Everyday I wake up less aware of the struggles that dominated my life weeks ago. I was build to achieve. Today, I face my new challenges with fear, self-doubt, and uncertainty. However I am always determined to overcome the obstacles and they will be forgotten just like all the rest.

The news-reporter said make sure you have flashlights, candles,extra batteries and canfood. What in the hell are we about to do, go camping! Shoot. They should have told us to grab goggles and a raft! Remember Katrina!

Do you think Martin Luther King, Jr. was right to fight for integration? How many friends of another race do you or your children have? Does your community or school practice to segregation? Why?

My fame is not to blame
But it heightens my family?s? shame
Simon said I couldn't but now the world screams my name
But it couldn?t help my nephew
Nor my mother too
And my brother God help his soul
But momma didn't want to leave the ghetto
Like my success was still a dream
Momma not wanting to give up everything
So she blames it on memories
Like we been holding ourselves back for centuries
But Chicago was safe
Despite the rising murder rate
But gun shots we all know to well
Hollywood is a harder sell
These are my roots
Boyfriends having a passed that loves to shoot
So I ran
I sang
I acted
Like my momma was alright where she was at
But she won't change
So I figured I?ll buy the family nice things
But that hurts
I have accomplished so much but it doesn't work
We can leave now
We can leave now
But here ears remained closed
Still blocking out the sounds of the ghetto
We don?t hear nothing
We don't say nothing
We don?t see nothing
We don?t become nothing
Victims
For not wanting to escape

He searches the world for her eyes
At times he likes mine
But just not the same
He turned her name into my name
and i would be a lie if i said it doesn't cause pain
Like i wasn't accepted
knowing with my ears that i am not being rejected
but it still hurts
under my breath i still curse
not at him
never at them
but sometimes at her
sometimes at her
then myself
looking outwards to blame someone else
like he's weighing our love
and finds me to be more of a dud
so i bleed
everytime my son calls me Mommy
"Reach Into My Darkness" this new book by Lamont Carey is coming

I make love to hope
Hoping that when a kid runs in this school to make gun smoke
That the trigger says no
That the dope dealer says no
That the misled little girl says no
That color lines become so blind
it erases bad times
I make love to hope
That suicide bombers say no
That dictators say no
That super powers say no
That we understand that we can?t use God?s words to change folks
Regardless of the way you spell it God says no
Jesus says no
Allah says no
Budda says no
Tired people say no
I make love to hope
That you don?t have to stab folks in the back to cope
That anything is possible
If you believe it to be so
That good men live
That honest women live
That we both can raise our kids
Without separate homes
I make love to hope
I just wonder why you don?t

I look in the eyes of my frail grandmother
I wouldn't trade her for no other
she whispers they're going to kill him
because white people believe in him
Just like they did king
Made every black person fear his dream
Just like they did Malcolm X
Now this blackman will be next
Baby, don't vote for him
you will be condemning him
To die
Tears filled both of our eyes
for different reasons
For what we both believed in
I never knew she had this fear
sounded like she was saying?don't talk to loud for masta may hear
But i was so enraged
She was one of the people that encouraged me to be anything
She taught me about the civil rights
the water fights
blacks losing their life
for what they believed were their rights
but in 2008
she wants to take that away
From me
For a country that wants change
for a black man that wants to prove we were kings
she wants to silence everyone
Seeing the flash back in her eyes when a blackman was hung
She wanted to run
But her eyes wouldn't close
so she let hope go
then in the sixties she got it back
felt good to be black
until martin was shot
again she fought her tears back
but got comfortable with sharing the same space
despite the fact she was reminded of her race
Now this blackman has taken a stand
And he wants to be the man
and all she can see is a blackman being hanged again

The feel of your tongue being scaled by mine
Helps me to unwhined and rise at the same time
The heat from your cheek
Makes me desire to continue to eat your speech
But instead your neck i seek
Sucking you as if u were breathing life into me
And your left nipple
Makes my fingers grip your bottom as if I was becoming cripple
But I pull you into me
Hearing your moans of pleasure sing to me
Makes the journey to your naval a must
Losing myself inside there and firmly grabbing your tush
This is how souls suppose to be
escaping
To watch us
Unaware of anything else because of our trust
I move and drink you as if from a cup
And you were over flowing before I arrived\
I just tilted u to be sure I get all of what's inside
Never would I hurt u
I just want to love u in circles

I wanted to be the reason she felt life was perfect
So I showed how my love is more than worth it
She needs a man that keeps storms away and love alive
The world will know her happiness because it will reflect in her eyes
Right where I reside
With me she will never be alone
I promise that I will never be gone
Her strong arms to hold her steady
Never forcing anything on her just helping when she is ready
Loving her doesn?t describe how I feel
Jumping through clouds chasing sunlight would describe my thrill
She is everything I adore
Building a life with her who could pray for more
She sets new standards of being human
Being a woman
And I declare I will worship her at her throne
Servant, lover, friend, soul mate
I will be the overseer of her fate
Protect her soft skin
With all that I am
Refusing to allow her to experience a chill
She looked over at me and said,
You are trying to control how I live
