A black man's tears
|
Posted By: LaShonda Redd on August 29, 2005 You know its not everyday you see a black man cry. Unless he know he's going down for something big or he messes up in his own life? Before I left Massachusetts 2 people got murdered where i live. A couple blocks away and when they were putting the bodies in the body bags a father came up and just let go. Dropping to his knees and letting himself go. I know this may sound like who cares, i have never seen a black man cry before and you dont understand how much it hurts to see one cry because in my eyes ever since i was a little girl i have always seen black men and boys as someone strong and bold and straight out do what they need to do to get be in life, the world's strugglers, and you know that kind of thing and when i seen this black man cry because his son was being placed in a body bag it made me cry because i cant understand why a life can be treated so carelessly just because their in a gang or because they live in a certain part of town. R.I.P FATHER TO BE, FATHER NO LONGER, 2 SOULS LOST TO THE WORLD. Take care of yourself and each other ya'll life is too short.
