A Time for Everything

  There is a time to pray and there is a time to display our aberration of systematic racism.   Racism is institutionalized and the black body like a beast of burden is harnessed to carry the weight.  That body is castrated daily through denial of its humanity, justice, safe water, homes, jobs, physically accosted, […]

Insanity

Belief in superiority and the right to dominate and rule is ludicrous and insane.  We are all one whether we choose to accept it or not.  No one wants to live in a war zone, not knowing when their door might be kicked in, and people with guns blazing put an end to their life.   […]

Ancestors

Our ancestors are always with us.  In these troubling times I believe we are called upon to be aware of the presence of our ancestors and to seek their guidance and strength as we traverse this Universe that is littered with hate, brutality and inequality.  We are never alone.  We stand on the shoulders of […]

Break Free

We have to break free of our defeatist mindset.  We are all born equal with the same rights to all of the Universe’s resources.  Know who you are and that nothing or no one can take your self worth away from you.  What we are made to put up with is the greed and avarice […]

Be Constructive

    If you don’t feel good about yourself don’t lead other people astray who may, like you, be suffering from low self esteem.  If you can’t build refrain  from destroying another person’s health, job, family and means of creating or earning money for their upkeep and that of their families.  We are entitled to […]

Reflect

We have to sit back and reflect on the choices we make, past and present.  Taking stock is an opportunity to see what worked and what were total spoilers.  If we don’t carry out an autopsy of why we do what we do there can’t be a catalyst for change.  To grow is to evolve […]

Subjugation

I am in awe that some people are so insecure that they need to have dominance over the lives of people who don’t have the political or militaristic power.  How can we boast of how powerful we are when we run slipshod over the humanity of our fellow human beings.  We know how deep seated […]

Complacency

When we are content with our status in life we tend to forget that there are other people who are living a life of penury on a daily basis.   How can be boastful of our wealth when all around us there is abject poverty, neglect and injustice.   There should be an equitable distribution […]

Illusion of Time

Time is an illusion, all we have is this present moment.  We can’t project the future or recreate the past.  Now is the only time allotted to us.  Let’s seize the moment and do what we need to for there may not be a tomorrow © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Sane

  If we are sane we would be comprehensive of the fact that we are not superior to anyone, including sentient beings.  We allow our illusion to possess our rational mind, that is why we commit heinous crimes against humanity, this earth and all living entities.  Our conscience should always be our guide.  Peace should […]
