I am.....

I am.....

Charged with providing love to
the disenfranchised
hugs to the lonely
Walking through the doors of
the crack house to help
a mother change her life

I am evil


Kisses to the person
living with HIV who has forgotten
the touch of another
Let me sit with you
so your pimp doesn't
beat you again
again
again

I am offensive


Let me lose mother, job, home
car, phone, and family
and still praise the Most High
for loving me
Let family turn away
and brother
abuse is sister


I am faithless


My little sisters, black, white
and Asian
Come under my wings as I teach you my
wisdom, my love for God's people.
Sit with me daily and I will share
and love you as I do my own
I embrace all who you will become



I am racist

My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

Aquarius Rising - Authentically Me

Aquarius Rising - Sy Smith I'm not one to really get into Zodiac signs and yet I'm fascinated the astrological relationship to our spirits. I know we all still blame the moon for man's "lunacy". When I read about the sign of Aquarius, I'm taken by how much it does describe me. I'm not guided by astrology but I do recognize its connection to the Universe. Some don't realize how man used astrology throughout the bible as a guide for God's people. But this isn't about astrology and the Christian faith but me being the fabulous Aquarius female that I am. This is me, basically...READ ON Aquarius (The Sun is in Aquarius from approximately January 20 to February 18, depending on the year). One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With ...
