Melancholy and Tired of The Violence

Today my mood is somber as I reflect on the many murders and attempted homicides the North Tulsa community has seen over the past few months.

Wrong place wrong time
Somebody dropped a dime
And retaliation
Caused aggravation to mentalities that weren’t right to begin with.
Someone made a conscious decision to pull a trigger
Maybe they figure the gun will never point in their direction?

The circle of violence must end!

They want us to kill ourselves
Fill those cells
Run and tell that
Ratta tat tat
Curiosity killed the cat
While a list of so-called rats
Spreads like poison through the community.

Do you see what I see?

Another Hearse
Another bible verse
Spoken over one man
Killed by another man
While the other man
Smiles and says
“Well done, son.”

Run, Nigga, run

The threads of our fabric are becoming undone

Unraveled
as somebody’s somebody lays face down on the gravel

While a Judge’s gavel echoes through the hood…
