Good to hear from you, the emails are beeing exchanged so slowly.Why is it so?Is all America reading it before it reaches me?Or censorship is reading rather clumsy ;)? In truth I thought that maybe I did efended you in someway. Anyhow - what is the appropriate postal adress if I would like to send you some present-what are you able to recive what is not welcome? Do you have a tv in your cell are you able to use a computer? Do you have a job and do you earn money?That is all for me wanting to know a bit, trust not too much. As far as our mates I remember Roy John Jimm and Russel and Kayse I think His name was - but surly the spelling is wrong. I have 2 kids a Son(Daniel)and a Daughter(Julia) and wife too:) Alicja is Her name.We are married for 11 years still in love:).Hope to be that way for another ... Who knows 40 or 50 ... By the way I have been thinking about you and about how your life went - I really regrad that for I never seen you as a bad person. I still am convinced you could be in a different place with different people if in your early life would you recive the right emotions and feelings. Shouldnt those who are responsible for it be also responsible ? I do not know I am not judging anyone just believing in good things and good people. About your Biography I am not sure what shall I do to help you what to print and what to post, maybe it is because I do not use twitter or facebook or any other comunication tools - apart from email- since I am not a big fan of it.But no problem will find some solution.

So, as the world prays for inner city youth, and Law Enforcement officers, it would behoove us all, to also pray for those that attempt to deflect reality by making excuses for the blood shed, at this point, non of us should even have a filter, when it comes to kill'n.
XZ Yeah, but peep, it's an interactive convo between bloggers, us on the row, people incarcerated and innercity youth, even haters are welcomed to chime in, for example, let me ask you one of our prompt questions. What do you suggest innercity youth do in this situation.
(What are you shooting at me for?)
J Like what, not wear a hoodie or sale ciggerettes? sounds funny but, what the hell?
XZ Great response because I can see you are about to make the human point, that those things, don't even matter.
J Exactly, because if I'm running away from you, why are you shooting at me?
XZ Real talk huh, if ya boy is selling drugs, what are you shooting at him for? Or if I'm just being my black, brown or young self, like Tamir Rice at 12 years old, what are you shooting at me for?
(3 of 5)
J On parole, what are you shooting at me for?
XZ Yeah huh, what are you shooting at me for? (both LOL;)
(Personal Safety APP)
J They should flip it around and we all should start wearing cameras, where live footage can stream onto a website collectively owned by the community, so other peoples cellphones & gadgets would all go off at the same time so everybody can see our side of the situation.
XZ So now thats 2 views, which gives cops a second reason to remain professional because now everybody is watching in real time, no edit.
J As soon as a person have contact with, or get stopped by the police, just turn it on right there.
XZ And let em know, this is being streamed live, you know, even thats sad that in 2016 people gotta wear cameras too, I mean, it will take an App to be known to people so everybody can get the App on cellphones, or small cameras hanging from a chain, or clapped to a shirt. Good idea though, oh, they got bsafe, and followmenow.com, and stop-attack.com, but I dont know if the crew at NERDS ON CALL intended for these Apps to be used for the purpose we are suggesting, maby the ACLU has a "perrsonal safety" APP? But, how many inner city youth even know about these Apps, as we speak? They getf unding for police cameras, no funding for us.

XZ Good lookin, and thank you for choppin it up with us, and for those of you who read this conversation and ask why we dont entertain the idea and fallacy that Black and Latino inner city youth could somehow escape being killed by law enforcement by changing the way we dress, being in gangs and on parole, hanging with the wrong crowd, or being involved in so-called criminal activity, or not cooperating with the non-justified orders of a corrupt cop, we offer you the following reality;

@ Golgotha w/Joe an interview by: xzyst
(The Tone) Today is Sunday, 10:45am, August 23, 2015. Outhere on the upper yard condemned Grade A Walk Alone Cages.
Temps are cool, starting to warm up a little, and as far as I can see, it looks like all 32 cages are occupied by men, a lot of socializing chatter and exercising, working out going on.
It's not often that I'm next to the same prisoner everytime we come to these cages, especially since it's only 32 cages and approximately 75 prisoners assigned to recreational program to these cages, especially when you facto in prisoners coming from D unit, and C unit commonly known as Carson and Donner Sections, and let's not forget the 1st 13 cages being reserved for the EOP Mental Health Care program, do the math.
So, it was good to see my potna Joe today. I dont know alot about Joe, I met him after he made his transition from Knucklehead to what he is becoming now.
Always treat the New Generation with respect, and has been a supporter of Piankhi's Creative Writing Project since day one, with no strings. Joe authored "Guilty" in issue #1 of The Write Or Die Zine Project, and also fielded a few q'z by Piankhi that found it's way into the @Golgotha interview section of issue #3.
Today I get to pick Joe's brain as we pace back and forth inside these cages. This is one of the new ciphers I've done after my choice to no longer use profanity in my work. Met Robain and Sister Kathy, while also realizing that I owe my next generation better quality product, and when God has his hand on a persons life, I believe what comes out of the mouth should reflect that reality.
Enjoy our work, as we get better, --Xzyst (1 of 5)

J What's the next one going to be about?
XZ Piankhi has a few more in the works, but one of the growing topics in America is the bloodshed on the streets at the hands of law enforcement, so a conversation is starting @ betweenthebars.org/#NGR about this, and He's creating a new zine series loaded with comments from all over the world.
