So I need to test whether or not I can blog from my phone. This my attempt...let's see if it works!

wake up!

"being angry at someone is like holding a hot coal in your hand with the intent of throwing it at them, in the end you get burned" -ghandi

i am red in a narrow dark tunnel
coated in face values and what needs to be done tomorrow
i sit and dream of where the grass is greener
and wonder why i am getting no where

not being young anymore leaves you with the disadvantage
of not having the time of day to get the bigger picture
read between the lines
analyze the means by which you achieve justice

wake up, wake up i am your new day
your child waits for you to move
wake up, wake up i am your new sunrise
your lover waits for you to immerse from the mignight hour

i am poet again, i am mother for once, i am meant to lead my soul to its destiny

be your own protector, protect that which glides from your heart to your tounge
believe in the ability of your own strenth, power and knowledge
watch over your community, your brothern your sister, your marganalized strangers
watch like a hawk watches over the horizon
remember the beauty of the whole
and never give up on the small

wake up i tell, wake up!
