Unrevised and Uncensored...Comment or Not...But hear my roar!

Lauryn Hill speaks the truth. She doesnt try to sugar coat reality she just tells things the way they are. She truely inspire me as a woman first and formost but more importantly as a black woman. Its through her music, movies, writings, and poems that she delivers her teachings. One song on her album from MTV UNPLUGGED is the song "I Get Out". In this song she discusses how people are caught up in the ideal way of living that they dont get to really live. She gets this message out especially in her chorus "I get out, Oh I get out of all your boxes, I get out, Oh, you can't hold me in these chains, I'll get out, Oh I want out of social bondage, Knowin' my condition , Oh, is the reason I must change". Society keeps us as people in this bondage were we have to be a certain way think a certain way and dress a particular way to be accepted. Not only do they make us act a particular way but they condition our minds in a way that keeps certain groups of people down and raise other groups of people up. Just to think about the injustice in society really sickens me. It so sad that it takes thousands and thousands of movements just to change a single thing that all the time seems to just get corrupted again by the evils of "America" society. I am so fucking tired of being called a Damn "African American". Africans were brought to America as slaves . Okay, we gain freedom which was a tragic struggle to overcome segregation to be put back into segregation seperating us from the "Regular American" class to "African American". I believe that "African American" is just another name for the "N' word. I will keep on seeking freedom through my own studies and not solely on "American" educational studies. America was built and carried on the sweaty backs of slaves a.k.a "AFRICAN AMERICAN" and they continue to walk all over us hiding behind the law and a bunch of stupid documents.

Between-the-Dash

The beauty of changing colors
Transformation from launch to termination
Originating from the all unknowing standing up and reaching out to wisdom, knowledge, and pride
Stemming from one eager to jump in the shallow lake oblivious of the danger
To one who sits in the shade and enjoy the tranquility of the effortless flowing waters
Reaching up high demanding to touch the sky with accepted wisdom that it was a possibility
Now looking up to the stretched out blues and whites
Shifting forming perceptive images thinking about all the possibilities
What can I possibly do with the life that exist between worlds?
Knowing one day my body will separate from flesh and spirit
The ground will store my body
The sky will keep my soul
What will I do with my entire self between worlds?
