Maya Angelou Still I Rise
“Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s miraculously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise. “
Maya is also the author of such books as Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now, and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
About me
Hello, and welcome to Your Knowledge is Power by me, Greg S. Carroll.
I created this blog as a way to inspire, activate and empower your mind to think outside the box.
I am going to share things that are making a positive impact on my life with whomever is ready to open their mind and ready to wake up their spirit. I hope that you will share some of the content with your friends, your family and your community. I realize that some of the ideas and concepts I subscribe to, you may not. And that is okay. Those of you that get it will get it, and those of you that don’t, won’t.
Enjoy, Share and most of all Be Yourself!
