An Incredible Dancer in A Beautiful Nightmare
A Reading of a poem of sorts
She dances in moonlight,
A perfect grace, a beauty in time and space,
The world disappears in her dance,
She does not see the nightmare developing in front of her face,
An incredible dancer,
Through time and space,
She dances,
In perfect grace,
Beauty in life's face,
Sights above, through space,
Dancing for no one,
But the unseen eyes of God's eyes,
She dances in moonlight,
No mind to that eternal sadness,
That falls from Heaven's grace,
She spins around,
And around,
Never looking down,
A beauty to the stars,
She dances around,
There in the madness of that dark world,
She dances in sparkling light,
Breaking the blackness that tries to envelope her,
That which tries to destroy her,
Is thrown back, to the disgrace of its failure,
A monument to her success,
She dances in light,
A beauty in spirit,
In body,
In mind,
She is the unicorn everyone tries to chase,
She continues to dance,
Dances away the pain,
She is the moon,
She is the stars,
To hold in heart,
In mind,
To never let go,
Nobody knows her past,
She only knows her present,
The future is untold,
She dances for the stars,
To reach out,
To grasp her in sweet embraces,
The nightmare below is tossed away,
In that bright light,
A beautiful light,
She dances and dances,
Never to touch the ground,
To never fall from grace.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.
