The Debate of Purpose



"Trust thyself. Every heart vibrates to that iron string."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


My mom and I went to see the movie "The Great Debators" the day after christmas. Oh my gosh , what a phenomenal movie. Not only was this film prolific from a historical standpoint, but inspiring for the individualistic perspective on a forever quest of intellectual enhancement.

While amusing to some, meloncholy to me,the fact that our people lack the drive not all, but some lack the thirst and hunger to excel and to be challenged and to challenge, to fight, to critique, to assure oursleves as well as others.

We (my fellow poetry fam, friends, poets and writers of the universe) inhabit the ability to apply the most captivating gift that not all have, which is the expressions, the convictions, and the passions with our words, rather written, spoken, or delivered.

These few thoughts are equally important concepts to ponder on:




  • Conquering the mind over the body, not the body over the mind


  • Although we as black americans instilled to be weak minded, one must prevail with an equal balanced determination of mind, body and soul


  • If our minds generate the passion(s) of our soul, words are greater than great.


Until my next post, Peace, Love, Prosperity & Endless Blessings
