Code of Silence

The code of silence, unwritten rules, existing in gang culture, even over common laws. You don't see or hear anything, you don't say nothing at all, otherwise your labeled (Nark), and these people will all know who you are. You will be heckled and threatened, even run out of town, you'll be forced to change statements, because it's not just you who will go down. Your family, your friends, everyone you know, they'll pay the price, if you don't change your mind. A (Nark) is way up there, on a gangs hit list, they'll be no where it hide, not in this country anyway. So think of this, when you see something you weren't meant to see, is doing the right thing, is cracked up as it's meant to be. You may have a hero complex, even being just in what you want to do, A warning about what I know, that decision, usually doesn't always effect you. M.Mahauariki © 2008
