Letters to the President

I see my president cry on national television about babies being shot down by sick white men who would probably be afraid if they were at war. But nobody cries for our young black boys shooting each other down in the streets right here in the nation’s capital just because they are trying to survive the ghetto.

Is this part of the War on Terror or is it part of the black man’s way of life, as he tries to survive in America? I wonder what happened to the 13th Amendment? How long do we fight each other for the crumbs that fall from the table? I think America has cut us off to save itself.

We have young black men fighting and dying in the richest nation of the world because of poverty and at the same time we host the most corrupt and unfair leader in the world being protected in our White House.

My God tells me the last shall be first and the first shall be last. So when you start gun control, start in our neighborhood first .
