Claudia's response to Takiras poem, Bleeding Heart

Response:
This is such a powerful poem! It seems to flow from your heart and I can tell you feel deeply about the struggle of African-Americans in our society. You put words to a concept many of us only see from the outside looking in. This is not a “pretty” poem, nor do I think it was meant to be. You point out the realities of life for a people that extend from generation to generation. Hopefully this can change in our lifetime. I would love to share this with the troubled teens I work with. I think they could relate and it would open up a positive dialogue. Thanks for sharing, it is wonderful. Claudia Blaize
