Linda Moore Poet I do not know?

History

HISTORY 
Where do we stand in this world today? 
Do we stand as brother's and sister's or as enemies?
We're fighting over blocks, being bloods or crips, should that even matter?
We as people been through enough, or parents, grandparents and grategrandparents lived through what we're calling hell, they lived through slavery, holocaust and so much more.
Millions of people lost their lives either by being beating or the gas chambers.
We are fortunate not to lived through what they had to, they gave us a better life and where's the pride at.
There's no pride of killing each other over a gang, or what color or skin is...
History speaks for its self, and if you really look at it we're destorying what those before us fought so hard for FREEDOM.

Connie Marcum Wong February 7, 2010 at 1:44 AM Linda, Having grown up in the shadow side of L.A. I feel the key is education, starting with prenatal care. How sad that we don't pay our teachers enough to live on, so we lose good teachers every day. I agree with your important message in this poem. Blessings, Connie
