Heard this quot…

Heard this quote the other day.. Not sure who originally said it, but it bears repeating. Never let someone be a priority in your life when you’re only an “option” in theirs!

This is so funny, I am sure you will enjoy it just as much as i did.

Walk With Me

          Walk With Me

 

Come on lets take a walk real quick

Walk with me

Walk with e through the hot days and cold nights

Through the tough storms and bright lights

Let’s go back before I was born

Way back where my ancestors had to fight for their rights

Even before, walk with me where my ancestors were captured from, the motherland of Africa

By the devils that pulled them on the ships where they were living

Unhealthy like animals bunched together

For many nights, any days, and many months they traveling, through the middle passage through ever weather

Walk with me through the Underground Railroad

Walk with me to the wars of the world

Where Hitler killed the innocent mothers, fathers, boys, and girls

Walk with me to the white bathrooms and black bathrooms, and water fountains, and many more

Walk with me to the lynching of black people

Denzel said the white people weaken your mind and strengthen you body so you can be inferior

Walk with me with the great debaters to seek for rights to be equal

Walk with me; come on you can make it

Walk with me while I walk with Malcolm X “By any means necessary”

And Martin Luther King Jr. “non violent, non violent

Walk with me to sit on the back of the bus with Rosa Parks

Walk with me to the sixteenth street Baptist church bombing where four little girls were killed and twenty people were injured

Walk with me to freedom summer and the voting rights act of 1965

Walk with me through the Watts riots and the riots where blacks got sprayed with water hoses, attacked by dogs

And beaten by cops

Speaking of beating by cops, let’s walk a little faster to the future

To the Rodney King beating that led to the 1992 Los Angeles Riots and to the Sean Bell murder before his wedding

Walk with me, to the neighborhoods that’s infested with liquor stores, and crime on every block

Walk with me to see the project where I have never been.

In A Better Place-By La Keisha

When God took you, he put you in a better place

knowing you were safe and loved puts a smile on my face

When you were here things was just wright

you were like the star in my life bright

You always inspired me to be all I could be

You played many parts and also spread love

and placed it in many hearts

Although life might not ever be the same again

Should everyone remember you from the beginning to end

should you be the angel and get your wings the sky

wiping my tears when I would cry

I know you are watching over me

letting my mind and soul be free

Shall we meet up once again

where love and life will never end.

One pair of Hands

It was strange how I found this video today, but it was right on time.

this video is very uplifting and encouraging.

Stuff I Buy

Stuff I Buy

MC900447252

Stuff I buy-to fill my empty sky

stuff I buy-to silence the screaming inside

stuff I buy-to hide the things that

I don’t want you to see inside

YES THIS IS MY STUFF

I carried a big brown bag-not on my back, but inside my heart

all the stuff that I bought though the years

“pain, shame, tears, scares, lost, and rejected”

PUSH ASIDE LIKE YESTERDAY’S OLD NEWS

Yes this is my stuff……MY STUFF…..MY STUFF

Can’t shake it and can’t give it away

just stuck with all this STUFF!

sadness

Sometimes, that girl

who seems so strong

who never lets what people say

bother her, who smiles and laughs with

friends  all the time

is really the girl who deep down

is falling to pieces:

 

I found this on my facebook page

share by my online friend-so i thought of sharing it here.
