S.N. Goenka-the Vipassana guru; after a 10-day course, IF YOU STICK IT OUT,

IF you breathe, have an open mind, heart,

and be ready to self-evaluate, there will be a beginning

of a calm, successful, happy, peaceful and a brand new you.

INITIALLY, THE TEAHINGS SEEMED STRANGE, WEIRD,

ALMOST HARD TO COMPREHEND;

DAY 4

I was so done, and was planning my escape; by this time,

I figured this course isn’t for everyone.

This far-fetched notion of human kindness, equality for all,

was outside of the world I lived in;

I was used to back-biting, bitterness, hate, rage, anger, racism, oppression,

Inequality, the United States not being kind to the darker ones.

 Racial peace, out with ego;

no I, no me and no my; BUT caring for others,

wishing them happiness, joy, and EQUANIMITY can truly be obtained; 

I was beginning to see how America could change; more self-reflective, more honest,

accepting the past things for how it is; no guilt, no condemnation, no shame.

Goenka, a master, an accepting spirit;

he teaches not to care so much about your higher education or riches, but achieving inner peace, mastery of your mind to deal with addictions, cravings, negativity, hopelessness, that all can be accomplished with a calm mind, a peaceful mind, aspirations, sensations, kindness, caring for others,

BUT it all begins with the limited area around the nose; importance is focused on your nostril breathing,

and don’t hold your breath.

Regardless of color, creed, religion, wealth, young, old, boy or girl; he taught that putting others needs after we take care of our households, was the ULTIMATE GOAL.

10 days of no talking, no communication, no phones;

Being around nature, getting to know yourself, being honest about who you are, meditating and taking full deep breaths; getting rid of the selfishness, it’s all about me attitude, is the true place one should strive to be.

CHRISTMAS 2019

Holiday blues---

Lose, lose lose.

A beautiful Christmas day---

Is on its’ way.

Some love the holidays, especially Christmas.

It’s a time for giving and loving, leaving another “bad” year behind; looking to a brighter future, yet another chance to get it right.

Christmas---

It’s a time of pain; the hurt, the loss; remembering those that are no longer here.  After all, you are now alone; WTF is there to cheer?

Fake ass people

Giving ass people

Forgiving ass people

Hurt ass people

YOU CHOOSE!

It’s your choice---

But because you hate the holidays,

Don’t [email protected] it up for the rest of us!

Merry [email protected]’ Christmas!

Black People Meet

And I’m still single!

Met plenty of people,

many lie on their profiles;

meet for coffee, let’s sit and talk for awhile.

One was handsome, looked just like his pics,

his body tight, but couldn’t see his [email protected]@ print.

We get close, lean in tight, made him laugh;

damn! his [email protected]’ teeth rotten;

that odor I smelled earlier was coming from his mouth! [email protected] this [email protected], I'm out!

Met another, boy was he it; nice conversations, we met for wine,

oh so handsome, I was thinking, what sweet jubilation!

Continued to talk, I drifted for a moment, when I snapped back,

he was talking about the moons and the freakin’ stars!

Maybe it was me? I tried hard to understand,

after all, this was a fine ass Black man.

What? I say, thinking about my past astronomy class;

I wanted this to work.

Hell I thought, give this brotha a fair chance.

He repeated himself, and now talking about the horizon, 

he was all over the place,

Lord Jesus! this man’s sounds like he's [email protected] retarded!

No offense, yall know what I mean; 

I'm just keepin' it real, I'm not trying to be mean.

Another date, why not get food I thought; this one is Hispanic and White,

I always liked a little flavor in my life.

He’s into me, yeah, and he’s fine.

We finished up our appetizers,

no talk of moons and the stars.

We look longingly into each other’s eyes,

this may be the one I thought;

as he slowly caressed my hands,

I thought I saw a dam bed bug, crawling from his shirt collar.

Rough necks, never liked them, but give him a chance; 

his pic may not do him justice I heard my friend in my head.

We talked on the phone several times,

he sent me a few texts.

He seemed super intelligent,

I was beginning to vibe with this man.

He said he couldn’t wait for us to meet,

I had him intrigued.

He said I seemed real, and down to earth;

we talked several more times,

why this man hasn’t asked me on a date? 

Just as I thought it, he said, let’s meet.

We made a date for the following Saturday, score! I thought.

Made an appointment to get my hair done;

Saturday came and went, 

yall know I never heard from this [email protected]’a again!

Whoever said being a Christian would be easy-

IS A LIAR!

Whoever thinks that Christian are forgiving-

THAT DELUSION SHOULD RETIRE.

 Some of the most carnal, lying, deceitful, meanest people I know-

Are Christians.

Many don’t give a rat’s ass about anyone BUT their own families-

Isn’t that contrary to God’s desire?

 #Pastors #Bishops #church #TVministries-

Will guilt you for money-

Why is there always a building fund?

They want your house, a new car, your diamond ring

But

when your ass is in need, they won’t give you a damn thing!

When I’m wronged, I want to lash out.

When I’m lied on, I want to bash out.

When I’m talked about, I want to beat out.

When I’m stressed, I want to cream out.

Being a Christian ain’t easy-

Hey fake ass Christians-

Bringing up negative shit from years ago,

constantly causing strife,

regurgitating the past,

on yeah, that’s the Christian life.

Damn! so now you’re a doctor trying to diagnose others?

You can see everyone else’s faults, BUT your own,

when your shit ain’t together in your own home!

Let’s look at your past-

GOSSIP, LIAR, THIEF, CHEATER,

all the unmarried sex you’ve had.

DOES JESUS REMIND YOU OF ANY OF YOUR SINS,

all the negative things from your past?

OR,

 Is His Word true?

That He is love.  That he has forgiven our sin.  That He will wash us with His blood, all we have to do is ask.

So as Christians, isn’t it our job to be HIS representatives? 

To show kindness, forgiveness, and love? 

Stop being a shit-starter; we should be different from the world.

 BEING A #CHRISTAIN AIN’T EASY.

People are hurting

 Scratching your head in unbelief,

wondering why did it have to come to this.

It was hard to grasp,

your mind racing,

trying desperately to comprehend and think.

As you are sprawled out,

sleep still in your eyes,

you stretch.

Putting your phone back down, you pulled the covers back.

WTF!!!!

You just cannot believe it.

You just do not get it.

If only you had what they had,

things would have ended up differently.

Why?

Why?

“Damn!” you say out loud.

Hard to understand what made people feel this way.

Man! If I were them…you think out loud.

Not sure how to finish that thought,

not sure if it was in your head,

or even if you had actually said it out loud.

The pain their loved ones must be feelin’.

“Damn!” You mutter again.

All the ooh’s and ahh’s;  

many on Twitter were in disbelief.

You yawned, and sat up,

finally placed your feet on the floor;

silently prayed for their loved ones,

 to find some type of peace;

lifted yourself out of bed,

heading to the bathroom door.

PAIN

 Pain in my eyes, pain in my face,

pain in my heart, pain in my race.

When will it stop?  Will it ever end?

Will my race come to grips with the demons within?

I see people of color hatin’ each other,

I see people of color, jealous, envious, wanting to rob and kill each other.

Black men look at each other with envy and hate,

Black women look at each other with jealousy and distaste.

A Black man can look at a White man and speak and all,

but he looks at another Black and won’t crack a smile.

A Black woman can say, “hi,” to a White female,

but will roll her eyes and want to beat down a Black female.

No wonder we haven’t achieved all that we can,

we can’t even stand our own, we get along better with the White man.

So much distrust, thinking that everyone that looks like us,

is out to use, and to get us.

We are so confused, we don’t even like those who look like us.

Pain in my eyes, pain in my face,

pain in my heart, pain in my race.
