The Path of Totality
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Eroding tireless queries, the layers regenerate, as does the
crustacean's secret.
Lifting one’s head above the horizon, unworthiness acclimates;
intimidating the understanding of that which eludes grasp.
Perhaps, intrigue subtracts the splendor from tranquility as
stellar dreams reveal themselves with stark precision. Alignment may be
eventual, but it's the Mother of Totality who brings forth all gifts.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.

“stellar dreams reveal themselves with stark precision” is a line I liked Lamar, and this made me think about the sun as a powerful force and life-giver.

I especially loved the line - it's the mother of totality that brings all gifts. It's a powerful statement. Excellent acrostic, Lamar!
A compelling acrostic with a contemplative tone! Very nice!
Well-wrought! Mother of Totality!

Quite stunning Lamar, and really powerful celestial feel about it. Great interpretation of the brief.
