Killers born naturally like, mickey and mallory
I have remained voiceless on the tragic Derrion Albert killing cause this aint "news". Its not new. It's is not the breaking story of our existence. It's the breaking story to yours cause you refuse to see the truth. There are Derrion Alberts everyday. Multitudes of them. Kid got shoot 8 times in the chest close up. 'Cause another kid wanted his shoes, the non-existent money in his pocket. That Derrion Albert was well liked, loved, and a top student.
Tears me apart that we are tearing ourselves apart. But how can we point to the finger at the natural born killers. We made them. They model us. We now Emmit Till each other.
Derrion Albert, his story has already been played, Menace 2 Society, Boys in the Hood. These were just not mere fictitious depictions to entertain your mind and put you at ease once the credit started rolling and every thing that faded to black was over. This is REALITY. What each generation of youth have had to survive.
Whats the underlying culprit to the tragic state of affairs: we have lost our sense of "WE" of "US". It's all about me. The focus is on the self. The "I'm going to get mine" mentality. We are not disconnected, we are one. But we continue to perpetuate the conditioning of our lost state of oneness.
Little black gal that made it up out of the hood. But I aint forgot about the little black boys and girls that never would
