DC's Poetry Corner

by D. C. Cowan

Reach out your hand;
Reach out your hand;
Try to understand.
Can't you see somebody needs you;
You'll never know when you'll need someone too.

Reach out your hand,
Reach out your hand.
Try not to reprimand
Look beneath the body, the mind;
Search the soul and see what you'll find.

What's important to you?
by D. C. Cowan

What's important to you
As you live day by day?
I ask you,
What's important to you,
As you go on your merry way?
I wonder,
What matters to you?
What could be on your mind?
I wonder,
What lesson did you learn?
What truth did you find?

Africana History Fact

Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola

(1937-1998) Nigerian businessman, presidential candidate, and political prisoner.

On June 12, 1993, the popular businessman Abiola won a long-awaited presidential election in Nigeria, only to have the country's military leader, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, annul the election results.  When Abiola declared himself the country's legitimate leader a year later, Babingida's successor Gen. Sani Abacha, jailed him for treason.  As a political prisoner, Abiola became the rallying symbol for Nigerians' democratic aspirations.

Angel Quote

I just listened to the crowd and listened to the music and I thought of
angels and clouds. I thought "I can do this." and just enjoyed myself.

- Michelle Kwan, after winning her third U.S. Figure Skating Championships
