Has President Barack Obama failed His People? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

It’s no secret that more black men have been killed under Barack Obama’s presidency than ever before. The uprising and death of African Americans, both men and women at the hands of police have been prevalent in recent years.

The latest victim of causality is Freddie Gray, a Baltimore, Maryland native who was killed this month while in police custody.

Gray was hauled into a police van with a broken spine but exited with a broken spine and severed voice box. It is widely speculated that Gray had several injuries, of which details are being withheld; due to the current tension and violent rioting going on since he was laid to rest.

But Freddie Gray is just one black man amongst many who have been killed by police.

Last year alone there was the killing of Michael Brown Akai Gurley, Kajieme Powell, Tyree Woodson, Jonathan Ferrelle, Ezelle Ford, John Crawford, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner. The list goes on with many to name but is president Barack Obama really to blame?

Did people of color really expect to receive justice for all and equal share, just because a black man took up residence in the white house?

Poetry is a language spoken or written in the form of expressive art. At the most basic level, poetry is an experience produced by two elements of language: “sense” and “sound.” The “sense” of a word and its meaning.

Our imaginations are often stirred by a poem’s visual presentation. Just like a person, poems can send all kinds of signals with their physical appearance.

A poem is “something made or created”. The poet is the creator and language of the material out of which she/he has created out of his/her work of art.

Is there a poetry creator in you? Have you a work of lyrical gifts that you’d like to share on the air?

Poetry is a gift for some, with an expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm. Poems are collectively a genre of literature, versification and metrical composition, it can be a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.

PoetryAt the most basic level, poetry is an experience produced by two elements of language: “sense” and “sound.” It is to evoke meaning in addition to thought and/or experience.

When I released my analog of poetry last August, it was a collection of  thought provoking experience throughout years.

Join me tonight me tonight at 6:30 pm on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blogtalkradio.com as I kick off National Poetry month with a discussion of poetry and how it evokes thought and meaning. I will share some of my favorite poetry from my book “These Things” The Diary Of A Poet!
