"SOUL CRY"
It is late, or shall I say quite early in the morning. My soul
cried tonight, so many tears until I was physically drained. I
haven't seen any previews, but came across a review for the movie
Hotel Rwanda, and I HAD to see it. I was wondering why there
weren't many, if any advertisements for the film. I wondered why
the movie was only playing at a few theatres in a city as large as
Houston.
As I sat and watched in horror at the atrocities and slaughter, the
genocide that claimed the lives of nearly a million innocent people
including children and the elderly, I was awe-stricken. I was
deeply saddened and sorrow filled my very being. I could not fathom
the fear and the terror they must have faced, clinging to life,
bargaining with evil, pleading for their loved ones to be spared.
I thought of my children. I thought of the helplessness that the
mothers of those children must have felt as they watched their
babies, some not even weaned from their breasts, being slaughtered,
so brutally.
The women who were captured, raped and left for dead, if not killed,
the children whose blood was shed and the defenseless fathers who
were powerless to stop the viciousness and protect their families,
every story plays in my mind now as I write and as the tears
continue to fall.
I wonder why we take life for granted, why we harp on foolishness
and completely neglect our obvious blessings like life, like
breath. Most of us sitting at our computers reading this had dinner
last night and have already eaten again today.
Many of us, though we may not be where we want to be, are working or
are capable of working; so many are not. We get caught up in
ourselves, our selfish desires, our plight to get ahead and make
more money, become more visible and outshine the next person.
All over the world, there are people who are enslaved, who are
senselessly murdered for no justifiable cause, and WE ignore it.
For many of us, it's simply because of ignorance. In 1994 I
remember vaguely hearing of the Rwanda massacre, but never to the
full extent of genocide. I never really grasped the magnitude of
what was occurring or what is occurring in many places today.
Well tonight, I pause. My soul cries. I wish I had been more
aware. Not that I could have stopped any of it, but perhaps if more
of us had taken notice and made some noise, we could have possibly
urged the powers that be to help in some way before generations were
annihilated.
My point in writing this is to urge everyone to support this film.
Go to the movies and watch it. Do not bootleg it! Spread the word
to everyone you know, all over the net. You can reach thousands of
people in one group. Tell a friend. Take a friend or loved one and
see it more than once.
For one day, at the very least, forget these silly net contests.
Forget promoting our individual groups and careers. Let's promote
awareness of not only the movie, but of the slaughter of the
innocent that took place in a small African country where no one
seemed to care, and help was not sent until generations had been
exterminated.
How sad that people of the same heritage were taught to hate one
another because of physical differences, and even now, in this
country, we discriminate against one another for similar reasons.
Lighter skin and longer hair are often favored over darker skin and
shorter coarser hair. It is apparent in our culture if you just
look at the media. Black women are practically being replaced by
Latinas and Asians, the more exotic.
How Foolish! I get casting all the time looking for exotic women.
TO all of my ladies, models or not, embrace your beauty and the
beauty of others. Celebrate your uniqueness and the differences
that set each of us apart. Screw what the net or what any
publication thinks of your appeal to mass audiences. God created
each of us uniquely; we are original designs. There are no
duplicates, and I am so blessed and proud to say there are no other
Zsaquezs in the world, that I am the only me.
It seems so far fetched that black people could murder one another
over physical differences, but just think about it. Remember the
movie School Daze. We have carried the racist stigma that was
handed to us centuries ago. And, it hold true for other cultures.
I just watched King Arthur and the same madness took place even
then. It is not a new concept, but unfortunately it is often
shunned.
Let's change that and make a little noise. Share this with a
friend. Open dialogue among colleagues and associates. Don't let
the entertainment world silence the work that has given a voice to
the Rwandan atrocity.
I know this isn't "Sexy" & probably too
long.
Most of you probably
will never even get to the end of this,
but , more than anything ?
My Heart is Big !!
And, tonight.... it is FULL.
I wanted "ALL OF YOU" to know.
More than HOT pics.... [ isn't that what we say ? ]
OR
"Check out my Hot new gallery ?!?!"
I AM HUMAN !!
And that being said, how could I not speak
on the grotesque killings, the insane prejudice and the silence that
has covered it?
How could our Brothers & Sisters be SLAIN....
and , No One say A Word
?!?

Blue skies turn gray
Rain cloud swell, hovering ominously
Yesterdays smile fades
And a bitter sorrow takes hold of me
Yesterday we danced on marshmallow clouds
Your words softly serenaded my heart
Silently praying the moments endurance
Not realizing our bond would soon part
We lay intertwined, Physically, Mentally & Emotionally
Passionately making love-one soul we become
A single beam, a brilliant ray of light
Our entire beings-ONE
Seemingly instantaneous, along came the storm
Our tiny ship sailed into open sea
Deserted deep among pounding hail and rain
I felt your love, your life slip away from me
I waved a broken farewell
Accompanied by a solitary tear
Our connection sadly severed, but theres this small place in my heart
That reminds me true love, simplistically real, once lived here
Together, for a moment in time
You & I existed, not as two.....as one
But , Now....
WE ARE NO MORE

These are the eyes into which you gaze
The full lips you LOVE to taste
The hair you so lightly tug
And the arch in the back you love to rub
These..... are the breasts you caress so softly
Notice the curve as your hands glide over my body
The waist that reaches inward just before the hips
The fullness and roundness that invites your lips
Drawing you so near, but yet youre still so far
With only a picture to keep the memory ajar
But, your heart reminds YOU of the "True" beauty beneath....
The physical allure, that generates such HEAT
That enraptures you and stimulates your masculinity
And, gives way for the genuine un-tainted inner beauty
That you recall sweetly the words
and that look
Into the eyes that reveal the soul like a precious classical book
You have seen beyond the poses and the lighting
You know beyond the mirage that others find so inviting
The secret little places that harbor the authentic ME
And , you have touched....
have seen & tasted ....
My Pure.... " Un-replicated" Beauty
