Mirror, mirror on the wall, Katrina is the most beautiful of all. Katrina is the mistress of the glass moon. Hurricane Katrina moves like a great Olympian ice skater, performing the triple axle. She swirled death and destruction across the New Orleans Delta.
The eyes of Katrina unveiled an unjust poverty that smells like a dead corpse buried beneath the foundation of our democracy. How can a Christian Nation who preaches God's Word be so cruel to his fellow man? We are all God's children.
Americans of African descent sacrificed their blood, sweat and tears, in building the richest nation in the world.
People of Color never received equal compensation for their slave labor. They never received the promised 40 acres and a mule.
Lord, why is justice so blind? Where is the home of the brave? Justice falls helpless to her knees and the glowing light from her torch cannot find the land of the free.
Still, at night, we see the burning stars and the stripes, and all we are asking for is God’s love and mercy.
America the beautiful, unveiled her torn garment to the world. Meanwhile, the local newspapers spin fiction into facts. They know how to weave sensational headlines and photographs for public consumption. Nobody heard the children crying, during the genocide in Rwanda.
America the beautiful, the world is watching. America, the beautiful, the world is waiting. America, the beautiful, the world is listening. The world of humanity will deliver justice to America, and she will be judge by her deeds.
Remember, a divided nation cannot stand on broken promises or broken dreams. History whispered a secret that all great nations must have great falls. America, America, who is the most beautiful of all?

Africa |

Somewhere over the rainbow, a great civilization flourished, and we discovered a wonderful kaleidoscope of exuberant and vibrant humanity. Enchanted tones tell a story about a People of Color, adorned in shades of generosity. They blend into caravans of strong and beautiful faces. The royal kingdom with majesty, sits on the throne, and the mighty lion with pride, rules its dominion. Rights, rituals and passages speak of our greatness. Traditions taken from the Ancients are the seeds planted. As we enter the sacred place, paradise is never forsaken. Behold, the true Garden of Eden, as we drink sweet water from the Nile River. Timbuktu astronomers study the heavens. Mandingo and Zulu Warriors display a menagerie of war painted colors. They stand gripping tall sharp spears and poisoned arrow tips to launch, thus ready for battle. Juju medicine man mix repeated chants, as he drifted into a spiritual dance. At daybreak, we go down to the river flow, and shadows rise like the moon. Hearts beat in rhythms like fine tuned African drums, and the rainy season stay bound to Mother Earth. At the edge of a crackling fire, the enchanted medicine man delivers magic words and potions. Great powerful heavens lift every voice up and sing, To the sweet harmony of Africa
