Growing old

Growing old doesn’t stop for no one or anybody we all will grow old but some of us will have to got through more then others the struggle for education prosperity and love was inside young blacks at all because the negativity was surrounded by them because of this situation it made it hard for families to survive. (Baby Suggs) was a woman that many scars from slavery and it caused her so much pain that she had flash backs of her struggles which made it hard for to carry on life an be happy.  Pursuit to happiness was in a slave mind set for them to be able to walk  where they wanted and free and not held  captured from being free.  Our people has suffer from defeat and also evilness to you have over stand for you understand how blacks made it through slavery. They overcame rape hardship hateful words and derogatory language. The need for love was needed more than ever and there wasn’t none being express amongst the slave at all they were tortured and hung and burned that would hurt me mentally just thinking about that to know are lives meant nothing to nobody are freedom was destroy, and are minds were forcefully used. To have life be treated like a dog and not value is demoralizing and defeating in all aspects of life. The blood that was shed and the tears that fell on the ground and the separations from families made mothers cry while families continue die. Poem the strength the love an power misused and made families leave the young the misled was heart broken by no love and no guidance wish there was a moment of silence but not in the violence   today we riot when here another brother was  but not when another brother is taken by another brother when does the change take place and when it does will it impact the society like it should or will it even impact the hood feeling lost to this odd position how can the change take place to stop this dramatize media from eating  us alive and what are ways we can  the mind setting of are young ones, to make sure they have the best self sufficient life style but only time well tell in this corrupted world we live in.
