Chapter 1
This is Baltimore,teen lives have been lost, children have died, people’s mothers, fathers and siblings have been grieving because of some problem that could have been prevented.
We say police brutality is a problem but the homicides are worse. We say police are racist but the same black community kills each other. These black on black crimes prove them right, they already believe that we are animals and savages and that we need to be tamed and enslaved to keep us behaved and you go killing children,teens,peoples mothers and fathers ,peoples family.What makes that any better than the police killing our community.
At the end of each problem in this city ends with someone dying or getting hurt. children haven’t even lived. Teon K lost his life at 10 years old in a shooting(not in Baltimore). This is so heartbreaking. How can you live with yourself after killing someone even by accident, a five year old shot that boy has to live with that memory for life.
Mothers kill their children but at the same time mothers are hurting because of the killing of their children. families have to bury their children, even little kids. How can we speak on anything when our world has become something that is full of death.
life is already so short how can we cut someone life even shorter teens and children trying to kill themsleves because of bullying and having to loose there family in this world of torture life is just torture and that same torture that made people realize whats going on has killed the people who didn't realize in time.
I feel like it’s my family when I see teens die after being shot 5 times, 10 year olds killing themselves after the killing of their brother or sister like why is this happening all the time. Why are the fathers of children being killed for walking on the street then a child killed for sticking up for herself?
Kids and teens killing themselves but who pay attention to this anymore people have made this a normal thing. No one pays any attention to this disgusting world. People can’t even walk to the store without the fear of being robbed or killed. How dont you look at this world and see fire, death and poison.
We mine as well be burning because that’s what it feels like living in this world of regret and death.
You find a person that you care about then you hear he or she has been shot to death. How would that make you feel walking in class and not seeing a classmate and the teacher sitting there head down and announcing that he was killed.
You look back and say it’s my fault because we arent perfect and you have been mean to that person. You have ignored him and called him names and you feel the worst even though it’s not your fault.
but you feel that it is your fault but this world has killed itself already.Children and teens fall into depression and no one understands why the parents just say they’re just doing that for attention. But then when they kill themselves it’s a shock even though they have been calling out for help their whole life they needed to be saved they were drowning in the ocean of life. you let them drown.
Why not pay attention before they are hurting that bad they have been holding in those feelings for so long. You are just noticing them. They have been smiling though all their hurt but when they start crying you say why am i just hearing about this. They can’t say anything because they have been staying strong for you. To keep their parents happy this makes me so angry because these children have been sending hints to their parents their whole life and you have ignored every hint.
Just look at this world, look out of your window the world is burning at our feet every time someone is killed another flame is made.
Why don’t people understand this is not a joke, this is a serious topic that needs to be solved because all these killings,homicides are going to lead this world to the ground.
If this gets out of hand it will never be a world. It will be a war for every family for themself then Once the war is over people’s lives are over with that one war that killed our community, our family and damaged your heart.
The war of life is what we will call it and some people didn’t see the end of that war. They couldn’t handle the war the war handled them though.
After the war there’s a storm of tears, the tears of the hopeless world, the tears of the gods that tried to save us from this war. I may be a child but I see all this and want to change this world, change is what we need but will we ever get that change?
People need to stand up for this burning world. No one notices that this world needs help. This war is going to go on for years and the more people will die more people will grieve,the more we lose the more we all suffer as a community.
if we don’t stop this war. The same war that hurt you ,the same world that hurt your family, the same world that made our people killers and thieves. I know that these people that kill and steal don't do this for no reason. This war turned them into the killers that they have become, growing up in this war has turned people into what they are now.
This war turns people into crazy people, the people who rob homeless people ,the people that kill people, the people who just can’t find that path or guidance they need to get through this war.
The war has broken many people.
It has broken me but i know that once this war is over i wont be fixed but i won’t be stuck in this world of war don’t get me wrong this isn’t just Baltimore it’s everywhere but this is where i live,where i stand, this is where i’m supposed to feel safe at who can feel safe in this city you get use to it but you still feel unsafe.
We worry about others coming over to our lands but who really will notice when all they want to do is come to get a job and get money for their family.(not all). They treat our world better than what we do so why can’t they come over here to help themself get through the same war you’re trying to get though.why not help them why not we all help each other though this.
We discriminate so much we don’t notice they are in the same situation as we are. but we still discriminate against others. It really is sad that we do this and this really needs to change.
Our teachers have to deal with this because those killers were the students they once tried to stop from getting in trouble.
The ones who got killed were the students they cared about, the ones who killed themselves were the students they worried about.
The ones who made it were the ones that bullied people for their own self confidence.Sometimes people show you what you want to be like and what you don’t want to be like when you are able to make your own decisions and sometimes you see something so much you think its ok so you just do what you have been seeing your whole life and sometimes that leads people to become killers or to be killed because of what they have done on the streets like fighting people,selling drugs and just hanging with the wrong people that are older and have been telling you to do something so of course you do it because they persuade by saying that its quick money,you will be respected and you can do what you want.
But little do you know all of that might be true but it may also lead you to something they didn’t say like you have the risk of being killed or beat up or threatened.
This starts at the end of middle school where you start to hang out with the older age group and that also brings so much danger because they might be into something and you get dragged into whatever trouble they are in.
But if you do want to hang out with an older group you should hang out with the nerds that are more into the books and not into street living. Which will put you on a faster route and a safer route to be able to stay safe.
But people don’t see that these are the reasons that people’s fathers abandoned them because of what they did in the past that led them to become an unprepared father.
These are reasons why mother.These are reasons we have so many young single mothers because the fathers of their child can’t take care of them so they just leave the mothers with no money or the fathers try to get their lives in order to be able to take care of a baby but before the baby is born the father is killed because they can’t do what they use to do like sell drugs for people which angiers people because they aren’t making money off of other people.
Once that child grows older and finds out what happened to their father they will become angry and start doing things that will hurt people only because they hurt and they feel like the only way to heal is to hurt people and to get revenge on the streets. that revenge ends up getting that child put in jail,hurt,or killed which leaves the mother in pain , leaves the siblings in pain, which leaves the child’s family in pain. One hurt causes all of these people to be in pain.
That's how easy it is to let the pain and anger control you and soon that anger that controls you leads you to get killed or jail for life that sticks with you and it haunts you. Shooting up elementary schools is disgusting and if you do that i hope you die because who are you to take a incident childs life just because you should be ashamed and you should kill your self there is no reason to do that.
For you to do something like that yo have to sick the children didn’t even do anything to deserve that you really believed that you could get away with that if you don’t get killed i hope those children screams haunt you and cause you to kill yourself like you killed them kids how could you even do that.
