#WriteFree365 – Day 2 Frustration

I looked out the window today and wasn't surprised by what greeted me
A view of destruction covered by a dusting of hope like Febreze over a well used gym
Here we see the constant battle between being right and doing right
Those with power choosing carefully which way the pendulum swings
Some are wooed by the promise of a better tomorrow
Some cling to delusions of the past
Some stand firm on "the tradition"
The rest of us know the truth

The constant nagging of the voice of reason
Sucking you in and spitting you out
That voice in your head will never stop telling you what right
Your choice if you chose to believe it
Take off the glasses and see whats out the window
Open you mind and truly understand whats going on
See them wag the dog
See them misdirect
See them shame you into forgetting your grievance

And fight back...

Unless you been saving up for the Super Bowl have free passes or are extremely wealthy would you be able to attend this event. 2. Seahawks fans are very annoying. While I'm excited that they made it to the Superbowl and I kind of want them to win its hard for me to root for them because they are extremely annoying.

Some of the media folks are really elitist. I'm happy that you got your media pass I'm excited that you get to cover some of the game from different aspects that doesn't make you better than me. I'm staying at the same hotel you are and I would lik...

Black History Month

Image
Today, February 1, marks the start of Black History Month we can use this as an opportunity to recognize, highlight and celebrate African/African American achievements and contributions to society In 1926, historian Carter G. Woodson developed an annual week-long celebration in February as a way to commemorate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and Frederick Douglass’ birthday. Fifty years later, as part of the United States’ bicentennial celebration, the United States government recognized that the week-long celebration had transitioned into "Black History Month.” #BHM2014       #BlackHistoryMonth       #EveryonesHistory   What are your thoughts on today's google doodle? Slavery is a part of American history . It is a part of black history. There are those who do not want to acknowledge slavery, who see it looking back on the past in a negative light. We cannot pretend it did not happen we cannot pretend that it's not part of what makes us th...
