The strongest thud pulsating against my temple sent a pang from my head through my body and that pain took up residence in my heart, piercing my already tattered soul. My mind raced pondering a million and two questions. I couldn't pin down the moment in time that the insatiable joy left our relationship, but that joy had slipped away from our beautiful home into a faint trace of existence. |
BE the Movement
Movement without purpose is just movement
Through the atmosphere it glides
With no stride or direction
Destined for contraception
Movement with purpose stands strong and tall
Movement with purpose effects change for all
Movement with purpose is the reason why we’re free
Movement with purpose fulfills destiny
Walking in destiny we are free
To proclaim our Black U-N-I-T-Y
Love
Peace
And write our own future.
A wise man once said,
“If you don't know your history you are doomed to repeat it."
As we celebrate Black History Month
Remember that wise man’s words today
And join me in cherishing those who gave the ultimate sacrifice
So that you and I may be free to not only
Know and Embrace
The movement, but to BE the movement
