To my Posterity


Rage burning in the souls of my ancestors. Their sprits wandering around the stake.... "Who will avenge me? Who will tell my story?" In the night i'd watch my children tremble in their sleep, terrified of the night horrors; Rebel, Fight, Defeat. When will they have a good night sleep? When will they gain a voice to speak? Will my posterity grow up in a world without equality? Will my name be the only thing left of me? I may die tomorrow but my dreams will never die; It will always remain, as long as my people will fight, as long as my people will try....

It wasn't until about a year ago when I realized I've had a love for poetry since elementary school and my love for poetry and specifically spoken word led to my interest in majoring in communications. My interest in majoring in communications along with falling in love with my high school american government class led to me participating in a state mock trial at my state capital building. So when I graduate i'll be majoring in communications and minoring in political science. C/O 2014! Woo! Not too long now.
