Black Angelfish: Where is the love?

Black Angelfish: Where is the love?

Something has happened to our world and today, if you are even the slightest bit alert you can easily see – reports of problems, conflicts and struggles.  And how do we handle this, struggle?  We seek to amuse ourselves; we run from ourselves and into activity which I call, distractive.  We half-heartedly commit to the process of reasoning to escape the situation and the circumstances that make many cradle their faces and cry, no more.

Even though many singers, artist, poets, social activist; men and women bent on change, as well as religious and spiritual leaders since the beginning of time have asked and still in 2006 the question remains, where is the Love?

Well, I submit to you that after some extensive research of my own.  I have concluded that the Love is right where you left it,  and it is there you are sure to find it.  Take a minute to think abut that, because it is important that we realize everyone is in the same boat.

This boat is riding on a roaring sea called life.   Some of the passengers have better seating than others and this is a reality many westerners, Europeans and Africans nations have wholeheartedly accepted as law, and for a long while, a “slow change” or a “cold period of war” became better than an immediate reshuffling of economic and political power. 

Now remember as I’ve said earlier, we are all riding in the same boat, on a roaring sea; and some have better seating than others – but this reality is bound to change.  Remember nothing stays the same, the more you change, the more things stay the same, and vice verse. Everyone wants a place in the sun.  Everyone wants to ride on the top deck which is only natural, only normal, for who does not desire the feel of the sun on ones’ face?  But it is the sensible ones, that understands life is about the exchange; the give and the take.

Blackangelfish: Drug and Sex Forever?

Drugs and Sex is not going to go away

Only you can liberate you.  Life is about the choice you make.  We can talk about what “we” should do until we are blue in the faces, but as I said in my first book, The Gospel Truth: Notes of an African American on the Run, people will do what “they” do based on their understanding. 

What I want everyone to understand is whether “we” admit it or not, drugs are never going away, just like promiscuity is not going to go away.  We all will have to make a  choice.


I say, “ 
Hail to the creator; life is here to stay.”  Life will take care of itself even after you are gone.  Sleep on that, chew on it but, be with thought; and let thought become your guide.  Realize your existence, whether you consciously or unconsciously chose, is limited which only amplifies the need for action. 

Action that considers the following:  Not all action is good and not every desire is a good one to have.  But everyone desires a place in the sun, and many will be denied. This is the world we live in.
