Seniors Are Becoming Homeless At A Rate Never Before Seen. This Makes No Sense!

People who have worked their entire lives and then retired should not be cost burdened when it comes to their housing. Property taxes should not be forcing seniors into homelessness. It makes no sense that people who worked for more than forty years are now finding it difficult to remain housed.

‘Unconscionable’: Baby boomers in America are becoming homeless at a rate ‘not seen since the Great Depression’ — here’s what’s driving this terrible trend

Many baby boomers across the country are now coming to terms with the hard reality that working for your entire adult life is no longer enough to guarantee you’ll have a roof over your head in your later years.

Thanks in part to a series of recessions, high housing costs and a shortage of affordable housing, older adults are now the fastest-growing segment of America’s homeless population.

Sadly, in my day-to-day dealings with the homeless, I’ve found many to be seniors, and some of them have pensions but are still homeless due to skyrocketing rents or lost their home due to an inability to keep up with property taxes and they were not aware of tax help for low-income seniors. And now that they are homeless, the waitlists for housing seniors are miles and miles long or in other words, 6-10 years long. And 55+ senior housing communities are sometimes, not the answer as they come with their own set of issues as in raising rents higher than seniors can afford. Something seriously needs to be done about greed among corporate landlords.

And yet, get a load of this!

HOUSING FOR ILLEGALS

Illegals are receiving free housing here for TWO years, after that, they are expected to pay only 30% of their income towards housing in this complex. And yet, LEGAL SENIORS ARE TOLD TO TOUGH IT OUT WHILE LIVING IN A VAN. Van life among LEGAL AMERICAN seniors has exploded. And this mess is deliberate.

Maine residents in uproar over $13million ‘Taj Mahal’ migrant housing complex where asylum seekers can stay RENT FREE in luxury apartments for two years

Illegals are receiving free housing here for TWO years, after that, they are expected to pay only 30% of their income towards housing in this complex. And yet, LEGAL SENIORS ARE TOLD TO TOUGH IT OUT WHILE LIVING IN A VAN. Van life among seniors has exploded. And this mess is deliberate.

Residents of a Maine town have hit out at the $13million construction of a complex of 60 apartments for asylum seekers, where they can live rent free for two years then pay a fraction of the rental price. 

Locals in Brunswick have expressed fury over the project, which is being funded by a mix of private and public money and which has been heavily criticized by Donald Trump Jr. 

How is this even possible? I have photographed multiple LEGAL homeless Americans on this very blog and not one of them has been handed a FREE LUXURY APARTMENT TO LIVE IN RENT FREE FOR TWO YEARS!!!! 

Every single time LEGAL Americans are set out on the streets due to unaffordable housing, their tents are destroyed by the city, and they are abandoned by everyone. They are pushed around and pushed around with nowhere to go and are considered, “lucky” if they can get a bed in fucked up homeless shelter for the night. And even with that, they must leave the shelter by 7a.m. and while away the daytime hours until the shelter opens in the evening, usually around 8p.m.

There are few shelters that allow for a full day’s stay, and many of those are full with no waiting list availability. But no city or government official has offered even a fucked-up motel stay for homeless LEGAL Americans, but here come the ILLEGALS, and so move them right into a luxury, big ass apartment. Let them pass on by the homeless LEGAL Americans who are seniors and veterans sitting out on the streets unable to afford jacked up rents due to greedy scumlords since the majority of America’s housing supply is now owned by greedy corporations.

These people are homeless LEGAL Americans. Where are the FREE LUXURY APARTMENTS FOR THEM???!!!

I am sure he would like to lie down in a bed in any apartment, much less a luxury one. But the ILLEGALS take precedence over his situation.

And how about him?

He could certainly use a free luxury apartment that is being given to ILLEGALS!!!!

And what about this homeless senior? Don’t think that he could use a free apartment since I am quite sure he has worked most of his life only to find himself homeless at his age.

Your fucking grandpa!

The man in the above picture is the “newly” homeless. He was still trying to figure the shit out! But no one had approached him about a FREE, LUXURY APARTMENT. Why the fuck not?! Oh, my bad! He is NOT an ILLEGAL!!!

And what about this person?

Another of the “newly” homeless. Trying to figure it all out. Another homeless senior. Where is the FREE, LUXURY APARTMENT for her???!!

Or how about this person?

The man in the above picture is homeless and crazy and still, no one has offered him a FREE, LUXURY APARTMENT. Why the fuck not?! Oh, again! My bad! He is NOT an ILLEGAL!!!

And what about this next person?

This homeless dude was so tired, he just dropped to the ground and started snoring. Where is the FREE, LUXURY APARTMENT for him?! Dude is on the damn ground, and with crime soaring, he could have been murdered by some lunatic who went nuts thanks to this collapsing society. What the fuck??!!!

How does ANY of that make ANY sense??!!! LEGAL Americans getting this mistreatment, this much disrespect from those who are supposed to be handling OUR tax dollars in a way that would benefit those of us LEGAL Americans who have paid into the fucking system, but OUR tax dollars are going to fund FREE, LUXURY APARTMENTS and some more shit for ILLEGALS! Wrap your head around THAT shit!!!!

All of the pictures of LEGAL homeless Americans that you see depicted here, I took those pictures. They are REAL LEGAL HOMELESS AMERICANS. And what I have depicted here is not even the tip of the iceberg. Want more proof?!

This woman is also, the “newly” homeless, trying to figure shit out! Where is the FREE, LUXURY APARTMENT for her?

This homeless woman was just leaving a hotel since she had used up all her money to try and find a solution to being the “newly” homeless since she’s going through a divorce. The hubby sold the house from underneath her, emptied the bank accounts and she found herself in that predicament without a thought as to what to do about the shit! These are real people, real LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS who have fallen on hard times and not one government official has stepped in and offered them so much as a piece of bioengineered cheese to eat, much less have they been offered a FREE, LUXURY APARTMENT to live in.

And what about this woman?

She is so strung-out on drugs; she is damn near senseless. But no one has offered a FREE, LUXURY APARTMENT to her!!! Why not?! Maybe, if she was living in a stable situation, she could work on getting off drugs, but she most definitely is NOT going to be able to get off drugs while homeless!!!!!

Why hasn’t some government official taken the above woman’s situation seriously and decided to move her into a FREE, LUXURY APARTMENT so that she can work on getting clean??!!! Oh, AGAIN, my bad! She ain’t a fucking ILLEGAL!!! Go fucking figure!!!!

The fuck shit that is “in our face and what are we going to do about it,” is coming for US all!!!! What are YOU going to do about it??!! I’m out on the streets, daily trying to help these people!!! What are YOU doing??!!!

One Of Joe Biden’s Illegals Went On A Killing Spree In Rockford, Illinois And Knifed To Death FOUR LEGAL AMERICANS AND SEVERAL LEGAL AMERICANS ARE TRYING TO RECOVER IN THE HOSPITAL! Let That Shit Sink In!!!

Christian Ramon Soto, the latest of Joe Biden’s ILLEGALS to go the fuck off on a crime spree and murdered multiple LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS!!

 

Illegal Christian Ramon Soto, thanks to Joe Biden’s open border policy, murdered multiple LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS!! Let me be clear about that! This ILLEGAL murdered multiple LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!

 

Suspect Arrested After 4 Killed, 7 Injured in ‘Heinous’ Stabbing Spree

Illegal Christian Ramon Soto, thanks to Joe Biden’s open border policy, murdered multiple LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS!! Let me be clear about that! This ILLEGAL murdered multiple LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!

A man was arrested Wednesday after four people were killed and another seven were injured in a stabbing spree across several locations in Rockford, Illinois, authorities said.

Christian Soto, 22, was booked at the Winnebago County Jail early Thursday on 11 charges ranging from first-degree murder to attempted murder, along with another two charges of home invasion, according to online jail records.

 

Christian Ramon Soto, who is in this country, ILLEGALLY, went the fuck off because he was just too coddled by the Biden Administration and so decided to show his thanks for being so damn coddled by Joe Biden and the Democraps that he decided to attempt to knife to death as many LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS as he could, including a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL AND A POSTAL WORKER who was just doing their fucking job!

And where does the surname “Ramon” come from?

Spanish (Ramón): In Spanish-speaking regions, the name Ramón is quite common. It is a variant of the name Raymond. 

And where does the surname “Soto” come from?

Soto is a surname derived from a Spanish place-name that means “thicket” or “grove”¹². The place-name is from the Latin word “saltus,” which means “pasture land with a forest”¹. The surname Soto was first found in Castile, in north central Spain¹. Soto is also a common surname in Central and South America, due to Spanish colonization².

So, there you have it! Illegal dude ain’t thankful for Joe Biden and the Democraps ENCOURAGING him to come to the states and get free housing, free money, free interpreters, free clothing, free vehicles, free gas, free health care and free knives that he used to murder multiple LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS. The blood of Christian Ramon Soto’s victims are on the hands of Joe Biden and the Democraps and what’s more, there will be more LEGAL AMERICANS dying at the hands of these illegal invaders who have not been properly vetted or inoculated against diseases that had largely been irradicated in America. Why do you think measles and mumps are making a comeback? No one had heard of this mess until Biden and the Democraps started ENCOURAGING mass illegal immigration.

And don’t come up in here with no bullshit about how I am being divisive when it could have been my Black ass that was knifed to death thanks to the Biden Administration’s “open border” policies. Not to mention the fact that the Biden Administration has made it extremely appealing for these illegals to throw themselves across the border, and don’t forget the fact that the Biden Administration has been flying those illegals across the border by the hundreds of thousands and there are millions more on the way.

This is exactly why I had to cuss illegals out on a bus in Montgomery, County Md because those knife and machete wielding motherfuckers disrespect LEGAL Americans when they get over here and one of those illegal taco crunchers told me to shut up on a goddamn bus in AMERICA when his damn ass was from Central or South America and if he didn’t want to hear what I had to say on a goddamn bus in AMERICA, then he should have crawled his damn ass on back across the border. This is the shit that has been welcomed to this shithole making it descend even more rapidly and deeper into shithole status.

I cuss those illegals out every chance I get, and I am prepared if they have knives or machetes, which I in fact told that taco cruncher on that bus that he more than likely was going to pull a machete out and attack me if I didn’t shut up. Nevertheless, I did NOT shut the fuck up!!!

Folks, this is war! Those illegals have been on the news for beating cops’ asses in New York City and were released on that shit when LEGAL Americans are still sitting up in prisons for beating cops’ asses. What makes these illegals so damn important? Oh, that’s right. The Democraps in New York have asked the courts to uphold legislation giving ILLEGALS THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN ELECTIONS!!!!

NYC council asks state’s highest court to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections

The New York City Council asked the state’s highest court to strike down a pair of rulings in a move that would pave the way for noncitizen{ILLEGALS] immigrants to vote in city elections.

This is the shit that LEGALS AMERICANS are supposed to NOT have a problem with. Are they fucking serious?!!!

LEGAL Americans, you had better make sure that they don’t come for our guns because if they do, we are going to be more fucked up than we already are. I suggest you stay locked and loaded because for now, the ILLEGALS are using machetes and knives to attack us, but when the cartels get seriously established here, they will next be brandishing more lethal weapons as in guns. The ILLEGALS should NOT have the ability to obtain guns, legally in America, but with all the fuck shit going down, can we be certain that this is not the case?

Stay locked and loaded because at least FOUR LEGAL AMERICANS were knifed to death by an ILLEGAL dripped over here thanks to the Biden Administration and more of the like is already here and others are on the way.

And don’t forget, the ILLEGALS are welcome here for one huge ass reason, to work for little pay thus making corporations ever richer which is why there have been mass layoffs of LEGAL AMERICAN WORKERS in the news lately.

And one more thing, guess who got killed when that bridge collapsed in Baltimore, MD? ILLEGALS!

CASA, which provides critical services to working-class and immigrant families, confirmed in a statement that Luna was on the bridge when it collapsed Tuesday.

“Sadly, we discovered that one of the construction workers involved was a longtime member of our CASA family, adding an even deeper layer of sorrow to this already grievous situation,” CASA Executive Director Gustavo Torres said in the statement.

“Miguel Luna, from El Salvador, left at 6:30 p.m. Monday evening for work and … has not come home,” the statement said.

Two bodies were recovered, and it was discovered that they were men from Honduras and El Salvador and so you know that the rest who are presumed dead are also from some Central or South American country. I am not in mourning over them since if they had remained in their own countries and fixed whatever shit that was going on in their countries, they would not have been on that bridge fucking around filling potholes, or whatever the hell they were doing since everyone in the news and in the government lies, daily.

So, while an ILLEGAL murdered LEGAL Americans in Rockford Illinois, we are supposed to get out the purple crepe, black armbands and wail and moan over the demise of some “other” illegals that got fucked up by a bridge collapse in Baltimore, MD. Naw, I don’t think so! Since I have got to be more cautious when I am out and about because I don’t know if Jose or Ramon or Ramirez or Sanchez is going to knife my ass! Save your wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth for those LEGAL Americans who got knifed to death by an ILLEGAL in Rockford, Illinois. That’s what the fuck I’m going to do!!!!

 

 

Things Are Not Looking Good At All!

Folks, even though I have not been blogging like I used to does not mean that I am not aware of what is going on. I know only too well since I am out on the streets, daily. And I see the mess that has been deliberately let loose on humanity; those of us who are just trying to make it from one day to the next.

Stellantis announces hundreds of layoffs for white collar workers during ‘mass firing’ call

OAK PARK, Mich. (FOX 2) – A mechanical engineer knew something was wrong when the rumor mill at work began to spin: layoffs were incoming. 

They had begun to trickle into the office a couple of weeks ago. Then, around 8 p.m. on Thursday, about 400 workers at Stellantis got an email telling them not to come into the office on Friday.

Instead, it would be a mandatory remote work day. They were also told to attend an operational meeting at a designated time. That’s when the news dropped.

“It was a mass firing of everybody that was on the call,” the employee said.

I have been telling Americans that America is not owned by Americans anymore. Guess where Stellantis is headquartered? Amsterdam. Americans have been sold out by corporations that have merged with other corporations and all of them are headquartered overseas.

What are those people going to do who just got fired from Stellantis? Some of them may eventually end up on the streets, homeless like the man in the next picture.

Again, this is going to become all too familiar. In fact, it already is. Those who have been sitting, basking in the glow of their white-collar jobs are now having the rug pulled from underneath them. There were signs of what was coming and since many of those people knew what was coming and tried to prepare for it by initiating a job search, as you can see, the job search did not go very well since many had to remain at their jobs until they got a zoom call telling them not to come back to work.

Another sad situation is what’s going down with Tyson Foods since that company has been in the news lately over firing legal American workers and hiring illegals to take their place. And even though Tyson Foods is touted as an American-owned company, the Chinese are the majority stockholders and so in essence, it is a Chinese-owned company masquerading as an American-owned corporation.

Tyson Foods Sells Majority Stake To Chinese Company – CMHI

by Vallery – SEPTEMBER 29, 2022

“The China-based Shandong Bao Shuan Group has purchased a majority stake in the American chicken company, Tyson Foods. Shandong Bao Shuan will now own 79.5 percent of Tyson Foods, while the American company will maintain a 20.5 percent stake. This is the first time that a Chinese company has acquired a major American food producer. The deal was completed on Monday, and it is valued at $8.55 billion.”

As you can see, the plot thickens!

Tyson Foods Faces Boycott After Report Claims Company Hires Migrants

Tyson Foods is facing boycott calls following a report that the company planned to hire migrants to work at its factories.

Now, even though Tyson Foods retracted a statement regarding hiring illegals after having fired legal Americans, the fact remains that Tyson Foods has not been upfront about who owns the company and so it is not a stretch of the imagination to believe that Tyson Foods would not lie about whether or not it was planning to fire legal Americans and hire illegals. It has been done before. And I have covered that on this very blog. Archive to your heart’s content.

HUL Announces Mass Layoffs: Over 7,000 Jobs To Be Cut, Magnum Ice Cream Business To Get Separated – Check Details

FMCG major Hindustan Unilever (HUL) is set to lay off 7,500 employees and the company announced the separation of its ice cream unit into a standalone business as part of a cost-saving initiative, The company said in a press release that it is planning to complete the restructuring by the end of next year.

Are you beginning to get the picture?

Amid mass layoffs across the US, Dollar Tree announces nearly 1,000 Family Dollar store closures

Many of the stores to be closed are located in rural areas and impoverished towns and cities. The Family Dollar chain has 8,000 stores in the US and Canada and is owned by Dollar Tree, one of the largest discount chains of its kind. In many areas of the country, a Family Dollar store represents the only option for groceries and other goods, with larger supermarkets several hours’ driving away.

What is going on?

The full list of major US companies slashing staff this year, from IBM to Google and Microsoft

A slew of companies across the tech, media, finance, and retail industries made significant cuts to staff in 2023. Tech titans like IBM, Google, Microsoft, finance giants like Goldman Sachs, and manufacturers like Dow all announced layoffs.

2024 is looking grim too. And it’s only March.

Nearly 40% of business leaders surveyed by ResumeBuilder think layoffs are likely at their companies this year, and about half say their companies will implement a hiring freeze.

And yet, the Biden Administration has been secretly flying illegals into the U.S. for quite some time.

Biden DHS pressed for answers on 386,000 immigrants flown directly into US cities

EXCLUSIVE — House Republicans are pressing the Biden administration to provide information about a government phone app that allowed immigrants outside the United States to apply for permission to fly into the U.S. to be screened for admission.

In a letter sent to President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday, 18 GOP lawmakers demanded information on the “advanced travel authorizations” program that has allowed immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S.

Has anybody figured out what the hell is going on yet? All I know is that the sheer numbers of newly homeless are skyrocketing. And laws are being passed in different states to criminalize homelessness as with the recent laws about to hit the books in Florida, whereas it is against the law for the homeless to sit and rest on sidewalks, parks and in other public spaces.

A look at how the new law banning Florida’s homeless from sleeping in public works

Florida’s homeless will be banned from sleeping on sidewalks and in parks and other public spaces under a law signed Wednesday by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Remember these pictures?

Florida has just made that a criminal act. As if those who are inside a tent on the sidewalk can help their plight when you can see for yourself that mass homelessness is going to be the result of endless layoffs coming down the pike and so LEGAL Americans are all going to be sitting up in prisons all across America while illegals are working for peanuts at Tyson Foods, Unilever, Smithfield Meat Packing Plants, Chipotles, Taco Bells, Days Inn, Extended Stay Americas and the list is also endless.

Americans are being replaced which is why illegals coming into America were not met with masked health officials insisting on rolling up their sleeves and injecting them with Covid bioweapons as in what happened to millions of LEGAL Americans. Is this the “Great Replacement?” Are your votes even going to matter come November? Will you even have a home come November since a pink slip is about to meet you via a zoom call from your “former” employer? The writing has been on the wall for quite some time now and even though there has only been about four years to prepare for this. Is anyone ever really ready for the bottom to completely fall out?

Laws are soon coming to a city, hamlet, burg, village, township near you that will make it a criminal offense to prop a tent up when you have been fired from your job and evicted from your home. And when that happens, there goes your health because take it from me, I am still trying to recover lost sleep from when I was homeless for eight months last year. I do not think that I shall ever be the same, in fact, I am certain of it and yet despite all hell, I am out on the streets every single day, helping the homeless when and where I can. The next picture is what today is looking like and I was out there helping the homeless.

It is much worse now and will continue snowing at least until Tuesday morning. And if I can dig myself out, I will be out in search of those who need rescuing from homelessness and the snow tomorrow. I hope that those of you who read this will never need help from those of us who are trying to help the homelessness. May you never experience homelessness.

Tonight, it will not be a fit night out for man nor beast, but man will surely be outside in the midst of a deep and unrelenting snowstorm. Have mercy!

A Silent, Cold Embrace!

 

 

Fluffy white and soft,
it blankets me this night.

Hidden by powdery flakes,
are stiffening limbs of ice.

Gently caressing my face,
and melting in my mouth,
a silent, cold embrace,
it hides the ugly truth,
that I lie on concrete, hard.

No dreams I’ll ever know,
with open, staring eyes,
buried beneath the snow.

I pray none of you who read this will ever experience homelessness. I pray you don’t!

 

 

SIGH! It’s Just Another Day!

It’s Just Another Day!

I feel the cold wind blow.
They’re calling for more snow.
A homeless person stumbles by.
The sight just makes me cry.

Their life is not so great.
No home. No dinner plate.
Just rags and aching feet.
And those like you they meet.

They’ve no island paradise.
No fruity drink with ice.
No glorious sunset to see.
They can’t afford the fee.

It’s just another day,
of trying to make a way.
No place to lay their head.
No permanent, stable bed.

Will I turn my back on them?
Console them with a hymn?
Shall I point out God is good?
I really don’t think I should.

Who knows if they believe,
or could possibly conceive
of a deity high above,
who shows such lack of love?

I can’t justify my faith
when I see a homeless wraith.
No sermon could I preach.
No belief within my reach.

Tell the homeless about hell.
Don’t you know they live that tale?
With each day that brings defeat.
Because they’re not one of the elite.

There is a severe weather alert calling for snow from Sunday morning through Tuesday. Not a good time to be homeless, not that ANY time is a ‘good’ time to be homeless. But when the weather gets really, really bad, it is so much worse to be without a home.

The above poem was the first poem I ever wrote for this blog back in February of 2013 and now it is, 2024, and I am still posting poems, marching through the streets to showcase the homeless dead, been homeless my damn self, and still, I sit here, uselessly re-posting this poem to do what? Hell if I know. But at least when you get no blog from me, that means that I am out on the streets helping those I blog about. Expect less and less blogs from me as there are more and more homeless people to help. Would that there were more who are helping, but, alas, I must take what I can get; those few souls like me who give a damn!

Housing And Urban Development Head, Marcia Fudge Is Resigning Claiming That HUD’s Budget Of $3 Billion Is Not Enough, $70 Billion Is Needed. How Much Has Biden Thrown At Ukraine?

I have to hand it to her; Marcia Fudge tried her best to improve the lives of those who are poverty stricken and cannot afford to pay rent without badly needed assistance from Housing and Urban Development.

HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge to resign, says affordable housing is ‘an American issue’

Fudge worries there’s not enough funding for all the work still needed, including building more affordable housing and repairing aging public housing developments.

She wished the agency had gotten more than $3 billion to improve public housing and multi-family housing. The need is more than $70 billion, she said.

Now, how much imaginary American taxpayer dollars has Joe Biden thrown at Ukraine so that Zelensky could purchase multi-million-dollar yachts, and multi-million-dollar condos in Dubai?

$113 billion: Where the US investment in Ukraine aid has gone

In August, as part of a larger request that included domestic disaster relief funding, the White House asked Congress to approve another $24 billion for Ukraine. This money would go to a variety of things, including replenishing the Pentagon’s arsenal with equipment sent to Ukraine.

It is crystal clear that the Biden Administration is not about the business of helping American citizens who have descended into abject poverty thanks to outrageous inflation, overpriced garbage in grocery stores masquerading as food, over-inflated rents due to greedy corporations raking in the dough from skint Americans who cannot afford to pay rent, put food on the table, pay daycare expenses for their children while they work; the whole nine yards. Because it is essential that U.S. defense and military contractors make out like the damn bandits they are by being thrown our imaginary tax dollars.

Boeing, Lockheed Martin, RTX Corporation, Northrup Grumman Corporation and other manufacturers of the war machines are making a killing hand over foot by being continuously supplied with our tax dollars to crank out weapons of war, while housing homeless people is consigned to a mere afterthought by indifferent politicians.

Housing and Urban Development could have been fully funded, and no one need sit out on the streets, dying because they are homeless, but because war will always win out, profits over people will always take precedence, wars will be funded first and foremost to the detriment of humankind.

I have posted picture after picture on this very blog of homeless encampment after homeless encampment. I have depicted “The Homeless Memorial March” that took place back in December, whereas we marched through the streets holding a sign with a dead homeless person’s name on it and many were elderly people and even a homeless baby was depicted on one of the signs.

Meanwhile, the Biden Administration is trying to get Americans to understand that Americans need to re-elect Biden when we did not elect his ass in the first place since the election was stolen from Donald Trump. And it is highly likely that the same scenario is going to play out again. Nothing that is going on today makes any sense at all. We have keyboard warriors holding forth telling us that they need to continue to sit at the keyboard and with microphone hooked up, tell us to take to the streets while they merely remind us that our shit is fucked up when no one need be reminded of that shit since people like me are out on the streets doing the damn leg work while the keyboard warrior crew beg for donations and superchat money on Youtube videos. I don’t ask y’all for a goddamn thing because I don’t believe in capitalism. Capitalism can kiss my ass! You will never find me with begging cap in hand asking for a damn donation so that I can continue to sit on Youtube and post video after video lambasting others for not doing a damn thing about a damn thing when I’m not either.

I take my ass out on the streets, daily, helping homeless people find a place to stay at night, giving them money for a hot meal or even buying the hot meal for them. I wear the soles of my two pairs of shoes out marching to showcase the homeless who died for lack of a home, and I ask nothing of anyone for doing so. My Black ass sat out on the streets, homeless for eight damn months during the coldest part of the year and I never begged a soul for anything even though I went days and weeks without eating, weeks at a time without sleeping. But never did I beg for one damn crumb, but I will not demonize those who do beg. They are just not as stubborn and stupid as I am because when they are hungry, they know to beg to see if they can get fed. I have given bus fare to those who did not have it and the bus driver refused to give them a “courtesy ride” and it was cold as fuck outside. I am not tooting my own horn, but I am showcasing the difference between being all talk and walking the damn walk. Those of you who merely sit somewhere in the comfort of your home, get your asses up and walk the walk and stop merely talking about what needs to be done. Nothing gets done by merely talking about it. That helps who?

You can see that the damn government is not going to step in and do a damn thing since the focus will always remain on finding countries to make war against as opposed to putting our money where it will do the most good and housing homeless people would do the most good which is why Housing and Urban Development will never be fully funded, but you can bet your candy ass that the Department of Defense will continue to receive a bloated budget to fund wars started by this shithole!

As to Marcia Fudge stepping down, I don’t blame you. You did what you could with what you had, and you are to be commended for lasting as long as you did because it cannot have been easy seeing so much need and trying to make such a limited budget, work. My hat is off to you, Ms. Fudge. At the age of 71, you most definitely deserve to retire and spend time with your elderly mother. And you are right when you say that “Affordable housing is an American issue.” It is not just a Black issue; it is not just a white issue. It is an American issue, especially since I have showcased that fact on this very blog. There are millions of homeless Black Americans as well as homeless white Americans. Don’t believe it? Check out the pictures of these homeless people.

 

 

 

Homeless man sleeping on the ground since HUD will never be fully funded since the Biden Administration and each presidential Administration before and after will continue to fund wars to the detriment of America’s most vulnerable. Homelessness is NOT a Black or white issue, it is an “American issue.”

Homeless, thanks to poverty and the fact that Housing and Urban Development will never be fully funded.

Homeless and strung-out on drugs. Remember the crack epidemic that decimated Black communities all across this country? Now, we have fentanyl that is killing everyone.

Homeless thanks to a lack of affordable housing and HUD’s budget is woefully inadequate to keep up with the need for affordable housing.

We continue to march through the streets carrying the signs depicting the names of the homeless dead since housing is not considered a “human right.” War rights are more important!

Homeless encampments will continue to grow all across America thanks to elected officials’ complete disregard for the health and wellbeing of America’s citizens.

And to think, our ancestors built the White House, and this is not far from the White House, and this is where the descendants of those who built the damn White House have to reside, a damn homeless shelter.

More Americans will end up in fucked up homeless shelters like the one pictured above whereas I had to stay when I was evicted for paying my rent for five goddamn years, paid it early each month and still got evicted and ended up in that fucked up homeless shelter. Racism and war will never end.

A homeless encampment full of American descendants of slavery.

This is what happens when people have no home. This is what happens when we ignore mass homelessness. It grows. It would cost less to house people than to continue to encourage homelessness to explode. Do you think that homeless people are healthy and since they are not, what happens? They cost more money with emergency room visits; crime is higher as well since people with nothing will get by somehow. But yet, the mainstream media blames these people for being too broke to afford the outrageous cost of housing.

How in the world are Indians homeless? The sign says it all!!!

Believe me, we will ALL regret not demanding fully funding Housing and Urban Development. We will ALL regret continuous wars. When we refuse to help the least of us, the most of us will soon follow. Wait for it. Your turn is coming. No one is immune to this. No one.

 

Biden Says, “Black Folks, Vote For Me, I Got Yo Back!” Oh, Really? How So, Joe Biden??!!

Yeah! Joe Biden got our back, alright, and it’s looking like this!

Thanks to Joe Biden, our backs look like that! And who the hell wants that??!!! 

But Biden wants Black people to understand and get with the program that he has our back like no other racist in America. Ain’t that some shit!!

Biden repeats promise to Black Americans: ‘I have your back’

“I have your back, as much as any president has in American history since Lyndon Johnson,” Biden responded. “Black wealth has increased by 60 percent, across the board.”

Well, Biden, explain THIS shit!

More than 50% of homeless families are black, government report finds

African Americans, despite making up just 13% of the U.S. population, account for a staggeringly disproportionate chunk of the nation’s homeless population, according to a government report.

And Biden, while you are at it, explain THIS!

Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands

ANGOLA, La. (AP) — A hidden path to America’s dinner tables begins here, at an unlikely source – a former Southern slave plantation that is now the country’s largest maximum-security prison.

Unmarked trucks packed with prison-raised cattle roll out of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where men are sentenced to hard labor and forced to work, for pennies an hour or sometimes nothing at all. After rumbling down a country road to an auction house, the cows are bought by a local rancher and then followed by The Associated Press another 600 miles to a Texas slaughterhouse that feeds into the supply chains of giants like McDonald’s, Walmart and Cargill.

Get to explaining ALL that shit, Biden. But yet, you want to talk about what you’ve done for small Black-owned businesses. You mean, the corner Black-owned barbershop? Because those have been around for ages, but not much else since millions of Black people, including children are sitting out on the streets, homeless. Where is the Black wealth of which you speak Biden?

Is it here? Because this Black woman is homeless. She doesn’t have a Black-owned business.

How do you have her Black back, Biden??!!!!

And what about this, Biden?

She is HOMELESS as well, and so how do YOU have HER back, Joe Biden???!!!

Yet another homeless Black woman who does not have a Black-owned business, Biden. How do you have HER back, Biden?

And what about this??!!

This Black woman is toting her belongings around on a damn bus. She doesn’t have a small Black-owned business, Biden. Why not? Since you claim to have been most efficient at improving the stats with regards to Black people owning small businesses. And why do the all Black-owned nonexistent businesses have to be small? Why do you not claim that Black folks have huge, mega corporations, Biden? You foul, piece of old, racist filth!!! Explain this next picture, Biden!

Yet another homeless Black woman who does not have a small Black-owned business that you speak of, Biden. Why not? She’s Black. You claim to have our back and so why is this Black woman homeless if you claim to have her damn back, Biden?

And what about this next picture, Biden? Care to explain it??!!

This a fucking homeless encampment where used to dwell multiple Black homeless people but the slave patrols came along and demolished that and sent those Black people who the fuck knows where? But they were not sent into their own small, Black-owned businesses, Biden. Why didn’t you have THEIR back, Biden? Care to explain this!

And yet ANOTHER homeless encampment made up of homeless Black Americans otherwise known as ADOS, American descendants of slavery, Joe Biden. Where are their small Black-owned businesses, Joe Biden?

Can you explain this, Joe Biden?

Homeless Black men with nowhere to go in the winter since they don’t have a small Black-owned business, Joe Biden, nor do they have a damn home. Why not? Since you claim to have their back? You fucking racist piece of shit!

Where are all the small Black-owned businesses, Biden? Could you tell us? The homeless Black folks depicted here want to know!

This Black woman in the above picture is most definitely certain that you do NOT have her or her baby’s back, Biden since both are homeless. Why doesn’t she have a small, Black-owned business, Biden? You said you’ve got her back, so what’s the damn problem, Biden? You lying, filthy, racist dog!

And as if the fuck shit Biden has already said is not bad enough, get a load of this!

Biden torched for claiming ‘undocumented’ immigrants ‘built this country’ after saying same of middle class

President Biden received criticism online for claiming in a recent interview that “undocumented” immigrants built this country.

“In his SOTU speech he said unions and the middle class built this country, now he says ‘undocumented’ immigrants built the country. Any guess as to who he will say built the country the next time he’s speaking to an African-American audience?” journalist Jeff Gremillion wrote on X. 

That filthy, lying bastard is now claiming that some damn “undocumented immigrants” built this country when this country was built on the backs of Black slaves, who received not one thin dime for all their hard work and toil for no fucking money whatsoever and white racists like Joe Biden are still trying to deny slavery to this very day, but wants to yarn on and on about having the backs of Black people in this shithole!! My fucking rage knows no bounds!

Our Black asses are still considered three-fifths of a human to this very day since nothing has changed, not to mention the fact that slavery was NEVER abolished, it just morphed into the PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, which is still using slave labor to produce free shit for corporations to sell!

This shithole is going to continue to explode until not one blade of grass is unsinged. This shithole is going to continue to collapse until every single ass in it is fucked all the hell the way up!

If Joe Biden got our backs, then once again, this is what the fuck our backs look like!!!

If that is a “good” condition for our backs to be in, then yeah, Joe Biden most definitely got OUR fucking backs! But since that shit ain’t a good look or a “good” feel, then fuck that piece of vile, racist shit!! If any of you Black folks out there vote for this unhinged, racist lunatic, you will continue to get exactly what you have been getting from his tired, old, racist ass; a back that looks like what’s depicted above and you most certainly won’t be enjoying owning a small Black-owned business. Joe Biden has done nothing for Black people beyond incarcerating our asses and making sure that we don’t own shit since he has had four goddamn years to do something to improve the plight of Black America and what the fuck is there to show for Biden’s four years of having our damn backs? Mass homelessness, extreme poverty, income inequality, a school-to-prison pipeline, medical experimentation, mass incarceration, Black child poverty off the charts, high Black infant mortality rates, Black mothers dying during childbirth in unprecedented numbers, high Black unemployment rates, low educational attainment, no Black-owned businesses of which to speak and the list of the like is endless, but no gains are anywhere to be found. But this joker wants our Black asses to walk inside a voting booth and vote for this same shit! Don’t continue to act like you’ve been dropped on your damn heads, Black folks. Don’t continue to fall for the bullshit! But don’t you dare march into a damn voting booth and vote for this piece of depraved, barbaric, racist filth that IS Joe fucking Biden because when a motherfucker got our backs looking like that shit, we need to fuck this shit up!!!!

 

 

 

My Apartment Building Was Just on Fire! For The Love Of!!!! What The Hell Is Going On???!!!

Now remember, I was recently homeless for 8 months, was just housed back in May of last year, had to sue the landlord, had my computer held for ransom which I did not pay, and the hackers released my shit since they could get not one thin dime from me since I don’t buy shit online nor do I engage in online banking. I purchased a new computer even though the hackers released my computer that they had tried to hold for ransom for two whole hours before realizing how futile it was. Then this morning, someone set my apartment building on fire!

Multiple fire trucks finally arrived on the scene. And when I called 911, they pretended to have a hard time understanding me. My southern accent is not that strong. It took 20 minutes for the damn fire department to show up. I guess they were hoping that us poor, fucked up folks were damn near turned to crisps by the time they arrived.

And of course, the fire was on my floor. Those of us who do not do drugs had complained to management about the very apartment that caused the fire, the drug apartment. The other night, the drug fumes woke me from a sound sleep. I had to close my bedroom door and open the damn windows in order to get some damn air to enable me to stop coughing from the drug fumes. Now, the bitches are burned out because when the fire department dude came with me up in the elevator, we passed by the apartment that had been on fire and VOILA! It was, indeed, the apartment that has been a problem since those damn drug addicts moved in. I am so damn glad their shit got fried, toasted and oven roasted, I can barely contain myself. I knew that shit was a fire just waiting to happen and it did! And what’s more, no one could find a fire extinguisher anywhere in the building. The Africans made sure that I got down the stairs with my walker. They provided a shield between me and the apartment that was on fire and I could not thank them enough for their sensitivity and kindness. I have been too hard on Africans, because they were there for me when I was trying to get my ass out of the building to escape the damn fire and the Africans made sure that they would burn up before I did. 

We got out of the building and folks were still trying to find a fire extinguisher because it was taking the damn fire department too damn long to show up! I sat outside and damn near froze while on the phone with 911. The police arrived on the scene first. When you call 911 and screechingly express a serious need for the fire department, the fire department should arrive on the scene first, but nothing fucking doing. I almost had to go to the hospital due to smoke inhalation since I could not stop coughing. I am extremely sensitive to smoke, which is why it burns me the fuck up, (no pun intended) that weed, and shit is being legalized all over the goddamn place since folks like me are having to deal with health issues as a direct result of that shit!

I started to head to a hotel but was not about to pay for a full night when it was already after 1:00a.m. and checkout is at 11:00a.m. Y’all know how I hate wasting money, especially since I had to invest in a new computer since my shit got hacked. Some serious shit is going down because all of the mess that has been impacting me cannot be a coincidence. From deliberately being forced into homelessness after having paid my rent for FIVE GODDAMN YEARS, AND PAID IT EARLY, to suing the landlord multiple times to getting hacked and my shit held for ransom which they never received, to finding out that I am on the “No Fly” list and so cannot board a plane, to now being in yet ANOTHER fire a mere few hours ago! What the hell is going on??!!!!

Not to mention, when I was sitting outside watching the firemen go inside the building, reach the floor I reside and then see a window open and black smoke billowing out for several minutes, it was just too much!! I damn near swooned since I had recently given up drinking, yet again! But today, Sunday, the liquor store opens at 10:00a.m. and at 10:05a.m., I will be heading inside because I’ve been shook. Again, this is not the first time that I have been in an apartment fire. I made the news in Baltimore, MD for saving the lives of 16 families because I happen to have been up drinking when some crackhead passed out and left a pan of food on the stove, started the fire and burned the whole building down and severely damaged the one connected to it. Those goddamn drug addicts!!!!!

So, to those of you who I promised to catch up on your blogs since I have been away from the blog world for a minute, it’s going to have to wait, but I will eventually get to catching up on your great content, but right now, I got the hounds of hell, quite obviously, chasing my ass from here to kingdom come. And first of firsts today, is to get a damn drink! Lord! Every single damn time I quit drinking, some fuck shit happens and sends me running for the champagne bottle. DAMN!!!! Now, off to bed, I go!!!! Once again, I escaped being a crispy critter. Hope my “luck” don’t run out ’cause….goddamn!!! What the hell!!!!!

Women, Keep Your Damn Legs Closed! You Are Killing Your Babies By Giving Them Syphilis And Pfizer Refuses To Release Penicillin Shots To Cure That Shit! Pfizer Is Too Pissed Off That The Covid Vaccines And Boosters Hype Done Collapsed!

What the fucking hell is going on?! I had no idea that syphilis was so problematic, but then, I have not dated for well over a decade. Ain’t shit out here that’s good enough for me to spit on much less, lie down with and get up with who the hell knows what. But it would seem that what many women are getting up with is syphilis and are giving it to their babies and killing them!

Syphilis Is Killing Babies. The U.S. Government Is Failing to Stop the Disease From Spreading.

Syphilis, which is typically spread during sex, can be devastating if it goes untreated in pregnancy: About 40% of babies born to women with untreated syphilis can be stillborn or die as newborns, according to the CDC. Infants that survive can suffer from deformed bones, excruciating pain or brain damage, and some struggle to hear, see or breathe. Since this is entirely preventable, a baby born with syphilis is a shameful sign of a failing public health system.

Seriously??!!! A dick dipped in gold ain’t worth getting syphilis or ANY STD or STI over and it don’t make no sense that in the year 2024, women are still opening their legs to every Tom, Dick and Harry to crawl between them and give them a horrifying sexually transmitted disease that is killing their babies and fucking them up as well. What the hell is wrong with women out there?! Men are a given. Their asses have always been stank, no good, filthy and just a bunch of dogs salivating like a bitch in heat over anything in a skirt. But must women be so damn complicit in the spread of STDs/STIs when you know what men are like? And to make matters worse, read THIS shit!

Across the country, physicians, clinic staff and public health experts say that the shortage is preventing them from reining in a surge of syphilis and that the federal government is downplaying the crisis. State and local public health authorities, which by law are responsible for controlling the spread of infectious diseases, report delays getting medicine to pregnant people with syphilis. This emergency was predictable: There have been shortages of this drug in eight of the last 20 years.

Yet federal health authorities have not prevented the drug shortages in the past and aren’t doing much to prevent them in the future.

Twenty years ago, there were at least three manufacturers of the syphilis shot. Then Pfizer, one of the manufacturers, purchased the other two companies and became the lone U.S. supplier.

Pfizer’s supply has fallen short since then. In 2016, the company announced a shortage due to a manufacturing issue; it lasted two years. Even during times when Pfizer had not notified the FDA of an official shortage, clinics across the country told ProPublica, the shots were often hard to get.

This bears repeating!

TWENTY YEARS AGO, THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE MANUFACTURERS OF THE SYPHILIS SHOT. THEN PFIZER, ONE OF THE MANUFACTURERS, PURCHASED THE OTHER TWO COMPANIES AND BECAME THE LONE U.S. SUPPLIER!!!!!!

Wait a minute! Pfizer had NO problem rushing through a damn bioweapon in the form of Covid 19 vaccines and boosters; sending that shit down the pike in record time to rake in record profits but is dilly dallying when it comes to providing a damn penicillin shot??!!! Pfizer was able to manufacture enough bioweapons to murder the entire population of Earth with those Covid bioweapons called, “vaccines and boosters,” but when it comes to saving the lives of babies and their mothers, they can’t do shit??!!!

Folks, are you getting a serious ass idea of what we are up against, here? Demented lunatics, that’s what!!! How in the hell does this even make any sense??!! Pfizer can come up with a brand, spanking new mRNA bioweapon in record time, but cannot produce penicillin shots for syphilis patients for the last 20 years????!!!!! Do you folks see what is really going on? The focus is to MURDER people since that is what those Covid bioweapons were designed to do and so since syphilis kills, what’s the point in making a cure available when all across the board, the aim is to kill US all?!!! This is exactly why you need to take care of your health! This is why you cannot count on or depend on the quacks, or on the government or on big pharma to do what is in your best interest when it comes to your health and that of your loved ones. The object: the endgame is to destroy us hence why there is no rush to produce necessary medication that could treat syphilis and so babies are dying all across this country as a result. 

Dick ain’t worth dying for! I am so damn glad that I have not laid eyes on a dick for over a damn decade, I am about to do a goddamn anti-dick dance! Do not say that you were not warned because I am warning you about the dangers of sick dicks out there just waiting to infect unsuspecting, trusting, dumb ass women who still believe that dicks are the answer to life when it is quite obvious that dicks are the opposite of life since sick dicks are killing your babies! Wake the fuck up! Why would you even want to bring a baby into this fucked up world anyway, and then to find out that not only are you pregnant, but a dirty dick is killing your baby and making you sick??!!! You women out there need your brain cells to hold hands and realize that a dick is not the answer to what you need in order to live. Sick dicks are killing you and your babies! Close your damn legs immediately!!!! And for those of you who this message reaches too damn little, too damn late, I am so fucking sorry for your plight and that of your baby’s.

The only thing that might help at this point is if the head of Pfizer comes down with sick dick syndrome, gives it to his partner and that partner throws a damn fit and sues his ass! Other than that, I highly doubt that Pfizer will rev up the production of the penicillin shots that you need to cure syphilis. For the love of!!! Shit just gets more and more unreal as the days go by! SIGH!!!! 

STOP HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX!!!!

It SO ain’t worth it!!!!

White Folks Strung Out On Drugs And Homeless. Welcome To OUR World, White Folks. Us Black Folks Knew You’d Be Joining Our Asses!

I have not been blogging because my shit was hacked, and the hackers tried to demand ransom for my shit, and I told them to go to hell. They then released my shit! And y’all can keep hacking my shit because I have never purchased ANYTHING online, nor have I ever participated in online banking and so what you expected to get from me, I don’t fucking know but I cussed your asses out. My shit been released, I’ve just been too busy to blog. But as usual, I digress.

I don’t even know how she knew when she reached her stop. When she finally lifted her head, her forehead was fucked up from having fallen on it. It was split open.

That white woman was so strung-out out on drugs, it was ridiculous and guess who asked her if she was alright? Not a white person, not an illegal, but a Black man asked this strung-out white woman if she was alright. Ain’t that a bitch? Black folks are still the most sensitive, caring, kind and compassionate humans on this entire planet when we are the ones who are fucked up by those who we are asking if they are alright. That’s humanitarian shit right there. Not dropping bombs and drones on folks all across the damn planet. But look at what your own kind are allowing to happen to you, whites!

Take another look!

Homeless, nodding and strung-out on drugs AND white too!!! Ain’t that a bitch, whites? Your own kind done thrown your white asses under the damn bus alongside the rest of us. I saw this shit coming years ago and covered the shit on this very blog, but no one paid any heed, but now it is “in your face and what are you going to do about it?” ain’t it, whites?

Ask this white lady what she intends to do about recently joining the homeless in America.

This white woman was pissed off and some more shit that she had to tote her belongings from her hotel to a shelter because she had run out of money for a hotel and had to leave. According to her, she is in the process of a divorce, has no lawyer and the hubby cleared out the bank account. Go figure! She doesn’t know what to do. Sounds like many married women who have depended on their husbands for everything from paying the bills to taking care of all financial responsibilities while the wife maintained the home and did not work.

I’m so glad my dumb ass started work at the age of 15, I don’t know what to do because I knew even at that age to not depend on anyone but myself. I worked and purchased my first car, took care of insurance, maintenance; the whole nine yards years before I ever thought of marriage, and so when I left that piece of shit that I eventually married, I did not have to put down on an application that I had no work experience since I’d plenty under my belt. But many women are lost and clueless when faced with divorce like the woman in the above picture. She ain’t hardly happy about her plight and trying to get hooked up with someone at her age in life is going to be difficult since men are always looking for some young thang to latch onto.

Not to mention, while I was out and about, I came across this sign and it spoke volumes.

 “EAT HEALTHY, FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!!” Words to live by.

 

For those having a hard time reading the sign, it says,

“EAT HEALTHY, FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!”

Obviously, the White Castle that this sign was written on has been closed. That seems to be the status quo. Hardly any new businesses are opening, and multiple businesses are closing daily, and many are closing with no advanced notice. Shit is hitting the fan in ways never before seen. Homelessness and rampant drug use is at epidemic levels as are business closures. There are signs everywhere that chaos, pandemonium and bedlam reign. In this area, teens are committing armed robberies by the dozens, daily. Carjackings are at an all-time high all across the country. There has been hardly any winter season this year and as the warm weather approaches, expect to see more serious shit go down that you’ve never seen before.

White folks, did you ever think you’d see the day when YOUR day would be damn near as dark as Black folks’ days have ALWAYS been? Well, you are about to get a front row seat to OUR world. “Welcome!”

 

Suicide Is NOT The Answer!!!! Please Don’t Kill Yourself, Black Man!!!!

Please listen to me!!!! Suicide is NOT the answer!!!! Please seek help!!!!!!

 

Dude, your poetry is what drew me to your website, and though I am the last person who could “man” the suicide hotline,” I am going to try my best to encourage you to seek help from a Black psychiatrist/therapist since Black folks have a special kind of situation in America, and if we are suffering through a mental health crisis, heading to a white psychiatrist/therapist is not the answer.

This is your second post in a row about dealing with suicidal thoughts and feelings, and since you have two young children, it is imperative that you get the help that you need. I know that you are considering them since you have mentioned them in both of your recent posts. I also noticed that you did not mention your wife as what was also holding you back from committing suicide. Please try getting your wife to go along with you to a marriage counselor to see if you two can get your marriage back on track since it is quite telling that you don’t include nice thoughts of your wife in keeping you from committing suicide.

I realize that I have been hard on Black men on this blog, and I apologize for that because I need to realize and understand that the Black man in America is in a unique position. He is in a position unlike any other on this planet. The Black man has to maneuver this white supremacy system, all while trying to protect the Black woman, and he often feels as though he has failed not only himself, but the Black woman and children as well. Hurt people, hurt people and though I am not saying that Black men who hurt Black women should get a pass simply because they are hurt individuals as well, it stands to reason that we are all victims of white supremacy and as such, we are under attack, ALWAYS! And that can have a devastating impact on anyone’s mental health.

Your situation is exactly why I refuse to enter into anymore relationships since I have found myself to be at more peace with myself thanks to being alone, but since you have two small children, that would be difficult for you since you and your wife, if you were to separate and divorce, would more than likely fight over who is to have physical custody of the children as opposed to visitation rights. I am pretty sure that you are so overwhelmed at this point since it seems hopeless to remain in your marriage with someone who, for whatever reason, is no longer the person you want to be with, but now, the two of you have two children to consider. Your days are looking long, and your nights seem longer, I am pretty sure. And we are not getting any younger. You may think that since you failed once at this marriage thing, that it will always be that way. Let me tell you something.

I exited a marriage and that is when I had the time of my life, and you can too. When I left my ex, and moved on, I was walking down the street in search of a bank to cash my first paycheck, and finding none, stamped my foot on the pavement, screeched, and from somewhere out of the blue, a man said, “Hit me! Take it out on me!” I turned in the direction of where the voice was coming from, and there stood the tallest, handsomest Black man I ever did see. He was so solid and sturdy, and he was in uniform, and when I came up to him, he repeated, “Take it out on me! Hit me! You can’t hurt me!” I laughed. I told him that I was not going to hit him in the middle of the street and get arrested for assault, and he threw back that beautiful head of his and guffawed. Then he picked me up, and we locked lips like we were never going to let go. When he put me back down, I damn near swooned and had to be captured in his arms again. *wink* The rest is lust filled history. Damn, I am thinking about him now. Those lips!

I typed all of that to let you know that life does not have to be over just because the two of you no longer are as committed to each other as you once were. And even though children are involved, the two of you can sit down like adults, before a marriage counselor, and get help in figuring out where to go from here. As well, you can seek psychiatric help along with therapy to help enable you to process the horrible thoughts that you have been having in wanting to end it all because things did not go as you may have planned. Sometimes, standing at the altar and promising to love, honor and cherish til death do you part, does not happen and your death should not be a result of you feeling that the only way for you to be completely free is to commit suicide. Suicide is never the answer, and your children need you. They would be devastated if you were no longer in their lives. Please, consider seeking help in the form of a psychiatrist/therapist and a marriage counselor. I am taking those two recent posts of yours as a “cry for help,” and this is my response.

And to Black women in America, our men are suffering. We think that they don’t care about us, and some may not, but this particular Black man is suffering, and he is more than likely suffering due to feeling overwhelmed by having to maneuver through a system that is intent on beating him down. We know all too well what he is experiencing since we are subjected to the very same shit!! Sometimes, we need to be the strong one. We need our man to be able to lean on us for a bit. We need to step up to the plate, like we always do and let our man know that he means the world to us. If the Black man is not beating your ass, but is showing signs of strain and anguish, let him know that you are there for him. Help him on his journey to better mental health. We are never going to all be mentally fit and well since we can do nothing to stop white supremacy’s shit, but we can have each other’s back and try and seek help when we need it. We have got to stop being each other’s enemy as that is not the answer. And I have been guilty of this, and I need to stop being the problem as opposed to trying to be a part of the solution. Our Black men need us, and we need them.

Suicidal dude, I am not going to post your name or your website here, but since you used to follow my blog, I am hoping that you still follow my blog, and even if I have not seen you in here in recent years, I hope that, somehow, this post finds you. Dude, your poetry cried out to me, and I have answered it. Please, do NOT kill yourself!!! Please seek help! I beg of you!!!

Utopia!

No darkness. Only light.
Nothing’s dim. It’s all so bright.

No one’s hurting. No despair.
No crime. Love’s everywhere.

No tears and not one fear.
No drunks. No bottles of beer.

No heroin and no crack.
No employee got the sack.

No pain and no disease.
No asthma, not one wheeze.

No enemies, only friends.
No open wounds to cleanse.

No earthquakes. No mudslides.
No threatening ocean tides.

No radioactive mess.
No tainted food we bless.

No lies are ever told.
No human being is sold.

No wars are ever fought.
No fossil fuel is sought.

No poverty. Only wealth.
All secure and in good health.

‘Utopia’, where are you?
I wish I had a clue!

Suicidal dude, I sincerely wish that there was some sort of Utopia that I could encourage you to go to, in order to heal, but there is no such place. How I wish! When I wrote the above poem, I was deeply upset about everything that was going on in the world at that time, and you can see that I wrote the poem in 2013, and today, everything is much worse, and that “worse” part is not letting up. I can’t tell you that there is a silver lining, and that this world’s people will ever get it together, I wish I could. I can only say that as long as we have breath in our bodies, the fight, the struggle must go on. If at times, we need help because the task of going on seems too daunting to contemplate, that is when we seek the necessary help to get us through a momentary collapse of all hope. But we must find a way to come out on the other side of hopelessness, despair and anguish and realize that this too, shall pass. It may come again, so please seek help and continue seeking that help even when you feel better because the wolves are always ready to attack. Build your defenses and shield yourself from attack. 

Suicidal dude, folks on this blog are sick and  tired of hearing me whine about having sat my ass out on the mean streets of Washington, DC for eight damn long ass months due to being rendered homeless thanks to racism since I had paid my rent in full and paid it early for FIVE YEARS and still got put out, but I must draw upon that to let you know that if I could make it through that while damn near in my dotage, you can seek help and make it through these tough times. I was also involved in a major bus accident while homeless and am pushing a walker around and was damn near attacked by a randy goat of a Black man, but I am still sitting here trying to talk you down from off the ledge. And the sights I see on a daily basis since I help the homeless would curl your toes. I am in no way stating that what you are going through is any less than what I have gone through or what homeless people are still going through because your issues seem insurmountable to you at this point, but believe me, there are people who are more than likely near feeling as you feel; hopeless, lost, abandoned and suicidal, but they keep keeping on. Please consider going that route, but just with a bit of help to see you through these hard times.

I wish you good mental health, my brother, from a sista! The next poem that I see from you, I hope that it will be a poem about pushing through and pushing on. Take care of yourself! You are loved, my brother!!!!!
