an incipient relationship
jason and melissa
both are head over heels for each other
both very much in love
very much confused
very predictable
both of them were born in public hospitals
both were brought home via public transportation
raised in public housing
became typical high school dropouts in public schools
statistic of public assistance
they both reside in the land of grim hysteria
the land is no other than the bronx
they work in an environment where they are daily patronized
don't even realize it
they come home to what think is a safe haven
and embark series of arguments
mental and physical abuse
they been robbed at least 5 times
and even at that, that's all they remembered
divide by two and answer is how many times they were incarcerated
plus two more times they were robbed
combine they were shot at 5 and shot at 8
2 children who were force to eat mustard sandwiches (no salami, no ham, no cheese)
only beverage of choice is a faded kool aid drink
pretending to drink it as if it was tea
they must fight against rats and roaches
over who gets to eats the molded bread
that was purchase at fine fare
jason and melissa could have a decent meal
if mommy and daddy didn't blow their salary recklessly
whose figures make the pay like allowance money
on their daily fix
young jason was contracted with an S.T.I
with no insurance, he doesn't have the support and right health care
so what does mommy and daddy do?
they don't know nor care
so they lay their kids down to dream
these event has not only becoming a ritual, it's an everyday daily routine
