The Pain In My Heart

You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Pain in my heart. It’s Spring Time in Tennessee. Winter has lost its icy grip on our lives. The sun warms the sky like a morning kiss.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ A Black man hanging from a tree in the south. It’s symbolism that makes you wince. It’s a bible set on fire. It’s a brick through stained glass. It’s a hungry child that nobody feeds. A black man hanging from a tree in the south. If […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The animal hoarders in the ugly little house. The sky is gray. The yard is muddy. The air is cool and rain is starting to fall. I get out of the news vehicle and survey the situation. A school bus suddenly pulls up. It’s light blink […]
