PUBLISHER'S PEACE

We Should Be Angry!

I mentioned in my most recent Works of Words that a few people stated that I sound angry in some of my writings. I reply each time - AND? Being angry has not stopped my progress. Actually, it has fueled my thirst for innovation and creativity.

History shows that any successful and game changing person was ignited through fear and anger. Heck, I wish my entire community were as angry as I am. I wish my so-called leaders were equally pissed as I am. I wish my black brothers would get angry and upset that we as a race of men continue getting screwed at every level by the hidden hands of power.

Are we satisfied with being reduced to second class citizens in most areas? Are we cool with getting less of everything, while we help (with our dollars) others get more of the good life? Is freedom that hard that we would rather starve and beg to survive? In most cases, we don't live like a free people. For those who may have forgotten or not realized it - WE ARE FREE!

What I'm most angriest about is that I'm witnessing with my very own (going blind eyeballs) a new generation (my peers) who have decided that freedom is too hard! Therefore, they would rather align themselves with the hidden hands of power to guide their thoughts and actions. These are capable and intellectually smart men and women who could accomplish anything on their own - with hard work, focus and commitment. But they seem more comfortable being told what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. They want the hidden hand to direct them who to associate with. Who to dance with. Who to talk to. And probably who to love. Unbelievable!

So yes, my Works of Words can be quite angry in its tone from time to time! And I have every right to be frustrated or angry. I see my people living in systematic poverty and being subjected to systematic racism - which limit their abilities to rise from concrete jungles. Here is what's really heartbreaking: The common man doesn't have a clue, therefore he doesn't have a chance. Peace and One Love.
