{"post":"If all the Black folks in a neighborhood stop drinking and smoking for a month and put that money in a bank account, with agreements of how it would be used such as developing a community cooperative and shopped there, or did business with it. With in 5 years we would start getting reparations. The thing is we wouldn’t need them, but we should accept it anyways.

What you think ?

{"post":"The blunt and the bottle
The road to the first swallow
Is paved with bad choices
Self hating inner voices

Lost souls
With no goals
Or ignorant to the disease
And keep encouraging me

To puff or sip
But these are my lips
Hands and body"}

{"post":"(An unfinished piece) Affirmative Action

The dirt etched into the kitchen floor
From the worn sI’m not using big words today :)s
the contort her feet
That sit by the back door
Most of the time
for the short time
She attempts to relax
inside

With no time
To part water in the bucket it
To clear the floor
She breaks her back to rent
That was dirty
compared to ground that is free
but many get arrested for occupying
The day she moved in
Hard to complain
With the high rent
And housing departments
Still using Covid
As an excuse
For not holding slum lords
Accountable in democrat ran cities
Like Pittsfield, springfield, and Holyoke Ma

I’m not a Republican
But I can’t
Support
Those that don’t support me
Ignoring her
While Affirming
The futures of their
White sisters and daughters
White
Republicans repute
Democrats demolish
The existence of ours
Selling dreams
They can’t afford themselves
On the other isle
Erasing our existence
Nothing left but to accept
The dirt
Ground into the kitchen floor
as part of the original tiles
Affirming that she doesn’t matter
With non action
To hold white landlords accountable
For ran down property
Housing mostly
Black or Latinos
