This is my response to McKinney and Kalief Browder; I wrote this poem. It is called He was Right.




HE WAS RIGHT

Life is unmistakably unpredictable


One minute your here and the next is just a part of someone's year. You try to stay clear of the troubles that be.


However, its hard when Brown is all people see.


I hate the lies and my heartbreaks from seeing the cries. I still wonder why my people are the group that always dies.


They but a price on our life. With no commas in sight. They put a whip on our back so no pride is intact. The wounds have healed


But the scars are forever true. How can you be complete without all of YOU. No one knows our pain or our blues. The only time they see us literally


is when we are on the five o'clock news. All this screaming but nothing is being done. While I guess even justice takes Time-Off from a long run.


But what is a break, when we never received justice in the first place. Our Life being watered down because of RACE.


So, you mean to tell me the color of your skin really decides your earthly end? You mean that justice and equality is all pretend?


Wow! That's hard to believe, but when I really think of it; for something to be born, it has to be first conceived.


And just like Sarah, Abraham wife; I am just too old to believe. Not saying my faith is gone; But I'm tired of the long way home.


Tired of singing for a chariot to take me on. For I thought I was already there? But I guess I was wrong That's just how Life is.


Because like Langston Hughes said I'm a refugee in my own home.

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe. For anyone who has ever grown up in any city in the world, you know summer are boring. Now, ...
