We Gotta Just Live Yo’


How dare you show your behind like that! What would your family say? What were you thinking getting that haircut before meeting them? It is important to you to impress them right? Damn this is such a drag. Can’t do this, can’t eat that, don’t watch this in front of the children, you need this license and or this certificate to prove your worth. Masks up, mask down. Whoo weee. Can we just take a moment to woosaa for a second?


I used to watch commercials of that little cute teddy bear that advertised the fabric softener for clothes. He was just the absolute the cutest best friend I’ve never had. As gullible as I was, I felt like he was alive and real, right along with Barbie and Santa. My mom got a great helping of that reality, no pun intended, when we went to the park one afternoon and saw the mascot from this old bike shop that is no longer in business. All little two-year-old Tiara saw was legs and a huge helmet head. I screamed myself to sleep that afternoon. But then again, my mother told me another story of how I bust out the “Santa”, by asking my mom why does he have two types of hair on his face? So, there were times where I was got, yea. But other times it was no mas (no deal) with this young girl.



 

Some of us ended up having children as we grew older. Most have shammed Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, and ourselves without even knowing so. She wrote a very deep thesis on generational annihilation of the melanated race through white supremacy. In one of the many compositions beautifully written, she explains how having children before the age of 30 has unfortunately pushed us to have a community of a “child-like” multitude like Brother Hemmit spoke on as well. Think about it for a second or two. How old was your mother when she had you? How old was your Grandmother when she had your mother? How old were you when you had your first child? Oh, and I’m quite sure you know of someone who had a child before eighteen. Even a numerologist, which I study as well, will tell you that most important ages in our lives are well into the 30's and beyond. (Males start getting it around 35).



 

I mention all of this to say that I suggest we take time to REALLY SLOW DOWN. Some are fortunate enough to be granted breaks and still don’t fully utilize them.

What do you assume is the main reason? I personally believe it is due to being formed into a rushing being. My mother wasn’t fortunate right away to have a car when I was little, so we had to catch the bus. Besides me saying “hi” to everyone bright and early in the six-a.m. hour as a wee one, as I got older I remember always having to run for the damn buses. It was so constant that I recall asking my mother while getting dressed, “do we have to run for the bus today?” I have since come to the realization that she is doing what some folks lack. She was one of those la-da dee-da I go and come as I please. Now this is all good in gravy, at appropriate times.


Being in school is another example of live being rushed. Bell rings and you have five minutes to make it to your locker grab a drink or tinkle if need be and get to your next class. Oh, and we’ve all met those asshole teachers who were there to martyr instead help students and teach. Stressing out children with their point system of made-up success with the grading system.

I never looked at my child’s report card when she was in the school system. For one it would make me feel as if I weren’t doing my job properly, being in her aide with homework and teaching at home, where I know fully inner stand and believe it should all be to begin with. Why is some stranger whom you nor the school really has background info on teaching your child about their privates or promoting them to have children once they reach high school with them offering child and development classes? Oh yeah that’s right, they care and want to set your children up for singleness. That’s why they just built those five new condos downtown. They don’t expect you, the parent, to teach our own children foundation and structural purpose of family for our culture. Everyone gets to keep and fully represent theirs (China Town, Observations on American calendars) what happened to yours my beloved?


Stay vigilant, peep the tricks and just live your life. Not everything can be controlled and no not everything is going to go exactly as planned. That's the fun part about this life here. Free will that anything can happen. The only thing that is certain is

NOTHING IS FOR CERTAIN.
