Living in the Word: Volume II - Messiah Speaks

My name is Johnnie Williams. I have completed my book. I'm gonna highlight this story for you. I'm updating this on the Black Widow. The Black Widow has been changed for protection.

It is so sad that the Black Widow can't kick the drug habit. The Black Widow has been in rehab many times, I have tried to help, but now I am tired. Now I decided I wanted to talk about this. The Black Widow's daughter told her that she was going with another lady. The daughter is 14 yrs old. The Black Widow talked about the daughter seeing this lady, I said "talk to her, she'll get over it". Two days later, I walked in the Black Widow's house and her daughter was keeping company to a 19-year-old man. I said to the Black Widow, "What have you done? You have took her from a wolf and gave her to the lion." The Black Widow looked at me and said, "Mind your own business! I'm her mother, I tell her what to do!" When you're an addict you do not have full responsibility for yourself or for being a mother. The Black Widow has another daughter, which is 18 years old. Her daughter was seeing a 14-year-old boy. The boy's mother came to the Black Widow's house and asked, "Do you have a problem with my son seeing your daughter?" The Black Widow said, "No, I have no problem." She gave her 18 yr old daughter permission to move in with the 14 yr old boy, and they are living together now. It is so sad that two mothers know it's wrong, but look the other way. The 14 yr old daughter is living in the house With Black Widow, and has a twenty-something year old man living there too. There's something wrong with that. When you're an addict, you are not responsible.

I've been around addicts for 35 years and there's one thing about addicts, you cannot trust them no way at all.

They call me Running Joe. We was born a slave in Mississippi. We were not owned by a white man but by a black man. If you have no rights to speak; if you're being told what to do, then you are a slave. If you are told what to do and when to do it, then you are a slave. I'm gonna tell you some things in this book. There is a lot of profanity and X-rated things in it. There's my brother who murdered his first woman. One of my brothers was a slave driver. There are things about when I ran the clubs and even about me getting raided.

So I hope you enjoy what you read and I hope that maybe you learn something from it. Enjoy.
