Everyone has experienced that split second of empty mental airtime where all thoughts are gone from your mind, and anything is possible. Have you ever seen a mans eyes as the first angry tear begins to form in his eye? Or the exact moment when a person realizes that the tangled heap on the ground before them is actually the remains of a loved one?
Or if you are familiar with a addicted gambler and you happen to be there when he/she realizes that they have lost their lifes savings or months bill money?
That is the moment.
The moment when anything is possible for a few heartbeats, the moment when personality, upbringing, morals,, scruples and beliefs hold no sway and cease to exist for just a few seconds in time. At that moment a person is capable of anything from murder to grand acts of charity, they are balancing on a fence with evil and good on either side of them at that moment. Where violence and acceptance are in a epic duel for possession of an individual. At that moment, a man is capable of murder, tenderness, kindness, forgiveness, and cruelty beyong even their ability yo believe they were capable of, all depending on which emotions signals get to the blank mind first.
We have all seen it, that exact moment when a man goes from angry to enraged, that split second. Or more common, the exact moment you meet someone new and you make eye contact. In that moment we know, know everything about that person, but fail to believe it because we were brought up to dismiss it as impossible. But in our deepest heart of hearts, we know on a primal level that what we felt was real. And if you think back to all those cases in your life, every one of them proved correct sooner or later.
I had one of those last night. They can be sparked by anything, anger, confussion, embarrassment, depression, pain, fear, or realization, any strong emotion or experience will do as a trigger. Mine was triggered by realization. Realization that From this moment backwards, I had squandered my life. I had lived the fast and free life of a ghetto husler and womanizer most of my life, and then out of nowhere it all made sense, And what that sense proved to me was that I was stupid and controlled by my environment, and environment that wasn’t even real. If the devil is real, he resides in the ghetto. And many, many souls are lost or sold to him daily, without the sellers knowledge or awareness. And the more I thought of it, the more I was sure, souls are always “on sale” in the ghetto, bargains galore. It’s set up to tempt us, that is its only reason to exist, there is nowhere on the planet where confussion and deception are more plentiful, comfortable, and ingrained than the devil, I mean ghetto.
In that moment, my moment, I saw clearly that nothing new is under the sun, like the bible says. But more important to me and those like me (poor black folks) even less is new in the ghetto. I saw clearly that all the huslers and thugs and prostitutes and jackers and con artists and pimps, were all exactly the same. I mean you could go through history and exchange all these lost souls heads. They are all, better yet we are all the same. We think we are different, but we aint. Don’t believe me, well ask yourself, How many times have you seen friends killed or locked up trying to make life better? How many times have you seen talented people resort to violence or acts of despair (roberry, drug sales murder) when they were about as thuggish as harry potter? The ghetto, I mean devil, I mean ghetto got em.
I guess this post is getting long so I am gonna shut up, but take this with you. The ghetto/devil is more than a place or person, it is not lifeless and automatic, it is a mindspace and environment a feeling as real and powerful as love or hate or hunger or satisfaction. Will-power is a weapon against it. Use it. Free-will and thought are weapons against it, use them. And Don’t give your emotions free reign over your decisions. Because the devil/ghetto uses that as its catalyst or spark, and it is skilled in arson having burned so many for so long from the inside out. And think about god, he exists, but maybe he isn’t exactly what the pimp turned pastor and American fore-fathers told us it was. Peace shadow.
