Tribute to Mayo Angelo .. Black Struggles

YET I RISE

 Still I Rise!!!!  Still I Rise!!!!

 In all this, what’s in a challenge … life?  

 

YET … I … RISE!

 

Inspiration, sensation, provides courage to move on … Chevro-lay!  Walk right! Talk right!

 

A man with one hand put forth, and looking back is not fit …”

 

Cyclically, as opposed to Psychically, we have emerged a faith-filled people

 

Yet we continue to rise …

 

A try beats failure every time; cream rises to the top;

Only the strong survive, the weak fall by the wayside

 

Face your fears … keep on trucking … have faith in yo’ faith…!!!

Humble yo’self   . . .  confess yo’ sins …

 

When you think you are weak, yet you are strong like an army of ants …

 

Small things too wonderful …

 

On the cross he hung; yet above all kingdoms, powers, thrones, principalities, powers, and astute evil in very tall places … 

 

YES HE HAS RISEN

 

 Dominion over every creeping thing, fish, fowl, mammal or mammon, poverty, sickness, dis-ease, dis-couragement; dis-illusionment; a-bandonment   …

You write like an abstract artist with all the pieces in just the right places. I like that. Even though I am not black I felt this poem and say Write on, sister.

Thank you IAM black is a color we are both human! I love your writings as well.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
