Visible Minority

So I changed the name of my blog ! I like this one much better. I decided to write a new "about me" section and it turned into a short poem lol. So here it is! (not that you couldn't have read it at the side)

It's cause I''m Black.
I wear a hood, that means shoot me.
Years ago whistling at the wrong person would've gotten me lynched
In university but I'm just an exception. 
No matter how smart I can be men still call me their bitch. 
No rope around my neck, but the bruises from my ancestry are still there
And the tree growing in my garden? It was watered by their tears
Limp and lifeless bodies hanging from that same tree
They were the strange hanging fruit that years later fed me.
Their blood watered the soil, confirmed the turmoil
Fast forward and our blood still does the same
As boys pack gats, and pull triggers, hold dead bodies till they stiffen from rigour.
Falling victim to the system, continuing to be society's nigger.
Who would have figured, we'd turn around and enslave ourselves?
So like Trayvon Martin I scream for help.
Like Troy Davis I fall victim to the judicial system
Dreams getting shot down with him, Thank you Mr. King for living
Thank you Mr. X for not holding back a breath, now I move mountains, Thank you Malcolm
Thank you Jesus, with faith like a mustard seed, I lead.
The Visible Minority Speaks.

TRAYVON MARTIN

Months ago it was Troy Davis.
Now it's Trayvon Martin.

My heart hurts. My mind is racing with thoughts. And none of them are good.
I've been following this story from the beginning and I've become less hopeful in the justice system, it police, in authority figures and just people in general.

If you haven't yet, please sign the petition at change.org for the arrest or Trayvon's murderer.

A poem might come from this. I can feel it.
School is crazy busy as it is approaching the end of the semester but I promise you all, I will have something to say.

Peace and Blessings !

Well, not NEW but I'm definitely writing my thoughts and feelings more often on this thing. It's an easier way to follow me I guess. Check it out, follow if you like and hit me up for a follow back :)

I am TIRED of arguing with negative people.

When good things happen, I hate when people become so skeptical and pessimistic. Do you seriously have that little faith in people? Are you willing to accept that behind every action of kindness there has to be some type of negative motivation? Yes, it is unusual that there is a sky rocket of aid, and willingness, and support in this Kony 2012 initiative. But maybe that's cause there are more people like ME who have had enough. Who are willing to give. Who won't let people die. And believe me, I have no other motivation other than my respect for humanity and my hatred for evil. There are still good people in the world. Out of 7 billion folk on the planet, a couple hundred thousand still want to be revolutionaries.
