WHAT WORLD DO I LIVE

What world do I live in? This is the question that has been on my mind for days. Sunday I traveled downtown with by daughter for some shopping. On our way back by EL-train a group of about 5-6 black youth were also on the train. One had bought a pair on green and white Nike shoes each boy had a wad of bills. I told my daughter these are the same boys we saw begging for donations for baseball uniforms for their team. Nice hustle I don't frown on any entrepreneurship. So out come the dice and the nasty language not acceptable. I wanted to say something to them about gambling in public can cost you a night in jail or stop all that cuss 'in. But I was afraid I was afraid of a group of 12 maybe 14 year old black boys. What world do I live in when I fear children ? I saw beautiful young black men imagining what they'd look like as men. But a truly was afraid if I opened my mouth what anger and violence would I meet? So today I thought about a nursery rhyme me and my brother did in Feb about Lil black boys and girls. I'd like to share it with anyone who'll read it help me sort out the madness-what world do I live in?

What are you made of?

If Lil black girls are made of attitude,skin tight clothes and NAPPY hair. Then LITTLE black boys are made of crack cocaine,future gangsta rap lyrics and shoot outs,right? If little black girls are made out to be sexual objects, future crack fiends and baby momma drama. Then little BLACK boys are made of,future crack dealers and dead beat dads. If little black GIRLS are made of being the future hoes, bust downs AND shorties Then LITTLE black boys are made out to be the future pimps and killers. What are you made out of? If little blacks girls are the next"America's top model," and little BOYS are the next,"Lebron James," of the world. Then who will be the doctors,lawyers,team owners, bankers, presidents, mothers,fathers,sisters, and brothers then what will they be? if our eyes are the windows to our souls. Then turn off the TVs. because if they control your eyes, they can control your souls. Protect our children!

What I'm made of!

This LIL black girl is made of thank-you and please, shorts that came to her knees and pressing combed hair, occasionally some braids with beads. That Lil BLACK boy is made of cap'n crunch and hip hop lyrics and shoot outs with the latest video game craze, right? If black girls are made out to be Afrikan queens, future freedom fighters and mothers of our dreams. Then Lil black boys are made of, future proud parents to be. If Lil black girls are made to be the future mothers of black man's seed, soul mates and girlfriends. Then Lil black boys are made out to be gentleman and providers of their communities. What are you made of? Of Lil black girls are the next "Builders of a nation," ( not aired yet still looking for an acceptable station) and lil black boys are the next "Malcolm X," OF THE WORLD. then WHO WILL BE THE PIMPS, HOES, DRUG DEALERS, Gangstarappers, tokens, ballerbabymommadeadbeatdadcrackheadchickenheadN-I-G-G-E-R then what will they be? If our eyes remain shaded behind golden rimmed glasses,the lights will always be out. Because if you can't see the full and complete picture you can't control your destiny. Protect the children-TAKE OFF THE FREAKIN GLASSES.
