The Leaking of a Mother’s Heart

 

The atrocities of our past keep leaking on the streets of our today! The lines are ever so blurred, to the point of stigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness of what many are consciously choosing NOT to see. THIS IS CALLED BLANTANT BLINDNESS!!! 

We have a Lost Generation | Loss Generation! NOTE: Before you hit that reply button, pick-up a Thesaurus and feel the leak of this mother’s heart. This is not one of those degrading post, but one to awaken our hearts to prayer and action.

If the people of God are perpetrating, as if the News stations apply to ‘them’ [others] and not us [you] as an individual, we are a people ever so blinded by a shield of ignorance coupled with severe arrogance. As I peeped at the calendar this morning, it reminded me, that in 2-weeks and 3-days, my baby brother WOULD HAVE BEEN 32-years old, had the atrocities of our past NOT leaked on to My Street. What I’m referring to is the ethnic analysis a segment of society has rendered more expendable than others.

There is dilapidation so many African-American families (not to say, the sense family is only decaying in the black family, I can only walk a mile in my own shoes). We have forfeited our sense of morals, integrity, togetherness [our village] and love for one another. We began to take on the persona of what we so carelessly thought was the better way, to the detriment of our legacies. No, I am not advocating as a people we need to rehearse the 60’s, but I am advocating being more relatable and relational with what we call Lost |Loss. Because, what we are labeling loss | lost, is about each of our heritage.

Let me share a bit of reality: I Am a Black Mother with a Leak in My Heart! As a mother of three, two being African-American males and the grandmother of two African American | Caucasian males, there is a NEED to teach them how to live and survive in this 21st century with the atrocities of our past leaking into our present.

Things I Had to Teach you, Son…

·         Know your worth! Why, because I speak life to you not Defeat!

·         Intelligence sits on the front row of the class! Just trying to get by sits at the back of the class. Know your worth!

·         You will have to study twice as hard; the standardized tests are not equivalent to the outdated education you are receiving in the Hood. Know Your Worth!

·         You are more than a sport (football, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, etc.)! Use it as an apparatus, to move upward, without the guilt from those of the Hood. Know Your Worth!

·         As you Rise, don’t compromise your morals and integrity. Know Your Worth!

·         As you are FORCED to Code Switch in the boardroom, don’t lose you! Know Your Worth!

·         As you Rise economically, be careful in your new gated community and don’t tint your windows too dark on your new Aston Martin DB9 and the family care, your Bentley Continental GT, because it’s possible for you to be mistaken as an intruder and a thief, even in the daylight. But, Know your Worth!

·         And, in case You, My Son allow life to deal you a spoonful of vinegar, due to life decisions, remember you can recover from a fall…Know Your Worth!

·         To My Carmel grandbabies, You love your families because in your little cocoon it’s all you know. Know Your Worth…

·         When society tries to categorize your ethnicity and tries to persuade you to choose sides…Know Your Worth is in Both Sides!!!

·         I need you to pull your pants up, Not because I don’t like it, but because there is a stereotype, which says you are expendable based on your expression of self…Know Your Worth!

·         When you are walking down the street, turn your hat around so you are NOT categorized…Know Your Worth!

·         Carry your backpack like a school boy, on both shoulders, NOT to be categorized…Know Your Worth!

·         Understand the uniform in the neighborHOOD schools, is not who you are…Know Your Worth!

·         When test, do your Best because your scores are being analyzed to determine if you are a candidate for the next generation Penal Institutions…Know Your Worth!

·         Don’t ALLOW your neighborHOOD school teacher to make your feel inferior, many are at your at-risk school, so their Student Loans will be paid in full…Know Your Worth!

·         This is Dedicated to All My Sons and Carmel Grandbabies trying to survive in the Jungle of this thing WE call Life…Never Forget Your Worth…Know Your Worth! 

Signed, A Leak in My Heart
