When the Youth Are Continuing to Die By Gun Violence In Kzoo

Gone be a little long, but here’s a little something to think about. You have to be very honest, and truthful with yourself when it comes to situations like this. And then ask yourself the question to how serious and concerned some of our people really are about the these type of tragic acts. That clearly show to be like a plague when it comes to the ongoing Kalamazoo community violence problem.

After reading the story on this Shooting and death of a 22-year-old man and 40-year-old woman. All I could do is just shake my head, because though it is a tragic and a very sad situation. Is it something new about it? In the end it shows to be nothing new when it comes to the growing problem with youth, and the violence in the hood/community.

It just seems like it’s a damn black cloud over that area alone right there on Church and Norway. Why do I say this you might ask? Well, because when I think about the last shooting and death of a young man. Who also lost his life right there in that vicinity a few years ago. How could I not? And to also mention all the other conflicts and death that have arisen and taken place in just that area alone that, i know so very well.

But we also know that, it’s also going on in other neighborhoods/communities and on other sides of town in Kalamazoo as well. Can you see it yet? No? Well, apparently you must not be being truthful with oneself to the real reality, and truth to the matter. Seeing things for what they really are, that black people don’t know how to find a better way to resolve issues that they have with each other.

Another Senseless Shooting Why?

Senseless or or not, due to lack in social and communication skills? Maybe. Is this something new? So, I would ask you, the people of my tone who actually have to live and experience these situations on a repeatedly basis. “Are our people really concerned at all and truly want things to change in their environment/community?” Or do you just continue to scream, and ask for help from the same ones you say you hate until tragedies occur like this one.

It’s very important that you ask self: “What are you doing that helps the community where you reside?” Are you for, and involved with certain activities by engaging in them that you clearly know aren’t so good for the image and your community? Don’t act like some of y’all don’t be all in with the messery within your external environment either. Are you with it, or against? It is a must that one takes a very good look at self, and what your asking for.

And then, if you do the above now ask yourself: “What the hell is really going on?” People especially ours In These Dayz Of Tyme have been, and are very well-known for “BEING WITH THE $#!%S!” How? By engaging in some of the very well promoted things that projects negative images and light.

Living the good ole illusion, “HOOD LIFE” style. Everything is fine until horrible acts take place like this one that happened and now you’re fed up! Takes me back to the beat instrumental/track did called: “Are you Fed Up.” It’s on YouTube hit that hyperlink. Are you? You should.

Other Possible Reasons

Some of our people are not in their right minds do you not know that? You have these dudes running around with guns and drugs throughout neighborhoods. RECKLESS MINDED without a care in the world along with a chip on they’re shoulders filled with hate. PROGRAMMED, full of attitude and music in they’re ears that put’s people in a certain mood, and all this alone.

And yes let me not forget to mention that, it’s all Spiritual. Which is what I see to play much of the biggest part in all of this mess now care to beg to say otherwise? Why is it taking our people to have to experience so much pain along with the suffering, heartache, sorrow, hurt, fear and feeling of hopelessness. For one to finally want the need to wake the hell up!

Realize that, there’s a great chance that, it’s some of our very own people who are so conditioned mentally, and brainwashed. To the point where they can see clearly what is right and wrong, but choose to navigate towards engaging in the wrong by involvement. But expecting different results and outcomes to be good why is that?

You accept, and adopt other peoples ways of living and lifestyles and or welcome all of these things with open arms. Knowing damn well that there’s a clear chance that there will be bullshit that will be tagging right along with it. But you still allow and accept it all for the sake of so-called living your life, “Y.O.L.O!” Because hey, who wants to live a boring life right? 28 year old showed up to a hospital after gunshots were reported in Kalamazoo’s North-side neighborhood Thursday night.

So Who is to Blame?

Let’s be very honest here, is it not showing that our people are doing it to themselves? All our people do is dog one another out, scheme on one another, plot to hurt one another. Rob and take from one another, misguide one another, deceive one another. Poison one another, and let’s not forget kill one another. Even use Facebook to carry on with the madness, but Black Lives Matter right?

Our people are some of the biggest excuse makers in order to do whatever they want to, but don’t the consequence. I know this well because once upon a time, I too was a part of the problems within’ the community. Rather than being one who is a seeker of solutions, but experience is good teacher.

Now, to get back to why I am doing this post. It is said that; this all happen because of a dispute among-st those who live in the same neighborhood? And the picking on of someones little brother. First off, LEAVE OTHER PEOPLE’S CHILDREN ALONE! Unless it’s a grow up thing where children have to be toughened up a little.

Second, STOP TRYING TO BULLY PEOPLE especially children, and there’s a lot of that going on right now. And third, if you have differences with one another and they’re family and you just don’t know how to get along with one another. YOU DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ONE ANOTHER PERIOD! And final, quit violating other people’s space, and right to life!

Where Does It Start

It’s time to stop making excuses to be irresponsible, negligent and careless minded. When it comes to awareness and safety within your own communities in Kalamazoo. Start giving a damn about where YOU have to live, and YOU have to stay. Where YOUR FAMILY ESPECIALLY MOTHER’S HAVING CHILDREN AND WHERE CHILDREN HAVE TO LIVE AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAFELY PLAY.

Stand up, hold your own and be accountable, responsible and take ownership. Stop allowing people access to come and tear down, and destroy what is already struggling for life as it is (Your Neighborhood). As a man, artist and voice. Am I wrong for feeling the way that I feel and expressing what I am?

Taking the time out to type and post today in concern of what’s really going on in the communities in Kalamazoo?

Do you Really Want Things To Change Within’ Your Communities? 

I’ve been touching on and addressing these on going issues. I try to do my part, because I know how this goes, and how it will end if you continue making all these excuses. Some of y’all continue to ignore, aid and abed and choose to only pay attention when you see fit.

Clearly showing your lack of interest and non-involvement by choosing not to engage with me on the things that I post. That is your choice, you can expect it to continue to go on. In the end, I’m a continue to do what I’m doing. Regardless, whether you engage or not. Why? Because apparently, I’m just an artist whose showing you that; there is hope and I do give a damn.

EndNote

So in the end, I don’t think anyone likes the feeling of having to be scared and look over your shoulders. So tell me, why is that? Are y’all really paying attention? Do you really give a damn?

People love to have the freedom of choice. Well, it’s y’all CHOICE to show to give a damn. Not just about yourselves but also yours, and others conditions and surroundings where you have to live, your own City and State too.

How about wanting to learn to be and do better for self and your community. WE ARE THE PEOPLE TOO but it starts with who, KALAMAZOO? 

How important is your love for self and your community?
