Thursday’s editions of the New York Daily News will feature a front page showing the dying Alton Sterling – his hands clearly without a gun or weapon of any sort – laying in front of a convenience store, bleeding profusely from the chest, after having been shot by two Baton Rouge police officers early Tuesday.  The still frame was pulled from video shot by the store owner, who told reporters that Sterling’s “hand was not in his pocket” – from which one police officer pulled a gun – “nor did he have the gun in his hand.” The Justice Department has taken the lead on an investigation into the fatal shooting by two white police officers.

In my mind, there’s a boy who exists in chains. Inside a cold, dark room of painful solitude is where he will remain.Behind these walls, the sorrow is inevitable, as relentless as the passage of time. Mentalities corrupt and dark,brainwashed, and hopelessly blind.Prisons are packed with crowded spaces, lifers and guards with hollow faces. Shackled hearts afraid of changes,and weakened wills become complacent.Yet, I maintain with patience, time can limit but not shatter my will, strength blazed across my chest as solid as penitentiary steel. But the silence speaks, it tells me all I need to hear, it confirms my beliefs and its promises I have to fear. It reminds me that without freedom, I’m alone. And these whitewashed walls don’t make up for blackened souls. I’ve given 95% of my boys a handshake than a pound, before they were either locked down or buried off in cemetery grounds. What I’ve done is who I am, but who I am is what I do now. I won’t let up or cease to fight. Just time, I plan on doing it right. And what’s right lies within me. I’m learning to appreciate my struggle for it would be hard to find the joy of accomplishment without it. We live and we learn. We rise and we fall. Like the heartbeat of a sleeping giant, with bittersweet dreams. Stay up, never down.

One day we got tired, tired of chasing, of caring, of worrying… Not because we didn’t want more, but because the person didn’t value our efforts.
