Leadership

(What happen to conscious rap like that? Listening to KRS 1 Step into a World)
  
Use to really account for something but we think about the people who said nothing about something…Nothing to young people in need of corrective measure. We weren’t the generation who you can’t say nothing to; automatic defense. You don’t tell me what to do; willfully defiant and don’t know shit literally on any level; some in leadership positions nowadays- frightening.  
   
I expected my Mother to say something like “not everybody is going to be like your dance teacher” aka somebody’s gonna drop you on your big head. If people know more, they can assist more but you shouldn’t have to petition. She didn’t know the magnitude of what was going on between me and D but say something to your daughter.  
   
My political science professor: we were (my mind was very advanced) which was passé for a young person who needed corrective measure. We were guilty of obscurity, eerily Scorpio private (triggered WASP culture-my roommates) but she knew I was doing something on the weekends; with nothing like “you be careful out there in them streets because good times can bring you home” but we were in emotional rapture so...  
   
This is going back further but we use to volunteer at the NAACP; (there was a time or two: the community felt like ok we should have them on standby for residential hall: dorm issues in case this situation hits phase 2-one peer sent me in on behalf of everyone; all the sistahs (   ) so they could tap in as needed) the director there was sweet and poised but all she really would say is “ain’t that something?” (they came down out to the U-people were on edge who knows what was said between them) no real words of closure or advice on the battlefield of world conflict; “destined to progress if not there some wheres else; brace yourself for impact.”
