Danger! Danger!

I take each step precise, hard, and aggressive because in this life things can become a more progressive situation – pushing past people with no hesitation – ready to ride or die for the dedication. Because of the type of anger I possess when facing a complete stranger – just to show him I’m harder with caution tape screaming, DANGER! DANGER! Can all this attitude be put inside because mom used a hanger? So, I try to understand my mind being young and, now charged with a gun, my life is deep and dark – I’m an African American with a heart – equipping myself to become a little more smart. Knowledge is key, bullseye focus on the target – steady and hold the dart.

To the youth, focus on our footprints – when we leave this earth what do we want to leave behind? In light of our past, we must keep pushing because we too have our future and are valuable.
