Honey

I've been missing you I should be kissing you, I wouldn't tell a lie got a love I can't deny. Late-night I listen for your call it never really matter how you came and went like ocean tides silently falling against a sandy beach. I close my eyes and I see you clear It feels like you're lying here next to me, Honey come back to me. Your love was so sweet like an open flower in bloom I'm dizzy from the time we spent together I thought it would be forever. I keep dreaming about your honey dip sweet sugar-coated lips and loli-pop fingertips. You know that I adored you its the way you loved me that kept me stuck on you like honey glue. "When no one would protect you I'm sorry I wasn't around to make them respect you." "I loved you cause you were my Honey even when I didn't have any money."

RACIAL AGITATION by Anthony Alden

Rumors spreading mainstream media outlets continue to blackout and censor police brutality and the protest the arise from them are not surprising. We must not forget most mainstream media outlets are owned by rich, conservative, right-winged drones whose news feed us what they want us to see and hear. Information is censored to dumb us down and keep Americans passive for fear if they “wake up” the truth will set our minds free from all the programmed propaganda.

THE DIVERSITY OF EXPRESSION

 Feelings we try to chase, feelings we can't erase pictures capture our innermost thoughts of expression. This is a collection of photos I captured over the years moving in space and time.

The Last One Standing

We may not directly control the politics in government; white corporate America, educational institutions, Hollywood, the judicial system, and financial institutions, but one thing we do have absolute control over is our own lives and choices that we make. I know choices can be influenced by our circumstances: the reality of police brutality, drugs, unemployment, poverty, broken families, poor education, and gang violence. Personal responsibility is a hard pill to swallow because it is easy to wallow in the misery of being a victim. “I have a felony conviction and can’t find a job so I’m going back to the streets” is an attitude too many young brothers commit to. Too often the fear of incarceration is no longer a deterrent for not going to prison. Lockdown has become a badge of honor rite of passage that some brothers proudly proclaim membership.  It’s difficult to have hope when your future is unclear, unpredictable and bleak because you have an arrest record that the job ma...
