Charlene Hunter-Gault was being forced (caged) into thinking that she wasn’t good enough to her choice of college.

Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric is a collection of poetry and criticism that challenges us as citizens to think about the fixity and ordinariness of racism as experienced by people of color who are often rendered as non-citizen subjects by society today. Many of the poems are structured around the daily forms of racism that many people of color experience.

The irony of those who oppose the killing of people of color is that members of the same public perpetuate many of the racial motivated crimes themselves, and they are the ones that decry the most extreme form of racism, murder.

And never will hurt the lover because he basically promising himself. Real love have respect for each other there is no power control, no game, no craziness just hope and self-respect. While Creeley captures the tense giddiness of loving and being loved, he’s not doing it to celebrate that which can celebrate itself well enough.

Beautiful. That is how I would describe her. Rayah Lou’ren Gibson was the absolute light of my life. She was born on Thursday, August 14th, 2008.

The thought of losing something or someone can be nerve-wracking. One begins to think about how much we love an individual or object. The memories begin to replay on one’s mind, causing fear and sadness because these memories could possibly be gone. The thought and emotion of losing someone does not compare to losing a loved one. It is a pain that cannot be explained, an empty feeling that one must learn to live with.

I heard the passing bells calling out my name I knew I'd never see another day I couldn't swim against the tides of blame I knew there was no other way You better practice your lines You better practice your words I know that real monsters lie Between the light and the shade It doesn't matter what you say or feel When honest men become deranged They'll genuflect to a lie

“Eve! Evaline! Where are you?” Your mother is calling to you, and you are giggling as your chubby little hand is held over your mouth. You glance over to your left and then your right, behind the large willow tree. You are only five, but you know your mother has a smile on her lips. You have never traveled far from her, but when you do, its to play this game with her. Hide and seek. You are always hiding, hoping to be found and swept up into your mother’s arms. It is when you are looking over your left side, that the arms do sweep up and hold you close to her heart. You squeal in delight, arms moving around your mother’s neck and you buried your face into her neck, smelling her honeysuckle and lilac perfume.

Percival tried to think of how he had made her life easier, but he could not come up with anything. All he could offer was his love and promise to care for her always. He hoped that was enough.
