The Recipe

I want to welcome everyone back. I have added the second poem for the highly anticipated book entitled Contribution To Change. This piece is a very pivotal part to the change that needs to be made. Once again I hope you enjoy and I welcome all questions, comments and profound thoughts.


Let me put you on some of the happenings in a few of the
places I frequent.

You’ll find it’s much easier than you think making a
juvenile delinquent.

First thing first throw away them books, that’s right,
keep books locked away like his father and let him
run the streets with crooks.

Make it hard to find himself but easy to buy weed and
liquor.

Convince him that wearing certain labels on his
clothes will make him a man quicker.

Put him on a track and tell him to run like Flash
Gordon, and when the seasons change, throw him
a ball and show him highlights of Michael Jordan.

Imprint in his mind that he started out as a slave, but
at best he can be a nigger.

Teach him that the most important thing about a
woman is her girlish figure.

Better yet, give him reasons to think that every other
woman besides his mother is a natural bitch and
every time he tries to get his life together
distract him with fantasies of being rich.

Don’t teach him anything about economics and
finance unless it relates to cocaine supply and
demand.

Keep him disappointed when he tries to do right, and
things don’t go as he planned.

Put him in classes where the teacher couldn’t pass
the test they’re giving.

Make him think that having chrome wheels and
champagne is the only purpose of living.

Show him gangster movies and porno flicks until he
re-enacts them over and over again.

Make him believe that a small handgun or a big dog
can be his only friend,

Keep his head bent in dice games motivated to win
the latest style.

Tell him to use his ice grill so often that even he
forgets his own smile.

Give him the wrong role model, that is if you give
him any at all.

Don’t encourage him to rise to the occasion, but to go out in a blaze of glory
when he falls.

Persuade him to rebel against the system and “buck”, only learning to
surrender when he’s handcuffed.

Teach him that the only way he will ever become a
man is if his pockets are stuffed.

Now I know I’ve covered a lot of material and hopefully you understand the
sequence.

If we keep this up I promise you that we will end up with more than our fair
share of Juvenile Delinquents.
