DESCRIPTION
A piece written during a time when I wondered as to why people still consider slavery to be a time of now. Seems that at some point in life, especially now that so many of us are multi-heritaged that sooner or later we will begin to hurt the very ones we are suppose to be helping. Do people really know what its like to have the masses group together and tell you to hate your mother or your father and to have one stand there and do the same. Only later to go home and ask mom...whats for dinner? Or ask dad...If you could use the car that night? So life huh! [150 words]

With Eyes Open Dwight Bullock
With eyes open... One expects, at first notion To have latitude to become More than just a piece of the puzzle To make such a difference To our people With eyes open... One expects, to move through life Not with blindness nor weakness But with clear vision of the decision The destiny of our people... For our people.. With eyes open... One expects to receive more than What one chooses to give from oneself? This too causes deeper the wounds The barriers of true blind despair Of our people... With eyes open... These barriers, which are before us Are not the ones placed by others For these barriers are our own doings Ones, which we have firmly placed Before our people...With eyes open... You may ask..Who am I to question? The heritage of which is spoken My answer would be as the one Which we all speak...for this if for My own people...With eyes open We...as a race of people...must Remove the barriers of despair This can only be done ourselves This we must do ourselves This we must do ourselves For our people...
