{ I really need some cheering up today }
After seeing this Darius Simmons tragedy I am really slipping into a terribly sad mood.
I know he isn’t related to me but he might as well be, I have cousins his age.
My younger brother is 19, only 6 years older than him.
And people are defending his killer on the grounds that he is elderly, mean while our elders wouldn’t get such treatment.
If it was one of our elders?
They would be under the jail by now.
I pray for their family I don’t know what I would do if that happened to one of my own.
Our youth have targets on our backs yet people want to say America is “post racial”
Ugh, Why can’t we just live?
