Kindness


When accepting a kindness .... maybe stop and think....

yeah it’s free , or is it really .

America is a land full of people from many different shades

of circumstance.

 

Its not about color , it’s not about education , it’s not about 

opportunity ... He’ll yes it is. What I’m saying is that our perspective has 

been welded into our souls by a variety of people and also

institutions. 

 

Myself , there was no knowledge about Chief Parker and the reign 

of his LAPD.... South central was worse than the Deep South .

Thing is , one can know but never understand. 

 

I try try to be kind and say the right things ..... Mostly , I completely

get it wrong.  Thing is ....... we’re just some dirt poor potato farmers .

Our music rocks hard though . We drink hard and love hard.

Its a hard life to live . You get it back if  you give.

Hey , it’s been a couple years in this site . Right now I’m just settling down and am going to work on getting out a better product . The stuff that is obviously trash will probably be booted. I really have no beef with anyone .... A lot of what I write is about working out a particular demon . A lot is about trying new methods based on the feedback on the poems . .
