For the first time in American history there will be a Democratic Party Candidate for President who is either a Black male or a White female running against a White male Republican Party Candidate. Never mind the hate speech both Clinton and Obama have sparked by their bid for the nomination. I can now tell my son that this is America where little boys and girls, of any race or religion, can grow up to be President ( I hope). America is a land of diversity and of contradiction. / MCN: B64-RW1A-9461 Copyright Notice / © 2005-2009 Helen M. Bascom / All rights reserved.

I had a dream once / Oh maybe more times than that, / I thought perhaps, / If I wait, / He will come to me
The King made a beeline for his personal chambers; at least there he couldn’t be disturbed. / Following in his wake were a dozen advisors,...

I listened to his voice flowing over me, soothing something jagged inside my chest like water wearing a river stone smooth.
...she took her shears / wiped her tears / and said “goodbye, you bloody locks / and ruby lips…”
Poem and Photo
She quietly closed the door behind her…
Sometimes, / I miss my mom…
it was a dry white season / dark leaves fell thick, too swiftly their time ran out / and they dried reluctantly in the bitter sun

What the colour is your skin / What the colour is mine / And what the colour is God’s skin?
and we’d play outside / at that time of day / when it wasn’t quite dark / when it wasn’t quite light

I was reflecing upon different events in my life recently and I wrote this trying to express my feelings of one such event. These are written as songlyrics, but it’s basically a poet, all song lyrics are. I’m just looking for a bit of feed back. So tell me what you think.
members, please read
“I am brown. / Not uncommon. I am simple. Easily used, often abused.”
There is no use denying / Bad happens to good people too / There is no use in crying / That bad shouldn’t happen to you
I’ve really had to put a lot of effort into learning to accept things over the last couple of years…I suppose this poem is a little about that and a little about extremism…I don’t believe you have to always see half glasses of water as half full or half empty, although logic would have me think if it was originally empty then it’s half full, if was originally full then it’s half empty, but mostly I simply accept that half of the glass is filled with water, for better or for worse, that’s just the way it is and I’ll find a way to work with that much liquid ;) I absolutely believe in having hope and being optimistic about the unknown, I just perhaps don’t feel the need to work myself into a state of denial that doesn’t let me prepare myself for if things don’t go so well. I hope and I dream, but I try not to expect…closed expectation can be very, very dangerous. Expect that things might turn out differently to how you expect them too…lolz…that’s probably the most balanced form of expectation. Perhaps this is a long winded way of saying ‘take it as it comes’? Hope for everything, expect nothing. Read & Subscribe to my blog updates at: http://rellacafa.com
