We are losing too many to the streets … The violence against each other only plays in the hands of those who seek the destruction of Blacks and others who have been deemed inferior … As you are divided, you can be controlled … Talk to the Gangbangers, and wannabes … Enough already!
Bullets shot into a crowd, men, women, children, all potential victims, ducking, praying, that these mis-guided bullets pass by them and not in them… BLACK ON BLACK CRIME: Can’t be denied any more … Body count too much, hurt and maimed too much … Senseless too much… Daily shootings infesting some neighborhoods, Police presence only present to put up the yellow tape… Investigate, solving and resolving doesn’t get much light when the victims are Non-White. It has become a routine in some neighborhoods to duck at any sound that sounds like gun fire… Not paranoid, not scared, just enough sense to realize that Black on Black Crime is out of control... Gang beef, “You owe me money beef”! … “I don’t like your colors beef”! Saturate our streets… “Snitches get stitches,” locked in the mind behind most Seeing Eye Crimes in the neighborhood... Hear no evil, See no evil, Say nothing about the evil … Keep that mouth shut or backlash or whip ass will surely follow… Forget that the bullets wounded or killed an innocent child or person… Forget that it could have been your relative, your child, your family member. BLACK ON BLACK CRIME: Angry misguided missiles disguised as people, have been killing and wounding more of their own kind with impunity, without fear of retribution, and more than the History of the Klan… No need to fear cowards in White Sheets, and you better watch your back on these sometimes deadly streets… No need to worry about thorough investigations unless you step out that zip code where things are under control…. BLACK ON BLACK CRIME: A stray bullet or intended bullets can take a life. More programs will not stop Black on Black Crime… More Police won’t stop it either. Unless Black people decide themselves to confront themselves about why we won’t tell on someone who only raises hell in the neighborhood… Someone who has hurt and maimed before … Then Black on Black Crime will continue to be the number one pain on our life’s menu… Tired of the robberies, the stealing and break-ins, tired of seeing the fear in the faces of the elderly who tremble in every step,until they reach the safety of their home… Tired of sirens blaring and cops running in and out of the neighborhood searching for witnesses to a crime where the innocent can’t be ignored by the media… We have to stop blaming the White folks for our self-induced genocides… Take back your neighborhoods, there are many good people still there who can’t afford to move, but would like nothing more. We as a people have to check each other and remember that we are lost sisters and brothers who have been pre-programmed to NOT recognize one another… As of these words Shots are being fired and someone is screaming, while death is beaming with joy… Malik Canty ©Word Bird |
