I told y'all how I hate Xmas. It ain't out of no Bah Humbug Scrooge shit--you know what it is, how crime and craziness shoot up. How all the folks who ain't gonna have no good Xmas start fighting, drugging, kidnapping people from shopping centers and raping and killing them, acting up. Well, I was not disappointed. This Xmas has been really hell. Started out with the report that St. Louis was one of the top five dangerous cities in America--the Mayor denied it. Is he on crack? From our toney suburbs to our ghettos to our old folks homes, to our parks you can't go nowhere without looking over your shoulder. Nelly owns this pad that looks like it isout of Scarface in one of the toniest places in town--somebody tried to break in while folks was there! They made everybody get on the floor in one of the most exclusive white restuarants in town and robbed them. Been shooting the police and getting shot. In My Hood we have come to the end of some sort of Gang War (always has been one going on or the oher since the 60s) where our sleep was shattered by all sorts of gunfire. A neighboring family moved in the dead of night just got the hell out and left a for rent sign in the window. A lady was carjacked in front of her house And so on and so on. I was sitting up in my living room yesterday. Bunch of kids on the porch. These kids live in some hellified situation--I won't go into it cuz I don't wanna get sued. By the way these kids are up dressed and neat every morning and taken by somebody to school--I guess whoever is sober and ain't been shot up the night before. They are noisy playing out there but I know when they are out there nothing is going down. I'm sitting here, mulling over how bad shit has been, thinking I wouldn't let no kids of mine even out on the porch And suddenly these kids start singin "Deck Da Halls With Boughs of Holly fa la la la la" etc. I sit there, dumbfounded for a minute. Then I started laughing. Laughed till tears rolled down my cheeks. In that moment, I knew that, come what may, the Negroes will never be crushed. And we shall be avenged. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to ya! |
