This, has NOTHING, to do with the neighborhood!!!
Stabbed to death, in the broad daylight, as he walked from home to school, it was, an ordinary day, he woke up, got dressed, had his breakfast, took his lunch money from his mama, and, set out…
Some may see this isolated incident as just PURE wrong place in the wrong time, but, was it? Had this child not gotten side tracked, lost track of time, as he walked and played on his way to school, then, he would’ve never needed to take that quicker way, that only he, and a few of his buddies new, and he wouldn’t be, caught, right in the middle, of a gang related shooting, and became, an innocent who’d lost his life.
And, as the cops called up this little child’s parents, they were so shaken in disbelief, “we’d sent him off to school, and, he’d taken that same route, and nothing’d happened before, but today…………”, and this was voted, one of the safest neighborhood in the city too! Stabbed to death, in the broad daylight, on his way to school, so, that, was why he was, absent on that particular day, he’d gotten stabbed, and was, left, on the hard concrete, bleeding out, and everybody just, passed by him, like he was air.
Stabbed to death, in the broad daylight, on his way to school, it happens, it’s happened, or maybe, it’s happening, right NOW, as I’m sitting in my comfy chair, writing about it, and, because it’s happened before, it will surely, happen in the future again!
