Those mired in ‘the under’ in Metro Detroit aren’t just stuck in the muck. They’re also buried up to their necks by the truckloads of crap dumped daily on their heads by the actions of self serving “leaders”, put in place to light the path leading up; smothered by the fallout from the greed of the “best & the brightest”.
Christine Beatty, Glenn Blanton, John Clark, Monica Conyers, Stephen Hill, Rayford Jackson, Karl Kado, Kwame Kilpatrick, William Lattimore, Derrick Miller, DeDan Milton, Kandia Milton, Lou Pavledes, Sam Riddle, James Rosendall, Dr. Gwendolyn Washington, Sherry Washington, Mary Waters, and too many other so called ‘role models’ to list here are now confessed liars, felons, jailbirds. Some stole from the schools, some robbed the pensioners, others sold out their office, some bribed the politicians and all of them ripped off our trust.
As we bemoan the folks trapped in ‘the under’ who steal copper or scraps from the bottom of the heap, those at the top steal opportunity from us all.
While we lament the lack of jobs or credit or adequate housing or quality schools, those whose job it is to provide them instead line their own pockets at our expense.
As we decry the lawlessness, illiteracy, and lack of shared values by those that exist on the margins of society, those we look to fix what ails us just keeping oozing their putrid filth onto our heads.
Sh*t rolls down hill goes the old saying, and in Metro Detroit it’s no wonder ‘the under’ can’t find its footing; that slippery slope people are trying to climb has been made even more so by the waste of lost potential, and the sheer volume of the discharge from above.
