The reason why, he doesn't smile. Well. What reason does he have to smile? Yes, he has his health, all his limbs and etc. But he also has greater understanding, of the reality he's living in. More so, than the average person. This is his curse. If there is such a thing. His thoughts: the Oppressor wants us(blacks) wiped out. Period. Us!? The "original man" wiped out? Ridiculous as this sounds. This is becoming more and more real by the day, the hour...This very second. The struggle continues people. If we continue to ignore that fact. Well. Just go and ask your local Native American, how we're doing As A People. Living or more like surviving in, this stolen country (that we built), that used to be theirs(native americans).
  If Ignorance is bliss and Nothing more. Then Intelligence is that Something. That Double Edged Sword, we got from the garden. That we must use to Fight, the Unjustly Powers that be. He fully understands, that His Existence. For however long it is, in this world. Must Not be wasted.
 "I Resolve To Mercilessly Abuse My Illusions And Smack Stupidity In The Mouth. I Resolve To Never Acquire A Taste For The Bitter Lies That I Am Fed. I Am Making A Resolution For The Revolution".
This oath, that he has made for himself. Shows just how resolute, he truly is. That being said, we can see he is determined. Not to fall for the many traps out there, for him.
But wait. What about everyone else? There are many involved, in a struggle that deals with survival. As a human, he knows what the right thing to do is. Help everyone involved. But doing what is right, isn't always logically sound. How can he make a difference, when the odds are so overwhelmingly stacked against him? How can he help those who don't want to help themselves? And lastly, how much can he really accomplish, of such a goal, by himself. He wants to Save everyone. But he knows he can not. A look of frustration appears, as he faces this problem. This obstacle looms over him, in his mind. His perseverance will be challenged, for as long as he breathes.
He wishes he could go though life, with a Smile on his face. But he won't...Not Without "THEM" anyway. No he must persist. He must focus. He must never forget, The Main Goal. He must keep his eyes, on the Prize...What is the Prize? The People. He is indeed, like Neo. He Must Free the People from this Purgatory, of a Matrix. That has almost everyone. No one lives in it, but just sleeps in it. It is just a dream, after all.
  This Dream that everyone is having. This American dream. This Dream is a Nightmare. Who Smiles in their Sleep. When they are Having A Nightmare? No One. If he is Not fully awake, alert and aware of his Situation & the Environment. If he does not continuously Feed his mind, keep it sharp and enlightened. Then he will ultimately find himself, living a new dark ages nightmare. That He will not, be able to wake from. Then he will experience the nightmarish ends, that so many of us have met and feared. These ends that we've seen happen, to Our Children, Our Friends, Our Neighbors, Our Brothers, Our Sisters, Our cousins, OUR FATHERS and OUR MOTHERS. So many of us aren't waking up, to the truth in time. Maybe that's it?
  Why doesn't He smile? Because he's seeing so many of us, getting our Eternal rest before our bed time. And he can't rest for very long. Because he knows, that's what they want us to do. Resting peacefully. Restin In...Peace. Rest In Peace? NO. Not gonna happen. For He Is Awake...And He Remains Restless.
A rewrite. I wrote this a couple years back when the boondocks had just come out. Hope it's better now.
