The bagel shop where everyone knows your name
What an internal game
Good morning text threads
Late night conversations that ascend
Meaty, substantial writing
Learning and discovering
Stumbling while finding
Dark corners you visit from time to time
Feelings you hold under lock and key inside
Your favorite ocean kissing the shore
Christmas tree lights gleaming
On a silent December evening
Late Summer nights pardoning the last bit of sunlight
Throwback songs
Coffee and self-doubt
Car rides to the next adventure
Wondering why he put his conjecture on a pedestal
I could never quite reach the measuring tape
I debate passages in my head
What in all honesty is this?
Panacea teasing my lips
I want so much more than
A fuzzy blanket
Negative self-assessments
Thought I learned that lesson
Everything I fear but cannot hear
What am I doing here?
It’s all love my dear.

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.
