Too many murders, too many funerals, and too many tears

Just seen another brother buried, plus I knew him for years

Passed by his family, but what could I say?

Keep yo’ head up and try to keep the faith

And pray for better days.

Tupac Shakur, “Better Dayz”

“We leave a stain, we leave a trail, we leave our imprint. Impurity, cruelty, abuse, error, excrement, semen – there’s no other way to be here. Nothing to do with disobedience. Nothing to do with grace or salvation or redemption. It’s in everyone. Indwelling. Inherent. Defining. The stain that is there before its mark.”

Philip Roth, The Human Stain
