My People

My people are we just going to sit down and let society and self oppression strip away our freedom?

Or are we going to stand up and fight for the things that our four fathers died and shed blood for ?

Because, they are placing many of our young brothers and sisters in imprisonment. Because, we are so caught up in self-pitty and we are constantly saying to ourselves that we can't do better.

But how do you know if you can or can not do any better if you don't try?

Because, if don't start trying and start paying attention to what is going on in our society and politics we will be right back into slavery.

It does not take going to jail or prison to find God or an education. If you want to you could do those things on the outside.

Oh! But then the questions arise . Did you want to find God or and education while you were on the outside?

Or, did you plan to continue in the devil's chamber and have ignorence as your neighbor? On the other hand was it until you got caught?

Do not let society and people who mean you no good predict who you are or who you will be.

Find your way to sucess contrary to what society, stereotyping, and some people say. You don't have to suceed through selling drugs, stealling, fighting ,and shoting one another.
You can achieve sucess through finding God, becoming educated, getting a job, and becoming a responsible member of society.

Eventhough you might have to start out on foodstamps, wic, and a government check or Section 8. That doesn't mean that you have to stay on it !

Real talk...

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
