    Wait! Please don’t walk away,

    photo_karenwalkerThere is a story much I want to convey,

    I don’t mean to impose

    But the last door is about to close…

     

    I was hiking with a friend

    And I got lost near the river bend

    I am not sure how they found me

    As I sat beneath the old birch tree…

     

    There is so much more to tell

    But I am in a living hell

    When I go to catch the words,

    They fly away faster than any bird,

     

    My mind is a house of doors

    With words scuttling along the floors

    And I rush down each hall

    Racing to catch them all,

    Sedona Gift Shop

     

    Yet the door slams before I arrive

    Where is that story I want to revive?

    Yes, the doors are closing quickly now

    My stories grow shorter with every hour

     

    I still know your face

    And you voice is easy to place

    But your name is last in line

    That door just closed for the last time

     

    I was hiking with some friends

    And I got lost near the river bend

    I am not sure how they found me

    As I sat beneath the old Birch tree…

     

    There is so much more to tell

    But the doors have all closed…

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
