Something that would take me from my passion would be money problems, or family issues. Also life unfortunately always brings something to confront us something that would take me from my passion is losing a love one that would impact my heart and my soul. Everything would be doomed if lost any loved ones

            The road of slavery for Beloved was something that hurt her mentally as well as spiritually. Her heart burned for  Sethe, escaping slaver spirituality was her defining moment to break free from the strongest grip of her slave master. In the book Beloved, she had suffered from pain, and heartache, she had to watch people die in the eyes of Sethe. In order for a person to survive 
one must find hope in god, to win the battle of slavery. “Where are the men without skin” (254). Forced to be slaves and to be treated lower than animals. Slave master were contempt about how they treated blacks, their minds were felt with anger. Blacks didn't have a say in what they can eat or what they can achieve in life. As slavery became force upon by whites, blacks started to deteriorate from starvation which eventually led to death.” The loss of two niggers”(267).

As a generation of blacks begin to die so did the young children; slave masters felt they were the higher superior in blacks life. Slave master had no mercy for children slaves, therefore consequentially diminished blacks as human. For beloved a spirit that had trouble of finding her place for love, her reflecting in the water showed her pain from slavery. Beloved had saw the dark, but wanted the light that shined above the hills just like other young children. The passion in her soul was present, for her to go further and touch dreams; she needed to overcome her past. “Chewing laughter to swallow her all the way” (323). Facing the truth was brave; she understood why her spirit felt lost.  Because she wanted to be loved.  She had never felt that before, and could not understand why She wasn't  held, loved, and cared for.  She wouldn’t  know how to embrace that, the thought of I24 stayed present in her soul.  “Touch me on the inside part” (311). Beloved wanted her spirit to be lifted, into a place where she could breath. The lonely child continued to search for the face that brought love to her underwater. As she begin to think how life could be if she had love instantly, reality had sunk  in her mind while underwater.  Reaching out to grab on to some aspect of life ,by now every nightmare she has had is being brought to life.

          Loneliness in her head started to come forth, her light wasn’t coming towards her way the dark  pain emerge.  Her love was gone on a path that was unclear, and felt out of her reach. Love was what she needed to beat the unpleasant dream. The spirit still felt unpleasant, occasionally her heart would detach from the spirit and wonder to Pall D. She would want to take control over a situation by using her heart. She just wanted love to grow in inside her.

The soul of beloved wander around, broken from the heartache Soul trapped in a world where no love can be cited for her. Her spirit was driven in search of love, as the face in the water repaired, the search for love continued to make a mark on someone.  Her soul would not move forward without obtaining love, what she wasn’t aware of was people didn’t have no love for her.

The footprints that many shoes fit, was the walk of slavery from child to an adult lives were shattered. Innocent babies were harmed treated like rag dogs, beloved was a spirit, that was once a human being and treated like animal, now a spirit in search of love from a human being. Now the problems are that she cannot be touch, heard, and seen.  Though she cannot do either of them things she continues to dream. The fight for love kept her breathing, even as a spirit.

Now the awake of her spirit is shaken by the by the water in the memory of footprints that cannot be forgotten. In a time where pain had continued to surface, where beloved  could only dream love. Her dream would not come true, because her heart wouldn't let her  believe. Waiting to be loved drove her soul away to another place. her dreams seemed to be very real on the inside, to be loved  and understood. In reality the world doesn't care about how much love you have, the only thing the world care about is where you stand.
Beloved wanted be loved, and hugged and cared for, weather  it was her family are not, all she wanted was love.

Growing old

Growing old doesn’t stop for no one or anybody we all will grow old but some of us will have to got through more then others the struggle for education prosperity and love was inside young blacks at all because the negativity was surrounded by them because of this situation it made it hard for families to survive. (Baby Suggs) was a woman that many scars from slavery and it caused her so much pain that she had flash backs of her struggles which made it hard for to carry on life an be happy.  Pursuit to happiness was in a slave mind set for them to be able to walk  where they wanted and free and not held  captured from being free.  Our people has suffer from defeat and also evilness to you have over stand for you understand how blacks made it through slavery. They overcame rape hardship hateful words and derogatory language. The need for love was needed more than ever and there wasn’t none being express amongst the slave at all they were tortured and hung and burned that would hurt me mentally just thinking about that to know are lives meant nothing to nobody are freedom was destroy, and are minds were forcefully used. To have life be treated like a dog and not value is demoralizing and defeating in all aspects of life. The blood that was shed and the tears that fell on the ground and the separations from families made mothers cry while families continue die. Poem the strength the love an power misused and made families leave the young the misled was heart broken by no love and no guidance wish there was a moment of silence but not in the violence   today we riot when here another brother was  but not when another brother is taken by another brother when does the change take place and when it does will it impact the society like it should or will it even impact the hood feeling lost to this odd position how can the change take place to stop this dramatize media from eating  us alive and what are ways we can  the mind setting of are young ones, to make sure they have the best self sufficient life style but only time well tell in this corrupted world we live in.

Hate

Hate inside people

How can we change the world with hate going around trying to stop us from  success the power that is installed with positive energy is powerful hate is something that  puts people down and  destroy their mind  because of the capacity is to heavy for one sustain and manage the trouble it brings to someone is in morale  are thoughts are base off we fill towards each other, nobody is boring with hate but if your surrounded by nothing but hat you will eventually have hate in your mind.  Society can be broken with discrimination in our inner cities. so many babies dying crying for help and , mother laid up dad  sprayed  living life without guidance in the moment of silence  with the massacre in the inner cites are keeping us from expected life. The journey to success starts within you in the heart of that person love is the most powerful and profound thing have and grow as a human being no love for a brother that did the crime and quick to judge even when you completed the time. Hard earned workers are still judge because the skin colors.  So how can we win when they expect us to sin no more time to hate it’s now or never do change is amongst us are only we can defeat the system by being educated black man  as I seen in 12 years of slavery  the man who was innocent was violated  for no reason is rights were not important to the whites. They didn’t care about Morales has human beings and are beliefs. They feared of what we can become they saw the monster in us we needed are life right to establish something new in the world to bring in a new life we as people have to grow and understand or dreams as African American man dreams are possible when you have hope in your words and understanding where you came from. When dreams thought with hatred and evil you begin to lose hope in your dreams.  Life is about choices and dreams which can equal to success and more hope. Transforming the negative mind set and pushing forward and ahead to give someone that had pain of hardship. Making a move to better your life is the best move for your life. Outbreaks will occur in life but it’s how we over come them to be a strong.

Being beat

 

 

Being beat like an misunderstood animal miss treated as human slave master not satisfy until they have beating the blood out of blacks no symbolic  are no love for them many nights of crying stressing and wondering where is the next meal going to come, are is it going to come?  The love wasn’t present form a slave master, the hardship of living in that dark world so much hatred in a person., how can someone hate another human being another color what sense is that none at all the most sinful thing you can think of  no love from a brother so we go against each other we are fueled with anger the danger might be to a stranger  or maybe a sheriff  that’s consider ranger , flash back getting beat down being raped having freedom taking away because the white man  had the power to do so. Fast forward no longer the white man fault only in the judicial system  how can manage and bring damage in a political  way to take on the so called system that is suppose to democracy to everyone but doesn’t  do what is right…

Are entire government is troubled by unmoral   behavior that I is destroying the country what can we expect from all of this more pain suffering from the society  we are not being beat physically but mentally emotionally from the government,   has time continue to pass by  the society is hand of the government. Flash back “whip you for looking at him straight” (93).  The master would beat, and beat you until he got tired sprayed waterholes without that thought of wondering how bad this human being would be precious the slashing cursing the evilness installed into a young kid mind frame to hate somebody black.  Present day how can we move forward when the justice system is submerging community no unity amongst ourselves to brake the barricaded cycle of mass incarceration a lot has change since slavery days but it is important to know that we need an Meaningful person to speak to our low income neighborhoods for change in life to survive this deep pool of recession family stressing and no to help the ones who really need blessing. The conflict between bad and good is miss understood in the hood that’s why are focus needs to be towards are youth for optimistic success.

Slaves to the mind

 

 

 

 

Slaves chained inside the heart my dear beloved the pain is woke from the start  where are where are you, I’m looking for love just trying prey for my brothers that are enslave in the new system, some of them got life and still try to fight  once had a vision  in the shooting stars, now sitting behind bars, asking and wondering why it went this far. Beloved where are you , no love for you in a dark place looking for an opportunity to evolve and  grow into a strong human being but you  felt cursed asking for a change to be yourself without any help but the need for guidance is needed more than ever.  Beloved where are you locked away from family in pain suffering form heartache, thunder is crashing through the eyes deep pain, in the eyes of a young girl that just simply needed hope and change life is suppose to be a amazing experience not a painful one.

Years ago it was slavery, the modern day slavery is police brutality amongst blacks in the inner city that is a big problem now that modern day slavery is also in the court system where the judges make unfair choices about African American man in California there is high rate of young men in position because they were false fully accused of an action that was not committed.

Beloved a young girl going through things when slavery was present how she could manage at young age growing up in the cold world  finding her place in the world was challenging  “These my hands” (166).  Barely realizing that freedom was in front of her. She wasn’t use to that free feeling, because of her enslavement for so long now that people can look back and understand where slavery came from, we can beat the new system that is trying to slow us down from are future. There isn’t no limit to success in life, but when something like slavery can become staggering for people that aren’t prepared for it, in many ways people that are faced with  a depressing situation it makes you become humble because you are going to appreciate  the things you earned In life. To never forget where you started from. And to install into the young people as long you dream big anything is possible

The N word

The word nigger

 

Being  called a nigger is  demoralizing  in so many ways today blacks feel it ok to say nigga but  doesn’t understand the meaning behind the word, in our mind we think its ok to acknowledge each other  that way. But in reality we are putting are self down , the pain the suffering people had to encounter  was  unbelievable, now words we say are played with.  Keeping are eyes on the apple while going through obstacle is remarkable because out lives are starting to change because of the words we say.  To brake this epidemic name calling we gotta start from the roots I’m tired of my brother being   unconsciously aware of the words we use day to day basic.

Pants sagging low and disrespect to elders and no love for out community with this negative mind set continuously growing how can we prevent this  from spreading to the children the dream that martin luther king seen hasn’t emerge , the society needs to see the what are black community are going through. Mabe they do see but doesn’t have clue on how it effects our neighborhood. The media puts out images of blacks calling and using the word n word, today in 21century we are making our elderly question us on our history.   How can   we  know our history  when it is being taught the  wrong way. 

The nigger word has been replaced with the word nigga the difference is that the word is glorified  to everyone.  To empower ourselves we need to understand the meaning of the word which mean ignorance.  To focus on the goals  in the positives times we  need to dig deep in our souls to bring the light out which is installed in us. No more foolishness from the young people anymore change is now needed more than ever for the sake of the next generation  we have grasp all the knowledge . Powerful movements need to be held in impoverished community to support the youth.  We can change the stereotype  that  blacks are labeled. With so much black on black crime in our society its hard to discover whether or not we our people will survive the atmosphere of negativity  energy circles people I know but change will start when find the  solution  to the problems. Bringing forth a change is hard but once it happens we can find others ways to implement them in other communities.
