An Observation

So what will become of the young nigga, the triggaman, using a gun like he's got a dick in his hand?

Thinking he can manuever through life with limited vision, drug peddlin, less education, settling for land that belongs to the other man? 

What will be his legacy to himself and his own? 

What will be his contribution to the black throne?

He stands on the corner with white tees or blue or red, walking around with nothing in his mind except how to increase his street cred. 

Being a blight in a home where no one is every present even when home, the downside of a fatherless home. 

It isn't to say that having a father in the home provides a stable place to live, if the man in the position is too distracted with other shit.  I mean it is what it is. 

An imbalance where women are raising young black men to be men.  In past times, this would not be in question. 

 But there are too many women that have internal transgressions.  Broken dreams, bitterness seems to over take the logic of what should be common sense on how to raise a son. 

So his father left you, and you weren't ready to have him leave?  Get off your ass and roll up your sleeves. 

There is work to be done, and you have to keep moving.  The problem is the lack of direction and breaking free of the internal struggle within. 

If your father was a bastard, or never present, and your mother was trying to be young in her actions and her head, and you had to find creative ways to stay sane and keep fed. You are a victim of your set, and you will trip. 

How can you be expected to have a partner in your life, that isn't an offshot of your own internal pain and strife? 

I have a friend whose daddy wasn't in.  She grew up re-arranged.  She changed her self - image. 

When she looked in the mirror the side of self seen, was always a type unspoiled never emotional or trusting. 

She was consistently attracted to power and money.  In a sense quite an irony. 

The one thing she lacked was the love of a man, that could balance her emotionally and paid attention to her energy. 

So time and time again she would get hurt, by these powerful men.  And write it off as if she fired them. 

There are so many women that are untrue to themselves.  They findit easier to change their self - image into a fantasy, a gimmick to mimic. 

Well, let me stay on topic, because that is another story. 

But it goes to show how important a mother's influence and love can be. We speak about solutions, and deploy them regularly in our community.  Through the church, schools, community centers as far as you can see. 

It will take a change of behavior and the illusion of hope dispersed throughout the community. To create another social program to give subsistence with no education or training, is a waste of time and money. 

Young niggas are killin with regularity. 

No conscience, no sense of community, rockin on the block and creating a constant state of calamity. The ramifications that accompany this blight in our community, will increase if a hybrid solution is not found quickly.
