When my son was just the faint heart beat of a slowly developing seed.
I used 2 rub my belly and say "Baby boy u can be anything u wanna be"
Born with the odds stacked against him...he would only receive his mothers love.
Cuz his daddy was watering several flowers without using protective gloves.
But I was determined to make this sprout grow into something great.
He always tells me he loves me even when there's barely any food on the plate.
Only 3 years old and he already walks in heavy shoes...
Had 2 witness the day Mommy tried to end Daddy's life cuz she walked in to her baby being abused.
I moved him away and tried to give him a better life...
Enrolled him in an A+ school...I bought into the good life hype.
I know he needs plenty of love and extra attention.
I got the Assitant Principal callin me givin me a verbal letter of rejection.
They say he's too rowdy and can't be contained....
Givin a 3 year old the cold shoulder..damn they should be ashamed...
They have a full staff of teachers with doctorite degrees...
Makes me think they got their certification by sending in 4 UPC's and $2.95 in shipping and handling fees.
They tryin to oust my baby due to his comlex persona.
But be the first muthafuckas talkin bout how many kids choose 2 hug the corner.
I'm a single mother of four... a reality I can't escape.
But ur more willing to help a family that has a picket fence surrounding their landscape.
I thought we was livin in a world of EOE (equal opportunity education)
Instead of solving the problem U would rather pump him full of drugs leaving him in a state of sedation.
But I'll be damned if I let someone hurt him the second time around...
He's a KING and FUCK YO LIFE! if u think he aint strong enough 2 wear his crown.
Teaching children aint like flippin' burgers...u don't do it just 2 earn a check...
Ur supposed 2 be nuturing impressionable minds and instilling the importance of intellect.
Ur molding the future leaders of our country...man that's a scary vision...
No wonder so many kids turn 2 the streets or end up in prison...
Now I have to readjust his daily routine cuz yall didnt want him...how do I explain that 2 my kid?
Never thought the school system would neglect my child....just like his father did....
girl if you don't be talkin bout some real shit then no one does ok...i applaud u for speaking up on this subject because its a serious problem ma!! Its good to read you again..you never let me down!!!
Thats right! You stand your ground...Because there are powers that be, who count on a number of human beings to fit into their set up for failure status...Talkin about say no to drugs, but thats the first thing they wanna do to a normal active child...drug him up, creating an early dependent, so that corporate pushers can reap the benefits, while doctors, prisons and pysch-wards tally the freakin payroll...a sad reality...from a very strong pen...excellent write
My first time checkin out your writes. Heard your name mentioned in a good light. Wasn't disappointed. Tremendous display of writing skills coupled with love and determination. Your son is in great hands. For now, you can do a better job than the school system. No need to worry. Stay strong.
ROX, THIS JOINT IS BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE... GIRL ITS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. SO MANY OF THE CHICAGO PUCBLI SCHOOL KIDS GOING THROUGH THIS, AND BECAUSE WE LIVE IN AREA WHERE TAXES CAN'T PROVIDE GOOD EDUCATION DA SHORTIES HAVE TO GO WITH OUT. THIS IS SO TRUE, AND NEEDS TO BE SAID...
