Moment in Paradise

 

Now that we are in heaven

Will the scars of hell ever heal?

Let’s take a midnight swim

Don’t be afraid, my beloved

The tide will return soon

Let us talk until then

We have not talked in so long

We have not been our true selves

In so long

I don’t even know who you are

Isn’t that strange

To be with a person

To love a person

Yet you do not know their worth

That is why we came to this land

We left the wilderness

To see who we really are

My beloved, look, the tide is in

Come, let’s take that midnig

Testimony, a Love Song

Eternal Man

I remember when I met you, woman
The feeling has never left me
What is the magic of you, what is the mystery
Every day, you are there,
In my hair
In my skin
I hear you blowing in the wind

 
 
Eternal Woman

I remember when I first me you, man
You were strong then
Your hair was neat
Your fingernails were clean and cut
Your skin was glowing
Your ears were clean
You were confident, secure
Your voice was strong and commanding
I was proud to

CARLOS A. COOKS
A True Blackman
by
Robert Acemendeces Harris

 

If, as the new saying goes, "truth is [really] on its way" then, perhaps, Black People can finally also be back on their way. Which way? The way out of all of the confusion, contradictions and cultural degeneration that has retarded the liberation of our people these last few years. 

Truth is not an abstract, it refers to sincerity, honesty, conformity to fact, correctness, exactitude, et cetera. Carlos Cooks was truth personified.

Ethnic Cleansing of Black Libyans

Ethnic Cleansing of Black Libyans

Black Star News Editorial

 

The "rebels" in Misrata in Libya have driven out the entire Black population of the city, according to a chilling story in The Wall Street Journal today under the headline Libya City Torn by Tribal Feud."

The "rebels" now eye the city of Tawergha, 25 miles away, and vow to cleanse it of all Black people once they seize the city. Isn't this the perfect definition of the term "genocide"?

According to The Journal'

Ode to Michael Jackson

Originally Published on July 2, 2009

  

Raynard Jackson

 

Like a candle in the wind,

Your life came to a sudden end.

With “A Child’s Heart,

You began your start.

 

You brought joy to many,

But in the end, you didn’t have any.

You had money, fortune, and fame,

If that’s all we remember, what a shame.

 

Now, they all say, “I Want You Back,”

But is that all just an act?

They all said, “I’ll Be There,”

I am not sure they really care.

 

While you were making your journey home,

Sharpton was already in front of the micro

A fictional speech by President Obama on Troop Withdrawal from Afghanistan





 





Good evening, my fellow Americans. You some silly motherfuckers. Do you think I'm gonna bring a bunch of troops home from Afghanistan when my generals tell me they can make a few more billion dollars if we keep the troop level up. I'm not gonna do that, hell naw. As long as my name is Barack Hussein Obama. Yes, who sane Obama, but you insane if you think the thirty thous

“No single part of Africa can be safe or free to develop fully and independently, while any part remains un-liberated or while Africa’s vast economic resources continue to be exploited by imperialist and neo colonialist interests.” By Osagyfo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, First President of Independent Ghana and architect for Union Government of Africa.

Your criticism of President Zuma on his position taken at the United Nations in relation to Resolution 1973 on Libya is thoroughly endorsed by our organisation in Barbados and I am sure on the other organisations in the Caribbean in relation to Zuma's position supporting the 1973 Resolution.

As I was having a brainwave and contemplating what to write about the topic of our political leaders’ “achievement," “performance” and their “humility”, it occurred to me that I personally don’t resound with the concept of focusing life on achieving end results outside of myself. The English dictionary’s definition of ‘achieve - to bring to a successful conclusion; accomplish; attain; to gain as by hard work or effort - states that by its nature, achievement or accomplishment is a result, a conc

If you have not seen the Oscar winning movie, The King’s SPEECH, do so. It is an exceptionally well done film with superb acting. In light of the recent royal wedding, it was all the more interesting as it was beneficial in clarifying the lineage of the royal family and the Queen’s place in such. The opening scene returns us to the 1938 Empire Exhibition where, the then Duke of York , played by Oscar winner Colin Firth, is waiting in the wings to deliver the opening speech (which I will share in

Of Fathers and Sons at San Francisco Juneteenth


San Francisco's Juneteenth returned to the Fillmore District after a few years in the downtown area where turnout was light. People were elated at the overflowing crowd on Saturday of the two day event. It is just wonderful to see North American Africans greeting each other with love and friendship hugs. We wonder what it would be like if we were truly free in our own land. But we know it would be

My Take On The World Today

by Gary


I like to read history. I find that being back in school, I pour my writing talent into doing papers for my classes. I don't seem to have any energy left over for working on my books although I did read some Chinese history to get more background material for my book about the 9th century. I can't decide if it should be a mix of sci-fi and history or if I should separate the two into different stories.

I am trying to be interested in world events, but I am suffering from information fatig

Elijah Told You America Would Discard You


The time Elijah told you about has arrived! He told you the United States of America will drop you like a hot potato as it falls into the dustbin of history. Surely, you can smell the coffee. Clearly, the time has come when America has no use for you except as slaves under the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution, i.e., incarcerated slaves.




There is no work for you, no matter your qualifications. America has no wor

No Wonder The US Is Broke

From The Ramparts
by Junious Ricardo Stanton ~

 

“On September 10, 2001, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference to disclose that over $2,000,000,000,000 in Pentagon funds could not be accounted for. Rumsfeld stated: ‘According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.’ According to a report by the Inspector General, the Pentagon cannot account for 25 percent of what it spends. Such a disclosure normally might have sparked a huge scandal. However, the com

After my father's death I wrote a book title 'My Father Said"  It is a collection of many of the life lesson, traditions and beliefs my father shared with me.  You are about to read a letter from the book at the end of your life journey what would your son write about you?

 

When I was old enough to understand the logic that motivated my father, I realized how much he loved me.

My father never spoke the words, “I love you”, but every day my father told me: “I love you.” My father loved me enough to
