Where to begin
Without looking back?
We’ve all been here before
We just have forgotten
I grow tired
Tired of self help
Tired of whining
Tired of hate. I hear a young college girl complain while taking another selfie, about an article she saw the headline of , and it just is the reason she can’t live here anymore. The headline of the article never read ruins her entire day.
A black man, got up on a Sunday and ate breakfast with his wife, then went to work, getting paid, $3.01 an hr no overtime, to dig the grave of JFK…it was an honor, he said.
I’m tired of social media
We’ve lost touch
I hope we change
I hope as a collective we remember, community. We rely on each other.
The Kennedy’s were assassinated
Martin Luther King Jr was Assassinated
Malcolm X assassinated
Jackie stood, covered in her husbands blood, refusing to cry, refusing to look away from her husbands face…
This is what the Doctor remembers…
We cry about hating this country
We cry about not getting the love we deserve…
If any family had a reason to hate this country, it was the Kennedy family… assassinated by the people they served…
Or maybe Jesus
Or maybe Martin Luther
Look through history…
You can’t postpone your growth
At some point
You have to get up
And take those chances
Facing yourself
And the risk
We win some
We lose some
It’s always been bad
It’s always been good
You can get stuck in these cycles
But at some point
You have to understand
The greatest seat
Is the citizen
The greatest power
Is love
Getting up every day
The honor to live and love
And be better than you were yesterday …
This is life…
We will step out of this
Better.
Having faced ourselves
And having won.
