Roses Are Red – Add your own poem

J Harris — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 08:28:51 +0000

Roses are red and Violets are blue
This may be common but what does it mean to you
To break it down it is to appreciate the simple things
Beauty of life’s vibrant colors, sweet smells, the way birds sing
The evolution of the living to survive
The borne desire within us to strive
The love that we receive from our mother
The warmth created by being close to one another
No matter the complexities of the cards you are handed
To not enjoy the simple beauties of the world is not recommended
The intensity of the life you live
Is in direct accord to the effort you give
So live every moment with a vigorous passion
Be blessed with every bloom, sunset, and personal interaction
Some Roses are red and few Violets are blue
So take the time to notice them and to your self be true

Please Be a Mentor

DO!

100% College-bound

She stared down at a muddle of D’s and F’s on his eighth-grade report card and threatened to kick him out. He had barely passed elementary school, and high school wasn’t even on his radar.

“Something just clicked,” Alexander, now 18, said. “I knew I had to do something.”

On Friday, Alexander proudly swapped his high school’s red uniform tie for a striped red and gold one — the ritual at Englewood’s Urban Prep Academy for Young Men that signifies a student has been accepted into college. 100 percent of its first senior class has been accepted to four-year colleges. What an accomplishment, this is something all parents and teachers must demand from all educational institutions.

When a teacher friend of mine fought the LAUSD for a Black male program to separate and focus on the the particular issues this demographic faces, he was denied due to a perception of inequitable “reverse discrimination”.

Do you think an all male classroom setting with a strong recruitment of African American male teachers with shared and practiced values and expectations can make a difference in the lives of urban Black males who are dropping out of high school at a faster rate than graduating?

My God

J Harris — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:50:33 +0000

I define religion as mans interpretation of divine existence. This is a way for man to get comfortable with living with the unknown. The alternative is living in fear. God heals fear. While you walk through the valley of death, you will fear not. As you lay on your death bed, you will fear not. For God is your answer…beholden unto peace.

Regardless of if you pray to Saints, Jesus or Allah; if it brings you peace at heart and harmony with nature, it is complete.

Four little girls

On September 15, 1963, Addie Mae Collins- 14, Carole Robertson-14, Cynthia Wesley-14, and Denise McNair-11, were in the basement of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. They were preparing for the 11:00am service when a dynamite bomb exploded, killing them and injuring other members of the church.

Sacrifices can be honored or ignored. Prices where paid, we must remember and push towards national, cultural and inner peace.
