A Poem…“Until there was you”

 

There were others before you..

Some fair some dark some both

light and lively

Some gloomy some doomy

Some sick some healthy

Some happy some not

Some cold some mean some loving some hot

There were some who smiled inwardly at the beauty of life

And some who didn’t like the thought’

Of being a wife

Some rough

Some needy

Some giving

Some poor

Some rich

Some chaste

Some begging’

For more

But in the end

There was nothing

There was nothing to do

Because what

They had in common

Was that

None

Of

Them

Was

you

A Poem About Relating

You gotta relate

Relate, relate, relate

It doesn’t matter who you are

Whether you’re short or tall

Black or white

Gay or straight

Whether you’re stone cold single or looking for a mate

No man is an island

If you’re looking for a date

Or searching for your mate

Don’t just sit around

And wait for fate

Get yourself ready

it’s never too late

To relate

A Poem about Finding Mr. Right

You’re better off with your average schmuck

because he won’t need any nippin’ or tuckin’

You can let your guard down and keep on truckin’

He’s got a soul and it may run deep

And when it comes to the L word he plays for keeps

And though he may not have a tailor making his shirts

Doesn’t mean that his mind is down in the dirt

The finer things of life like justice and art

May also be things that are right up his alley

So if he doesn’t have diplomas covering his walls

Don’t be afraid to make him your pal-ley.

So if Mr. Right doesn’t come through with those calls

Look for Mr. Real

To come running to you.

Poem…”On Finding The One”

When you get to a point where you know

that any situation at all

Anytime

Can take you to where you want to go

To create whole worlds for yourself

worlds without end

Then you will not need anything

But you yourself

And your own existence

Will be much much more

Than enough

And at that point you will find

The One

A Poem: “Space and Time”

“Space and Time”

Is each one of us formed of the Space and Time

In which we were born and in which we have lived?

Of promises made by planets and light streaks in

The night sky?

Of movement itself and darkness and light and the

Inexpressible feeling that grabs us when we look up

At a night sky and dream of going home; of being at

home with what we see overhead and letting our hearts

overflow with the universe that is within struggling

to escape and find its soul mate in the universe without

Subtle Affects of Racism

Subtle Racism Harasses Brain

Decoding ‘Ambiguous’ Prejudice Interferes With Mental Tasks

By Daniel J. DeNoon
WebMD Health News

Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD

Sept. 21, 2007 – Subtle racism interferes with black people’s mental function even more than overt racism does, a psychological study shows.

For whites, who are much less often the targets of prejudice, overt racism interferes with mental function more.

“It appears that blacks are particularly vulnerable to cognitive impairment resulting from exposure to ambiguous prejudice — a level of prejudice whites may not even register,” conclude Princeton University psychologists Jessica Salvatore, PhD, and J. Nicole Shelton, PhD. Read More
