From moon rise till the next rising of da moon it’s all bout getting how one is built. Many were born to loose, but fight very, very hard to win. The aspects of this type of fight are vastly different than what many others would call a normal fight.

Every time you feel you’ve accomplished something there’s always something or someone that’s trying to hold you down or back from sustaining the full potential in your life. The fact that we have actually achieved a goal that has allowed us to feel free and able to move forward, is the same reason why someone or something tries to hold us still.

For instance, look at an individual who has been incarcerated and is coming out of incarnation after they repaid their debt to society. They repaid that debt by staying within the concrete jungles — an area that also includes the horrible aspects of one’s dignity being shattered and some having to deal with the inevitable consequences of 23 & 1.

When an individual must live inside of a world, inside of a small world, and sometimes inside of an even smaller world, the question becomes, since an individual is down at their bottom, is the only thing left to move up?

When you enter the classification phase of the system you are stripped from all your man or woman hood and forced to become nude in front of others where you are searched, showered and issued state clothes to be assured that you are identified differently from other people on the outside, but then housed amongst individuals that are clearly seen as having the same mental capacities and characteristics.

After these individuals have accesses the proper channels, finished their sentences, and completed the work of being paroled there are still 1000 people holding their legs as they strive to climb towards success.

And what about individuals that messed up and allowed alcohol or street drugs to get the best of them? Then they pulled up and went to rehab and got clean or sober and began to start to search for employment. Then individuals that are occasional drinkers or people that are hidden users nag about them wanting to be and do better.

What about those that hit rock bottom and end up at one of the missions or in a camp, and they get sick and tired of being sick and tired of sleeping here or there and wondering were their next meal is coming from and tired of smelling bad so they began to do better. Individuals just stare and laugh as they present themselves in a better manner.

It’s a cold game out there. As one plays, just remember that there is one that will always play harder. The game surely goes in circles. It surly won’t rain forever. Guarantee the sun will shine.
