Tribute

I told myself 
I wouldn’t do this
But to good trouble 
Even in disability 
I’ve had privilege 
To have family 
But more than that
A brain and words
To articulate a pain
I’d prayed
My privilege 
Would allow me
To escape 
The injustice
And assumptions 
By uneducated 
Or misinformed humanity
Looks deceive
And for too long
I let ignorance slide
I promised I wouldn’t 
Make myself educate 
But where one
Profits or gains
Off the backs
Of others
My wants
Are eclipsed
By the needs
Of fellow brethren
I am not saintly 
I still owe forgiveness 
To myself 
For internalizing 
Comments said 
To me
But in reality
Not meant for me
Jesus cleanse me
And show me
What necessary trouble 
Looks like
John Lewis 
To continuing
The fight
To leave
America 
Better
Than I 
Found it

  2. I'm glad you spoke out Regine. There are plenty of misinformed, uneducated people who really just don't get it. And we certainly need more people like John Lewis who has now received his eternal reward.

  3. Well said, Regine and I'm glad you said it. I was inspired by John Lewis and the service today. I wish all could have opened their hearts to see it and to translate to ALL people who find challenges in this world.

  25. I think we all are waking up, some quicker, some slower and lagging behind and some who speed ahead passing all others in their comprehension of what's real (equality) what isn't, and what should be left to history and truly only our God ... voice of God... Holy Spirit can really lead us back to what we lost so long ago . I love your words. You are a wise woman and a pleasure to read and beautiful words for John Lewis who woke up and spoke up.

  26. Please know how much your willingness to speak out is appreciated. It provides support and an example for others, and even if the person you're talking to never "gets it" your example shines.

  30. I never thought i would be herpes negative again after been diagnosed for 4 years, i have tried everything possible in life from one medical doctor to another, one hospital to another, series of tests, different kinds of medication, i had already lost hope until i meet Great Dr.Odia online testimonies, a specialist in herbal medication from Africa, i contacted him through his email and number i got from one of the many testifiers,
    and he prepared herpes herbal medication for me which i took for weeks and now i am completely cured. I have gone to different hospitals for a check up to be totally sure, and all my reports are negative. I want to use this medium to express my gratitude to him for saving my life and curing me from herpes virus, for taking away all my pains and sorrows, I'm indeed grateful and I am so happy I'm now herpes negative. i will continue to tell the good news of your great works to everyone, if you have herpes virus or other disease contact him now via: drodia511@gmail.com or whatsapp +2347036904148
    and here is my whatsapp number in case you wanna know more about this doctor +15592106032
    thank you all and god bless you
