Replying to a comment on:

Dilemma of a Crip (Free verse) by Ninoy_Instigator

What am I to do. Gangbangers, busters, and killers We were a ruthless gang They are a living remnant of my past Back in the day, when I was a thriller. We were the Crips, the toughest gang No need to be discrete Pistols sounded every week I would fight without worry I'd spit in the name of the street Domain was most important The human ego is morbid If you saw a blood member Or a non-crip C-Walkin' He was as good as dead But I have a huge dilemma, Towards Crips, people have anger I have something more important Someone I care about I can't put my baby in danger. I must abandon my old friends They mean nothing but trouble The streets are polluted Enemies seem tougher Gangbangin' is forever a struggle.

apology accepted. i see by your profile that you are young, and a boxer. may i suggest, in the future, that you sharpen your powers of observation before you leap into fights? do not build walls; tear them down.

is it not generally taught in the martial arts that a wise man is always aware of his surroundings, and avoids conflict when possible? i was taught this. i am very capable of defnding myself. i have never started a fight. i have never lost a fight. i have had few, because i believe honor and respect are due all, until proven different.

enough of my philosophy for tonight. get out of the gang, and improve your life. you are looking within by writing and posting here.
