[currently] in bed looking at the news, wondering, who out there really cares?
my weekend was pretty amazing. i came to my real home by running out of my former one like bat out of hell.i actually left EARLY, imagine that. my ride was short, mainly due to the illegal speed i was involved in. when i got into town, me and neffy tried to do some msfortune work but the planets weren’t in favor of it that day. we got caught up on saturday tho.. along with my laundry. even did a little video (<-- click that) about our adventures in mocha 'lounge & grill' in Harlem.
then yesterday was the african american day parade in harlem. i ended up there unexpectedly but was happy to be there. that is UNTIL i saw little disasters explode everywhere.
mainly- it was the outburst of the too-many-black-people-per-square-foot [and the cops are allergic] syndrome.
*sigh* i saw 3 police officers beating a young guy that was not involved in anything illegal. i wanted to blog about every detail but the fact that no news media even showed highlights of the parade [good or bad] makes me feel like being silent…..
i can’t

i feel you hon
but
if you can manage
id love for you
to recount
what you witnessed
you see
thats how they win
not only by
beating us
physically
but by
us
losing hope
even if
one person
gets something
from the filth you witnessed
i think
thats all
that matters
i hope
the transition
to new york
has been a smooth one
for you
otherwise
