Ebony And Ivory
Ebony And Ivory
Words means so much, even more so the lack of it, as in communication. People are so quick to draw conclusions and hold malice towards each other. That way of living can’t be healthy for the Psychological wellness. One would think that ill will is an Engine we run on. I should be a Life Coach on this matter, my Family thought me well. My Mother was the Third Child in a Family of Twelve Children. She was taken out of School at an early age to help raise her Siblings. She even helped raising her Siblings Children. It appears to me that having Kids back then was a popular pastime. All through my Childhood I noticed that this Family was not as Cohesive as the Walton’s Family. At no given Time all the Members of this Family was in Harmony.
There was always One who wasn’t speaking to that One for whatever reason. The One that struck my attention was her younger Sister. I described her in One of my earlier Blog as someone who had the J.R. Ewing syndrome ( Someone who isn’t happy unless the World was on fire). She took the he said she said Sword of Division to another level. The Recipients would Pregudically Hate the One presumed to have said whatever. This was a Christian Family, so I ask the question, if this can happen in a Christian Family, what of the World of So many Persuasions. All the Wars, Political Upheavals and Social Discords comes back to me as the answer. People relishing bad Blood goes back to Cain killing his Brother.
It’s a Curse that we have to live with, Rising above ourselves is the challenge of all Eternity. As I have stated over and again, I am a watcher of People, being that way all my Life, that’s how I learn how to live my Life, or how not to live my Life. When I dig deep within my Soul for Answers, I find comfort in knowing that they Stoned Jesus when he was on the Cross, Barbarism is here to stay. How we deal with our Inadequacies defines us. Now we come to the Motivation for this Blog. Sitting at my Mom’s bedside in a Nursing Home, we rehashed all the above mentioned. I told her that once she Passed, I was done with certain members of this Family. She Besieged me to change my Mind.
She made me promised that I would be the Peacemaker, I Promised her. A Promise that I renaged on. The long Traits of bad Blood continued. It has been Seven years since she has been gone. One of the People I Promised her that I would not have Ostracized, cut Ties with me the Week of her Death. Seven Years later not a Word has blown by us. Guess what? I haven’t lost any sleep, I have resided myself that this is my Legacy, their lost. So anyway last week I was agonizing that I haven’t spoken to my Cousin who lives in Miami for a whole year, all through this Pandemic. I said to myself that she also could have called. Nonetheless I made the call, she was elated to hear my voice. I have always known that she loved me. She told me that she also agonized from not hearing from me.
Where the Conversation went is exactly what prompted this Blog. This One goes out to the Ones I 💘 Love. This One goes out to the Ones I left behind. She told me that she was Battling for her Life, being treated for Cancer. I thought to myself, my God what a miserable existence we call living. If you go to the Shelter and bring home a Puppy and a Kitten. Living in the same household and growing up together. They would never know that they were different and they would never fight. Us Humans could take a Lesson form these lower Species. Working in a Nursing Home in Pennsylvania brought me Full Circle with my Mortality. It was there that I realized that all my years up to that point were wasted. Keeping Malice, having animosity and worried about the price of Tea in China is downright pissing your Life away.
This Earth is your Garden of Eden that we take for granted, these People around us are our Gifts, seek out the Good. In this Nursing Home they had 123 Beds, one belonging to a Black Woman. I was the Only Black on the Staff, I don’t need to spell it out for the Deaf, who only travels to the beat of the Drums. While working there I befriended many of the Residents. I would go to their rooms and break the stalemate of boredom and Degection. I communicated while listening to their Stories and they and they’re Families Loved me for doing so. My Favorite was an Irish Woman in her Eighties who had never interacted with a Black Person. Liz and I grew so tight we adopted each other as Mother and Son. When she Died I went to her Room and kissed her goodbye, for I knew that a part of me was gone. That’s how People should live, ” When you go to Bed angry you are saying Prayers to the Devil” you might not awake and so you take your Hate with you. Look deep in your Heart, what you see is exactly what God sees.
P.S. This may be my Best Blog, Blogging is delivering a Message and I believe that I did.
Shared Article from AOL: Woman who falsely accused Black teen of phone theft claims she was assaulted

I have always mentained that Education don’t make you smart. It’s an absolute shame that one can be as smart as a set of Encyclopedia, yet as Stupid as Jethro Bodine. This Woman asking the Teen to remove his Phone from it’s Case, so she can examine it to see if its Her’s. How stupid can one be to think that the Teen carried an I Phone Case with him, so that as soon as he steals one, he would have a Case ready. I can bet you any amount of Money that she is a College Graduate. It’s a shame that Colleges can’t teach Common Sense, which isn’t as Common as Stupidity.

Stand Tall America
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Common Sense
Common Sense
Playing Partisan Politics during a Crisis is largely lacking of Common Sense, while watching Rome Burn. Playing Partisan Politics at any given Time is Playing the People who put you in Office.
Funeral Homes are turning away Business. Hospitals are being asked to store our Loved ones until the Funeral Homes can take new Customers. C.D.C. Prohibits Gathering at Gravesites, you can’t even get to see them off. Many Crematoriums have broken down from the overwhelming capacity that they have been working at. Front Lines workers are Dying, other than Dying they are stretched to thei’r limits with Stress and Grief. I recently watched a News Program where a Nurse who contracted the Virus” was now in Dire Straits. She needed the use of portable Oxygen so she could take care of the Nine members of her Family who were also infected, including her Two years old Child. A Fund me Charity was setup for her.
The U.S. Titanic’s Bow is submerged, there aren’t enough Life Jackets and there is no more room in any of the Dinghies that once were Hospitals. The first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 in the United States was confirmed on January 20, 2020, and reported to CDC on January 22, 2020. In March the Red Flag was Hoisted, while Partisan Politics waved the Red Cap. On it were the Words Make America Great again. Our Illustrious Leader told us that Covid19 was a Hoax. For Ten Months he Indoctrinated the Nation not to wear Masks. ” People wearing them are Stupid”. For Ten Months he Fiddled while Rome Burned. ” We are turning the Corner ” The Vaccine is just around the Corner. The Administration has been Lame Duck for Ten Months, while he Touted a Crooked Election Ten Months before the first Mail-in Ballot reached the Crooked Pooling Stations. I was no more than fifteen In the year Nineteen Sixty Nine, America was in Turmoil with Civil Unrest from constant Day to Day Protesting about Civil Rights and the Vietnamese War.
It was that long ago that I lost Faith in Governments and Politicians. During that time Russia was Ratcheting up its Brutality on Dissidents. I thought to myself that Communism was a Brutal form of Government. But how different was a Democracy that sent the National Guard to beat down Innocent Black People Asking for Equality, many were Killed, as they were in Russia. That was just to Illustrate how Inept Governments can be. Wheather dealing with discontent among its Citizens or a Pandemic of Tumultuous Proportions. Nero must be their Mentor ( Ineffectual and Procrastinating) Fifty years of paying Taxes leaves me feeling that I was Taken. Now I understand why Hillbillies don’t like to pay Taxes. When I worked for Solomon Brothers I met a young Man who Graduated College Phi beta Kappa. This Guy was Educated enough to learn Rocket Science, the Tragedy, he was as Stupid as Oliver Hardy, or for that matter Mo, Larry and Curly. He possessed not one Gram of Mother Witt( Common Sense)- ( Figurative Mind) -(Intuitivity)-(Rationality) in a Nutshell he had no Reasoning Power. Now can you imagine being Governed by a Congress, a Senate a House of Rep and a President all Phi Beta Kappas. All not knowing that Dead People don’t pay Taxes.

The Reason I dug all of this up is to Impress on the Ensuing Generation the great Importance of Enlightenment. Education is only a Tool to become Enlightened. One of my High School Teachers told me that I should never stop Learning. I chose not to go to College so I could join the Workforce, to keep my Mother from working Three Jobs to support me, while I sit in Dorms Smoking Weed and Drinking Booze while being Stupified and earning a Degree in Mindlessness. Fifty years out of High School and I never stopped learning for one Day. Some Days when I want to Perplex myself I read Shakespeare, some Days when I want to Overhaul the Suspension on my Overpriced Car, I read Chilton Books on Automotive Repairs. When I decided to start Blogging I began to read Books on Blogging.
When I wrote my first Blog, Three Hundred Words, I decided that each Blog would be better than the last. One should never waste thei’r Brainpower Settling for Mediocrity. Governments are Insulting your Intelligence. This Blog is Dedicated to Fifteen year olds, I was only Fifteen when I lost Confidence. You who are coming up don’t be like your Parents, Stretch your Minds, be the Lightforce of your Generation, don’t be a Sheep, be the Shepherd.A shepherd uses his experience, his know how, his guile and his devotion to successfully guide his flock. … We, as leaders, are responsible for guiding each of our team members, and our responsibility includes tending to their learning, growth and success, and to their wellbeing. Two Original Quotes by me, ” If you have Lived long enough to grow Old yet you have nothing to pass on to the next Generation in the form of Learning and Teaching, You have not Truly Lived, only Existed. The Reason why you can’t Teach an Old Dog to do New Tricks, it’s because they were too stupid When they were young to learn those same Tricks. Please go out there and be a Trailblazer, Governments all over the World are calling for your Uncommon, Common Sense. This is your World, I am only trying to live in it until the Lord calls me Home. Parting Words, Political Cronies aren’t Representatives of the People, only thei’r own selfish Gains. Am I the only One Eyed Monster who is King of my Own Mind?
Once again
Here are the Lyrics from my Favorite Song by my Favorite Group.
By Through The Roots
Where are we going
Look where we’ve been
Ignoring the signs
Blinding our eyes
Where will it end
We can live in the light
Or hide in the darknes
We continue to fight
Though we didn’t start this
And it’s killing me
See this world that we share
Painted by artists
Placing strokes without care
Think it’ll be easy to find some peace in a world but we’re are all just fighting each other
But a perfect pitch has a perfect plan and it’s not just a crushing of color
Can you hear my voice as I’m crying out
This is the movement, so move with me now, now
I believe that if we come together
We can get higher, higher, higher
I believe that if we stand together
We will rise higher, higher, higher
I believe that life is a canvas its all part of something bigger
Constantly changing with the times an ever evolving figure
What will it take to walk hand in hand change with the times and understand
Make harmony what’s unity
Erase the meaning of a foreign land
Now it’s a world with no borders
Demanding a new world order
Imagine that we never had to read another story of a life cut short by a murder
It should be easy to find some peace in a world since we all share this place with each other
Its up to us to spread the love around
We’ve got to support one another
Can you hear my voice as I’m crying out
This is the movement, so move with me now, now
I believe that if we come together
We can get higher, higher, higher
I believe that if we stand together
We will rise higher, higher, higher
I believe that if we come together
We can get higher, higher, higher
I believe that if we stand together
We can rise higher, higher, higher
