FEAR

I KEEP GUESSING
SOMETHING IS SMELLING FISHY
I KEEP SENSING DANGER AS I APPROACH THE STORE FOR MY DAGGER
I TRIPPED ON AN OBJECT AND STAGGERED NEAR A BASKET FULL OF PACKER
I APPROACH THE KITCHEN HOLDING MY DAGGER TO ATTACK ANY INTRUDER
TO MY SURPRISE, IT WAS ONLY A RAT SCATTERING THE BIN CONTAINING PACKETS OF EMPTY SUGAR.

MY BLACKNESS

THEY SAY AM BLACK LIKE COAL
I TELL THEM I LIKE MY BLACKNESS
MY BLACKNESS IS A REFLECTION OF UNIQUENESS OF WHERE I COME FROM
I LIKE MY COMPLEXION
I AM BLACK ALL OVER
BLACK IS BEAUTY
APPRECIATED OR NOT
AM PROUD OF MY BLACK CONTINENT
AFRICA

PEACE

PEACE LEADS TO PROGRESS
CONTROLS ALL GOOD THINGS
GIVES THE MIND A SATISFACTORY FEELING OF SAFETY
"PEACE" THE SOUL OF EVERY NATION
PEACE MAKES A STATE
PEACE MAKES A COUNTRY
PEACE MAKES A FAMILY
EVERYONE NEEDS PEACE
DON'T YOU?

CHILDREN

They are little
They are fragile
They are gifts from God
They are leaders of tomorrow
They are not to be subjected to suffering
They are to be protected always
Showing care for them is caring for the future.
