Does everyone truly have their cross to bear? It seems as though there has been a flurry of crosses throughout hip hop and music in general as if it is the thing to do, a trend or fad. Truthfully, this might not be far from the truth. The idea of flaunting how much money you have, or had rather, by paying tribute to a supposedly divine martyr, a selfless soul who died that we might live. It is absolutely brilliant to have captivated so many for the past two thousand years. The problem is that this is not the only story of how we came to exist and there isn't much evidence of any of them to be definitive enough for me to stake my entire existence on one over the other. I certainly wouldn't kill or die because I believe in one book and the guy across the street believes in another. Maybe people need to feel like something beyond them is watching over them, protecting them. Death watches over me and makes sure I live every day like it could be the day that I meet him as it turns into a cold dark night. That is why I believe in life above all else, because the only thing that we know for sure out of all of these stories is that Death comes for us all.
