Children are the Future
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.

Beyond The Trees
Beyond those trees
Lies a body of water
Deep and still.
Beyond those trees
Boats carry people
To and fro.
Beyond those trees
Beauty is preserved
Natural and free.
Beyond those trees
So close yet so far
Calm and quiet...
Beyond those trees
Simple elegance captures
Dreams and me.

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.
