Even though the Homo erectus led to Homo sapiens, it is still true that we share some common DNA with great apes. Theyre proven to have reasoning skills, dexterity, cognitive and affective domain traits, as well as the social paradigm structure of nuclear and extended families.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith that backdrop, its hard to figure out what caused the social breakdown of modern society, and particularly in the African-American persuasion. No physiological, sociological, psychological, or ideological constructs are able to prove clinically and\/or empirically whats wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew Yorks Hells Kitchen, Miamis Overtown, Chicagos Westside, Garys Glen Park, Memphiss Orange Mound, New Orleanss Ninth Ward, and Los Angeless Compton could well be the same places where all the same social stereotypes and maladies are ever-present. The same could be said about most other US urban centers, as they relate to the fate of African-Americans. To be sure, the black male is a low-valued commodity and is arguably close to extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Life Pages is an anthology of poems that will take you on a sensory journey of emotions. Its aim is to inspire you to seek and gain a better understanding of history and a better self. I hope youll embrace or at least find new appreciation for our ancestors crucibles, pain, and unwavering fidelity to their personal constitution. When boiled down to a low gravy, that means you should approach life with zeal and forthrightness, with all deliberate speed. I trust that among other things, you will come away with the distinct understanding of the thought processes of the inner-city youth, and the day-to-day struggles growing up in todays society. This is a quest to figure out where the black youth belong in this swath of earth called America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMan can clone man, but hell never be able to clone my pains \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darryl R.
