Black Mirror By Adam Spells, Prisonersolidarity.org Jan. 16, 2007 They as in them, him is who we only tend to see when we point. Then point out the fact that my reproductivity has been ceased for a year, another year, plus 4 years, so that I can no longer produce a soldier to stand up and fight. I find myself in a constant state of analization,analyzing the struggles of my ancestors who came before me. Those who have created the road less traveled. Hard work! I am me, theoretical, ingenious, curious of the whos and whys. Past tenses, but presently wondering how I speak with such a loud voice to so many empty seats… Cold hearts and restricted black men. If you feel youve ever risen, that time has come to rise again Past and beyond the laid out adversities of acceptance, never regretting the extra step, or should I say the last step that should have been taken to introduce You and We, to another step forward. Into the beautiful and luminous lights of Peace. At least, momentarily. But youve chosen. And I took the road often traveled with over-cracked pavements, selling crack to and amongst black babies who lack, maybe, the development of positivity because of your feeble dreams of sounds, fast cars and speakers, instead of listening to the speaker speak of the disasters of your actions. All of the decisions made before you even knew that you didnt know you. Oh misguided one. Selfish one. Though Ive sometimes been misquoted in my creative efforts to dismiss the durance of our youth. You sit quietly in denial, knowing the harsh truth! You are a contributor to our demise!
