We turn to hope, no matter what comes our way.
We see the light coming out of the darkness
To guide our path regardless of the madness.
We turn to God for some real relief
Have Faith, have courage
If you only believe.

Tears in Uncertain Times
Filled with fear and confusion
Consumed by my thoughts of uncertain times
Searching for answers that would lead
To an awakening of truth
An outlet, an escape from the fear which grips my soul
When I remember the world that will be no more
Darkened into submission
Never the same as we move toward a reset
We are paralyzed by change
Having no idea what’s coming next
I cry silently in the darkness for lost memories
Of what was and what will never be again
As we crash into a different world
Awakening to new technologies
Extremely concerned with the storms of tomorrow.

I Am Black
Everyday, I look at a mirror, my reflection reminds me
I am Black
Everyday, I exist in a world filled with racism and discrimination
I am reminded, I am Black
You know what…in spite of all the horrendous trials and tribulations
Our Ancestors endured, suffering through slavery
Broken, tortured, raped, and oppressed
I come from a strong lineage of people who are strong, determined
Never willing to give up
To fight for change, equality, and denounce racism
I am proud to be Black
Black lives do matter as they are brutalized by the police
Communities impacted by systemic racism
Kept down from moving ahead
Believing and hoping for a better future
In which all lives matter
A world that doesn’t discriminate based on color
Yes, I believe in a world that is fair for us all
Racist attitudes seek to divide
Rather than love which intends to unite us
I can’t breathe.

Dear Lord
Every time I think you’re missing in action, you show me you’re always near.
You’ve been there through every laughter
You’ve been there through every tear
You’ve been there through my pain in the darkness
You’ve been there even when it rains
You’ve been there when my world was crumbling
You’ve been there through my saddest moments
You’ve been there through my mistakes and failures
You’ve been there when I felt so alone
You’ve been there when I suffered loss
You’ve been there when I searched for life’s meaning
You’ve been there when I was looking for love
You’ve also been there in my happiest moments
And you will still be there even after I’m gone
You turn my darkness into daylight and I can see more clearly your hands is in everything. Your love is eternal…..
THANK YOU LORD…

Unwanted Attention
I saw you looking at me from a distance
Checking me out like a piece of meat on a
Platter you want for dinner.
Oh no….
Shying away deliberately I smiled.
Hoping to avoid your gaze, I called to my
Friend who had just entered the room.
Hoping to engage her in a conversation,
I tried desperately to ignore your attention
Which made me feel so uncomfortable.
My friend and I started talking about
Something…..
Anything to shake off that unpleasant feeling.
To distract the thought of your
Overwhelming gaze
Which made me feel uneasy.
But I felt your presence haunting me.
That unwanted attention…
I was definitely not attracted to
Your gaping by the way which
Proved to be very annoying.
