Cynia Cole, Age 2.
Posted by nico under: Life as we know it .
Two years. That’s all we allowed Cynia Cole to live. I wonder if this will be the last time we sit idly by as a nation as our innercity youths are murdered at alarming rates. These children have hope for a better future, but we’re not giving them a chance. From birth, they’re on their own as if our society is shaking their hands and saying, “Good luck kid.” as we push them out the hospital door.
It breaks my heart that these children are not allowed to be children. They understand all to well hiding from gunshots and gang bangers. They cannot even go outside and play without fear. Something has got to change.
I appreciate what Brian White says about wanting things to change. He has a plan and I hope we allow ourselves to work together and bring about that change. Start with our neighborhoods. Make yourself seen and heard. I am not going down without a fight.
Cynia Cole deserved better.
