God gives your strength.
God gives us love to overcome.
Death, it's tough for everyone.

For a parent losing a child.
It's a rough ride of sadness and sorrow.
When knowing your child won't be around tomorrow?

For a child reflecting back through memories.
It brings tears of joy to know that you were loved.
Especially when you had some good parents?
Yes, some good ones.
Even if they weren't perfect to some?

In your eyes, they were perfect to you.
And that's all that counts.

Yes, death, it's a tough road.

To lose any siblings hurts.
Words of comfort don't ease the pain that much.
It takes time to adapt and adjust.

We all have said I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

But scriptures lay put there is a time and there is a season.
And we aware God does things for various reasons.

Fistfights.
The tools used as a child.
Didn't matter the gender?

Now, youth with guns weak, stupid and dumb.

Just shooting anyone.
They looked at me wrong.
They disrespected me.
Well, this is a tough one.

It's not all about having a dad in the house.
Because some youth have no mom.

They are just weak, stupid, and dumb.

If all you can do is reflect back on those you shot or killed?

Then your life should end in prison or jail.
You alone placed yourself there.

If killing anyone over the color you wear?
Then, like I stated you are weak, you are stupid, you are dumb.

Because life has more important things to do.

Forget following orders of the leader of your crew?

Okay, many of us can admit some whites just stubborn?
Then aren't we all don't matter about our skin tone?
Some whites think the rights for blacks being around a hundred years.

Afraid to acknowledge that not how it is?
Look how long it took to get the Civil Rights Bill that they trying to dismantle.

Now, if Rod Serling or Gene Roddenberry was still alive?
We ask for life's commentary of addressing issues like their show has in different times.

If a vote was held today for whites to switch roles?
They wouldn't, they couldn't all because they realize they had better advantages.

If using the Jim Crow's rules and regulation?
They would fail?
Just being required to wear a mask has exposed them?

They gripe, they complain but they great at coming up with imaginary reasons.

Being a butler or maid would drive them insane.
Following orders from a powerful black man.

We see the males constantly getting shot and killed by the police.

So could you imagine the fifties and sixties with a black police force beaten Satan out of them?
Dogs mauling them for no apparent reasons except they have the power.

Switch roles and some then get the picture.

Scary politicians were afraid to stand up to their people.

We have seen this in Mississippi and Alabama and yes, Georgia too.
Those first two states weren't the only fools.

Black, without is a strong mentality group.
We hardly ever bomb churches.

Yes, we the face of a racist nation.

KKK, their legacy is so great?
And the truth lies in the printed proof.

So we must be shocked?
When conservatives and limited-minded folks cry about BLM?
Who have they killed?
Please, reveal?
Who have they killed?

The fifties and the segregated sixties south region of America in various states?
Is that great?

So of all races--who image is the worst?

Now, all races have a hint of violence down through the various decades.
Yes, we all do.

So these criers with this Supremacy mentality over others?
There is a word that rhymes with a rule.
But to a wise mind, we call you a fool.

Jobs are limited?
So you hear.
Or you under this impression that never having one means you get top pay?

Back in the days of old youth was a hustler.
And drugs weren't the pursuit.

They cut grass and if you running on pride.
Then you must set it aside.

Grass cutting is a competitive trade.
Neighbors will accept a bargain if offered.

If he is charging $35?
You charge $25?
After all, it's business.

But you must apply yourself.

Who remembers?
Once eighteen you got a job?
Or got out?
So sitting around.

If stupidity is taught?
It will be learned.

If a mind is limited?
Then it won't acknowledge the truth.

So Mister Bigot isn't it true?
Inside you is a heart?
The same heart that loves your dad and your mom.
The same heart that loves your whole complete family.
But more than anything on this earth.
Inside you is love?

When your child is hurt?
You show concern.
When your wife in pain?
You do your best to ease it.

So what your problem with a person's color?
Care to explain?

Have you been killed more?
Have you been shot more?
Have you faced Jim Crow laws?

Even to this day, the separate water fountains have folks later.
The water is still the same.
Shall I say clear?
So why are you complaining?

So BLM is a threat to you?
Really?
Oh, I get it.
Many within your heritage once belong to a racist group.

And we ALL get it.
The historical documentary doesn't show the best of you?

Clown, on the Supreme courts and scary juries afraid to convict.
And the same stupid racist politicians within your group.

The Black Panthers once intimidated you.
Must I even mention the Nation and you know who?

It has long been known that only in a pack or weapons?
Do you attack?
And when clap back comes back?

Then you feel folks picking on you.

Now you beginning to see the picture clear?
