Pro-life and Pro-Death Row...

Pro life and Pro Death Row
So explain to me
Not with loopholes
Or fine print
The way we go about it
-Tonauac

I am outrage at the melancholies of rationed days and time, that only allow for sets of “oooh’s and aaahs” to corrode what makes our hearts implode.

Count your sorrows and a better, different tomorrow, gets reduced to another excuse of not handling your day. Get paid.

Q: Are they really saying what I think they’re saying?

A: YES MAN! They are! Now what? What are you gonna do about it?

Is it too late in the game to question the strategies of winning and pinning the loss of life on someone else?

I’m not hater. I’m a player that has grown familiar to the hate.

I know this game.

So why am I going to negotiate words, thoughts, and intentions, when it reeks like genocide-“a genocidal plot” is the thing that continues to reassure the re-birth of this great nation. This is not population control


(Check out the Too Many Aborted Campaign for more details on the intentions behind these ads and the collusive methods through which communities are pinned against each other)

Though we know nation-building methods have strategically and subversively damage our families in years past, this is intimidation. This is not about procreation. It is about choice. Who get’s to have a choice, a say, over their own bodies? Whose bodies are not theirs and thus are continuously reminded that they are fodder of the state? 

This is not the convergence of the past. It is the reality of the present. Access, agency, and ability, are factors that need to be considerate, first and foremost, of the-emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual- health of the mother, the realities that these women are living should be primary in any discussion about life, or the loss of life.  As “disproportionate” rates of community misuse weaken our strength inside the belly of the beast, we forget who has to carry the burden of life as our children are raised by the streets(“Save Black Babies” Rep. Moore rips the myth apart).

These pro-life billboards tactically placed in the hoodest of hood corners, are throwing in our face all that we are, all that we know, and saying, “deal with it! you got no reason to have a choice”. Forget the pain of paying bills, of recycling abuse, of a retarded, remedial, and rejecting education system that finds no use for our life, forget the black bodies that are disposed and forgotten to rot in our nations PIC/MIC and skid rows, forget the shackled mothers in death row giving birth to unwanted uses of their bodies, forget that you don’t give a damn if I eat or make enough for my rent. Tell me, show me, you give a damn about life, my life, for the rest of my life and then I’ll give a damn about how pro-life you are.

I get it. Do you?

There are multiple practices of dying in our st’s. Hoodlums, so called gangsters, know exactly what they are doing when they enter “the game” -death is their aim. At least they get a say! Wake up. Our people want to die. This is as real as our people wanting to live.

Yet, we need to understand the severity of searching for death in order to understand the urgency of having reasons to live (and allow personal choice w/ options to also exist).  So what is wrong with having a say over how and when we go within a nation that has led us to believe that we’ve had a choice all along?
