My People

Who are we?!!!! And what have we become??? Where are the rules, the lines of separation?? Who's your enemy, why can we no longer tell??? You look in the mirror, and pull the trigger. Our enemy is US... My heart cries for those who've walked before us, for those who knew all too well the journey ahead and how necessary their movement and its continuance really were. They watch from above as we spit, deface, and mutilate their dream. "Our people" belong to no one. Who to blame for this loss??? A loss in soul, is only a loss of purpose.? So who??? The Man. No....Where's your mirror.? It's You, you...even I. We're direct culprits of this heinous crime. We stopped requiring of each other purpose and values. We saw the chance to attain and let go of our brother and sisters hand to run for it. Never once looking back to see if the others were keeping the pace. We lost our unity and its given way for only hatred amongst ourselves, death in both senses.. Decadence. I worry. Can we be resurrected?? My doubt's suffocate me. How can that be restored, which was never even recognized as lost?? Our ignorance is secreting the death of a victorious era, a defining generation. Only insuring our own. God smh My people. You're our only saving Grace.

"You look in the mirror, and pull the trigger." This hit me hard, then "We saw the chance to attain and let go of our brother and sisters hand to run for it. Never once looking back to see if the others were keeping the pace." this knocked me out. Great write!
