Baby steps to a desired existence.
It can be real puzzling to look forward and try to tell
what would be acceptable in each society tomorrow, but we can see what it was
like and then we can graph our progress if any? I
do think that the question if asked would be answered differently by the same
people but at different times every time it is asked. One can wonder and maybe
if we stay on the task of wondering what is the difference in the mind set and
the hearts of people today and yesterday when you look at a child who is of
mixed cultures or races. Do we still
look at them as wrong or keep that eerie look in your eye but say the
politically correct thing? Or are they really the wave of the future and widely
accepted and now ingrained into our social net work? Things to ponder I think but I can only say
that we have so much to learn and over come as a human race, yes there are
still the hidden relics of racism and inequality. I am a man may I say more? Should I have to
say more and does it really matter that I am mixed and have as much a deep
white heritage as I do black, I am a fairly intelligent man, I know some Spanish,
French, and some words in other languages as well, I listen to the classical
music, as well as Jazz, Gospel, Country Western, Rockabilly Blues, and some
regular Blues, I know of Rap and the history of it. There are things I am educated in such as
combustion automotive mechanic, electrical and electronic repair; I had
training in health and nutrition and Personal Training, I am for the most part
a Rogue Scholar but have acquired certificates and course completions from a
collage or two. I would like to take
the time to plead with you to open the way for the human race, to put it as we
would say politically correct; for people of all races and mixtures. But once again it will mean that we keep on
taking those baby steps, which we have so long so forgotten to continue taking
after all these years. It is going to
hurt like before but it will be good for all of us I know I am still taking
baby steps in my own life to accept others who are not like me.
Here is one of my gifts a Poem I had Published just lately.
THE OPEN BOOK
By Guy T Woods Sr
A New Years Resolution
Today like any other day I
opened my books of life and started to read,
I read each and every word,
And then I read it all aloud,
then quietly I just read to myself;
I heard the words of great men
sing,
Their echoes, they are
teaching me life's amazing things,
And when I used them on myself
I found it bitter in my heart,
But good to see it made such a
change me!
So now I see the lesson
learned,
To change the man it may seem
at first like a living hell,
The bitterness of the truth
about the real you!
The hard cold fact of just
what you have to do;
But there will be growth I am
sure of that!
In time it will somehow show
then you will be well,
And there is proof take a good
look at me,
I am not the man I use to be,
I have since then grown,
Now what do you see?
I think I have turned into a
prince.
I promise you my friends, this
year I will do better than that,
I will become real love; God
will make sure of that!
So in this year please follow
through,
Complete all the things you
set out to do,
The first step is hard, and
there will be bumps,
Suck it up these things are
good for you.
