Legends of Africa

One thing I've noticed during my years attending predominately white schools and having circles of friends that are more diverse, is that the major factor in racism and prejudice is ignorance. There is a lot about black culture that many non-blacks just don't know. Often this lack of awareness rears its head in the form of ignorant assumptions and awkward questions. The Legends of Africa series touches on topics that may be extremely familiar to blacks, but may not be familiar to non-blacks.

Religion & Theology

I've always been interested in Religion & Theology. As I child, I questioned everything. I wanted to know why this denomination was different from that denomination. I wanted to know how Christianity differed from Islam, and how they differed from Buddhism, etc. I found that as I studied with the faith of a believer and the open mind of scientist, the world of religion started to make more sense and I was able to form beliefs that I don't question. April 2015 is dedicated to my journey to those beliefs.

I'm Wondering...

I'm Wondering...

The world is full of people

Who make logical sense

Of illogical thoughts and events

And I watch them in confusion.

I'm wondering...

About these contradictions I see

Crowds of people, like sheep herds

Unable to see the insanity of pretty words

Painted pictures and untold lies...

I'm wondering...

Are they actually blind

Dubious to there course of aim

Or merely playing some complex game--

Following some illogical rules

I was not privy to view?

I'm wondering...

If it's really that simple,

If they're really that dense

Or is it me that doesn't make sense,

Is it me who's not thinking straight

I love to write. Sometimes its graceful and classic--like a trapeze act--or bold and brave--like a lion tamer--perhaps a little humorous--like a clown. This is my circus of words.

Right now, my blog is mostly poetry (which naturally covers a wide range of topics). Everyone says great blogs have a niche, a specific topic they hone in to write about. I'm still working that out, I guess. In the mean time, you can use the menu in archive page to narrow down the topics you wish to see.

Welcome to the site. Feel free to comment and I hope you enjoy.
