Bones doesn’t have any stroke.  

He has no big connections
whatsoever.  

He’s not someone
important’ son,
or daughter,
or nothing like that,
he’s no big shots brother
or cousin.  

No,
Bones has to do
for himself
the best he can.  

He’s not going
to get help
from anyone.  

That’s just the way it is.  

Bones is kind of used
to it being that way.  

He wouldn’t know how
to do otherwise.

Bobby

Bobby

I thought maybe you were going to talk about Bones heart condition. (Title)
However, Bones is heads up on this one and he sees into the whole mess. Sounds like he sees the hypocricy too.
He knows he's on his own and he handles it....

Thanks Eric,

I think you’ve got it.  Thanks for your kind words about the poem, and on Bones ability.  I'm pleased it worked that way for you.

Bones isn't alone.  There's a whole world of peons.

ethome, a stroke is a neuro-vascular condition, not a heart condition.

Right on Tao Power, point well taken.
Don't know why I associated it with a heart attack.
Guess I should have said health condition.

Bobby keep up the good work reporting out of the hood.

Thanks Tao power,

I’m sure Bones will be tickled pink to be called a "peon".  Not that there’s anything wrong with being a peon, I’m a peon.  It’s just the idea of being called one that kind of grates.
