WHAT ARE WE REBELLING AGAINST? II

What are we rebelling against?
When the black community still remains downsized;
With our kids disillusioned with the impression that there is very little to our prospects,
When they are told they need no role models, and every way is the right way,
When they are ignorant of the truth that we are actually creators, inventors, pioneers and leaders,
And deep within us lie a variety of gifts which could be channeled towards a purpose that betters humanity,
When they fail to realize that not all of us would end up before cheering fans on a stage,
That to some of us, have been given the power to usher the world into a new age,
Hence some of us are wired and channeled along different routes,
And not every way is the right way,
What are we rebelling against?
When we cannot get our young ones from off the streets with 'crack',
When we keep killing ourselves with guns that 'crack',
That crack and crumble not just our mortal entities,
But the very fiber of our souls, beings and structure as a people,
When we use our powers against ourselves, rather than for ourselves...
