PSA FROM THE DESK OF TARAJI

I AM SO UTTERLY DISGUSTED BY SOME OF THE THINGS I READ ON FACEBOOK SOMETIMES. IT IS A SHAME THAT A PLATFORM THAT WAS SET UP TO PROMOTE BUSINESSES, FOR PEOPLE TO NETWORK, AND FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE IN OTHER PLACES ACROSS THE GLOBE CAN STAY IN TOUCH WITH ONE ANOTHER WHEN THEY CAN'T SEE EACH OTHER DAILY, IS BEING USED TO TEAR DOWN, BACK BITE, AND GET INTO OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS WHEN IT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY CONCERN YOU. 

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY IF YOU READ SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE DON'T COMMENT....IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE EITHER INBOX THEM OR JUST DELETE THEM FROM YOUR FRIENDS LIST....IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL.

ADULTS OUR CHILDREN READ OUR POSTS AND WATCH EVERYTHING WE DO REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU ARE MAKING POSTS THAT ARE UNPLEASANT....ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION "CAN MY MOTHER READ THIS?"

JUST A LITTLE SUM SUM TO THINK ABOUT

PEACE

FAKERS

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS IN NO WAY AN ATTEMPT TO OFFEND ANYONE AND THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS POST AND OTHERS LIKE IT ARE INDEPENDENT RANDOM THOUGHTS SO IF YOUR HEART...MIND...AND SPIRIT ARE WEEK DON'T READ THIS.

I AM SO TIRED OF FAKERS
FAKE SMILES
FAKE HELLOS
FAKE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT I SUPPOSE
FAKE LOVE
FAKE HUGS
FAKE TRUST
FAKERS BE FORGETTIN WHAT THE LAST LIE WAS
FAKERS TAKEN UP VALUABLE SPACE
FAKER MOVE OUT THE WAY SO MY REAL FAM CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE
NO MORE ROOM FOR FAKERS HOPE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS 
FAKERS CAN'T SURVIVE IN TARAJI LAND
FAKERS

COULD THE REAL VILLAGE PLEASE STAND UP

IT IS A SAD DAY
WHEN MURDERS MASQUERADE AS NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH IS PLAYING RENT A COP
WHILE THE NEIGHBORHOOD STOPS WATCHING AND TURNS THEIR BACK
IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD 
BUT IT TAKES TWO OR THREE VILLAGES TO RAISE STRONG MEN AND WOMEN
UNFORTUNATELY THE VILLAGE IS FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE
STAND UP VILLAGE BECAUSE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE UNDER ATTACK
SOCIALLY, ECONOMICALLY, EDUCATIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, AND PHYSICALLY
WE MUST COME AGAINST THESE TRAGIC OCCURRENCES AND STOP TAKING IT LYING DOWN
WE MUST PRAY AND PROTEST
WE HAVE TO SPEAK OUT BECAUSE WRONG IS JUST WRONG
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO TRAYVON MARTIN OR ANY OTHER PERSON WHO HAS ENDURED SUCH A FATE.  SO THIS IS FOR ALL THE TRAYVON'S EVERYWHERE(MALE OR FEMALE) WHO HAVE BEEN WRONGLY ACCUSED, UNJUSTLY IMPRISONED, AND HORRIBLY MURDERED FOR BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME AND THE WRONG COLOR AND LET US NOT FORGET WITH A HOODIE ON.

STAND UP VILLAGE PLEASE STAND UP!!!!!

TWISTED LOVE (SISTAH TARAJI 10/17/12)

YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME
BUT HOW COULD YOU LOVE ME
AND YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND
HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF

YOU TELL ME THAT YOU NEED ME
AND I WOULD RATHER THAT YOU
WANT ME INSTEAD OF NEED ME
BECAUSE IF YOU NEED ME
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT YOU MIGHT JUST
BECOME A VAMPIRE IN MY LIFE
DRAINING ME OF MY LIVING ESSENCE

AND YES LOVE IS PATIENT AND KIND BUT
YOU CONTINUE TO TAKE LOVES KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS
CRUSHING IT INTO A DUST SO FINE THAT IT IS
NOT VISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE
AND....I...THE ONE WHO YOU SAY YOU LOVE...AM TIRED

EACH TIME WE GO AROUND THIS MOUNTAIN
YOU ASSURE ME THAT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN
AND LOVE CAUSES ME TO ALLOW THE LAST OUNCE
OF COMMON SENSE I HAVE
TO ESCAPE FROM MY MIND
AND RETURN BACK TO YOUR LAYER LIKE
A SLAVE
ONLY TO GO AROUND THE SAME MOUNTAIN AGAIN

WELL TODAY I AM STANDING UP
NO MORE MRS. NICE LADY
I REFUSE TO TAKE THIS ABUSE OF MY LOVE ANYMORE
MY GET AWAY CAR IS READY TO GO
MY BAGS ARE PACKED
MY MIND IS MADE UP
MY WOUNDS ARE READY TO HEAL
SO.....
AS YOU WATCH ME WALK AWAY
DON'T TRY TO STOP ME BECAUSE
LOVE HAS NO CONVERSATION FOR YOU
LOVE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
I WILL NOT LOOK BACK
LOOKING BACK CAUSED LOT'S WIFE TO TURN
INTO A PILLAR OF SALT
AND I DON'T NEED ANYMORE SALT IN MY WOUNDS

YOU LEFT MY LOVE FOR DEAD
LAYING IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ON A RESPIRATOR
AND NOW AS IM FIGHTING TO STAY ALIVE
I SEE THAT SAME OLD SMILE
HEAR THAT SAME OLD LINE
BUT THIS TIME INSTEAD OF GIVING IN
I AM FIGHTING
FIGHTING FOR LOVE
FIGHTING FOR MYSELF
SO WHEN I SAY GOODBYE
DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL
BECAUSE IT'S JUST BUSINESS
MAYBE THE NEXT TIME YOU SAY
YOU LOVE SOMEONE....YOU WILL MEAN IT
STARTING WITH THE REFLECTION YOU SEE

THIS IS DEDICATED TO VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
LOVE SHOULD NEVER HURT.  BE BLESSED.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

IT HAS BECOME APPARENT TO ME THAT PEOPLE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS.  THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE BUT HAVE A BLIND EYE TURNED TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR OWN HOUSE.   THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF LUKE...."IF YOU HAVE A BEAM IN YOUR EYE HOW CAN YOU SEE CLEARLY TO PULL A SPECK OUT OF YOUR BROTHER'S EYE AND IN THAT SAME PASSAGE IT SAYS JUDGE NOT!  IN OTHER WORDS IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOURSELF TOGETHER YOU CAN'T SEE CLEARLY TO SHOW SOMEONE ELSE HOW TO GET THEMSELVES TOGETHER.....REAL TALK DON'T THROW STONES BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE.....ENUFF SAID!

LOVE YOURSELF

 

IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF

NO ONE ELSE WILL

LOVING YOURSELF DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE CONCEITED

IT JUST MEANS THAT

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH

THAT HE HAS EMPOWERED YOU

TO LOVE YOURSELF

JUST CONSIDER YOURSELF

A LOVE CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE

LEARN TO RECEIVE LOVE

AND GIVE LOVE

TODAY

The Time Is Now

Now is the time to receive your blessings....His Sheep know His voice.  Listen for the voice of GOD...He will lead you in the right direction. Watch for the open windows and doors that your miracles will flow from.

Take Care and Be Blessed.
