  In Good Time... - Abimbola T. Alabi

  Aug 28, 20261 minS3

  In Good Time... By Abimbola T. Alabi Life can seem an endless maze, The twists and turns, lulls and delays, But things always fall into place... In good time. Friends will sometimes go away. Some may disappoint or others betray, But new ones will come to stay... In good time. The hurt of getting something wrong, And the lesson it often brings along Are there, you see, to make you strong... In good time. Kindness freely given away, Unnoticed now, will somehow find its way Back to you and come to stay... In good time. Efforts seem not to pay to plan? Forge on friend, doing the best you can. Fortune will find the deserving man... In good time. Life can be tough, there's no doubt, But hope is the thing we can't do without. Right things with joy will come about... In good time.

  Brown Girl Dreaming - Jacqueline Woodson

  Aug 21, 20262 minS3

  Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson Who is this brown girl dreaming, my teacher wants to know. Staring out the window so. Head in hands and eyes – gone from here. Where are you, Dear? Come back to the classroom, my pretty brown girl I fear you’re halfway around the world. Where is that mind of yours now? Outside the winter stabs through the air sneaks past the classroom windowpane and there beneath a truck a frozen bird being sniffed by a stray cat, I don’t yet know the word ‘disdain’ But in this moment, the world feels far away I dream of stepping out into it one day to rest my feet in unfamiliar sand, to touch the hand of a boy or girl on the other side – where it’s nighttime now, or summer there. And maybe return to this place, a different girl with just a trace of who I used to be echoing somewhere nearby to me and as the teacher goes on and on her words are suddenly becoming a poem that I may sing on an orange afternoon inside a room where people will know my name.

  Ecclesiastes 6 - The Futility of Life, New International Version

  Aug 21, 20262 minS3

  Ecclesiastes 6 The Futility of Life, New International Version 6 I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind: 2 God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil. 3 A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he. 4 It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded. 5 Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man— 6 even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place? 7 Everyone’s toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied. 8 What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others? 9 Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 10 Whatever exists has already been named, and what humanity is has been known; no one can contend with someone who is stronger. 11 The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone? 12 For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?

  The Equalizer (Poem for my Favorite Pop)

  Aug 14, 20263 minS3

  The Equalizer My Dad and I talk most Sundays since I’m far away. He’s worried about me. I say, Dad, I’m all right, God keeps me safe. We talk about various subjects including men, well, not anymore since I’m divorced. My Dad gives good advice. He always talks about his accidents, since he came close to death repeatedly. He wants to write a book too, Called, The life of an Angel. He’s one of thirteen siblings, Black and Puerto Rican. It’s funny watching my parents talk. They have stories of how they met and when my dad pulled out a machete on two men, and when the man who liked my mom put voodoo on him. He describes hanging from a ledge in the rain. My mom thought he was insane, but I believe him. You should see his face when he describes it. Their stories are funny; they remind me of a 70s movie. He helped me financially when I was separated and encouraged me to move on. He’s the reason why I called it quits, along with Trent Shelton and Tony Gaskins. He calls after he watches the show 60 Minutes, then goes to sleep. I appreciate my dad. I’m glad he checks on me and supports my dreams. It’s good to talk to a man like I said in the poem, Mr. Belvedere. Thanks Dad!
