these brown children.with their dreams and mysterious.thoughts

i just wanted to say this real quick, though. I've been working on a paper real heavily as to the lack of news and posts,
but on a for real for real tip i just wanted to say as
i was sitting here on the couch thinking
that

on a for real for real tip

the black child/black children/ brown children need a revolution ( and without the stigma that just saying the word revolution
sometimes invokes, from overuse)
but on a for real for real tip
black.brown children need a revolution
and it can't wait until they get to college and
suddenly think they know what they are talking
about

or suddenly think they know what they are
talking about because they are in buildings or an
institution that might illusorily validate their knowledge
and knowings

it can't really wait until they start to read writers and thinkers
who's writings somehow seem to echo truths they've really known all along

and then they can call out their names and theories amongst and between themselves
and feel like they have finally learned something, and that their knowledge and knowings become a handshake they can pass around

it really can't wait til then ok!
there's too much good stuff before then
there is just too much great stuff

it can't really wait until they are sitting in class discussing and feeling
about ideas and feelings and notions and perspectives and then they write a paper

-where part of the goal is making a point
and then writing a paper about it
a paper they maybe will not share with anyone the rest of their lives or
even their peers, with whom it really matters


it really won't wait until then!
it can't really wait until then ok. it can't really wait until that time

there's too much good stuff
there's too much great stuff
there's so much

do you remember it? do you remember the way it felt when you were young (or now or old)
and you wanted something, some dream sooo bad
and you played with that
it it was in your dreams and in your imaginings
and maybe you made games about it and sang songs

there's so much, that's worth remembering and worth finding and worth saving and we already had it all
and we already still do
and i really want to talk to people about these things
and i really want to talk to young people about these things
because i remember the way it felt when i was younger
and i remember the way it still does

yeah, i wonder if we could help young people and young brown people remember their dreams
man that's so important
that is so important!

sometimes they get lost you know.. sometimes they really get lost
sometimes they just slip away (though they are never gone)
sometimes they just slip away
and that's no good
because that's the most important thing we have!
then we can make anything! with them
and do anything!

this is just something i've been thinking about and what i felt like sharing
because its important
to go there
