Black Magic
I am cocoa bean and vanilla powder. Milk-Chocolate magic aluminum and steel can not contain.
I am Spirit
once tamed
now set free
caterpillar bonds
busted by butterfly wings!
I am Imagination
like a diamond studded dandelion When the wind whispers my name
it refracts and shines bright
right into the drums that keep space and time your ears can not evade my voice!
I am energy. Repeated. Recycled. Reimagined. Reborn!
I am melanin-rising
made tall by the backs of ancestors flanked by a murder of feathers given wings by imprisoned ascendancy!
I am the barefoot horseback rider charged to proclaim
“The revolution is not coming The revolution is here.”
Upon the soles of prophets before me I stand and proclaim
“Black lives matter”
and a ladder of actions
build more
than words.

What Happens To Your Brain When You Stop Multitasking
Digital technology is the culprit that is causing us to doom scroll when tired, disengaged and unmotivated with the content that motivated you to log onto your device to consume in the first place. That is only the beginning. In the modern workplace (and even when filing cabinets were around, I confirmed this with my adopted parents to get my facts right); reading files while you are supposed to be present to the caller on the other end of the phone line is another classic example of multitasking that causes your brain (although adaptable and intelligent) to lose focus and concentration.
