BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE The Diary of Pink Pearl Continues: Im Wide Awake and Born Again! THE ULTIMATE PREENING MACHINE Copyrights by Jes Fuhrmann 2013 All Rights Reserved We finally make our departure as I preen under the warm sunlight upon the ultimate tanning machine while it carries us over the heat of the long pavement home while I listen to the delicate, African-American voices of the angels behind the speakers. “With music by our side to break the color lines… Let’s work together to improve our way of life.” the delicate, adamant lady sings out. “Join voices in pro test to social in just asss… A generation full of cour-age. Come forth with me…” she angrily calls forward, seeking to unite the world for an eager cause. “People of the world today… Are we looking for a better way of life?” she wonders as I lift my tail to preen underneath. “We are a part of the rhythm nay shun, people of the world unite!” she repeatedly begs, attempting to build her army. “Strength in numbers we can get it right one time!” she states with defiance. “We are a part of the rhythm nation!” the sweet lady pleads, attempting to change the world, one musical, beating lyric at a time. “What does it mean?” I ask, lifting my head briefly to smile at Honey as she ensures our ride carries us safely home. “What?!” Tanzania asks, jumping off her knee as she forages for a treat on the empty seat. “What does waf mean?” she questions, nibbling on the large, dry yellow biscuit she steals from inside the open, plastic bag. “Né shun…” I carefully annunciate as Honey focuses on the safety of our slow drive down the tree-lined avenue. “I domph know…” Tanzania responds, her small, sharp, black African beak full as she bounds carefully across the black center column to return to the safe spot between Honey’s knees to finish her snack. “Maybe people are born here and now they’re ashamed of what’s become of it!” she ganders, seeking a resolution to the complex, political situation at large.
