To live, Is to understand Life!!

You know the one thing you learn as a child in these streets, is something no one other than the ones who live out there in these streets, is that someday if you make it past all the drive by's, the violence, you have to grow up. But you know what else, kids like me in the streets, who grow up in dirt, crime, killings, drugs, violence, prostitution, decease, is that the future probably will never come. America is not the enemy. The world as a whole is built on one thing, power. Just think if the world was still in the trade era, where cultures traded the highest in rich commodities to gain power, then we would be like the Romans of the renaissance, fighting over fields and the countries that supplied the best of it. Killings, Gangs, the small acts that the media push to be the main focus, is crazy. We as a human race have to see beyond what we see with our own eyes sometimes. If a man walks up to you and hands you a million dallors and walks away with no explanation, will you take the money and run. The dilemma there is will you survive long enough to spend it. Will the hoods, the streets like Venice California, to the mean streets of eastern Africa, ever breed peace, hell nah, unless you do what they have been doing to certain streets like Venice, Lock us minority up,Black and Brown, Put us all in one Cage, and feed us a dream to fight for, meanwhile while we are locked up in our kennels, they build great scenery to prosper in. The way the world works is something I learned through having the opportunity to see others live out that fantasy of making it through what politics call crime, and see the cycle, the game. I was able to go to the funerals of some of my friends, Hispanic and Black, and see how the gang bangers understood the deal they were dealt, while others wondered why? I don't understand sometimes why just because my people, Black and Brown gang bang, that stupidity runs through ever once of our blood. Rebellion, that's not it either. The need to want better, see better, have better, seek salvation, now that's why we pursue every avenue possible and take penitentiary chances. Martin Luther King said it best, and it is because of him, and the way he alone died, why there will never be another him. We are not idiots or afraid, we just know we cant win unless we all get on my page together. Peace.
