Lepadah reflection after Holiday and the Drum March OWS 2011

My Thursday, Friday, Saturday spent with family and friends. Some sane, some not you know how the Holiday's can bring out the Ebony hillbillies, country cousins, snobs, Bebe kids and the our elders who totally monopolize the day with complaints. But . . . I must admit the evening began with a hella smoke. Started with sprucing up the house, poured a nice big goblet (lol) of wine, proceeded to prep for Thursday. Completed all elements there of and started the ritual chopping of collards; washed,… Continue

by



Vernon J. Davis Jr.















It is Christmas Eve



and the snow is falling



on a lonely little house



in the countryside.











Come..., let us go inside and listen.











In this house, a little girl lies asleep



in her bed.



But sleep she doesn't stay, for she's



awaken by a bright light…

Chapter 5: H8ERS

I see you. 

I know you see me. 

I hear you.

But, in reality…you don’t.  You don’t know me.  You have no idea who I am.  Or, what I stand for.   



You look at me and roll your eyes.  You watch me and get disgusted.  You hear words coming from my mouth, and immediately get all choked up.  You don’t like me.  You can’t stand…
