I am so in the mood to write a poem...however I have no idea of what I want to write about. I have been writing poems since 7th grade. I wish I was one of those types of people that could just write something on the spot. If someone askes me to write something on the spot like that. the poem would probably sound really really crappy. lol.. believe me I have tried....it sucks!!
Here go one from top of the head:
Roses Are Red
Violets Are Blue
I am Very sleepy
And bored too!! lol
Its absolutely great,...yeah I know

REST IN PEACE 2PAC
as I tossed and turned unable to achieve sleep unable to control anxiety unable to comprehend why
2Pac is not with us
if those who live be the sword died be the sword there would be no white men on the earth
if those who lived on hatred died on hatred there would be no KKK
if those who lived by lies died by lies there would be nobody on wall
street in executive suits in academic offices instructing the young
don't tell me he got what he deserved
he deserved a chariot and the accolades of a grateful people
he deserved his life
it is as clear as a mountain stream as defining as a lightning strike
as terrifying as sun to vampires
there were those who called it dirty
gansta rap inciting there were those who never wanted to be
angry at conditions but angry at the messenger who reported:
your kitchen has roaches your toilet is over flowing you basement has so much water the rats are in the living room your house is in disorder
and 2Pac told you about it
what a beautiful boy graceful carriage melodic voice sharp wit intellectual breadth
what a beautiful boy to loose
not me
never me
I don't believe east coast west coast
I saw them murder Emmett Till I saw them murder Malcolm X
I saw them murder
Martin Luther King
I witnessed them shooting Rap Brown I saw them beat LeRoi Jones
I saw them fill there jails I see them burning churches
not me
never me
I do not believe this is some sort of mouth action
This is some sort of political action and they picked well
they picked the brightest freshest fruit from the tallest tree
what a beautiful boy
but he will not go away
as Malcolm did not go away
as Emmett Till did not go away
your shooting him will not take him from us
his spirit will fill our hearts
his courage will strengthen us for the challenge
his truth will straighten our backbones
you know, Socrates had a mother
she too watched here son drink hemlock
she too asked why
but Socrates stood firm and would not lie to save himself
2Pac has a mother
the lovely Afeni had to bury her son
it is not right
it is not right that this young warrior is cut down
it is not right for the old to bury the young
it is not right
this generation mourns 2Pac as my generation mourned Till as we all mourn Malcolm
this wonderful you warrior
Sonia Sanchez said when she learned of his passing she walked all day
walking the beautiful warrior home to our ancestors I just cried as all
mothers cry for the beautiful boy who said he and Mike Tyson would
never be allowed to be free at the same time who told the truth about
them and who told the truth about us who is our beautiful warrior
there are those who wanted to make him the problem
who wanted to believe if they silenced 2Pac all would be quiet on the ghetto
front there are those who testified that the problem wasnÕt the conditions
but the people talking about them
they took away band
so the boys started scratching they took away gym
so the boys started break dancing the boys started dancing the boys started rapping
cause they gave them the guns and the drugs but not the schools and libraries
what a beautiful boy to loose
and we mourn 2Pac Shakur and we reach out to his mother and we
hung ourselves in sadness and shame
and we are compelled to ask:
R U Happy, Mz Tucker? 2Pac is gone
R U Happy?

I CAME ACROSS THIS POEM BY NIKKI GIOVANNI FOR 2PAC AND JUST STARTED THINKING ABOUT ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND LOVE ONES THAT I HAVE LOST TO THE HANDS OF ANOTHER...IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SINCE, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF KILLING. MURDER???? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. IN THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAVE LOST 5 PEOPLE TO MURDER...ALL INNOCENT BYSTANDERS...ITS NOT FAIR THAT SOME ONE'S LIFE HAS TO BE TAKEN BY THE HANDS OF A STUPID PERSON.
REST IN PEACE MY ANGELS:

Phenomenal Woman!! THAT'S ME!! :)
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I have been working on my paper for two days straight. I am finally at page number nine. This paper really isn't that hard to do. The only thing that I have found kind of hard is actually meshing each topic up to make it flow accordingly. So far it has been going pretty well. I am extremely exhausted!!! EXTREMELY!!
All I want to do right now is go take a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng hot bubble bath and lay across the bed and listen to Chrisete Michele!! I just want to relax!!
I often sit back and wonder why is the end of the semester so dog on stressful!!! Why are exams so hard!! Why are papers and exams always around the same time lol...I know this is college and everything but man, I be feeling like I will fall out at any given moment lol.
Well thats enough of my complaining for this blog!!

School is almost over?
Wow!! I can't believe that school is about to end. I am super excited about summer break, I can't wait to relax from homework, writing papers, studying for exams, sitting in class and everything else that comes along with going to school. I can't believe that next fall I will be a SOPHMORE in COLLEGE!!! That sounds so weird to me.
When I first got to college I thought that college was going to be all hard. Well thats the impressions that older people, (parents, teachers and everyone else) was giving me. College is now where near the torture that some people makes it seem. I think the only hard part about college is finding the time to do things. Other than that I dont see anything hard about it.
In high school, they used to say that college instructors do not care if you pass or fail, that may be true, but the teachers that I have gotten these past two semesters has been great. They seem so eager to help us learn. Or is that only because I'm a freshman lol.
I like most of my classes!! especially English...I guets to speak my mind and not get in trouble for it.
Well thats all I have to say for now
