Queens County is the right place to be
and have an unforgettable cosmopolitan fun;
right here, in the Fresh Meadows Park,
where international competitions are held even after dark;
see the fabulous tennis players: Serena and Andre' win their trophy;
the summer day will flee as their speed, but this memory won't be gone!
Ever wanted to see the world in a small place:
come here and meet all peoples,
hear their music and dance with them swirling around as a dancer!
These events promote World Peace,
getting all races together and appreciate what they have to offer:
only then we realize how similar we are in dreams and ideals!
And besides entertainment, there's lots of food:
each ethnic group we'll greet you by welcoming you in their tent: taste
some of their delicacy, it'll delight your palate;
oh, they'll smile and thank you for having come as a friend, not a stranger;
and kids will surround and hug you by teaching a new word...
isn't this an occasion to meet young people who will remember you forever?
A POETESS’ MURDERED LIFE
This is for Renee Nicole Macklin Good!
-Poets of the World
The gunshots of ICE (Trump's anti-immigrant serial killers)
Rumble in the air of Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA)
Filling people with panic, terror, and fear.
They have witnessed the death
Of a precious poet, a writer, wife, mother, and aspiring guitarist.
Winner of the prestigious award from
The Academy of American Poets for her poem titled:
"On Learning to Dissect Pig Fetuses"
She died from two precise shots.
Death that the mad evangelical
Criminal and fascist Capitol Hill man
Applauds with the hands of all his henchmen
Who venerate and worship his wealthy cock
With two balls that he wants to resemble, no doubt
Those of the Mongol warrior
And conqueror Genghis Khan
Who unified the nomadic tribes
Of this ethnic group from northern Asia
Founder and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire
Whose Nicole’s death the republicans applaud and cheer
Swallowing all the lies they tell about her death.
Perhaps because she was a woman and a poetess
A fighter for the dignity and freedom of her community
The madman of the Capitol Hill has raised his neck
To take part, without being present
Dancing his “dance of the disabled”
For the death of an innocent, beautiful woman
A defender of human rights.
The “madman of the Capitol Hill” is afraid
Because he thinks that
She and her people will take away his empire
Leaving him dethroned and a mere pittance.
Perhaps, also, because of her extraordinary poem
Awarded in its day well deserved
That the whole country now recites
And will recite forever
Remembering her
So that the poem and she
Will not fall into oblivion.
Now, this madman in the Capitol
Deafening the ears of the people
With: War! War! Or: Peace! Peace!
Death to immigrants and adversaries!
He won't light a candle
On the makeshift altar dedicated to her
But instead wants to march to Greenland
To screw over the Vikings or whoever
By dropping the atomic bomb on them
Or buying their rare earth elements
With money acquired through slavery
As he himself boasts
Dancing his repeated dance of a disabled person
Which, like a dense fog
Dispels his murderous and criminal eyes.

The black days of history that many do not know
And many refuse to accept - of how the black man
Helped AMERICA to be the greatest country yet.
They was brought here as slaves because the
Color of their skin !
But their minds was never searched to see
What lied within.
Every ethnic group that came to the states
Had many a hardship that they had to face.
Every race that came was given a derogatory name
Which they had to accept and had felt the shame.
But they all contributed to this great nation of ours
Which is now known as the greatest power.
These are just a few facts of what the blacks
Had given to this nation, and many of these
Became part of our salvation.
FACTS: )1) john love- invented the pencil sharpener in 1897
2) Joseph lee -invented a bread making machine that mixed
The ingredients and kneaded the dough in 1895
3) Thomas l Jennings was the first African American to receive
A patent in 1821 which was for a dry cleaning process.
He used the money earned from his patent to purchase
Relatives out of slavery and support abolitionist causes.
4) madam c.j. walker (1867-1919) daughter of a former slave
Who suffered hair loss in her twenties and created hair care
Products , and allowed her to open a factory and school to
Train hundreds of black women to be economically self sufficient
And become one of the first female millionaires in U.S. history.
There is still something that burns in my heart
And when I think of it -it tears me apart
Of all the people in this great nation
That have been put to the ground
There lies one race that still lives
Way below the poverty line and
The government says there doing fine.
The “AMERICAN INDIAN” who had
Most all treaties broken and of this the
Government hasn’t spoken.
Many families of five and more
Living in a shack without a door
Just a blanket to stop the wind
To me this is a crying sin.
The Indian charities having to buy
fifty five gallon drums for water
And many of them on “back order”.
I know that I started writing this poem for the blacks
But on the Indian nations - I can’t turn my back.
We have to help one another, for we’re all
Sister and brother.
GOD BLESS US ALL

One would think that the feeling of being a slave would create understanding
One would think that racism would die off and cease to overtake our surrounding
Equality has become but a faint memory buried with a man Africa once so greatly looked up to
Labels still floating around, separation amongst people. All subject to the race or ethnic group they belong to
Don’t you think there was a little furry passed with a law?
Just a little vengeance kneaded in, tables turned, no longer holding the short end of the straw?
So arose the system with a pretty name “Affirmative action”.
5-1 the number of bullets in the gun gradually making a subtraction
Acquiring our positions based on our skin colour instead of based upon or level of education
Supressing the “Suppressors” with lethal repercussions and lack of evaluation
So carry on placing the one colour above the other, turning us against each other until the streets run red with anarchy
Then hypocritically teach your kids about equality, living one foot in and one foot out of controversy.
One would think we as a nation would learn from a neighbouring sunken country. Stay united and grow far beyond expectation
One can only hope for these lines to be erased, for skin colour, gender and religion factors to be cancelled out and do away with exaggeration
The world is the way it is and shall remain as such, the universe will be the way it should be keeping the balance as top priority
So even if I cannot change the world. With my words I keep spreading the love! One of the minority.
Certain diseases seem to be more prevalent in some races than others
So with no other issues in your family health care history
You still may have risk factors for several diseases
Just by belonging to a particular ethnic group
African Americans
Have an increased risk for diabetes
Insulin resistance
Have the highest heart-disease risk for high blood pressure
Asian American
Have an increase risk for osteoporosis (especially women)
Caucasians
Have an increase risk of osteoporosis (especially women)
Litinos
Have an increase risk for diabetes
Insulin resistance
Are over 6x more likely to develop kidney disease if diabetic
Native Americans
Have an increase risk for diabetes
Insulin resistance
6x more likely to develop kidney disease if diabetic

Only at the top of “Mapo” Hill
Lies the old but tattered roofs
Of the ancient city of Ibadan
"Ajorosun" the second largest in Africa
Archaic modern city with which we measure
The political tempo and potentio-meter
Of the most populous black nation in the world
The city of those who only chew “Oro”
And converse with the mat for the dinner
The city of those who ride and rid people
Their properties with horses and impunity
Those who refuse to know “Laipo”
Stand not to know the city called Ibadan
The city of the real warriors and conquerors

Inside a Lagos bus on my way to Ibadan
From Lagos.The inspiration came when
The vehicle (Sango-Molete) got to Bere,
Behold I saw Ibadan and the tattered roofs.
NB-"Ajorosun" is a Yoruba word from an Ethnic group in Nigeria.It is used as
praise poetry for the Ibadan people of Nigeria.

When I hear "a country of immigrants" I wince in pain.
Because one ethnic group traveled here in chains.
They didn't walk across the border seeking a better life.
They were snatched from bed, men, children, and wives.
Once they got to America they were sold off like beef.
A father to North Carolina, wife and kids to Mississippi.
Forced to work like a mule and bred with a new family.
Whipped, branded, and forced to practice Christianity.
Imagine the original slaves who were not yet programmed.
The trauma they suffered being snatched from their land.
On that initial voyage the slavers learned on-the-fly.
And, all subsequent trips, had it down to a science.
Anything after that, is "dotting" the "I's" of progress.
Including Tubman, Douglas, King, and Malcolm X.
I feel a kinship with the souls who made the first trip.
To let their story be told by someone knowing of it.
We've been exposed to too much discrimination
Simply because we are Black
Our African heritage appears to be
Like a target on our backs
Some cops believe that over us
They had the power of death and life
But we as a people we put our faith and trust
In our Lord Jesus the Christ
Brutality and hatred towards black people
Is again on the rise
What has caused this to happen?
No need to wonder why
We've been through more, have endured more
Than any other ethnic group in history
But as children of the Most High God
We keep rising above the misery
For the Lord is on our side
That we truly believe
As we've somehow always gotten over
And the victory we have received
We faced down Congress
And got our civil rights
We stood up to the Supreme Court
Until they saw the light
We survived Jim Crow laws, black codes
And the lynchings
We weathered the cross burnings and massacres
Never failing nor flinching
The Lord was on our through during the Middle Passage
Across that great blue sea
The Lord was on our side
Through over 400 years of slavery
But as a people we need to realize
And come to comprehend
That we have economic power
Which can best serve us in the end
We need to stop spending
Just because we can
And start saving
To purchase property and land
The Lord is on our side
As we survived and been saved
God's gotten us through some stuff
That would've put others in their graves
Yet we don't look like all that we've been through
For we've been delivered, revived and renewed
The Lord has been on our side
Since day one
For He loved us so much
He sent His only begotten Son
THE LORD IS ON OUR SIDE
*****Freedom for Cubans!*****
Under Communism's cold rule~
My heart knows them well!
As their teacher, they showed respect!
The most outanding ethnic group,
Whoever put me on the front page of the
Cuban newspaper.
To keep me in their Andersonville area school.
They were so very outraged,
“MAESTRA ROMiOS,” the large block print said.
I was never so greatly honored.
A protest was planned at the Chicago Board of Education!
They did not want to lose me!
They were successful!
Cubanos, my friends forever.!
I will not let our government ever prevent
You wonderful people, the opportunity to
live here.
You are part of the American Dream!
Dedicated to the Cuban Commumity in Chicago.
“I will do what it takes to have you getting here.
Will not stand for you being forced to live under
oppression by our government..” PR
