Yellow Is the Color of Fear

in the quiet of the night the owls hoot violence erupts and guns do shoot colors become enemy lines that many will cross another random drive by another tragic loss preying on innocent lives in the jungle waking up everyday is a struggle hiding behing dumpsters from the cops the cycle always continues and never stops death is in the air mixed with violence and rape blocks upon blocks covered with yellow tape you say that the drug game is run by the blacks i know for a fact that the white man introduced crack statistics proove that a weak man will drop a dime while a woman will stand up and do the time too be real you must stand up for your rights and be willing to go out with a fight despite the outcome if we believe in our facts and understand the truths no greater power can one hold over the other respect few fear none

Brandy, Walk away. Leave the hate and pain on the sidewalks where you found it. We love you here, and I don;t care what color you are. Your stuff makes me feel guilty for retiring and leaving so much unchanged behind me. Great write. Love, Will
