"The Woman Speaks Truth"

2002

Afraid. We�re all afraid of something or someone. Even with all of our differences�different things seen�different things done�there is one thing we all have in common�FEAR. Not fear of spiders bees accidents or even death. No the fear we share is one on a much deeper level�we all fear the TRUTH�

So caught up in the scandals�the video games�the stock market�the internet�the daytime TV dramas�who�s whose baby mamas�We let the media tell us what is TRUTH�what is right. With the politicians�athletes�armed services�entertainers telling our children what to fight for.

Then when something goes wrong we blame it on the gangsta rap�violent movies�television shows�video games. What kind of example are we setting for our children? Should our goal be to seek revenge by bombing other countries? Should it be to show our so-called power by meddling in the affairs of other homelands? Or should our goal be to reach�to teach�touch to teach�our own nation�s youth that TRUE change� TRUE progress�TRUE development begins at HOME?

How can we call ourselves leaders when we�re too busy dippin in everyone else�s business�too busy following others. We really need to ban together as sisters and brothers of this could be great nation�encourage the use of imagination and improvisation. Things will not change on their own. If you TRULY seek change�stop complaining and do something to make that change happen for yourself.

But none of ya�ll wanna hear me. Jack Nicholson said you can�t handle the TRUTH. I think he�s right. Nobody seems to be brave enough to open their eyes�their ears�and see what�s really going on. This woman speaks TRUTH. Can anybody hear me? Is anybody listening?
