The violence that exists within the community is sickening
to me. We live in a time in which money is hard to come by, where “that’s not
my business” is the mentality, and peace
is even harder to find. The people that should be working together to improve
things are the perpetrators. You are brothers and sisters, bonded by time and
blood. I feel nothing but sorrow at the news of another young one being killed
but, I am never going to give up hope that we can be and do better. I know it
may be nearly impossible, but we can make things better by holding each other
accountable. I personally can’t support anyone that sees wrong and won’t do
anything about it. No, I am not your sister if you don’t love your people. We
have time and attention for everything but when these things happen, everyone
is sad but you see wrong going on every day and it’s always ok until it affects
you. It’s not. We need to destroy and rebuild!
Make public servants work, if you see someone breaking in a
house, call the cops, if you hear a gun go off, call them. Go to meetings. Do
something other than shake your head and saying it’s a shame. I am sick and
tired of being sick and tired.
Talk to our young people. Let them know they are loved. Let
them know they are needed. Let them know you care. Stop trying to be their
friends. You need to maintain a level of respect with them and stop turning a
blind eye to what they do or have done wrong. No the mentality that exists is
not totally on our shoulders but we are the only ones that can change our
condition. Wake up! RIP to the lost lives in the streets! Stop the violence!
