It’s a sad day today, Black man in the USA, seemingly born with a disadvantage,
Looking into the eyes straight into to the future of my BLACK son
Days When your only crime may be being born
What do I teach him, to stay or to Run,
To carry or To not carry a GUN,
Does it even Matter?
If the enemy just wants your black head on a platter

Born into a system where there is slim chance to win,
so why not be born again?
Live by a whole new set of rules and laws, where you are guaranteed to prosper in your soul, better get right within
Can’t change your skin, so you better get right within
“They” ain’t right within, so you better get right within
We are approaching the end, so you better get right within
On a side note,
Let me address this letter I wrote:

Dear “White” America,  
Just because my son is black does not mean he will rob you
Just because my son is black does not mean he is poor
Just because my son is black does not mean he is Angry
Just because my son is black does not mean he wants to be a rapper or a pro athlete or entertainer though Yes, he might because he is genetically inclined to be creative, strong, fast and strong willed
Just because my son is black does not mean he is not intelligent
Just because my son is black does not mean he is lazy
Just because my son is black does not mean that he came from a single parent home

He is not a threat to your safety or a menace to society
He is a human being who is worthy of respect.
He is valuable, and will grow up to be an honorable man an asset A gift to society who will make a positive mark on the world.

Dear “Black” America

When we can’t depend on the system for Justice, we have to leave it in God’s hands
More than a Black Lives Matter movement,
It’s a stand, I’m Tired of wearing RIP T-shirts, It doesn’t ease the hurt

The Black Lives movement, though a very necessary reiteration
Of the immense VALUE of a Nation
Spoken and heard
Desperately has to be, more than subjects for poetic “Spoken Word”
Black Lives Matter.
A mission so overflowing with passion
An innocent blood stained plea for peace
A call to action
But regardless of "mainstream’s" reaction
Within, we must make change happen
The sad reality is WE CAN’T make Black Lives Matter to people who want to believe they don’t
But we can live, carry and conduct ourselves in ways that show that we know they do
Seek and teach the young men the Wisdom in His infallible proof
All we can do is our individual parts, will you?
S.P.E.A.K. LIFE
With much love respect and sincerity,

Elle. Williams

The meaning of S.P.E.A.K.

What is S.P.E.A.K.? It's the way I do poetry, the way God gave it to me to share. I have been writing "poetry" every since I was a little girl. I finally decided to be obedient. I felt like God had been telling me to publish and share my writings for years but I always procrastinated and hesitated, doubting if it were good enough or if any one even cared.  In fact, I didn't even consider it poetry compared to some of the prestigious poets and writers I would read about and admire. I would just write down and express my thoughts and emotions (as they come to my mind) and they just so happen to rhyme.It seemed to flow out of me almost effortlessly.  Then one day I realized that God was using my writings to HEAL me and give me Understanding and WISDOM about that particular issue in my life. He spoke,  "S.P.E.A.K"  (Supernatural Poetic Expressions of Anointed Knowledge)to me and placed an undeniable passion and desire to share (what I know now is)a gift...

Quiet Time with the One who matters most

Galatians 4:6 (AMP) And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! Father! Abba! Father! Wow, What a priviledge and a gift to get to call God Almighty, Dad!! If you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and have been born again, this promise belongs to you! One day while I was spending some quality time with Daddy! The question arose " Why do we call it "Spending" time? I heard the answer " Because it Cost something. It cost Jesus so much for us to be able to have the opportunity to live, breath and enjoy life! Time is so valuable and such a precious gift and one of Life's greatest treasures, we know. How we use our time is extremely important. It can not be stressed enough. It's one of those lessons that if I could go back and drill it into the head of my younger self I would. Please Don't waste time! I think that's one of the devil's biggest strategies to get you to use...
