Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Child abuse: 5 of 198

I've Been! I've been abused, misused, chewed, and spewed! Yet I refuse to lose, give up, give in, lie down, quit, stop, and be still. I've been up and down, in and out, hungry and full, cold and hot, tried and full of energy. I've been knocked down, knocked out, ran down, run over, run down, defeated, punched, robbed, and st...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Coping with life's problems: 1 of 23

Before! Before I was born, before I was formed in my mother's belly; GOD knew me and already had an appointed time, purpose, and place for me. Before sin there was grace, love, and mercy. Before Adam sinned, GOD already had a plan for man's redemption! Before we have problems, GOD already got answers and a way out so we can ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Found myself: 5 of 26

I'm the One! I'm the one who made the mistake of committing a crime; And I'm the one sitting in prison serving this time. I'm the one who chose to go the way I did; I'm the one asking GOD to please forgive. I'm the one who has to struggle and suffer; I'm the one who didn't listen to my father or my mother. I'm the one who sh...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Once saved, always saved?: 8 of 21

The love of God! “But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:30, 31) He tha...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Racism: 24 of 57

I'm a Racist! I'm a racist! When I look at people I automatically see color or either the lack of it. I'm a racist and the sad part is this, so are you! We all are racist that is if you are an American. It comes along with the territory. Just like me you cannot help it. I honestly believe that any American whatever color the...
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Is God responsible for the good and the bad?: 17 of 40

Not My Jesus! I recently spoke at a school to a class of emotionally disturbed students. When the teacher said E.D. the students were very hurt and went off. They were cussing and being completely unruly. I understand exactly where they are coming from and the students them selves said I looked like I was off the block, whic...
Arts & Humanities > Political Philosophy The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: Is it time for a name change?: 6 of 14

Yes it should. I thought this years ago. Is the name more important than the concept? See it's the mentality thats being challenged here not the name. When I think of NAACP the first thing that comes to mind is old people who are out of touch with reality and don't know what we are struggling against today and what the strug...
Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Insights Your perception is your reality: 21 of 48

Self Perception! Take a moment to describe yourself. Now where did that description of yourself come from? If you didn't know it our belief system comes from others. The powerful part of understanding this revelation is the fact that whatever belief system we have developed for ourselves didn't have to be true or false. In o...
Politics, News & Issues > War & Terrorism Recognizing a terrorist: 12 of 27

Are you serious? Recognizing a terrorist! How is this possible if you are a white American? It's like a serious oxymoron, or the one when someone says, 'hey you dropped something'. You turn around and look and realize that you have just fallen for one of the lamest and elementary trick in the book. Even though we know these ...
Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues Advertising and alcoholism in African American communities: 1 of 1

Dr. Mike Murdock said 'we can't complain about what we permit'. Therefore it behooves us as African Americans to stop permitting certain things in our life, home, and community. However, we have heard things like this a million times and almost everyone we know has several great and wonderful things that will impro...
