5ronco« Voicc Happy Nc* Year % o o Black Diamond by Yolanda A. Bames As a little girl I was just like coal a little black girl just waiting to grow and become my fondest dream to stand proud as a woman for the world to see As my body..began to change and the pressures of the world began to rearrange me to press me with pressure from each and every angle knew I couldn’t leave the dream couldn’t let it dangle As I felt like stress was about to take me over and my feet I many of times tripped over Things to me seemed down and out then I took a look inside then out and what I saw I couldn’t believe the dream I dreamed I had already achieved This little black girl the little piece of coal Had turned into a black diamond for the whole world to behold. CAN SHE HEAR ME? by Delfrieda Hudson Can she hear me? I But a small voice Leaves her the choice But to hear me cry. She is like a giant that Shouts to be heard. Why she does this is absurd. I have feelings; that’s the fact She can’t see cause she’s blind To her own ways. Her heart won’t let her say Anything kind. Can she hear me, I Pray, Can she hear me cry? HOWmFEEUN’ by Vadrin Colvin I’m not happy, but I’m not sad I’m not angry, nor am I mad I’m just feelin’. I’m not in love, but I’m not horny I’m not very popular, but I’m definitely not corny I’m just feelin’. I’m not high, but I’m not sober I’m not quite under, but I don’t wanna be over I’m just feelin’. I’m not in pain, but I don’t feel good i’m not a man, but I don’t feel like a woman should I’m just feelin’. All my days and all my nights are filled with buckets of strife but I’m not complainin’, nor am I strainin’ I’m just feelin’. ‘lUey Sire Chained; 15im 'tree by Lesli Sample Grosser images I’ve never seen; spoon-fed brains bought and paid for attatched to apathetic zombie-bodies content with squandering in the bargain basement of Academi^ And who holds the spoons? The greatest garbage collectors in the world, who occasionally pull their "Nothing-but-diploma"-ed degrees out of the muck and slime to scrape off whatever the zombies are willing to receive. And I, trying not to be judgemental, mind you, herd the sheep along with my "Paper or plastic?" and ’'Have a nice day!" while thinking of yet another idea for my Master's Thesis. I can byK.M.T. Uhm, hum! I can. ...tell right from wrong; See the stars In my own eyes; Weather the storm. Faremll to a Prophet for Peace by Florence Murdock Many Men have strived for peace Around this earth we know Religious men of every creed and faith Thru the ages fought the foe Indignities were heaped on all No matter how they tried Love of fellow man must come with Unity faith and pride Together these could save the world, of Hunger humility and hate Ere we find it in our hearts, we shall Remain a nation shamed Kindred we must surely be Instead of as we are Negro against white, white against negro ad infinitum God meant it so to be That man should love his fellow man, as He loves you and me Enquiring not your race or creed Enjoying not your life No matter what the circumstance, nor Demanding not the country of your birth SMILE by Elisa Casoumis You want to smile? When I’m alone that’s when it starts. What? That noise ... Those thoughts. Thoughts of what I’ve done. And what I’ve done. How’s my baby? My family? Since I’m miles from them I'll reach out. Thank God for Southern Bell. Why he be trippn? I’ll just wait till he calm down. Then we’ll talk. I hope. Isn’t it sad how so and so had to quit school? I hope she’s handling it. How can I better myself? I guess I’ll buy that book. Why people hate? Why people love? Who am I? And what do I want? What makes him tick? Out of all that noise you want me to do what? I don’t have to give myself a smile. I save those when the noise quiets... The thoughts stop... Whenever you come around. With a brilliant smile she says “Hi”
