What a Difference

What a difference we as a people would be. What a difference if we just stop promoting self, competing to be better than anyone else. What a difference if we could see and then fill the need in people. What ever happened to loyalty, self respect, loving and caring for one another?. What a difference it would make if we could unselfishly be there for our sisters and brothers. What a difference it would make if we were no longer the keepers of hidden agendas, jealousy, and animosity. What has happened to the Black Family? What a difference it would make if we were not holding each other back?, Turning our heads like we don't see what is destroying our lives daily. What a difference it would be if we would stop turning on one another like none of us even exist together What a difference it would make if we would stop with the injustice of socially, physically and maliciously killing ourselves. What a difference it would make if we would just speak up and stop joining forces of nun-productiveness and anything that will leave bright lives for dead. What a difference it would make if we could see other families coming together to help one another.. What a difference it would make if will finally realize we are losing our women, men and children. because; not only do we neglect to take care of our own selves.. We are too selfish to care enough to help anyone else. What a difference it would make to be a better person.

Hello Linda, Thank you so much I really appreciate your compliment. The warm welcome was felt and I am humbled to be a part of this community. Yesterday I joined and I believe that I submitted for the poetry contest. I am not really sure though. I did submit at least 10 poems just to get myself started. If it would not be a bother, would you look into this for me and get back with me on this. I know you can tell, I am so new (lol).
