Twilight in the Hood

By Stephanie Duke 

If it be or if it would, I cannot see it for the woods. Should I stay or should I go? I must feel it

through the flow. Twilight in the Hood, I would move it if I could. Time and time again I hear

the haters and the baiters, children; why are you waiters? Don't you hear them calling? They

are calling you from the graves of old yesterday’s, from the time of wailing and sailing across

the sea, from a time of uncertainty and fear, a time when a mother held her child all so close

and dear.

From the time of the chains and shackles; don’t you hear their whispers? “You are free my sons

and daughters, now get back in order. In the order of God’s plan for you and in the order of

your birth and in the order of your worth, stand up and be counted and be proud of where you

come from and of whom you are in God. Don’t let what we went through be all for nothing. For

we struggled to survive with the hope that one day our children would be free and alive.”

Twilight in the Hood, I wish I may I wish I might see the first star tonight. What’s that mister did

I hear you whisper; two dimes and a coke and a nugget and a rope.

Hello everyone out there in Blogville, are you ready for another poem.  Fairy Donna's Release Party is fast approaching.  I hope to see you all there.  It will be a lot of fun.  Here's this week's poem: 

Faith

By Stephanie Duke

Faith is more than a word, you see.  Faith has substance, faith can be.  It can walk, it can talk, and it is always on the move.  It can be small it can be big; it is most certainly not a pig.  It only takes a little to get to the middle.  There is nothing to fear, if you have the faith, so always keep the faith, wherever you are, keep faith in your heart.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.  Heb 11:1

Hi everyone, I hope that all is well with you and yours today. Time for a new poem; it is getting close to the big day, October 17 is the day of my Book release party.

Dying

By Stephanie Duke

From the moment of birth the wheels are set in motion, don't you know that it is our portion? The portion of life the portion of health, you are dying. You're crawling on the floor? Time is passing by you. You lift your head you're walking up instead. You hear your heart beating and wonder what's so fleeting. You are dying, dying from lack of hope, dying for there is no coping. You're wondering what it is all about, the pain the confusion, is it all an illusion? No, my friend. I will tell you the solution, but first let us take a look at what caused this infusion. There once was a man named Adam and a woman named Eve. I tell you. God gave them all that they would ever need, but they took it all for grant and they gave Satan the planet and that is what cause death to make a landing. Now, this is the solution. God sent a revolution; he came to earth to give us all new life. Even though, we may die in the flesh, we have overcome death and in the end we will all live again.

 

It is appointed unto man once to die. Hebrew 9:27

Abused

By Stephanie Duke

Abused and do not even know it. What is it going to take to show it? Time and time again, all caught up in a spin. Abused and do not even know it. Don't you want to let them in; even thou they have sinned? Abused and do not even know it. Mama and daddy have friends, they all sit and grin. Abused and do not even know it. Make a choice, let them hear your voice. You can win; just do not bend. Abused and do not even know it. Take a chance; call this stuff in. Don't let them rule you. God will school them. Abused and do not even know it.

Jesus came that you may have life and have it more abundantly. John 10:10

A Message for the People

By Stephanie Duke

Look up! Give thanks on this day to the Lord above. For whether you know it or not, you are his beloved. He will give you food for your body and clothes for your back and no you do not have to pay him for that. He knows all and sees all and that is a fact. He just wants you to make a pact.

He is the source for your spirit that is never ending. All he wants you to do is make a new beginning. So, reach up to the Lord from on high who is saying. "Do not worry; I will be there in a hurry." So, before it is too late and you do not get in the gate. Give your life so that you can tell the story, of the one true God, let us give him the glory.

God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish

John 3:16

Money

By Stephanie Duke

Money, what can be said about money? Money tows the line, money maybe kind. Money you cannot trust, money may even rust. Money, what can be said about money? Money pays the bills; money gives you thrills, money gets you over the hill. Money, pays you back, money keeps you on track. Money, what can be said about money? It has been said that money can be funny, and it pays playboy bunnies. Money's at the root, it can be a hoot, but let me take you back a minute, cause you know that I am in it . In the beginning was God and all things were created by him. God has no problem with them. It is not that money is evil, the problem is with the people. So, trust God and not your money and he will give you all of his honey.

Money answereth all things. Eccl. 10:19

My Son's Movie

Hi everyone and Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a blessed holiday season; I know I did.  It was the best one yet; my family and I enjoyed being with one another. Well, it is another year filled with new hope and new life and great opportunities.  I would like to share this video of a movie that my son is playing in.  It is called "Rum Smoke".  He plays the henchmen or bouncer for the loan shark in this picture.  He also wrote and sung the song "Fallen Angel" that is featured in the movie.  Here it is hope you enjoy it.
