Invisible Man

I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, It is as though I have been surronded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. when they approach me they see only my surrondings, themselves, or figments of their imagination-indeed, everything and anything ecept me. Ralph Ellisons`s " INVISIBLE MAN " ( Message to the Poor Man ) ............ Poor man we must not let our children be, as we are, Beggars of another man, for his Home, Facilities, Clothing, Food and means for providing a living. As a people, we must become producer`s and not remain consumer`s and employee`s. We must begin at the cradle and teach our babies that they must do something for self. We must educate ourselves and our children into the Rich Power of Knowledge......" Condensed from a speech by : The Honorable Elijah Muhammed........ In the Northampton Mass area there is a community called the Pedal People, yes those individuals you see collecting the garbage downtown. ALAS!!! but they are more than just Garbage Collectors ( which they are doing without the use of gas powered vehicles, which we all now know is harmful to our environment.) They are a bunch of beautiful people who have started their own Healthy Community!!!! They have a community garden, a Co-Op Food Market, where they share and distribute Wholesale Natural Foods. These beautiful people even open their doors to the community for a Potluck Dinner every monday night at 7:00 pm.... More to come on the Pedal people....... If you live in the Pioneer Valley there is an article in the "Daily Hampshire Gazette" regarding the homeless issue. Now I am a Homeless Individual and according to the article there will be a Housing Summitt at Holyoke Community College in the Kitteredge Center Peoples Bank Room. The host are the Mayors of Northampton, Holyoke and Springfield Mass..... With speakers from State and Federal governments. WE will see how serious our representives are in addressing our Homeless issue. " I will be there to voice my opinion"........As seen on a T-Shirt worn by a Female Employee of the Haymarket Cafe in Northampton Mass "LABOR CREATES ALL WEALTH"............I also Interviewed two young ladies from Smith College, who also volunteer at the Interfaith Homeless Shelter. Their Names are Estelle and Concetta, when asked what they thought of "the State of the Nation, Estelle responded " It`s a mess, the way we do things, we are in need of major changes. It is atrocious what we do and who we do it for(Nations).......When asked about Race Relations in this Nation, Concetta said"Of course the African Americans have had it worst of all but Americans has been Racist against every Nationality, that has come threw Ellis Island or across the U.S. borders......Why is that?....Why can`t we all just get along .......Until tomorrow.... please dont be afraid to share your views on the blog comments....
