You don't know what I know---nor do you know what devastation has been visited upon my life as I fight from the inside out, yes, I am in the belly of the beast, it is my strongest vantage point...my elder told me to "stick and stay" ..... though where and why I was planted here, seems to be greatly misunderstood, this place is where I am supposed to be, and I am still trying to do what I am destined to do... for those trying to unseat me, even without a folding chair flung out in my defense, no deacons, no nationalists, no soldiers, no freedom fighters, come to my rescue. Only those that have, sought to spitefully misuse and abuse falsely claiming that their actions are to help, when with each contact, a loss occurs--- understand the hat is still up there... eternally tossed in the air, the battle is ongoing.... are you watching and waiting, tossing dead leaves on the embers keeping the fire of those that seek to destroy the community with their ulterior motives of false prosperity for US, when it's really all about aiding and abetting THEM in gaining control, are you for all intent and purpose in your desperate attempt to win or maintain those ill-gotten gains for your own personal comfort and elevation???? Are you helping those adverse to the survival of our people? or are you, in your own special way, joining the fray, tossing in YOUR hat?....black people are under siege, by everyone, even other black people! The tide is running high and flowing, flooding, washing away our existence ---with the turning of the earth, as seasons roll by--- here comes the Tsunami that will annihilate. I, like the little boy with his finger in the d**e, or the one that overcoming many obstacles, swam across the water to help that man fight, I stand against all odds, stressing and straining, holding back just one of the tidal waves, as a force like water, keeps hitting me, that like water, even in only seeking its level erodes away the valuable jewels buried in our soil, wears away at me and my resources. Keep me where the light is, or in this case the blight... It is why I am able to continue this fight.
Did you see the hat, as it went sailing towards the sky, what were your thoughts as it went by? It's up there...keep looking? Oh and please don't forget to grab a chair.
