There is an evil mist among us that has permeated our communities. It's stench wafts through our neighborhoods... We are inundated with images of a struggling nation collapsing in chaos and self-destruction. Reminiscent of the collateral damage of the civil war. The aftermath of this demonic attack will carry to the next millennium. We are blaming one another; we are pointing fingers; we are drawing lines. Did we not see this coming? Did we not sit in movie theaters munching popcorn and watch the big screen? Soylent Green 1973 - Minority Report - 2002... more recently, The Hunger Games. Life does indeed imitate art because the "powers that be" will seductively present their agenda in a guise that is more suitable for your palate... So where am I going with this?

I refused to vote for Trump. I despise both Clintons. I respect my ancestors who died for my right to vote. I voted "green" as a protest vote. I just couldn't bear the thought of voting for the lesser of two "massahs." It hurt my heart to hear my people say that one candidate wouldn't "hurt" us as much as the other candidate... So ultimately I, and others like me, are the reason Trump is in office! WTFudge! This is 2017 people! Lest we not forget!!! Through several democratic and republican administrations, BLACK LIVES MATTER has found its way to the forefront! So... here's where I'm at...

I will not be intimidated for my political views and beliefs, as it is my inherent right as an American to have such. I will continue to serve my God at the church of my choice, with no regard to religious preference, as long as my God is worshiped. I hold to my opinion as an individual with the wherewithal to have such an opinion. Finally, I will never concede anything just to "fit-in" and gain acceptance by anyone.

So, there you have it..,

As I sit down facing my reflection in the mirror, I mindless remove my makeup. My mind drifts back on my day. I hear the sound of his car entering the garage. I grab my robe and make my way to open the door. I stand there watching as he fumbles for a minute and grabs his briefcase. I hold the door as I smile... this classic, elegant man of mine. Black on black coupe. Tailored suit, handmade shoes, designer briefcase. Accentuated with the "purple label" tie I bought him as a birthday gift so long ago... yes, that's right I'm a shameless member of the "bee-hive."

This man of mine. He still makes this old diva's heart skip a beat❤️

The definition of a "Creep" is an annoying, perverted individual and used most often when describing a man.

A creep presents himself as disenfranchised individual. He lacks history. No family connections. It's he against the world. He is a despicable lowlife who thrives by sucking the life from weak souls.

This is accomplished in many ways. It's slow and deliberate. When it's done you are a shell of your former being. There is an overwhelming sense of void. It's effect lasts a lifetime and touches everyone who loves you.

If your relationship leaves you feeling bullied and seduced at the same time... chances are - you're with a creep.
