Mama Loves yuh !

All the senseless killings in our community.  I have a problem with that.  I remember hearing of a shooting over twenty years ago in Brixton, when gun crime in our community was unheard of, now we have become immune to it.  

Someone once said to me “They have nothing, so they die for nothing!”

Right there I have a problem with that, we need to show them that they have way more then they think.  They have my Love and belief that better days will come for them, if only they could pause a while and see the pain and destruction they are causing.

I use to get so hung up about the reports, always looking for a link, ( bad boy, gang related, drug related, feud) or anything.  My fear has always been the whole randomness of it all and getting caught in the crossfire.  Well that seems to be happening more and more.  I will write about this again, and no doubt I will update this page again.  This subject and my views on it will never be exhausted, I want to know everything about it and why these senseless killings are still going on.

Here’s a poem I posted on the 28th February  on FB

#27 Postal Wars

You are expected to defend your home

When your home are on the streets

That's an alliance that you cannot beat

When you are protecting a zone

That does n’t even belong to you

You can refer to it as Your Manner

Claim those who originate from there

Have a certain swagger

But you would be lying

They have nothing

That distinguishes them from any other

So they claim the streets as they’re own

Cordoning off imaginery zones

You cant go there

We dont know you

You will be slewed

Have you been invited in?

Is there someone you know here?

They roam around in packs

Waiting for the next attack

They've got a reputation to uphold

You cant have any and any man walking through your zone

That's a major disrespect you know

An as-semblance of family life

They are all looking for Dad

Someone to watch out for them

Give them what they never had

The loyalty runs deep

Secrets you take to jail

You roam the streets

As you are unable to sleep

With these secrets you have to keep

Yes a few innocents will get caught up along the way

No one is innocent

Belonging to a gang

Is the only way

Pledge your allegiance

Pledge it today

We can protect you

Then you can go on your way
