March 4, 1983 The Voice Page 7 iiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiiiin Variety Page iiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin Martin Luther King By Frank Withrow Human rights was his thing His name was Dr. Martin Luther King. He fought for pride and dignity And also to be free. From the small towns in the South To the streets of Washington, DC. He had a dream just before he died That we would all be brothers and work side by side. He was a gentle man who had a heart and soul And everybody knew that freedom was his goal. Dr. Martin Luther King deserves your show of hands Because he gave his life for the rights of man. In world history, his name should be inshrined As the freedom fighter whose work was so divine. When I Was One-And-T wenty A.E. Housman “When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, “Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free.” But I was one-and-twenty. No use to talk to me. When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, “The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; ‘Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue.” And I am two-and-twenty. And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true. Love Poem By Imogunia Alakoye I'm not gonna give you what you want, baby. Not any of the things you anticipate in hours of solitude, in gray depression, or indigo blues. You can't get rid of me that easy. I'm not gonna play the fool promised by your previous experiences. Or fulfill the prophecies of your girlfriends or your momma. 1 ain't going no place else. You can't buy me off, or scare me off or chase me off with shotgunned disregard. You can fight and curse, kick and scream or cry I'm here to stay. and when you understand that, when you stop fighting, when you take a risk, a chance, a gamble When you go down for the third time in the sea of my love When you are ready for me I will be here. If Only... By Valery Frazier If only I had been the first As I always wished to be... Then there would be no reason For my doubts of you and me... If only you had reached out for me And told me how you felt... Then I would have considered your problems I know. I could have dealt... If only we could concentrate On lives we've chosen to lead... And think only of the necessary Throw away, what we don't need... Sunshine By Dee Jaye Your love makes my world bright Just like a sun that shines at night Always enlightening this heart of mine In the darkest hour, I have sunshine. Being with you makes my world bright Like the sun you have an everlasting light Always enlightening this heart of mine In this troubled world, you spread your sunshine. Loving you puts my heart on wings Romantically zapping my heart strings You are always enlightening this heart of mine To many of my days you have brought sunshine. luuuimiuiumuiuitmiiiuuKtmiiuim The History Of Valentine's Day LOVE? By Genevieve M. Jones “Love is an understanding shared by two.” Cheryl M. Brown “Love is a fond feeling of intimacy you have for someone.” Orrin Lofton “Love is caring and sharing.” Melvin Parks “Love is nice when you're sharing it with someone.” Margie Council “Love is having feelings for one another.” Leon Bruton “Love is the greatest gift two or more people can share.” Leroy Raine, Jr. “Love is having very special feelings among one another.” Gretchelyn Woods “Love is happiness and joy.” Michael Robinson “Love is sharing and caring.” Antonio Watson “Love is a feeling between two people who really ned each other.” Terry Williams “Love is totally understanding a person, and if not totally, you're willing to learn.” Larry Hilton “Love is the cocaine of life. A good dose will keep you feeling high and too much of it can bring you down.” Eric D. Majette “Love is ever-lasting, soulful-lasting me.” SGA Pres. Jerry Beatty “Love is an itching of the heart that leads into a man' pocket and helps him spend his money.” Marion Crowe “Love is mathematically speaking, 1 + 1=3.” Kenneth McNeill “Love is a sincere feeling that two people express to one another in a deep and emotional way.” Jeffrey Cooper “Love is trust, understanding and sharing. But, most importantly, love is sacrificing your time and forgetting your problems to be there for that special person because you know that he/she will be ready to make the same sacrifice for you.” Angela Johnson “Love is a unity of special feelings that can be used as a tool to keep two individuals together.” Genevieve M. Jones “Love is when a certain person sends me back my clothes.” Anonymous “Love is not being with anyone cheap.” Anonymous “Love is egocentric. It will take you to the highest height and allow you to fall without a second thought.” Editor “Voice,” Emanuel Vaughn “Having feelings after love is love; not having feeUngs is infactuation.” Cheryl Griffin “Love is a charismatic feeling I have for someone.” Jimmy Gibbs By Angela Johnson On the 14th of February many lovers celebrate Valentine's Day with an exchange of gifts, cards, and kisses. For years this has been a tradition in America. Perhaps, many have wondered where the tradition began and why. Valentine's Day began as a Christian festival commemorating the Martyrdom of St. Valentine, a saint that nothing much is known about except that he was married under the persecution of Emperor Claudius II (ruled 268-270). Valentine's Day was celebrated as early as the 7th Century, but by the 14th Century its religious significant was overshadowed by the non-religious customs that are still associated with it today. The acceptance of St. Valentine as the patron saint of lovers may have been accidental. One of several theories for this is the medieval European belief that birds began to mate on February 14th. Thi' notion tends to suggest that people should also choose lovers and exchange gifts during a time that nature has chosen for her gentle feathered creatures. After the postal system had been established, the practice of mailing homemade messages, called valentines, became common. These messages were usually in verse and tender in nature, but occasionally comic or even coarse. After World War I, in the United States, at least, the greeting card industry annually printed millions of valentines. **Sign Time By Ayesha JUiada Grice (Essence) Aquarius: (January 20-February 17) You find many ways to increase your prosperity this year, Aquarius.

Aries: (March 20-ApriI 18) Aries, the first sign in the zodiac, is the one that says “I am.” You folks born under this courageous fire sign can The Ring By Dee Jaye Our world ended and fell apart I threw the ring away It sank just like my empty heart In the sea where it shall stay. I took the short walk to the sea's bank And pulled the ring off my finger Threw it in the water and watched as it sank There was no other reason to linger. The day that you walked out on me Gave me an empty feeling That's why I ran out to the sea And threw away the ring. The ring had lost its real shine Our love was finished, too ALthough the ring was mine I didn't want it without you. sometimes be very self-involved. Actually, Aries, your greatest power is unleashed when you turn your energy outward instead of inward. Aries is the sign ruled by Mars, planet of energy; Mars' influence gives you the. stamina to overcome obstacles. That quality will come in handy now.
