I may never be known as a philanthropist, but I certainly am a lover of mankind, and I will give freely of my resources. - Maya Angelou

Take the blinders from your vision
take the padding from your ears
and confess you've heard me crying
and admit you've seen my tears.

Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaking need for an unshakable God. My pretty Black brother was my Kingdom Come.

You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
I screamed to the heavens....loudly screamed....
Trying to change our nightmares into dreams...
