He walks up to me and extends his hand to me and said to me,

whats up Im John. I extended my hand and replied, Reggie. He then engaged me inconversation; I was impressed by the way he found ways to relate to me without ever

bringing race into the conversation. He spoke to me as if we had been friends for years hegave me advice about the community and work. We spoke about the activities around the

park and I remember saying I wasnt sure about going long distance hiking and taking

adventurous risk just for the experience. He then began to encourage me to push mylimits I soon became aware of what it meant to live the life in front of me. I realized

potential required me to take risk how else would I know what all Im made of. Now he

didnt tell me in those precise words but it was what In the context of the conversation Id

say I wasnt sure he told I could if I tried and he was willing to help if I needed it. John

obviously wasnt the first one to tell me this but he did so without having an obligation as

a paid teacher or a parent or a preacher doing so in the name of God. He did simply as a

man. It was then that I began to understand what it means to be a good man. Regardless

of who I could have been he approached me as a friend, thats when I realized its who hewas inside that made like that, the good man inside of me was awakened in full force as i

the bridge to come as I am was built.

From my experience with John I learned how to build bridges to people and encourage

them to come as they are because I come as I am. This showed me there is no difference

between any individual we build the walls and we burn the bridges due to our ignoranceand fear.

The ability to stand on common ground allowed me to reach and relate to people in a way

I have before. Everyone I met became a friend I was able to see people in way I neverhave before. And what saw was beautiful people of backgrounds from all around the

world and almost all walks of life, they all showed me love and I did the same for them.

This had awakened me to the possibility of peace being truly possible.

As I sit atop this mountain at the Megatron 2010, the party of the year I look at all my

peers and cant believe where here. As I watch the sunrise in the midst of diverse group

of humans in nature, who came together for no other reason but friendship and the love

life I become struck by a revelation. This is his dream this was the vision of Dr. King. Aswe sat there under the rising sun in the presence of Mother Nature as a diverse group of

individuals known as the human race and we know we are family.

Open Ending

As I breathe in life I see things right.

Running out the door toward the morning light.

The smile on my face is a physical representation of the high spirit within.

Staring through the face amused by current state of man.

People hustling and bustling to satisfy their needs.

Those kids over there playing in the foliage pile got it have fun with it were all going tofall and leave.

I walk into an abandon building and Im able to see because the sun is piercing throughthe open parts giving light to the dark.

Then I realized no matter how empty something is as long as theres opening the lightwill fill it.

I look out the window and see a lady hit a dog with a skillet.

I screamed at the lady, QUIT IT!

She looked up at me with a doggish mug and all I could say to her was, LEARN TOLOVE.

She then proceeds to flip me off so I slowly back out the window laughing to myself as I

exit the place.

I walk out to the street and see a multitude of possibilities at play.

So I stare off into space and to myself I say, Where do I go from here?

Well thats it for now but Ill have more next time you come around.

I hope you enjoyed the words I have given you.

Thank you

Goodbye.
