I'm a masterpiece
Engulfed in imperfection
You gotta love me

Strong Black Man (Haiku)
Black man in power
Makes them tremble to the core
Let's cause an earthquake
Makes them tremble to the core
Let's cause an earthquake

Just a thought
Man's hardest struggle is also that of a woman.
And sin is executed by the flesh.
And the greatest desired sin is flesh on flesh.
How ironic.
And sin is executed by the flesh.
And the greatest desired sin is flesh on flesh.
How ironic.

Be Careful What You Pray For
I can admit that I am a prideful person. Humility is something that has been in my prayers often for the past few weeks. I earnestly have been praying for a humble, meek spirit; not wanting to be the short tempered, never wrong, hard to let it go Sharree. I want to be like the woman God calls His daughters to be. This week I was shown how far from the goal I truly am.
While at work I became upset with the directions of those holding authoritative positions over me. Of course I felt like I was being singled out and my actions of wrong doing were being blown out of proportion. If I can be blunt, I had a whole episode over taking an extended break without the knowledge of those controlling the floor. It was said that I took a break twice as long as that allotted to me, when in reality I did take one five minutes over, which is why I was wrong. For this I was removed from the preferred location I was in and placed in the least desirable. To add insult to injury, when I had a fellow associate tell them that I actually took a later break then expected I was told that they didn't care and I should have went when I was told. The reason for me not doing so was actually to help customers and allow my relief to go to the restroom. So immediately I was irritated for doing what I believed was the right thing.
As the day went on so did the attitude of me and the associates over me. I helped my customers as I always do, assisting them with their needs, directing them to the right isle, and asking did they need assistance. Though my irritation was obvious, I didn't let it keep me from my responsibilities. While standing in the spot I dread the most I had an awakening happen in my spirit. The Holy Spirit reminded me that I was working on being humble. This told me that I should let go of my attitude and have a "sir sir, yes ma'am" attitude. You know what I told the Holy Spirit? "I'll be humble tomorrow". Yes I did! I got at God just like that! Less than twenty minutes later I was called into the office to discuss my attitude. To be frank, my manager checked me. He reminded me that the store had no obligations to keep me and that my "behavior" was unacceptable. Now, I had many problems with the speech he gave me, one being most of the things he said were incorrect but I simply told him the situation and let the rest go. When the meeting was over, I still had respect for him and realized that I did need to be checked. Later I thanked him for it.
Later that day God spoke to me again. He reminded me that it was I who decided to dismiss Him. He told me that I was to be humble, I told Him "tomorrow". He came back to me and told me that I had been mistaken. He is a prayer answering God and I have been praying for humility and yet when put in a situation to practice it I refused. Since I refused to do it on my own, He had it done for me, through my manager. If I would have been obedient it would have been water under the bridge, but since I wasn't now I have to worry about my work situation for the summer. Obedience in greater than sacrifice, and for my lack of it, I was led to repent.

Young Man
Young man,
Why are your pants hanging like that?
Didn't you know that number on the tag is the inches for your waist?
And young man,
Why would you holler, "what's up wit it" to me?
Sir, I have no idea, but the only way I'd know you were interested in my was if you asked how am doing
Young man,
Why are you driving around aimlessly?
Why don't you have a job to get to?
As a matter of fact
Who car is that anyways?
Didn't you hear that it's better to lend and not borrow?
Young man,
Why are you so angry?
Was it really the world that did you wrong?
And excuse me young man,
Why did you call me out of my name?
See that's exactly why I ignored you in the first place
As a matter of fact,
Don't you have a chick?
Why are you in my face anyways?
Young man,
Why do you refer to her as "my bitch"?
You are helping put fuel to the fire.
And young man,
Why do you call your children "my niggas"?
Can't you see the problem when daddy's ordaining them to be ignorant fools?
Young man,
Why is your mission to steal, kill, and destroy?
Didn't you know that's what the devil was sent here for?
Oh young man,
where have your morals and conscience gone?
You know you're no use with them by the wayside?
Young man,
Why would you choose this destructive path?
Don't you remember the pain daddy caused when he chose it?
Young man,
Why not be bold and try something new?
You mind as well because as of now, you've already failed.
Young man,
Don't you know I use the term loosely?
In reality, your simply a male.
Young man,
I pray for you often.
Because my son and yours needs someone to look up to.
Young Man,
Take ownership of the title
And fulfill your responsibilities
Young man,
I love you deeply
Don't let my love or yourself die in vain
