The Rabbit Hole

How deep down the rabbit hole, would you go?

Life is nothing more than making choices,

precious decisions, that impact virtually all you know.

What girl to marry? What job to take? What's best for me?

Well, you see-

Your looking at life to simply.

Red pill or Blue Pill?

We choose our own fate-

a balloon filled with questions,

Answers needed to inflate.

If knowledge is power, how do I test my strength?

Through the number of books I read,

or how many test I ace?

In that case,

A cognitive steroid I'll embrace.

My first question has to do with the politicians,

why is it that the same people get elected-

then corrupt the system?

Ya, I know there is a Black man in the White House.

I support Obama,

but as soon as the world saw his face there's drama.

There shouldn't be a problem with a Black man in a White building,

for me this historic act is morally fulfilling.

Like a puppeteer politicians tie directly to education.

Seems like the government is blind to the problems we're facin'.

The best teachers, always found in White neighborhoods,

My uneducated people, left to dealin' drugs,

To you its not understood.

Now the purpose is not to place blame,

But to encourage ambition, an inert-drive is the aim.

Its manifest we are lacking black philosophers and scholars,

It seems that rap videos make it cool to sell your body for a quick dollar.

Now, I wanna know where the classy ladies went...

A dying breed,

Apparently, that quality was ditched

Know the youth want to be a "five-star-chick" or a "Barbie Bitch"

I'm looking for tat girl whose momma raised her right,

a chick who uses her brains to ignite conversations-

insight.

Now this special lady has big shoes to fill,

Compared to my mom, my queen-

She is one in a mil'.

I must say that I'm blessed, being

Raised in a household,

With a mother and a father-

a dissipating mold.

I tip my hats to the single ladies and the single men,

that raised their kids, I cant imagine the task that would have been.

The stigma on my race is that we cant stay together,

Its a shame that's how we're looked upon,

We gotta do better.

Raise your kids right, not just to defeat the stereotype.

But for the satisfaction of keeping a role model in their sight.
