TITLE (EDIT)
With Eyes Open
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!

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...
