Why?

Catherine Komp

Today, I received that phone call I never want to receive from anyone. Years ago, I taught in a middle school in one of the worst parts of America. My students lived in a third world country right inside the borders of country that feels it needs to "liberate" everyone else and enslave its own. In my first two years, I had six pregnancies, 2 killings, and numerous wars within my school. It is hard to be a great teacher when you know that your kids worry about eating that evening. In the midst of all those kids I had very few who were motivated and impacted by the power of education. Out of that small percentage, I receive a phone call from one of those kids crying hysterically. In the midst of the crying, I found out that one of my student's lost his mother to a vicious murder. I am attaching the link to the article if you would like to read more about the savage shit that occurs every day in America.

I do not know what is wrong with this country. I would write more about this, but I cannot hold back the tears, so please send your condolences to the family and watch your back. Cause this country is toilet and its only due time before God flushes.

Good morning


Tomorrow is the beginning of another chapter in my life. I am going to begin a journey in my life that I have not faced at any other part of my life.

The Journey:

Min 30 days/ 30 nights

There will be NO sex, drugs, alcohol.

There will be: Meditation, exercising, focusing, goal setting, READING, and soul searching.


I must write throughout the entire process to see what I am facing and dealing with as a travel to my heightened mind.

Today I guess I could explain in a poem:

I have made mistakes; no where close to perfect.

But why do I sit on this island deserted, again.

I stand my position so that I could place my favorite stake

Watching out for the yin to my yang; no give and take.

I must understand that this is best

Don’t stress; that’s useless in this existence,

I should have read it in the pretence of my cerebral cortex

In 1994 I introduced to my favorite drug

Outweighed the thug love and the dodging the black slugs

I was happy to feel these presences in essence

Thought I was the wealthiest amongst the peasants

(Hold on, do you understand that line, this was my thinking most of the time)

I walked the fine line between two dimes at a time.

Thinking nunu had me so subdued,

I ended up on an island on life’s cruse

I would be patient to hold it, console it,

Even foolish enough to think I controlled it

(Hey it’s me again) but I don’t listen to my conscience

Ego told me he was on some nonsense (he’s too damn honest)

I thought I was better man because I had better women

Swimming in the ocean of them, lost and drowning

Not knowing that I was going down when she tasted her on him

30 days to make memories, history… not forgotten

Just take some time to know that I could stop it. (Honest)

The Time to start is now!!! ENLIGHTENMENT*
