Gospel according to D' Angelo from the Wire .


 If you've been watching the series about inner city Baltimore, drugs docks, issues around poverty crime, waste, generally a hard watch.

Redemption doesn't arrive for many. Just harshness general oppression handed to them by political elite marrowed in greed themselves with plenty of evident corruption.
D'angelo wants out, but born into something that holds him. But he wants something different . Something better. But he can't got no message got no leader, got no one to follow.
Sticks with what he knows.
Remains a stastic on drug count. Suggest way of dealing drugs doesn't involve others beating up others to control the corners. Suggest as nother should return to education. Tried to be kinder.
Engages compassionate response to enemies.
But can't decide and demonstrates reality that's cruel  at times others lifes don't matter. He interacts with the drugs desires promotion that area .
Perhaps among the advice he offers is one identified above.
Points out who you are, is we here you come from has overriding arc to who you will become. How you handled the Life really about who you become.
In most senses it's hopeless struggle through hard meaningless task in harsh tough environment.
2025 echos with this message of despair.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
