After pulling up in my SUV across from a area an space that only six weeks ago I was supervising an instructing young children in fitness/boxing and educational awareness, which now has a chain and pad lock denying us entrance, Five year old Farrell calling out my name and asking me to open the gate so him and all the others who are now finding their place for playing, is in the city street. The area and empty lot has been rented out for parking doing the time as we had liberty for it's usage, the bad thing about that is; there are no cars in it. After getting ready to leave from the area, looking through my rear view mirror and noticing this five year old along side of her bike laying on the ground and her staring at me with her eyes radiating the wonder of why is this. I have for years fought against exactly what is now happening to these and so many other inner city kids; being locked out.
