They say everything starts with a vision. From that which is seen comes that which is enacted. Jeffery A. Sanders Sr. is a poetic vision of creating positive possibilities and ideals and using them to effectively change our world. I remember reading his words and feeling a sense of empowerment, knowing that I could do anything I put my mind to, if I took the correct steps to get there. Mr. Sanders is a testament to the power of second chances, the power of positive words, and the ability that we all have within us to think better and be better. It is my pleasure to introduce to you Mr. Jeffery A. Sanders Sr.

I'm a syllogism of wordplay and mastery, a bottomless pit of word and life knowledge, traveling slowly through the mud and swamps of life, creating a beautiful path into glory, so that I can touch the face of God.

Hmmm...I am a walking miracle, touched by the grace of God. It is He who leads and guides me on a daily basis. I sit in silence and I listen for His guidance, enjoying every moment of my new life, not worrying about a thing. I am like the eagle in flight.

SINGLE BLACK WOMAN
BY JEFFERY SANDERS
AKA-CALI-ISMS
CALIFORNIA "N" BOSTON
THIS PIECE WAS BORN OUT OF A CONVERSATION
WITH A FRIEND AND SINGLE BLACK WOMAN, AND
THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS BORN OF THAT CONVERSATION,
SINGLE BLACK WOMAN
YOUR ARE THE BLACK-MANS SHINING LIGHT,
HIS BEACON, HIS CANDLE THAT BURNS INFINITE
SHE IS THE FLOWER THAT BLOOMS, BEFORE OUR EYES
THE CLEAR SKY'S OF OUR DARKEST DAYS,
BECAUSE OUR MINDS HAVE NOT LEARNED,
WHO SHE IS THAT STAND BEFORE US,
YET BLACK-MAN
YOUR ARE HER MORAL FORCE, HER
INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL, AS SHE STEPS
INTO YOUR LIFE,
SINGLE BLACK WOMAN, YOU ARE THE PILLAR OF
A BLACK-MAN, EMBEDDED WITH YOUR WOMANLY
INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL, THAT STATES YOUR MENTAL,
EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL PURPOSE,THAT BRINGS THE BLACK-MAN
CLOSER THAN EVEN YOUR BREATHING,
SINGLE BLACK-WOMAN,
A GOOD BLACK-MAN, WILL GUIDE YOU,
LEAD YOU, AND TEACH YOU, WHAT GOD
REVEALS FROM HIS PLAN OF ACTION, AND HIS
COMMON SENSE,
SINGLE BLACK-WOMAN,
YOU ARE,
YOU ARE THE BACKBONE OF AN INCEPTION OF
A BIRTH THAT GROWS A NATION, A MORAL SUBSTANCE,
THERE WILL BE PAIN, THERE WILL BE HEARTBREAK, AND
YOU WILL THIRST FOR THE BLACK-MAN,
SINGLE BLACK-WOMAN,
BUT YOUR STRENGTH IS STRONG ENOUGH TO WITH STAND
AND UNDERSTAND ANY STORM, INCLUDING THE ONE'S YOU
CREATE YOURSELF,WITHOUT FIGHTING THERE CAN BE NO VICTORY,
YOUR STRENGTH HAS BEEN TESTED AND PROVED,
BLACK-WOMAN
MOTHER OF EARTH AND FERTILITY, RULER OF QUEENDOMS,
THE FACTS STAND BEFORE THE BLACK-MAN, YOU ARE THE
PHENOMENAL WOMAN, THAT ONLY A BLACK-MAN WITH ,
A CALMNESS OF MIND WILL RECOGNIZE , THAT YOU OPERATE
FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH, KNOWLEDGE, VILIGENCE,
SIMPLICITY AND DIGNITY,
BLACK-MAN, THE BLACK-WOMAN IS OUR EMOTIONAL SECURITY,
SHE MUST BE HONORED, CHEERISH, ACCEPTED AND APPROVED,
WITH RESPECT AND HER REFLECTIVE S OF ALL THE LOVE SHE FUELS,
FROM LEARNED WISDOM,
SINGLE BLACK-WOMAN,
YOUR UNIQUE EXPRESSIONS OF LOYALTY, ESTABLISHES,
THE RHYTHM OF THE BLACK FAMILY UNIT, AS ONLY A PHENOMENAL
BLACK-MAN CAN REPRESENT THE BLACK FAMILY PLAN,
SINGLE BLACK WOMAN
THIS POET AND STRONG BLACK-MAN GIVES YOU PRAISE
IN A VERBAL PERSONAL ASSERTIONS, SINGLE MARRIED OR UNMARRIED,
YOU ARE DISCIPLINED, MINDFUL, SUPPORTIVE, SOFT-SPOKEN, RESPONSIBLE,
COLLABORATIVE, COMPASSIONATE, SIGNIFICANT,
SINGLE BLACK-WOMAN,
YOUR ACTIONS, SPEAKS COURAGE, THAT'S ADEQUATELY STRONG,
INDEPENDENT, AUTONOMOUS, UNBROKEN, YOU ARE PHENOMENOLOGICALLY
UNBROKEN, UNBEATEN AND FREE, NOW STOP SAYING YOU DON'T NEED THE
BLACK-MAN.....
THIS PIECE IN ITS PRESENCE IS AN INDICATION OF A RIPENED EXPERIENCE OF
A BLACK-MAN AND A PARTIAL MEASURE OF A BLACK-WOMAN, IN A CALM MEASURE THAT NECESSITATES AN UNDERSTANDING,THAT THE BLACK-MAN AND BLACK WOMAN NEED AN UNDERSTANDING, TO STRENGTHEN THE BLACK FAMILY ....THE EMPHASIS ON SINGLE BLACK WOMAN IS BECAUSE WE AS BLACK MEN, ARE NOT ENGAGING THE ACTIONS NECESSARY FOR THE BLACK-WOMAN TO BELIEVE IN THE BLACK-MAN...AS THEY BASICALLY STAND ALONE......BLACK-MAN! WHAT WE GONNA DO, SUGGESTIONS DO SOMETHING POSITIVE...EDUCATION, AND SUPPORT WHAT YOU MAKE....INSTEAD OF MAKING FATHERLESS BABIES........CALI-ISMS HAS SPOKEN....THANK YOU......
