My Journey

Thursday, April 26, 2007

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.

Dear George Bush,
Glad to see that you came to Harlem. Next time please come to a school that isn't doing so well so you can see what your policies are doing to your education system and your country.
The future citizens of this country spend their days beating the crap out of each other, eating cheetos and drinking cheap soda. They're either overweight or underweight and they're almot all academically behind where they should be for their age. There are 13 year olds in the 3rd grade. They don't know any different because it's all they've ever seen. Their teachers work 60 hours a week in jobs where they are routinely physically and verbally abused.
Where will we be in 30 years when these students are in charge of raising kids and running our country? Maybe you should worry less about publicity and more about trying to change something.
Sincerely,
Ms. G

There's something in your eyes that makes me smile
David Grey

It feels so right to build a life with him. To support and be supported. To laugh and talk and enjoy the company of someone who understands me so well for having known me for such a short time.
I took my sweaters out of my closet today. People are beginning to wear only jackets...no more scarves or gloves. It's spring....which means it's closer to summer....and in the summer my home and his home will be the same place :)
