The Exodus of Decency

Poverty
Divorce
Starvation
Separation
Jealousy
Degradation
Complacency
Ignorance
These did exist.
But did not hold prominence
In the black community.
They did not mold the culture
But instead were abhorred
Until today.
Until the miseducation of the negro
Became the glorification of the people.
Willie Lynch did not do this.
Ku Klux Klan did not do this.
U.S. government did not do this.
No.
This was allowed
To commence.
No one can lose when they choose
To be undefeated.
There is no deterrent to someone
Who has made up their mind
To be unstoppable.
The greatest enemy to anyone
Is in their own conscience.
Fear.
Anxiety.
Procrastination.
Deception.
Hurt.
Sorrow.
Lack of knowledge.
Absence of love.
Catalysts that powered the dead
To take over.
To infiltrate the homes
The schools
The churches
The businesses
Of the people.
And until there is a new movement
There is no hope for the community.
This is not about civil rights anymore.
This
Is about cultural obligation.
