And 2Morrow

First and foremost, Congrats to the Green Bay Packers for winning Super Bowl XLV!!!

And I also want to express my extreme gratitude to both the NY Knicks and the Boston Celtics (my favorite teams) for both bringing home wins yesterday, as well, kicking my week off to a great start. And I hope everyone else can say the same.

Today's blog for Sheshena's Secret Locker is another preview from Sheshena's debut novel Secrets Unveiled 2nd Edition.

Today, the blog is about an excerpt used in the beginning of the novel that was taken from the great and late Tupac Shakur's "The Rose That grew From Concrete," a collection of poems written by Tupac Shakur between 1989 to 1991. The excerpt was taken from the poem "And 2Morrow," and was as follows:

And 2Morrow

Today is filled with anger

Fueled with hidden hate

So in celebration of Black History Month, the blog will feature the poem in its entirety today.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:

 

And 2Morrow

Today is filled with anger
Fueled with hidden hate
Scared of being outcast
Afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants 2 face
Nightmares 2 humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
Violence in the air
Children bred with ruthlessness
Because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
But the pressure never stops
gnawing at my sanity
content when I am dropped
But 2morrow I c change
A chance 2 build a new
Built on spirit intent of heart
and ideals based on truth
And 2morrow I wake with second wind
And strong because of pride
2 know I fought with all my heart 2 keep my dream alive

 - Tupac Shakur,

The Rose That grew From Concrete
