What better day to diiscuss the scourge that has affcted this land? Easter Sunday. A day when alleged christians throughout the world acknowledge the RISEN CHRIST and allegedly celebrate and demonstrate an appreciation for the sacrifice that was made for the world on the cross. An unselfish act that was filled with forgiveness for us through the sh…

Never Defeated 1:59

2M ago1:59

1:59

"Never Defeated" is another testament to the resilience of my people. More importantly, it highlights what everyone, especially those declared as lesser than, by those who are seemingly hell-bent on returning US, and all deemed as unworthy, to that place where they are salivating to ensure we return ...beneath their feet. There are those who never …

Remnants 1:48

2M ago1:48

The content is the same. Simply trying what I have learned. A slow process...BUT GOD!! Hey, that realization applies in all aspects of this life...doesn't it??? The correlation with what is occurring all around us is unmistakable to a piece that I published back in June of 2024. "Remnants" is a piece related to how America has allowed, NO INVITED, …

Purpose 2:12

2M ago2:12

2:12

We all have one... "Purpose" or two, three, maybe even a limitless number of things that we have "been called' to do. There is one thing of which I am certain. Simply because we feel that we have fulfilled that one thing for which we are certain we were called, does not mean that there are not other "PURPOSES" for us to fulfill. I am aware that I h…

Desensitization 2:55

2M ago2:55

2:55

It is becoming easier and easier for many of US to undergo a "Desensitization" in light of the numerous affronts to our human and civil rights. One of the primary goals of what is occurring now is for US to become numb in hopes of US totally accepting what is being perpetrated. If you have considered giving up , then in blunt terms, someone needs t…

I must say that NONE of what we are witnessing surprises me because I have been made privy to it through the inspired words that I have shared with you all over the last 4 years, and now at the beginning of my 5th season.

Who You Traveling With 2:50

3M ago2:50

2:50

Isolationism- it's being promoted on a national level and the entire mindset of what can be attained through individualism is being promoted even to our kindergarteners. I wonder what is to become of this nation and our youth if this individualistic mindset is left to grow -unchecked. "Who You Traveling With" is a piece that flowed from my fingerti…

Look to the Hills 2:16

3M ago2:16

2:16

Well, I continue to be lead to compose these pieces and I have every intention of remaining obedient. I was inspired to write this piece due to the tremendous amount of angst that has been created by a federal government that was created to serve its people. ANGST THAT I WITNESSED FIRSTHAND and which impacted a close family member. "Look to the Hil…

The correlation with what is occurring all around us is unmistakable to a piece that I published back in June of 2024. "Remnants" is a piece related to how America has allowed, NO INVITED, the actions that are now overtaking seemingly every aspect of our lives. We have a choice.

The Fears of Slippage 1:24

4M ago1:24

1:24

In my opening I refer to white men as the one common obstacle to 4 specific movements. Their opposition has become even more prevalent since they opened the barn door and welcomed the personality and mindset of their current leader into office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. "The Fears of Slippage" identifies the various movements that White Men have …

The Spirit Snatchers 2:30

4M ago2:30

2:30

Black History...it runs from January 1 thru December 31...EACH and EVERY YEAR. Unfortunately, all the sweat, tears, and YES, BLOOD that our ancestors exhausted to simply get US to the point of where we always felt we belonged is now AT RISK of being erased...swept away by the actions of those that possess PURE and UNADULTERATED HATRED. And...IT IS …

Rapid Decline 1:50

4M ago1:50

1:50

Some may find joy that this place called the UNITED STATES of AMERICA is experiencing, to put it mildly, a rough patch. Some may laugh at those who consider this a rough patch and will extol many of those things that they deem as long ovverdue. "Rapid Decline" was inspired during the waning stages of the first administration of the person now occup…

Put a Penny on the Needle 2:34

5M ago2:34

2:34

This is an old piece and if you are of my age I KNOW you can relate to the title. As a child I clearly remember being asked to move the arm of the record player so that it would no longer play in the same groove...REPEATING THE SAME TUNE OVER AND OVER, AGAIN!! Do you remember? Oftentimes, as I became older, I was asked to ... "Put a Penny on the Ne…

"Seeing Them, Seeing Me" 1:41

5M ago1:41

1:41

The New Year, and several weeks prior to the dawn of 2025 has found me conducting a great deal of introspection. I have found that I have been overcome with thoughts of my ancestors and the multitude of issues that they had to overcome simply to exist. Their external and internal struggles-I oftentimes FEEL THEM to the point of tears flowing uncont…

Hope 1:53

5M ago1:53

1:53

At the outset of a new year it is evidenced oftentimes through the multitude of resolutions that pour forth. We are filled with various aspirations to achieve this or that special milestone that has eluded us over the years. Oftentimes, those milestones resurface after we find ourselves reminiscing about those things that seemed to have never come …

6M ago1:50

1:50

Another piece written while vacationing and looking out over the hustle and bustle of persons going about their daily lives in Bangkok, Thailand. In this city of 12 million, it seems that there are 24 million cars, motorcycles and vespas. Each, transporting individuals with independent lives along multitudinous paths-in search of "that thing" that …

Strength, it is going to take all we have. More importantly, it is going to take US, as a group, remaining faithful and growing our faith in spite of all with which we may find ourselves confronting. We must remember that we are cut from... "a Different Kind of Cloth" and that it was not birthed through some type of magic. It was nurtured from our …

"Staying the Course" 2:17

7M ago2:17

2:17

Yes, after the election a great number of US felt a palpable angst. An angst that in many instances could not be put into words. Now that I have had time to digest this situation more fully, I am left to express the following... TRUST GOD... and do what he has uniquely positioned each of us who profess the KINGDOM to do...PRAY!!! Pray for EVERYONE.…

"She Looks Like Me" 2:48

7M ago2:48

2:48

I composed this piece on last year, just prior to the January 20, 2021, presidential inauguration. The euphoria during that time was palpable. One of US was ascending to the second highest office in the land. There was a "run" on "chucks" and every visible neck adorned a string of pearls. However, since that time there have been concerted attempts …

'It's in Here Somewhere" 1:19

9M ago1:19

1:19

As men growing older, we oftentimes view many things with the lens that was available to us during our youth-our younger years. Specifically, we attempt to treat the aches and pains that sometimes bombard our bodies in the same manner as we did when we were younger. However, we now often find that which was a minor pain yesterday seems to stick aro…

"Let it Go" 1:45

10M ago1:45

1:45

Allow GOD to be GOD!! Once you have given it over to HIM, do not continue to relive those things, those actions that caused you to not be the person that HE intended. "Let it Go" is a testament to what I personally experienced before I was able to show myself some grace. The grace that HE had already bestowed upon me even as I allowed issues of the…

"Write My Story" 2:16

11M ago2:16

2:16

Oftentimes we find ourselves being tortured by that someone who we can never escape...OURSELVES!! We try all sorts of techniques, self help, mentoring, therapy(Black folk Aint NOTHING wrong with therapy...from a trained professional), and more to forgive ourselves of past occurrences. I have a suggestion. Turn over the steering wheel and ask the au…

What we have comes and came at a cost. It cost us tears, sweat, and more importantly LIVES!!! All of which are the currency(ies) that thrust US into a position to be able to participate within this experiment So...

We allowed them to reach this point. This critical juncture. This space in time where there are many among them that are hell-bent on returning to a time when WE are afraid to even make eye contact. or remain on the sidewalk instead of stepping aside and allowing them to pass. We have to ask ourselves if we are responsible due to indifference or a …

"Rooted in Love" 2:28

12M ago2:28

2:28

Father's Day....that day when the feelings of those who seek to convey their true emotions oftentimes falls flat; bereft of what is truly intended and what is deep within one's heart. More likely than not, that recurring gift of a necktie, socks or handkerchiefs are used as a symbolic gesture to express those words that seem to never find life-seem…

"I Witness" 2:28

12M ago2:28

2:28

So many that resemble us, those of the WELL-KNOWN variety are now seemingly selling their souls...selling US out in order to further their aspirations of continuing or furthering their fame. Do not come at me with the age's old mantra of ...we are not a monolith, because I ain't going. It's amazing how you are hopeful, prayerful even, that we act a…

"Over Exposure" 1:34

I see you; WE SEE YOU, now the question is indeed, DO YOU EVEN CARE? Your actions are being repeated and obviously there is an air of unconcern regarding the "OVER EXPOSURE" that those of a similar ilk are encountering. For instance, look at what has now been exposed in my hometown of Jackson, Mississippi and its' surrounding area. Persons that wer…

This piece illuminates what pervades the mind and illustrates the wicked desires of MANY who seek to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. It is now time out for dancing around the subject and possessing fear that speaking out will only further foment the hatred that has been systematically loosed in the last several years. A hatred that was seemingly under co…

"Garbage In" 1:30

1y ago1:30

Let's see ...heretics continue in their perpetual quest to diminish and adulterate THE WORD. Racists, who think they are not RACISTS, continue to revise and diminish history by proffering ideas that slavery, inherent human and civil rights should not be granted to all people, especially BLACKS. Revisionists seek to ban long accepted reading lists, …

"Twisted Recall" 2:03

1y ago2:03

...and may I also add the changing of definitions in order to create false equivalence. For example, look into how the definition of racist has so dramatically changed, and to whom it now applies. However, I remember. That is why it is incumbent upon US to teach our youth the stories of their ancestors; Those whose shoulders on which we stand. If w…

"Flutter", the initial episode of the fourth season, that's right the fourth season of The Spoken Word with Slater Hayes.

All I can say is that there is NO BETTER piece with which to end my third season. This piece, my initial venture into podcasting, spoke, and continues to speak, to the political events that are occurring, RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. In some ways I have become disillusioned. Disillusioned that so many of US have decided to become quiet, OR ACCEPTING, of …

The abstract nature of this piece was written JUST AS I WAS INSPIRED to write it.
