- When will THEY realize?
By: Curly X
My friend, mentor, leader and Brother,
They called you Rebel, but those are all lies.
I know your Nobel, but they say you took a breather,
I know your no actor, your past mentality dies.
The tears that runs down your cheek,
Brother, it will never make you weak.
THEY have given you a sneak peak,
25 years to life, is nothing meek.
They can cage your body, but never you’re Spirit,
Fight long, Alex to regain your innocence.
Never be PERPLEX, just know you’re a puppet,
They can’t cage your mind, you have the brilliance.
The tears pouring from the eyes of your family,
Brother, know they are not done faintly.
They have given your something, freely,
You have to fight with your heart clean, fully.
All I know of you is good and always braver,
Your gang days, long gone, the new Alex has arise.
You probably think everything around you is bleaker,
But sooner or later, you’re going to have tears, happy cries.
The tears from upon my face,
This system is sick, and full of disgrace.
Your name they constantly deface,
So all your hard work you've have done, they can't erase.
This poem is food for your soul,
Something to fill the lonely nights and console.
You will never be the man in that wall hole,
When will THEY know that you play a positive role?
When will THEY realize we don’t belong in these hellholes?
When will THEY realize we don’t sleep on bedrolls?
When will THEY realize that peace is our ultimate goal?
When will THEY realize that were in control?
When will THEY realize that you’re not on the payroll?
When will THEY realize that you have been steamrolled?
When will THEY realize that YOU and ME are people?
When will THEY realize?
That these prisons and lies are destroying or cultural lives.

- The Our-story of our fight
By: Curly X
we fought this war for our own land,
we lost that fight, they chopped off our hands.
“DON’T SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE, NOTHING READ”
“All WE WANT IS WHITE NOT RED”
we fought this war for our own land,
we lost that fight, they plopped cuffs on hands.
“DON’T CROSS THIS BORDER INTO TOWN”
“All WE WANT IS WHITE NOT BROWN”
we fought this war for our own land,
we fight it still with our own hands.
“DON’T SPEAK UP SPIC, DON’T PICK A FIGHT”
“I JUST WISH YOU WERE ALL SNOW-WHITE’
We fight this war for our own land,
I can’t be white and join your Klan.
“YOU WILL LOSE, THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED”
“THIS DAY WILL YOU PEOPLE DREAD”
We fight this war for our own land,
Eventually, you will see we all bleed red.
This is the road that I will choose,
And in this fight YOU will lose.
“NO, YOU CAN’T”
“SI, SE PUEDE, AND YES WE CAN”

- Thank you sister for those words of wisdom. They are very true. the Better road is very narrow, and we have to work harder, as childern of God, to stay on it. If you have any poems, that you can share with me, so I can post to my blog, that will bring inspiration to many.

- Rhyme with No Reason?
By: Curly X
This poem is dedicated to Oscar Grant and the other Oscar Grant’s
Bullets piercing the bodies of my people,
I thought the constitution said we are all equal.
Puppets in this world voicing our sad stories,
Eyeballs filled with sanction killings by police sissies.
When will the shooting stop from the hired guns,
Good men die while marksmen freely run.
Mothers hanging on to the last breath of there child,
Minutes go by and she grows more, wild.
Murders are banging Her heart to death,
Riots seem old, it outgrows the poor, and defiles.
Bigots were crushed by the hands of peaceful men,
Cries didn’t come from guns, but from there mouth and pen.
Lead an army of soldiers with guns and rocks, and we will be crushed,
Because violence begets violence, when we are rushed.
Heal our broken hearts with sage and gospel song,
The real ordeal is to fix the pain of wrong.
Forgive and forget, seems to far fetch,
But I promise, you,
Brother Killing Brother, Sister Killing Sister,
Others shooting others to enact revenge,
Its like rhyme with no reason, it doesn’t end.
I want to thank Paradise, for being my inspiration. I hope that our words reach Oakland, and we can be there for them, and heal, organize, and do things the right way. Because you and I know, riots are what the oppressor wants. It gives them a reason to oppress. Destroy the violence, and they have no tools against us.
Peace and Love

Tufara Waller Muhammad said… - Welcome to the Gathering for Justice Network. I noticed that asked Malia to hook you up with people from NJ and they are here. This network is really what you make it. You can use it as a way to find other people who are interested in justice issues in your area. But, it's just like any other network...you got to work it. So, look around and you will find others who want to do what you want to do. Peace and Blessings, Tuf
if you are a part of the problem, then check yourself before it is too late to make a difference.

About
The Gathering’s Mission
The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.
Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
