Peaceful Calming















His love flows into my valley
his voice calms the storm
he comforts me with his mind
and embraces me with his soul

I often think of him
like dew falling upon the grass
my heart remembers his melodies
as the birds sing a verse to our song

Though I cry out for him
he does not hear me
from deep in the forest
he is hidden from me

I seek to find him
I yearn to feel his touch
his strength can move a mountain
with patience in one breath

I look up to the sky
and imagine a place unknown
to only he and I
surely his pace will guide me

As we embark this journey
the destination unbeknown st
within the peace of the day
until the still of the night

Unity

Recently I made the statement “black people are the only race that doesn’t unite.” I know a few people disagreed with me. For the ones who disagree, let me elaborate. I still stand by what I said. However, when I made that statement, what I was referring to was when things are NEGATIVE or BAD. The only time we are known to unite is when we feel we’ve been wronged or some sort of injustice has been imposed. Just as so many of us only pray to God when things are bad and forget about Him when things are good. For example, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, we protested together (but also tore up our own communities). Why does something horrific have to happen for us to unite? How come we don’t unite when things are going well? You may say we do. But, how often? Do we publicize it? Do we talk about it? Do we share it? I reflected on some of the other cultures, such as Caucasians, Asians and Hispanics. Can we, as black people, honestly say we are as united as some of the other cultures and/o...

What Do You Believe?

In 2019, I took a psychology class. It was a very interesting and complex subject. However, as the class went along, I began to grasp certain things about human life, thoughts and reality. One of the assignments was to select a topic to develop an argument. I wrote an essay regarding Rene Descartes' philosophical views about innate ideas and the knowledge through God. I received an "A" on the essay below: For this assignment, I will discuss my belief that Descartes’ Cogito arguments concerning God, human existence and knowledge itself is somewhat of a successful argument. I will begin by constructing the argument, followed by discussion of its significance. Next, I will discuss reasons the argument is successful. I will then consider possible objections to my beliefs and how I would respond to them. Lastly, I will summarize the contents of this paper, showing what has been accomplished by my analysis. Descartes wanted to find a philosophical determination for the evid...

Not Good Enough

What do you do, when you're not good enough, Your patience goes unnoticed, you're not appreciated and taken for granted? You are never forgiven, respected or appeased. You are merely the object of negative attention, put downs, reminded of your failures and shortcomings. Never to be desired, pleasing, protected or loved. Where do you go, when the gravel beneath your feet begins to slip and the pathway become cloudy, foggy and gray. What words can be said? What actions can you take? What sacrifice can you make? When you're not good enough, you always fall short and it seems you'll never meet the expectations.
