Pic is self taken pic of me at my favorite activity. Raiding the refrig. The tee shirt is the one i'll be wearing May 1 to protest with and in favor of immigrant amesty. It came in the mail yesterday from The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial. I didn't have a white tee shirt until this came. Timing is everything.

to die for

by Henry Burt Stevens

there's a day
not far away

when those who
hold their noses

will stop and
raise their voices

a few in unison
later more

even later landslide
roar shore to shore

the force that
none can still

even from a hill
there'll be change

when all agree
justice will be done

the tipping point's
easy to score

it's when some
say and others

prove it's worth
to die for.

When one chooses one's value in one's life, there comes many perceptions from many corners; but those who choose to sacrifice, or to die for, they hold special meanings in their lives and is well-worth living, even if their life-span were shortened.

We must support their decisions to sacrifice, in whichever form they choose to do so. In their own perspective, it is a life well-worth living, and was meaningful to them. We must respect their choice of lives and give them our supports. They are to be recognized for their bravery!

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
