I Really Love to Design Art and Wrote a Poem for Maya Angelou: One of Your Ownhttp://www.myspace.com/tonyshouse1018

I'LL SPEAK THE TRUTH THIS HERE'S NO LIE
IT'S BASED ON FACT: AS YOU'LL SURMISE.

IN ALL HEART'S
THERE'S A HEART FELT TRUTH
PERPETRATED BY THE GOVERNMENT 'S PLAN
"THE WHITE SUPREMACY'S LAWS"
AND NOW IT'S YOU.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I DO
OR WILL YOU DISOWN
IT HURTS THE MOST WHEN IT'S ONE OF YOUR OWN.

IT STARTED WITH THE SLAVERY
OF YOUNG BLACK MEN
TAKEN YOUNG BLACK WOMEN
BY HARSH: WHITE MEN.

MADE TO PICK COTTON TOBACCO BY HAND
TAKEN FROM THEIR OWN HOMES
TO A NEW LAND.

WOMEN RAPED
MEN HUNG AND BEATEN
JUSTIFIED AS SLAVES
UNTIL ABRAHAM LISTENED
FREED THE SLAVES
NO LONGER TO PAWN...

IT HURTS THE MOST WHEN IT'S ONE OF YOUR OWN.

STILL IN THE GRIPS
OF THE DEVIL'S HATRED
WHEN BLACKS BROUGHT AND BUILT
THE LAWS DIDN'T PROTECT THEM.

THOUGH THEY WORK HARD
THEIR OWN LANDS
THEIR OWN FARMS
ENVY AND HATE FOLLOWED THEM LONG.

FOUGHT IN TWO WARS
BUT NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED
BUILT BRIDGES WHEN ASKED
THE: WHITE MAN'S "ACCOMPLISHMENTS".

PREFORMED OPEN HEART SURGERY
YEARS AHEAD IN CHEMISTRY TOO
THE BUILDER'S OF: THE AMERICAN DREAM
THE PIONEERS OF: TRUTH.

WHO TOO: "HAVE FORGOTTEN"
WHO GIVES
WHO BROUGHT
WHO TAKES
OR WHO LOANS...

IT HURTS THE MOST WHEN IT'S ONE OF OUR OWN.

GROWING UP YOUNG BLACK GIRLS
SEE THE COMMERCIALS'
YOU HAVE DARK SKIN, DARK EYES
AND YOUR HAIR AIN'T FLOWING.

BIG HIPS BIG LIPS WITH BIG HEARTS TOO
WHERE LAYS YOUR PRIDE
WHEN THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU?

GROWING UP YOUNG BLACK BOYS
ARE TAUGHT FROM THE START
YOUNG BLACK GIRLS
THEIR FUTURE WOMEN
HOLD NO VALUE AT ALL.

PICK BY PICK
HELP BREAKING APART
BREAKING OF SELF
THE BREAKING OF: HEART.

BLACK BIG HOUSES
BLACK BIG, CARS.
BLACK BIG GHETTO'S
WITH: BLACK BIG SCAR'S.

BLACK BIG AFRO'S,
BLACK BIG BONED
BLACK BIG: FUTURE?
BLACK BIGGEST: UNKNOWN!

BIG BLACK NOSES
WITH BIG BLACK FEET
BIG BLACK PLANS
BIG BLACKEST: LEAST?

THE DIFFERENCE SO BIG
IT MAKES ONE MOAN...

BUT IT HURTS THE MOST WHEN IT'S ONE OF YOUR OWN.

ALL THAT WE'VE BEEN THRU
ALL BRED THRU SPAWNS
THE THEY ARE NOW WE
THE DIFFERENCE IS STRONG.

WE DON'T STICK TOGETHER
IT'S WE ~WE DON'T LIKE
COMPARING OUR HAIR
SKIN AND CLOTHING
COMPARING, OUR LIFE.

IF YOUR HAIR IS NOT THIS
IF YOU'RE SKIN LOOKS LIKE THAT
IF YOU LIVE OTHER THERE,
"WHAT? HE'S GOT A WHITE WIFE!"

FORGETTING
WHO PAVED THE WAY
WITH BLOOD
BEFORE:
WE WERE BORN...

BUT IT HURTS THE MOST WHEN IT'S ONE OF YOUR OWN.

TO UNDERSTAND GOD'S RAINBOW
OF COLOR: BLESSED AS WE ARE

TO EMBRACE ALL OF OUR BEAUTY
IS: TO REACH FOR THE STARS.

THERE ARE NO COMPARISONS
KNOW: THERE ARE NO COMPARISONS'
WITH: "THE CREATOR OF ALL"
UNITED WE STAND
DIVIDED WE FALL.

CAN WE: CONTINUE TO LIVE THIS IGNORANCE?
CAN WE: CONTINUE TO ACT OUT SHEER STRIFE?
CAN WE: CONTINUE TO BE PART OF THE HATRED, WHICH SNUFFS OUT Human LIFE?

WILL WE RISE AS GREATER?
WILL WE RISE ABOVE?
WILL WE SEE ALL WE COULD BE?
IF: WE RISE IN LOVE?

DO YOU SEE WHAT I DO?
I PRAY I'M NOT ALONE.
JUST A THOUGHT I'M THINKING
NOT HERE TO PICK AT BONES

BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
BE LOVE IN EVERY TONE.
GIVE MORE THAN YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN
STAND IN WE: AND NOT JUST ONE.

THE PROOF IS HOW WE'RE LIVING
THE TRUTH IS PLAINLY SHOWN
YOU AGREE?
YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME?

I AM ONE OF YOUR OWN.

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this kind of Thinking" - Albert Einstein

For Laughs I Created Real It / The Job.

[THESE STRIPS ARE INTENDED FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY! STRICTLY FOR LAUGHS! Please be advised THE SENSITIVE, NEGATIVE OR EASILY OFFENDED STOP HERE!] THOSE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND EXPRESSION, ARTS, OR THOSE WITH AN OPEN MIND, THESE ARE FOR YOU. REAL IT/ THE JOB Created By TLDiSam. Due to thee Adult nature of namely me beings that I've worked a Job since I was seven years old and have watched the Times in our Nation as a Whole evolve; I decided to create Real It/The Job. In the evidence of Evolution no matter how "Open" or Scary it is accept we must! Not to judge but to see the things we All do in this day in age? I feel Humor will make a day lighter! Note of Caution, Strips where "THE JOB" are displayed although for Adults Children can read; HOWEVER where "REAL IT" is displayed I WROTE THEM STRICTLY FOR ADULTS! America the Land of the Free~ and the Home of the Brave are we... in this Day and Age, but from the times of my late "Mother" there were in her days as she put it certain "Discretions" I just don't see Today! These were the "Proper's" of her day... Marriage='s Children/ Women were Chase Subjective to there Husbands' and were to never Smoke in the Street/ Men were Solely the " Bread Winner" and were Kind and Respectful to His Chosen Mate/ Children did NOT Talk Back Misbehave nor Respect Their Elders' in the Community/ Police Officers Walked the Beat and were Helpful Considered "Friends"/ Curse Words were Never On Television nor In Movies (GONE WITH THE WIND- a Major Block Buster of HER TIMES was Banned for years from release because of the NOW Famous Line " Quite Frankly I Don't Give A Dam!") / Men married Woman only/ The Community AS a WHOLE Raised the Village and the List goes on and on. Growing up back in the seventies with all the "Tabs of Acid" "POT" (strictly for Medical use of Course :)!) Freedom of Speech, Woman's Rights, Police Brutality, Same Sex Relationships I witnessed I was Glad I wasn't Born in neither the Thirties nor Forties. Fast forward to Today and seeing with all the Unwanted Pregnancies, Broken Homes with Single Parents, Disease, The Lack of Respect our Young Generation has, Rampant Police Violence, Cussing and Sex on Television, Even more so on The Big Screen at a point in Time I begun to Think differently about Her Time as opposed to My Times and Now. What a Hell of a Difference! People at Work still working Hard, The Nations Corrupt Leaderships bleeding the pockets of its People, Morals and just plain old Street Honor is way a thing of the Past. People we pass in the Streets aren't in general "Nice" any more. The Things We ALL See and witness today? I question Are We Not indeed marching To a New Drum? With these views in mind I Welcome you to "REAL IT/ THE JOB" where you can find among the New Us; THE BOSS/ THE GOSSIPER/ THE JANITOR/ THE HATTERS/ THE BACKSTABBERS/THE ASS KISSERS/ THE SECURITY GUARD/ THE PLAYERS/ THE PARTIERS/ THE MAILROOM/ THE ADDICT/ THE DOORKEEPER/ THE PERFECTIONIST/ THE HOMOSEXUAL/ DRAMA KINGS And QUEENS/ THE PROFESSIONAL SLUT(WOMAN) WHORE (MAN) ... IN ADDITION I HAVE THE " JOB LAYOUT" WHERE I EXPRESS DEFINITIONS OF TYPES. It's strictly for Laughs and Fun... However as my Oldest Sister use to say "IF THE SUIT FITS- JOG IN IT!" So again welcome to REAL IT/ THE JOB where the TRUTH is Sometimes Funny~ and where ART IMITATES LIFE~ OUR OWN. TLDiSam. ENJOY!

Mr. Becker: (the Cat's Meow) Is the Successful Business Man. His Signature Sweater and Bow-tie with one Hand in his pocket tends to show the Intellect of him (So He Thinks!) Although he's Oblivious to the Fact that his Leadership Skills and Position with his Employee's is totally OUT DATED! He knows he has no Authority because of his Wife; Mrs. Lynch the Company's Silent partner and Major contributing Founder (She's Daddy's Little Rich Spoiled Married Girl). With misdirected battle cries he Yells at everyone and tries to maintain at all costs that He's the Boss! (But they all know better) His Main Concerns? Pleasing Her, Exerting his Authority, Retirement, Gulf and Money, Money, did I say Money?

THE JOB LAYOUT: IS EITHER A FLOOR PATTERN OR THREE WORDS DRAWN ARTISTICALLY WITH THE SAME CONCLUSION … "YOUR CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE" DEFINING TYPES OF CHARACTERISTIC QUALITIES WITH SYMBOLS.

THE JOB: THE FLIRT COMES IN BOTH SEXES WITH ALL KINDS OF ANGLES CAUGHT UP IN THE THRILL OF THE CATCH.

THE JANITOR JOSE':

JOSE' THE JANITOR WAS BORN HERE IN THE GREAT OLD USA~ ALTHOUGH HE AND HIS PARENTS ARE STILL CONSIDERED ILLEGAL'S TO THIS COUNTRY. RAISED WITH ALL THE TRADITIONS OF STRONG FAMILY TIES HARD WORK ETHICS' OF OLD MEXICO, IS LIVING THE SO CALLED AMERICAN DREAM. HARD WORK~ LOW PAY GOT ANYTHING TO DO EXTRA? ... CAN YOU SAY JOSE'?!

***MICKEY HAS A HABIT THAT HE'LL DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING TO HIDE FROM DON HIS MAIN MAN. EVERYONE ELSE AROUND THE PAIR CAN CLEARLY SEE MICKEY NEEDS PROFESSIONAL HELP; HOWEVER DAY AFTER DAY DON LOANS MONEY HE'LL NEVER SEE AGAIN… CAN YOU SAY CO-DEPENDENT?

THE JOB/ REAL IT LYNN THE GOSSIPER: AS IF THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOURS OF WORK TO DO IN ANY GIVEN DAY, LYNN THE GOSSIPER SEEMS TO FIND THE TIME TO INFORM ANYONE WHO WILL LEND AN EAR THE LATEST GREATEST MISFORTUNE OF OTHERS. BETTER WATCH WHAT YOU SAY OR WHO YOU TELL IT TO BECAUSE WHAT'S HEARD TODAY WITH LYNN WILL BE TOMORROWS NEWS!

THE JOB/ REAL IT TRIXIE THE SECRETARY: TRIXIE IS THE SECRETARY YOU CAN'T SEEM TO LOVE NOR HATE. VALUED V.I.P. IF YOU ASKED HER BUT FOR US WHO WORK WITH HER?.... IMPATIENCE BREWS! UNCOORDINATED, LOST IN A TITLE AND RUDEEE! ONCE THE PERFECT GIRL FOR THE JOB IS NOW BURNED-OUT TOASTED BRAIN! ... TAKE A VACATION GIRL~ THE JOB/ REAL IT: MICHAEL THE OFFICE MALE [WHORE]: MICHAEL AFRAID OF COMMITMENT BECAUSE HE GOT CHEATED ON BELIEVES THE MORE HE TREATS WOMAN BADLY THE MORE HE'LL MEND HIS BROKEN HEART HE WANTS SO VERY BADLY TO HAVE A GIRL OF HIS OWN BUT EVERY TIME HE BEGINS TO FEEL ANYTHING FOR ONE HE FALLS RIGHT BACK INTO HIS PARANOID WAYS… A SOUND LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS THERAPY?
