From the heart

Four black teens in Philadelphia with nothing other than weekly tranpasses and opinions. Still, the criticism and general interpretation seem to change from day to day regardless of aforementioned teens consistency.

Whatever. We're not doing anyone some terrible injustice, and we don't claim to be changing the world or enlightening the folk beyond belief or recognition. Credences, food for thought, images, a few laughs here and there, and opinions are all that we can offer you. Whether you choose to accept or decline, you are here, as are we, daily.

To face the rain or sunshine, parade or riot, cookout or Saturday detention..We ride Septa.

Thoughts after witnessing some intense racism

Race, what is race?
how does this make us different?
is it the color of my skin?
the sound of my voice?
the food and drinks i consume?
is it my heart and soul passed down from years and years ago?
am i who i think i am?
am i who i think i am?
am i who i think i am?
or am i just an average man?
doing average things
living an average life
or is it an above average, akunamatata kinda lifestyle
is it right to scream "im black fuck that"
and throw my middle finger to the sky
you say fuck you to god and he surely will fuck you up
thou shall not steal thou shall not judge
is race in our heart or is it in our blood
these veins dont contain chicken grease
its the same as the man thats invading the middle east
what makes us so different
this border must be burnt but one side wants it and the other corrupts it
take it as you will
take it how you please
love your brother and yourself
you shall never be in need
