"Oh, How it Amazes"
RE-PUBLISH
I SHALL NOT be hoodwinked nor bamboozled by the effervescent smiles that perpetually don the faces of those participating in individual encounters. Smiles that inexplicably disappear and become smirks when in the presence of others that resemble them.
OUR SPIRIT LIVES!!!
PEACE!!!

We have been left to determine whether the perceived good intentions of those that have the capacity to impact our lives on a daily basis are indeed good at all.
Friendly faces adorned with beautiful smiles are leaving us in a quandary-ALWAYS-about the nature of their intent.
"Oh, How it Amazes" addresses just that.
It is intended to evoke thought and was penned at a time that I was entertaining considerable thought as to how "I" was being perceived as naïve to what was occurring regarding a specific business matter. The disparate treatment was pointed out to me by a white man that I have known for quite a period of time.
So, as I stated at the beginning of this episode, this piece speaks for itself. Listen, and allow it to SPEAK TO YOU!!!
OUR SPIRIT LIVES!!!
PEACE!!
