TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,,,

Tyree's interview of Dizzy B.

 

I did a million things wrong in my life, but I never thought I would end up here. Prison has turned out to be my battlefield... I have seen the murders... I have seen the gang riots. I have seen the weak consumed by the strong. I woke up tired. I never thought I would ever wish for death, but this life has turned out to be soooo ugly.

 

Tyree asked m how I felt about prison, life, and the death penalty. I was without words, I mean how do you answer a question like that ? So I asked him, and Tyree said : “You feel your way through it”.This is what I came up with …

 

Heartbreak ! Rage ! Sadness ! I guess I mean hat for all things. Life is meant to be lived, prison is meant to rehabilitate... the death penalty is a sad thing called justice.

 

My emotions are all over the place, but my heart stands still... I hear the cries at night on my cell wing... I hear the prayers and pleads... I have watched the lights go out in this place at 6 p.m., I have mourned so many fallen soldiers behind these walls. Like I said I have had enough !!!

 

Somebody help me... tell me where to go from here. What can I say that will make a difference ? What can I do that will matter ? Perhaps if I ask you to go on our websites and find the names of all those who have died... not one specific person, BUT ALL OF THEM !!! To kill one does not erase the death of another !!! Remember that as you read the names, look and see how young some of these men and women were when they committed the crimes they committed... Think about those whose innocence was discovered after they were killed !!! You should think that that should have been lesson enough for the masses, yet we still are here fighting this fight. Look at how many had badly managed trials. If that isn't enough for you, then you are in the wrong fight !!!

 

Wake up and just say it : “I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!” Really mean it ! Prepare, organize, and fight !!! I ask for all that you have to give, but I didn't ask it for me... I ask it for all those that have died already... All those that are waiting to die. I ask it for the parents, the kids, the friends of those who died while they watched. I am greedy because I won't accept less from you !!!

 

If you have listened, then like Tyree said, I did something. I am not smart, I am not even a good reader, but I know what it means to love... I know what it means to live, and I have seen what it is to die. I don't wish to see it anymore. It... this is my fist in the air, this is my sword... this is my voice, and I scream the words at the top of my lungs : “ENOUGH !” Say it with me ! Let me hear your screams, because they won't just be noise to me, they will be music, music that plays like the sweetest melody. I'll be able to sleep then, because I will know that we are not alone... that we are not forgotten.

 

With respect,

Dizzy B

Author's note : “Dizzy B” worked with me on this article with a vigor that I haven't encountered in a long while. We had so many “outakes” that I thought we would never get this one done (LOL). However, he was a joy to work with because he had a purpose. He fought with me because he wanted this to be perfect for you all. He said : “People are depending on me, so I have to do this right !” And he did... He did a great job. What we all have to realize is that the fight doesn't start until we start it, nor does it end until we end it. What we bring together, “WE” are the only ones who can tear it apart. If you are true, and full of emotion and pride... If you really believe in what you are doing, you will always be right... you will always win. What is right can never be defeated ! We have so much to fight for, don't you think it's tieme that we get started ? Luv you guys ! Be safe !!!!

 

Until soon,

Tyree,
