We Have The Dance

We Have The Dance

As a people, we have the dance.

Way back in the Motherland, we always had the dance.

Through times of joy, sadness, to heal and rites of passage,

We always have the dance.

Through times of enslavement, we still have the dance.

Even when they tried to take it away, we danced through the shade.

From the jook joints to the Migration, we have the dance.

Even when it was time to pay the rent, we had to dance.

Through Depression and worldwide war, we have the dance. 

In the dance studios and sock hops, we have the dance.

On television and through civil unrest, we have the dance.

Live and in color!

We can get smooth and we can get rough.

Live and in color and integrated!

Through the Soul Train days, and the disco nights,

We have the dance.

With BET, MTV, and VH1 we have the dance.

Through social media, we have the ...

We Invented Rock and Roll

From the roots of the gospel,

Grew into some blues in the country.

That has some jump and rhythm of course.

Add that jazz!

Don’t forget that boogie woogie!

People tend to forget that

A “king’s” hit came from a “big mama.”

A church lady give “an architect”

The building blocks to build,

A music that can

Go hard

Get heavy.

Be glam,

Be soft,

Be electric.

Played in a garage,

And have folks,

Rockin’ and Rollin’

All over the world.

Nickel and A Pigfoot

Whether it is a big deal or a little deal,

Simple or complicated,

Conflict can really explode.

Somebody can say the wrong thing,

Even a golden apple started a whole war, once.

No matter what can cause “The Final Straw,”

Someone can end up dead.

It can be something as simple

As a nickel and a pigfoot.

Pyramid of the Queens

A traveler was wandering the desert in Egypt when a mysterious, bird flew at the traveler and wanted the traveler to follow it. They arrived at a golden pyramid and went inside. Even though it was dark inside, the bird led the way. When they came to a very large room in the pyramid, the bird turned into a golden statue that illuminated the room and landed on the center of the room. The floor had of ebony and gold titles that also illuminated the room. The walls of blues, red and green represent the four classical elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. What amazed the traveler the most was that on the rest of the ivory colored walls were four queens. The queens' pictures were in hieroglyphics of their pictures. The traveler noticed the strangest thing: The queens look just like her.

Seasons

Fall

Fall in love with the colorful falling leaves,

Have a sip of hot cider create by the delicious red apples

From the same trees that are filled with syrup of maple.

The smell of Thanksgiving dinner in Canada and the USA.

Winter

When the first sign of season snow comes along, it can look like a vision a crystal white wonderland all kinds of delights.

Ice skaters, skiers, and other winter enthusiasts take advantage of the season for a thrill.

The festivals of many delights of the season bring people together.

Spring

Spring into action as the animals come out of hibernation,

Smell the fragrance of nature’s perfume we know as flowers.

Have fun and enjoy in the season’s events.

Summer

Sums up what it is all about. Diving into a body of water and sta...

Art Is

A word that is described as,

“Fine as wine, yet hard to define.”

A word that lets you go anywhere to you want to in your imagination

A word that lets you know that anything is possible and allows you to dream.

The word let’s you break all rules, molds, conformities and conventions.           

Do whatever it is that you want to do.

Take something someone else already did or whatever inspires you and make it yours.

Like a cover to a song.

 It is where you are the one in control.

What I’m talkin...
