The best criticism - the best revolt.

The best criticism - the best revolt.

The best revolt,
With a healthy dose of electric volt,
Requires better than a colt,
The best criticism,
Requires better than an eye trained to see the flawed ism,
It is concrete action,
Might require interaction,
Actions taken to change a broken status quo....

Present.

Present.

God's best present to humanity,
Is the present of His presence,
Through the vicissitudes of life,
That present is in the present,
Receive it,
It is now,
Material gifts can be gross,
Gold as good as dross,
All I need is you Lord...

The blessing

The blessing...

There is not a better blessing,
Like the blessing,
Of being a blessing,
There is a not a better place to be in,
Than in the position,
Where blessing is your name.

Blind mother.

Blind mother.

I salute the blind mother,
The mother who sees so profoundly she is blind,
The one who has seen enough to be blind,
To be blind to the tribal origins of a child,
To the circumstances of their birth,
To the color of their eyes,
To the color of their skin,
To the name of their country,
This mother's day,
I salute the woman who only sees a child,
And every child summons the mother in her.
