Things Change, Do They?
Of course things change, but is it too fast or not fast enough. I'm listening to Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes 1975, and thinking of all of the music, art and literature that goes with what's going on. The riots in Baltimore were the first to awaken me. Teaching the year, ROOTS, aired and teachers like myself had to spend half of our time calming down the students. We often forget until we get a new slap on the head. I didn't have a cell or computer.
WE CAN DO THIS. Enjoy the work and instead of an answer, please post some work you find amazing. I have very limited computer time and am still learning. You're never forgotten.
1975 Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead The world has changed so very much From what it used to be There is so much hatred war an' poverty Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say 'Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands When you teach the children teach em the very best you can
The world won't get no better if we just let it be The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell But they don't have so very long before the Judgment Day So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away Wake up all the builders time to build a new land I know we can do it if we all lend a hand The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind Surely things will work out they do it every time
The world won't get no better if we just let it be The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Change it yeah, change it yeah, just you and me Change it yeah, change it yeah Can't do it alone, need some help y'all Can't do it alone Can't do it alone yeah, yeah Wake up everybody, wake up everybody Need a little help y'all Need a little help Need some help y'all
Change the world What it used to be Can't do it alone, need some help Wake up everybody Get up , get up, get up, get up Wake up, come on, come on Wake up everybody Writer/s: VICTOR CARSTARPHEN, JOHN WHITEHEAD, GENE MCFADDEN

This One is About Me
Every day, some days, once in awhile, the photographs of my mind come into focus, bombarding my cerebral field with small glimpses of this time called mine, only mine with views shared with few, the most trusted who may see parts of me, never the whole.
the entirety too complex, intricate to be understood, even by myself. Travels through life with feelings, emotions, thoughts, only mine alone, in a world too busy it overlooks a scream for help or to help, in the longing to be perfect; impossible for anyone called human in any age any year.
Finally after watching, praying, dreaming as the passage of time takes me down good paths, pleasant trails, bumpy roads, am I able to look at the pictures as I am willing to see this person change. Memories of painful gym class showers, algebra class horror stories, first love, first pain, first hurt, first God awful death,
help me to wade through what is good, what isn't or what needs changing, as aging passes through memories of becoming "a woman", then becoming, "a woman", a toiler, a wife, mother, whatever I wish to be; place a smile which helps fight the lines slowly forming around tired eyes, moving my thoughts on in this page of my life, never totally free of troubles, sorrow, laughter,
pushing me to ignore some words spoken which just don't matter anymore, or never again. Things that changed just never to be restored will no longer cloud my vision from seeing the person who is finally at peace in this time and place where I can live with myself, free from the shackles, which I'll no longer carry, as I march with the army human to
capture happiness whenever possible, knowing whatever ache strikes my body or heart, will be interspersed with moments of laughter and love, moving me on in my journey to truly survive whatever is placed in my way, lingering only infrequently to view the pictures of the past which will remain with me, living in the photo album of a life never again wasted pondering everything that I might have become. I AM THIS.
