“Little Terri got a gun he got from the store, he bought with the money he got from the shores. He robbed the candy store, told her “lay down on the floor, put the cookies in the bag, take the pennies out the drawer.”
Lil Khalil got a gun he got from the rebels to kill the infidels & American devils. A bomb on his waste, a mask on his face; prays five times a day and listens to heavy metal.
Little Alex got a gun he took from his dad, that he snuck into school in his black book bag. His black nail polish, black boots and black hair; he gone blow away the bully that just pushed his ass.”

and there is no such thing as normal.
in the same sense:
poverty is relative, and therefore cannot be ‘eradicated’.
peace is relative, and therefore cannot be ‘achieved’.
sustainability is an equilibrium, which we will forever be
in search of.
the biggest, most complex things in life, for which we strive,
are the most unattainable.
this,
is what makes them infinitely worth fighting for.
