Where are we standing? What are we doing? I always hear that silence is an action Seriously, is it also a luxury? And my neighbor's voice, a jewelry? Should we all be busy with silence, Or fight, build bridges, and build resilience? Is this the reason we don't get involved? The same reason we lean back on the wall, and watch injustice, broken peace, and disjointed noises in the streets? Even with the lawyers, the Judges, the law, and the police, pastors and priests... What's been the accomplishment? A lot of talents and energy, yet a lot of resentment. A lot of opinions, yet a lot of confusion. What's the solution? But what's my intention? Do I want a big house, build walls and keep the people outside? Do I want to dress like, walk like, talk like... and stay inside? What happens to the rest outside? Is a privilege to stay alive, how about the less privileged, the poor & the "dead-alive"? Aren't we sick and tired of being on the "other side"? How can we ever get a dose of a black man's peace?
