It’s ONLY a START
At noon (est) the collective breath of this world was partially held as a man, “NOT LIKE the OTHER ONES”, will accept his new place in HISTORY as PRESIDENT of THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA. As the CONSTITUTIONAL RULE gives a clear path of what must be done TODAY, Barack Hussein Obama will become “Mr. President”to EVERY citizen of the WORLD, not ‘JUST’ to “WE, the People of THESE United States…”.
Since Harriet Tubman’s leading many to “DRINK” from a far away “LADLE” the health rich brew called FREEDOM… Through “STOLEN” African citizens’ learning, then TEACHING, to read and write by the small lights of a candle or the fireplace… For every sad harvest of “STRANGE FRUIT” that was forced on Africa’s permanently “INDENTURED”… This IS the day that could be likened to JOSEPH greeting HIS family as a “Ghost/ Savior”. BUT, it is ONLY the first tentative step of a “SON of GENIUS” who is the first of his line to EMBRACE his NATION as its GUIDING hand.
With a world that is “ONE GRAIN of SAND” from falling OFF the UNIVERSE, and moving into a home that has been suffering from far too many types of VERMIN that have, and ARE, still ensconced in the walls and FOUNDATION(S).Think of TODAY as a new national/political version of “THIS OLD HOUSE”. The only difference is that everyone in, and of, this moment is to be on the CREW that assists the RESTORATION of , the [\"Rebirtth of a NOTION\"], of why we are the United States of AMERICA.
The only WANT/”WISH”/ HOPE I have for TODAY is that ‘EVIL’ has been confused enough that THIS NATION can take its first clear breath in a while then set its feet firmly in a better set of “starting blocks”. For a “RACE” that WE are ALL part of… the HUMAN ONE.
This is how some of the world “sees”it…
1.)[From Australia]
3.)[From RUSSIA, \"With LOVE\".]
5.)[The very NATIVE Son.]
7.)[The COUPS de GRAS.]
At the start, in the original CONSTITUTION, “I” was ONLY THREE-FIFTHS of a ‘WHITE’ MAN NOW “I”AM “HIS PRESIDENT”.
The only problem I, and three-quarters of the WORLD had with Rick Warren’s prayer IS that he purposely Ignored ALLAH’S mention thus denying , as the BIBLE says ‘HIS’ MANY NAMES. (A sad AND significant OMISSION to the SON OF a MUSLIM FATHER.) Whereas the Benediction given by the Reverend Joseph Lowery included “ALL GOD’S CHILDREN” as Rick Warren would NOT.
As a final thought: My Grandmother and Grandfather sat with me to watch an Ohio ‘farm-boy’ “…Take a small step for MAN”… in the year of 1969. My Grandmother had told us of where she was when the Wrights skipped across Kitty Hawk’s beach front, telling us… “that if God had wanted man to go to the Moon he’d have given Man wings”…, just days before. She held her head in prayer that moment. Esther and Verdrie would have held each other TODAY. And my SLAVE-born GREAT-Grandmother would have SMILED … IN VICTORY.
Success: 233 years long.
It Began At 40 W Gay St.
The address of 40 W.Gay St. is NOW owned by the Legal Aid Society in the city of Columbus, Ohio. It used to be the ‘LODGINGS’ of “Sir” Larry Flynt’s original HUSTLER Club. CNN ran an article on Tuesday (01/06/09), as well as 504,000 other news agencies, on how Mr. Flynt AND “Girls Gone Wild” owner, Joseph R. Francis, have asked the nation’s legislators to provide their “industry” the ultimate definition of “the MONEY SHOT“. Even though the TUMESCENT tandem of TAWDRINESS has sought to pay a “LIP SERVICE” that those in our nation’s capitol can truly understand ,and have lately “come” to enjoy.
In a business that “swells” its coffers to an estimated $10 BILLION yearly, surely their “Mustangs” are seeking to “mount” an “assault” of “greasing” the palms of many a Senator in order to “fluff” their wallets as has the Banking industry, and so many others. [Profiting as \"stand-up\" guys.]
In a business that makes its money by “tickling” someone’s “fancy”pornography has slowly ground its way into the mainstream of how most of those that have already received part of the bailouts. [Like the BUNNY RANCH, so many choices.]
After all the ways Lady Justice and Liberty have been made to represent and protect their “VIRTUES” of late this move is not all that far fetched. The one thing I can say about this is that the “BACKDOOR”politics will surely be “testeed”. Will they be chauffeured in VOLVOS ?
As for the picture of G.W.Bush, his face is most telling of this.
The Portrait of a Lincoln
In any artistic beginning there is a lot of open space, the “OIL” has to be applied long after the “GESSO” has “gelled” to seal the canvas. That is why that even the “FREEDMAN” that President Abraham Lincoln Is addressing has the same tone of pigment at that moment we see here.
No discernable difference, YET.
There are so many things that determine the final outcome of what is transpiring on a daily basis. Plans have ways of gaining their own personalities, like your child between the age of 0 and 7 years, they’re not quite what you had in mind but you know that they not finished yet… and there’s STILL that thing called “hope”.
There’s a lot of “gesso’ around the Lincoln Theatre at this moment, but more and more of the neighborhood are wondering when the Ocres, Saffrons, CoCoas and Raw Umbers are to make their way within the boundries that were set during the original idea.
During this re-transformation of ‘BRONZEVILLE’ many are still in the stage of “GESSO”, and haven’t been brave enough to study properly for their “graduation” to the “promise” of a life, LIBERTY and the encouragement to receive their DOCTORATE in creating that PURSUIT of HAPPINESS.
Those of African-American heritage have been lead to TRUST, almost, ANYTHING associated with the Lincoln moniker, remember the ” BLACK-XPLOITATIONAL 1970′S ?(Henry Ford’s SECOND automotive company. [ Linking Lincoln\'s] [Later in life, Ford recalled this period as one that was driven by profit rather than innovation.[8] )
Outlandish luxury is often the association of our culture.
" WE" WOULD have driven THIS 1955 "flivver".
One question is whether or not we can and WILL accept the responsiblility for our own portraitural futures, as the MAN shaking Abraham Lincoln’s hand, Charles Wellington Reed : ‘BUGLER’= Medal of Honor WINNER… One of the FIRST. The next question is what IS the ‘PRICE’ of FREEDOM !?!
