As if it were a moment of clarity, I saw the real world.
As if it were a Eureka moment, I saw my reality.
As if it were a divine vision, I saw the ultimate choice.
It came as a quake
It came as a thunderous storm
It came as a viscous tiger
The thorned tongue told me where I should go.
The isolation gave me the power.
The anger gave me persistence.
The pain gave me purpose.
Light show the darkness
Light purifies ignorance
Light shows the way
Dark illuminates the boundaries
Dark gives the lesson
Dark opens exploration
Keep your way
Keep your balance
Keep your faith
If you fall, get up
If you fade, shine again
If you fail, try again
Strive for it all and get all that is available
Strive for greatness and get it
Strive for peace and tranquility is attained.
The truth is Yours.

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.
