i go hungry on Saturday but fed in church on Sunday
i got a Real Good Job on Tuesday
but had to quit on Thursday
i heard too many "you people" on Wednesday
i went to unemployment on Friday
to hear come back on Monday
i went hungry on Saturday
Fed at church on Sunday
the prayer brought me into the unemployment line on Monday
got yelled at for quitting Thursday
said i overreacted on Wednesday
i could've got my $120 check on Friday
she can't find me another job till Monday
so i go hungry on Saturday
Pray for strength on Sunday
to bless me on Monday
i went back to my old job on Tuesday
to get upgraded to "you lazy people" on Wednesday
still mopping floors on Thursday
to get my $120 check on Friday
to feed my kids on Saturday

Freedom Fish poem African Girl 10
I inspire to be
like my ancestors before me
a bright fish in the sea
that finds it's destiny
passing the fisherman's nets that are trying to capture me
swimming to my fate like my ancestors before me
a bright fish that swims FREE
FREE FREE FREE
like my ancestors before me
a bright fish in the sea
that finds it's destiny
passing the fisherman's nets that are trying to capture me
swimming to my fate like my ancestors before me
a bright fish that swims FREE
FREE FREE FREE

The Great Charleston 9 Poem
"The Great Charleston 9"
Departed before their Time
I wish The World had a Rewind
To Erase This Hate Filled Crime
As Long as we Decide
To Choose Love Over Pride
Conquering each Past at a time
Allowing Forgiveness to Reside
In Our Hearts & In Our Minds
Their Spirits Will Remain Alive
Through Hopeful & Determined Eyes
Their Voices will Continue to Thrive
In Our Stories, Songs & Lullabies
Honoring "The Great Charleston 9"
