Dancing With Her Ghost
Finding Your Magic
Creating the perfect disguise
With magic made on the top shelf
fueling fire behind my eyes
when you're lost finding yourself
*
Better save your place in line
you won’t find you in somebody else
It’s funny how true colors shine
in secrecy and it’s darkness
*
Loyalties turn love to hate
Running with madnesses wolf pack
Yellow roses left, mark the grave
For things you know you can’t get back
*
The things believed true love would save
the scarlet flags have all turned to black
Noting the difference in what remains
as she and her ghost learn to dance
*
nothing ever stays the same

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Published on the 18th of May, 1953, ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’ became the book that James Baldwin is probably most famous for. Including the very real impacts of violence upon the African American community during a time of turbulence for Civil Rights, James Baldwin became an absolute superstar not just of his race, but of the oppressed in every situation, in every country, all over the world. From Palestine to the Civil Rights Movement, from the LGBTQA+ to Muslim Migrants from war-torn countries, James Baldwin is the voice of the oppressed not just through the way he presents the division, but the way he presents a reality that the oppressors could not possibly be aware of. A reality in which every day is a fight to survive. What makes this even more real is that this is a semi-autobiographical novel. In my personal opinion, James Baldwin was the most articulate man in history.
