Inherited wisdom.

Coming up in the fifties and having my life sustained up onto this current moment through the grace of God. I can remember my parents doing the times of my growing up some how knowing just about every thing I had done are was doing and who I was doing it with, and in my mind I had believed myself to be smarter then them, but in all reality I was dumb as those who now have those same thoughts. I was spared from most of the traps that awaited me because of that wisdom they possessed and today I benefit from by way of inheritance through being obedient in child hood, yes; I like they back then; know a great deal of what my kids and grand kids are into and who with.

Why don't you know me.

Before I introduce myself let me give you a little description of my character make up; I am into doing what I perceive to be whats right by way of my adhering to moral way of living, I refuse to go after or hold on to people/thing which artificially sustains me in so call happiest or and success. I am in this today's time shunt and disdain by a great many, young and old. I also appear to be boarded on extinct and not needed.What sadden me most is that; my being the only true way to most goals and productive desire are instead being travel by way of winding road of deception... Oh! by the way my name is common sense.

From the cage are the grave. (to late for me now,doesn't have to be for YOU!).

Man I never knew these people felt so much love for me, I can remember walking are running pass them lots of times and they never as much looked my way. I can,t believe these people showed up just so they can be seen sporting their attire and material possessions. Hopefully my friends and associates, some who are reason for my being in this state (along with my choices) would use this moment to guide them on to a path that offers productive living and long life. I wish I could have understood then what I know now, and that is; my parent/parents and grandparents way of disciplining me was for that of my own good, motivated out of their love for me. (To late for me now, doesn't have to be for YOU!).

"All of us are responsible for choices we make and some of us for choices we allow others to make that are under our power of authority in which all bare consequences"

Where is the path I'm to follow?

Why have you not asked me whats the problem, but you spend these enormous sums of money on people who cares nothing about me or my community, who can never find the answer concerning my plot! OK, here a synopsis; When the male figure who's responsible for my being here can't be found and my female passageway is out clubbing trying to recapture what should have been history when I came on the scene, political leaders creating laws and making deals (cutting funds for education and building incarceration structures) for my demise, clergy persons deceiving those that look to them for spiritual guidance. When you fix these things then you'll be able to fix me.

Returning them to the system.

A slave one day was given twenty four hours of freedom to do and enjoy in anyway he/she wanted to. Twenty three hours passed and the slave master pulls up in this old beat up horse driven wagon requesting he/she get in to return back to the system, there then was this loud scream No,no, noooo!!!! I have one more hour!!!!

Parent/adult when your child or any youngster request three hours of your time to talk to you about their concerns of today's occurrences and you in the second hour are called to your electrical games and or gossip, going out in the streets (clubs) the next thing you will hear or should think; , No,no,noooo!!!!!

Holding your ground keeps one from being buried in it.

It has reach the scale of ultimate madness, that is ; parent/guardian are person of authority not taking their places or equipped to curve this culture of youth violence. When we continue to allow bad behavior and disrespect thats going on in our homes by those we are responsible for rearing in the right and moral way, and the blame could and should be laid at some of our feet. Those of us, and we know who we are, we love to party, reality TV, give insane time to being on our electric gadgets involved in games and conversation which has no attachment with reality nor the enhancing of one's or their families lives, Being away from the home in the times of our kids ages when the widow for teaching and controlling are at that moment. We have better as adults learn to take our places are become use to seeing ,,where our kids once was, has become empty spaces. It has to be some sort of bomb been dropped over this City/State which effect some of our brains which causes us to not do what needs to be done when it comes to combating this so visual problem. It is my sincere prayer that God convicts our conscience to the level that even in our so call fun time that it causes us so much discomfort that we are force to get into our places of purpose or become dam right miserable. (How many more must die before us as mentors began to live as we are purpose)!

Which highway am I on?

Marriage/relationship finds it's base for existence on one of two highways; love and or desire, which causes; One the reason for traveling this path. Highways are made out of different structural base, reason being; for the support of potential or current travelers and the wear and tear which comes from time and the elements. Even after a chosen and travel being done on a certain highway; time allows you to feel the effects of what proves to be smooth or rough travel toward a desired destination; If travel after the fist two miles has proven to be rocky and so rough it causes the great car you got on the road in to shake uncontrollable, and with no evidential road signs passed or ahead for reaching your projected destination; evidently you're on the wrong highway.

Accountability

My talking to some what's suppose to be adults had me questioning there authenticity, reason being; there response to my question concerning the young, was; there's nothing that can be done with some of today's youth because they have their on way of thinking. When one realize he or she is the controlling factor in their place of domain; certain things and or sayings want be able to take root for growing with out their approval or permission, they call it parenting, and as for this not being able to get in a child's personal business (what rock is that written on). An Eagle is the strongest and highest flying bird on the planet, yet hunger and need for shelter in a bad storm will bring it down to earth with the rest of the fowl with wings.

I pity for these adults who have not the knowledge or courage for seeding hope.

Hardly a day goes by with out us hearing about a tragedy which has befallen a love one are a member of society.

A time of bonderies and injustices

How in such a short time there are some of the same who promoted an unjust system to govern and control others, and now themselves feel wronged by being monitor and govern by a some what similar system, put in place for their protection against sick minds as of those perpetrators of an earlier time.

Whites only!

No colored!

Colored to the back!

Hey boy!

Profiling has become a hated word, when at one time it was a lawful and systematic way for setting boundaries and controlling a certain cultrial sector (race of people).

My giant.

The love and care of a protecting giant can not be matched. When most people talk about the giants in their lives; there are those that hurriedly associate it as being the same as a child's imagination, OK; I'll buy that. At the beginning of my existence my giant protected me from all potential harm that had me in it's sight's and targeted for destruction. I can remember seeing my giant face hardships and lacking food while instead feeding me and my four siblings. My giant being strong and wise along with being gentle also, proven by; when been hug and carried there were never any marks are bruises, my giant voice was as rivers of strong but gentle waves, and the presence of my giant caused some to wonder how was it possible to exist in such small quarters and among so many adversaries and not be beaten down or deviate from protecting me and my siblings. My giant hands and heart extended far beyond what seem to be humanly possible, and my giant has never allowed it's strength and sometimes weakness to interfere or stop what was needed to be done for me and family, friends. My giant could and would stand against systems cultivated for the controlling and destroying of giants and what prove to be dear to them.Whats most rewarding and of great appreciation for me is how my giant use to and still do, talk with me concerning source from which originated and sustains it's strength. I pray that there are others with a giant like mine. By the way; my giant is four feet two inches in height and her name is mom!

Hi! got time for a little conversation.

OK my friend,family let talk! Today's way of doing and reasoning concerning certain life style and communicating can be some what puzzling. Most say that reason being; there is a need for them to experience certain situations for the acquiring of experience, that can be true up unto a certain point (boundaries). One can also gain knowledge for experience by listening to wise and experienced pre-travelers. When a male/female perceive themselves to be an island and is living in a vast Country or Nation,, life's so many different cultural make ups will prove to be quite difficult for one to be able to co-exist and or understand. What gain could there be for one who claims to see clearly, to throw sand into a rotating fan while standing two inches away; similar effects can result in one's refusal to the advice of wise counsel that is standing before them! are you still there? just checking. Gives you something to think about huh!!

In pursuit of a dream.

November, 23-2010


Time: 12:32 am


Location: Natz steamboat pilot house river front.








After reading about Tyler Perry interview with Oprah W in a Oprah magazine given to me by my wife,It caused me to reflect back on my life's journey back unto when I was about maybe six years old or younger and up to now. I could remember a happening back then of me cleaning weeds out of this very wise and elderly lady 's garden who we use to call Ma'many, she on that day came out onto the porch, look down at me with this amazing glow and smile and said to me God has something great for you to do, I was at that moment puzzled and all the way up into adult hood concerning that statement. Growing up in the 50's as I did most people would associate with being in poverty, that being as I can remember; Living in a two room rented apartment with no running water or bath facility inside, kerosene stove and having to heat water to bath in what was call a number three tub, which two adults an four siblings shared for bathing. My father help raise us along with my mother by hustling shooting dice and selling corn liquor, while my mother clean and iron for well off white folks. Even in that trying time of my youth my parents channeled us through the madness being generated by way of prejudices, which made it all most impossible for people of color (black) to expect or hope for any of the now possibilities tangible to success. I and my siblings attended school with the bare necessities. Simple thing as going to watch a parade was a sixty percent chance of getting beaten up by racists white folk and policeman, being chased by police dogs. With the strength given to me by two God serving parents I was able to finish high school,welding school and some college and safe journey through those times into adult hood which carried and still today it's challenges, that being; blocked away from certain opportunities on jobs (fair wages and promotions) while whites were not. I've always love working with the youth in enhancing their lives for productive living. I truly believe that my time spent around my cousin Eva Dykes while being a kid and watching the way she would use recreation and hands on with the other kids in the community played a great part in where my life's passion now is. I remember in the early seventy's a co-work approach me and asked would I have a problem working with white kids in recreational basket ball, my response was; of course not! he didn't tell me how racists the people in that community was though, lol! It took me two years to get black and whites to be able to play together in the same gym (boys and girls). I got married at twenty five years old , which lasted for ten years. I started coaching boxing/fitness and moral and educational awareness in the inner city in the early eighties up until the present time, I find myself still today waiting on the blessing of having my own boxing/fitness gym for the providing the kids and young adults an environment of safety , love, care while they pursue their dreams and or enjoy the moment while journey on their path to a predestine destiny. I am seventeen years married to my lovely wife Betty B. Joseph ,blessed with four kids and grand kids, we own a nice home (and the bathroom and running water is now inside). Because of the words of that elderly lady and Tyler perry's story I've been strengthen and will continue reaching for my dream/desire of owning my on gym. Thanks!to the both of you for the push! love! God Bless!!

In my search into the current path of society's glories this is what I found; I found women and young girls entrapped in devices and situations preconceived for their demise by way of their desires some good, some bad, but none deserving of the betrayal and horrors which attained rooting by way of these, I found men taking advantage and deceiving females through and by way of their (women) ability to express and give themselves over in the power of genuine affection, I found greed in-place of need, and I found Leaders feeding off of those they deceitfully betray, I found that, which is the only way to attack and destroy certain miseries and hardship, that being; educational facilities, Teachers, being under budgeted and numerous funding being generated for correctional personnel and structures which incarcerates, I found standing room crowds only at these so many young funerals, and numbers at the P T A'S which allows echos in the places of venue, I found parent/parents given over to games and non-productive conversations while kid/kids are allowed to roam any and every where UN-supervised, I found that there are many young and old that refuses to be held by or under any means of boundary (religion are government). Most sadly I found, many who have not the power are the understanding of what true Divine love really is.

Place of purpose!

I'm often asked why I do what I do when it comes to my work with the youth and young adults in boxing? My honest reason as for I know it to be, is purpose, reason stated; I really don't and haven in years the desire to be involved in professional boxing. Some of the kids I deal with are very talented in this field and have aspiration on becoming world champions, I willfully accept this journey as to guide them through what I know can be very trying and disheartening travel, because of the so many evils awaiting those who have no ideal of how money and fame can cause some to become. I haven any desire to be noted as this great boxing/famous coach, and my soul reason for my now involvement in the pro ranks are because the love I have ( that is as being a father figure) for a current and extremely talented female young boxer who has the desire of becoming a world champion.

Lock out.

After pulling up in my SUV across from a area an space that only six weeks ago I was supervising an instructing young children in fitness/boxing and educational awareness, which now has a chain and pad lock denying us entrance, Five year old Farrell calling out my name and asking me to open the gate so him and all the others who are now finding their place for playing, is in the city street. The area and empty lot has been rented out for parking doing the time as we had liberty for it's usage, the bad thing about that is; there are no cars in it. After getting ready to leave from the area, looking through my rear view mirror and noticing this five year old along side of her bike laying on the ground and her staring at me with her eyes radiating the wonder of why is this. I have for years fought against exactly what is now happening to these and so many other inner city kids; being locked out.

Take your proper place.

We who truly love our kids need to get off of this deceptive wagon of just trying to be their friend instead of their parent, and stand in our place of authority (which encases the power of both; parent and friend) and allows us to do and say what's necessary for their structuring, even when it may cause hurting their feeling for ten minutes (which can prevent hurting for ten years)! It is entirely impossible for there to be a war won where there is not a General/Generals leading soldiers that face war.

No excuse for giving up/quiting.

I share this short glance of my life's traveled path of past and cur'rent-ness with those of you who are on the verge of giving up/quiting for what ever reason. Been raised in the early fifties and haven to deal with the injustices targeted toward African Americans (black people) and on occasion some Caucasians ( white people). while growing up and living in a two bed room rented apartment with out bath room and running water inside (toilet and sink), shared with two Christan parents, four siblings. We went to school with the bare necessities. I can remember as if it were today my mom being told after her paying the fare; to bring that N word (Nigger) to the back of the bus. when the African American kids (black) would try to go and see parades on Canal St., we were met by very racist policeman that at times would let their dogs chase us, there was forceful denial for enrollment in certain public schools because of one's cultural back ground (skin color). I've been working since a early age up unto current time and have experience race discrimination in wage on jobs even while performing the same duties as my counter partners (Caucasians/whites). I was also fired from a job I gave twenty plus years of sweat and loyalty to by a racist Foreman and a young think alike (young white supervisor). Even after my experiencing those difficulties (and some still today!) I still manage to finish high school, welding school and some college. I've been blessed to meet and shake hands with two United States Presidents (George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton), I was also privileged to visit on Air Force One (no I didn't not steal the silver) lol!! I am currently employed, I'm also a professional /amateur boxing coach. God has blessed me with a great wife and family (grand kids, dog and cat)lol!! Yes, by the way; We own our house and the bath room and running water is now inside. So I say to you; there is no excuse for giving up/quiting. God Bless!!

I'ts no longer a village.

As a child of the fifties and been raised with life's moral attachments for respect toward others and recognition for certain boundaries, not to say I've not experienced hardship, prejudices and offers for disobedience. Just recently my (mind eyes) were open up to why some young adults so strongly support their reason for not sometimes accepting the advice of my generation. Today's Evils are so encased in the lies of deception through ignorance given birth through the absent of the above mention, which today is seemly of non existence and that is not to say all is lost,, but the painful reality is that we are in a time where "its no longer a village that raises a child".

Waiting to be unwraped

There once was this beautiful prize molded out of love, care and concern. This prize was told by it's maker it has completed it's time of being molded into something very special and worthy of being given to one who could appreciate it's magnificence. It was wrapped in this durable gift box and place on the shelf to await it's purchaser. On the other side of town/state, a very well morally raised man had a dream about this very special and magnificent gift. For years he would purchase what he thought to be this special gift only to find out upon opening it, it wasn't. He knew deep down in his soul this desire was God based and he refused to give in to not being able to find it. One day while in this little shop he notice a beautifully wrapped gift box covered with dust, he asked the owner why was this? He reply: because it remand in it's place on that special shelf for years; son; there is a magnificent gift inside of the box and it has no dust on it.

A young man who had visited his grandfather in this small and peaceful town, he couldn't help from noticing pictures of this great big old oak tree displayed in certain areas of the house. His grandfather noticing his curiosity said, son; let me tell you a story about two brothers who were given one seed a piece and an acre of land, along with instruction to bury them deep and fence off the area from potential invasive soil ( dirt ). Years passed and they both took growth. But one of the brothers disobeyed instruction for depth and fencing, more years passed by along with bad weather which tested the strength of the trees, the pictures you now see are of the one cultured in obedience.
