Don't go through it grow through it

As a man think so he is and what a human mind can conceive can achieve through definiteness of purpose and infinite intelligence. Make it okay to become wealthy today because one sickness can wipe out a fortune. I love America too much, am too invested in what this country has become, too committed to its institutions, its beauty, and even its ugliness, to focus entirely on the circumstances of its birth. But neither can I brush aside the magnitude of the injustice done, or erase the ghosts of generations past, or ignore the open wound, the aching spirit, that ails this country still. No test, No testimony, Don't go through it, Grow through it. The worse thing about betrayal it never comes from enemy. I keep Lord on my right hand side with him I will not be shaken and I shall stand always, forever, and ever stronger like a pyramid and you can count on me. Further more I am a prisoner of my own biography, I can't help but view American experience through the lens of a black man, forever mindful of how generations of people who looked like me were subjugated, stigmatized, and the subtle  and not so subtle ways that race and class continue to shape our lives. No person, in any culture, likes to be bullied. No person likes living in fear because his or her ideas are different. Nobody likes being poor or hungry, and nobody likes to live under an economic system in which the fruits of his or her labor go perpetually unrewarded. God bless America always and forever.
