Our Blackmindz are as free to speak , learn and rise above our sinners who kiil any thought we may present in life . The tyme for change is now within us as a people .<br />
<br />
America and me has been on blast from birth and labled by the CIA / FBI / GOV and the security of our welfare base on the color of our skin and not the creed of our character as people<br />
We now face the worse of times through blind minds and broken dreams , divided thinking and selfishness <br />
we are at lost for who we are and what we are in life and our goals , even been taken down from our own self actions the way we walk and talk , dress America has alwayz been the landz for slavery and it's trade against blackz <br />
we now face the poorest of jobs / lowest of school learning time we empower our mindz but first we mush see self as oneself in the mirror and defind who one is and what movement self in, Life has toss a myth upon us and broke any chance of common bonding a unity or to unite.<br />
<br />
This story blog change face every time a soul change it's true rights and step away from it's rightful place in this none liberty not so free land. we have forgotten about our women the greatest treasure of life as we replaced it with hurtful/harmful and deadly tongues like a poison ship sailing.<br />
<br />
We the people of this land to form a more perfect union and bring forth our own understanding, Me in amerika under the falls of shameful deeds /acts and awareness has closed in on a whole new way to fight a system that's strong when it's back by greed / supremacy and other dirty deeds against blackz'<br />

<br />
Save me , save me from my sorrow <br />
take me away from such deadly horror<br />
allow me to walk in my great morrow<br />
and give me as i live my daily flower <br />
<br />

and still i fight in unities battle<br />
my life un-glue yet need no power <br />
for i have hope faith by da hour<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Stuck in tis colour maze <br />
suited in armor of silver glaze <br />

I journey through life's single page<br />
in america's cities stage <br />

Me and my fiance believe in God he is our soul provider.  In other words we are spiritual compatible.  And I love him for that.  He spoke of our intended marriage.   Saying that we dont need paper saying we are married.  Because that is man's way.  But God's way isnt carnal.  How many of you believe that?  Would you go before God to ask him to bless this union or go before Man to be on paper.  That is something I have been wrestling in my mind.  Because Jehovah isnt carnal.  We are going to try to get married next year.  If disaster and negativity doesnt surround.  I will be posting regularly about my wedding!</font></font></i></b></div>

<b><i><font size="4"><font color="DarkSlateGray">Small circle community bound the hood of poverty living on city street, <br />
searching alley ways for a meal to eat, stumble by night unto the next<br />
day same song continue to display in the hood of hollow screams and <br />
cold moments of voided dreams, struggling to live facing the greed as <br />
mental minds inslaved many bleed from the mist of forgoing debts<br />
humanly we search for will and jobs yet scared from imbound tame where<br />
many of us became cell mates in county jail, the street darkness covered <br />
in sin from pushers, pimps and feins killing what we thought was american<br />
dreams but found the misused liberty of freedom , poverty grew stronger <br />
schools filled in hope but the teaching was broken maze of hope,<br />
learning little becoming homebound to teaching the reality of life a new <br />
child born again into the struggling sin , lights dem is it a blackout or <br />
is it another face taken the place from window view is a truck , spoiled<br />
moments nowhere to go heavy poverty all we know as we get step on<br />
by the klan white known <b>supremacist</b> hubbing the hood to call it ghetto<br />
section in secrecy because we share different secularism our renowed<br />
security forces alerts us that we now have to fight with all resources.<br />
<br />
Standing half the distance away feeling pressure from what have yet<br />
blessed to have and living in the community of fracture dreams outlooking<br />
the shadows of destructional unjustice as another brutha beaten by the <br />
man in blue, knowing he turn in his white sheet for the color blue cloth and <br />
shinning badge of no honor, half masked the corner filled up with youngings<br />
singing in helm of harmony mistaken individualize identity all this ish getting<br />
out of hand but there was no real relief for the black hood then we was<br />
hit by <b>skoff of thuggish </b>, soon i took in the myth of what was and asked<br />
myself what is a ghetto and who is thuggish it was another way to lable<br />
our culture of colors into depression ,when the ghetto is defind as people<br />
in quarters of the city basely members of the minority group live socially<br />
but in or economic pressure that lead many to stray into illegal molds .<br />
This wasn't our idealism of living but forced into by the higher power <br />
these are people who have study our creed yet know nothing of it or<br />
our true belief and will but knew to place us together in one area from<br />
our madness of emotions and the poverty of our struggle we would <br />
destroy, betray and kill and if given the white cloud or angel the brown<br />
bomber which today is called cocain and harion we as people would surely<br />
go into oppression and destructional to our own little did they know that<br />
there own fellow men would be traped by the power it wasn't in plan but<br />
the philosophy to deem us our space and living , poverty took on a whole<br />
new meaning , still under watchful eye our governmental pimps set up<br />
stage two laboratoryal scientific experimental of AIDS or none less HIV <br />
they imbombed our motherland with this task to spread worldwide but let's <br />
be known facts that it was carried by the over sea whiteman bringing it <br />
to this country we call the U.S of A the devor struggle still remain and heavy<br />
our poverty still lives and inner slavery captured in the lands of nowhere<br />
america of no freedom or justice pose'd under no liberty as people from the<br />
communities of black nation poverty has divided us into pockets and greed<br />
to our creed with no living hope we struggle for ends and watch millions in<br />
our Neighboring hoods become homeless, shoeless and in hunger it become <br />
clear it's a never ending tale .<br />
<br />
We have took this word and brought poverty upon ourselves by believing<br />
all things and holding ourselves back short coming of the goal before us <br />
we are no way underclassed to any human being yet never seen as equal<br />
to a fare share we fight and struggle for everything we have and living.<br />
<br />
So many have fallen and related to the welfare for hope and survivoring,<br />
this govern, placed us in the sitcom of ghetto's from past belief of such term<br />
and vow to keep the poor poorest as the rich get richer politically , poverty<br />
has taken on a mainstream world view and outlook, we have tryed to break<br />
this mold of struggling but always alone without culture backing from the back<br />
yard of dirt this play in the mind of colored, we been driven by <b>racism</b> by the<br />

<b>Absolute poverty thresholds </b>vs. <b>relative poverty thresholds</b> --- <font size="4">As explained by a National Academy of Sciences panel, “Absolute thresholds are fixed at a point in time and updated solely for price changes…. In contrast, relative thresholds, as commonly defined, are developed by reference to the actual expenditures (or income) of the population of Black people”But this catastrophe also reveals how deeply divided our nation is economically and racially. Our social fabric has been strained by policies that have widened the gap between rich and poor, leaving many of America's worst off feeling marginalized and alienated. Those who were left behind,our poverty as blacks been politicly maped out by the white supemacy to keep us at bay and at there will, movements and leaders has taken the war for equality and freedom to the battle for black justice which yet been completed collectively as the gap gets bigger by our subconsciousness and lack of to free our minds from the american thinking,this story is neverending.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Black Poverty's Human Face the reality truth</u></i></b><br />
<br />
Extreme poverty keeps minds entraped in rage where it's displayed against self and within the communities bringing a heavy load of depression and struggle to the cause we face as a people,the world envision africans / blacks as the poorest of people with little resources,surpemacy christian organization has form and these zationalize programs to keep us in mental state of confussion and divided, this has given our poverty no hope til the eastern star rise again whom that may be , betweet the years and the past we now forced to brand our own with dehumanized structure, faces now seen on white wash T.V through media , the hunger and struggle has deepen beyond compare with a face of soon destruction , the cries are heard cross the nation for help but yet we unable to help ourselves within self to expand. Our oppressor smiling that we yet to unite a unity to a solution that will close the gap of poverty, Sadly we fight for the wrong power and kill for the heartbroken reasons as my study continues i find us more afraid to step up or carry the torch of goodwill that will help liberate an revolutional mass to break the mold of government supemacy that has under minded africans/blacks and working to keep us in poverty , we must now respond with an unforeseen occurrence of mental power, self will, and mental sharpness.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Black Women in Poverty ! The reality truth</u></i></b><br />
<br />
The Brothers are calling on the Sisters not to take the pill. It is this system's method of exterminating black people here and abroad. To take the pill means that we are contributing to our own <b>GENOCIDE</b>. However, in not taking the pill, we must have a new sense of value. When we produce children, we are aiding the <b>REVOLUTION</b> in the form of <b>NATION</b> building. Our children must have pride in their history, in their heritage, in their beauty. Our children must not be brainwashed as we were.<b>PROCREATION</b> is beautiful, especially if we are devoted to the Revolution which means that our value system be altered to include the Revolution as responsibility. A good deal of the Supremacist (White) efforts to sterilize the word's (Non-whites) out of existence is turning toward the black people of America. New trends in Race Control have led the architects of GENOCIDE to believe that <b>Sterilization projects </b>aimed at the <b>black man </b>in the United States can cure American internal troubles. Our Poverty is now at the state for an campaign to (Alleviate poverty the white supemacist america and their dupes, time we push for an all out drive a march from state to state with da wisdomize power of knowledge we have obtain through our dreadful painful yet enlighten history .welfare boards are doing their best to force black women receiving aid to submit to Sterilization. This disguised attack on black future generations is rapidly picking up popularity among determined genocidal engineers. This country is prepared to exterminate people by the pill or by the bomb; therefore, we must draw strength from ourselves. Poverty structure through white media tell how it is that poor black men don't support their families, how men won't be by the side of there women and how men love the streets / cars and drugs their liquor.We been masked as the problem,black women are under attack by the white supemacy to destroy life to cure poverty.<br />

My Goodness!!<br />
My Gracious Good GODNESS!!!<br />

I was in the Process of Trying to figure out HOW and WHERE in the World I am going to get some moneyfrom....I was strting to run out. Now I have been really good in Giving something Back to GOD in the Essence of me having something to give (Financially)<br />
I was able to do more than I probably EVER have, and I was happy to do it(THough I felt Adament)<br />

Now,, When I went initially to get my financial aid...the lady stiffed me.<br />
Even though she gave me so little I could not take over 15 hours, I knew it was GOD saying to slow my roll.(I KNEW I was trying to do too much this semester, but I was going to ignore that and go ahead anyway....I know...smh)So therefore He Stuck that rut in there....and I am taking 13 hours<br />
PSHT!<br />
Less than what was decent!!!!!<br />
(Look at that...my minimum wold have been 15 hours but I could not get the classes so...13hrs it is)It Ain't IRONY!<br />
So I went Yesterday to get my money posted to my account, being that it had not and she said it would be up there lateron lat night.<br />

Now, I looked at the balance that was stated on the fee's list and it said 6932(That standard fee forout of stater I can NOT STAND!<br />
But I am only taking 13 hours....so...why(I thought) is it still that much?<br />
Now the lady only gave my 7116 for the semester...(I though it was 7 016 before) so I was only planning to break out will 100 dollars tops....I was going to be stressed...I Have books to pay for Man!<br />

Images swirl in a dance around her mind as her fears creep up a mist the darkness within her soul. (I seek the knowledge within). Your dark, yet you fear it. Because it is a side of you, you wish to keep hidden not yet knowing its potential. Vulnerable to the touch. Her body is intense, but her mind is deadly.....<br />

I want to give up this race and drift off to space.<br />
To find ones wiser beyond human wise.<br />
Giving up all thoughts.<br />
Giving up this dead language.<br />
Giving up my human goals and waking up to my minds dreams.<br />
These worlds so far away. With each one carrying a piece of me.<br />

I am giving up all these emotions bc all I feel is one the most.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>[I][COLOR=&quot;RoyalBlue&quot;]I no longer feel for my life but what about yours? For you I bleed and cry a river. When you hurt the skies light up and the clouds clap. This body trembles and my bones shake. Another fallen star in your system and I watch as my sun's light grow dim. The world is closing in on him and I think he wants to escape by his own hands. I feel pain because I dont know what to do. He is hurting and I watched him set on a early day as I sat on the moon.[/COLOR] [/I]<br />
<br />
<br />
[FONT=&quot;Georgia&quot;]How do you ease the pain of a friend who's own blood was shot by the hand of another black man? His world repeatedly being turned upside down because of his environment and all he knows how to do is survive? Survive the best way he can while still holding the weight of the worldon his shoulders, with pain in his heart and poison in his mind? What should a woman do? All I could do was tell him to breathe because I could not breathe for him. I told him to think of sweet things because my face was not in front of him. I told him that I loved him just in case he felt like no one else cared. Were my words good enough? He lives so far away from me but is so close to my heart and I wish I could be there to do more.[/FONT]</div>
