Gang wars.

My senior year we did a one act in my drama class called the Hoods. It talked about gang violence and the kinds of people who are in it.

What are they fighting for? These big bad guys who shoot each other, killing innocent people for gang initiations, putting kids on the street to sell crack pipes and other crazy paraphernalia. They could save everyone the trouble and put the guns to their own heads and shoot themselves. Id understand that.

What is it they get for doing drive by shootings? By beating up the new kid in school, or on the block? By stealing merchandise, selling crack, killing girls, beating them, fighting each other. All for the name of brotherhood, right?

I didnt grow up in such poverty, but i feel no sympathy. Because only a moron would do what they do. People with less than half a brain. But their smarter than that. They dont give themselves credit for what they could be doing. They decide to live a shorter life, harming those they love (if they love) and if they read this they would say some obscenity towards my harsh uncaring words.

They are ignorant. People who are to lazy to try and strive for something at all other than a death wish. If no one faught at all then their would be no struggles. They could work together. Its no peace but its compromising. They would have developers seek out their city and want to build their but they push everyone out. They live on welfare and keep having babies so they can get more money.

Correct me if im wrong but problems occur when people want them too. Anger is a symptom of an undeveloped mind unable to understand and grieving for attention because since their not smart that is the only way they get it.

It is not the appearance of them that is disturbing, the guns, drugs, and what not. Its their attitude. Their ability to be so stupid and unambitious that is disturbing.

But dont care what other people think. Make war with yourselves and those who are innocent and kill yourselves in the end.

You will die, their deaths will not give you immortality, or power. Because once your dead no one can care less. Its all about who will be next in line to make their master.

So I finish with these final questions,

What is it you are fighting for?
Why is it so important?
Who told you that fighting is the only way out?
Where is it said that you must kill each other because life is war and it must always be in war?
When will it end and how?
And why is it so hard for people to understand that peace is so much easier to attain than what they make it look out to be?

It isnt a fantasy, its real, and if people just tried we might get somewhere.
