Souls on Ice

I remember coming home from the movie theatre one day in tears. I had just seen Frankenstein. My momma asked me what was wrong. Still crying, I told Momma, “I just saw Frankenstein and The monster didn’t scare me.” Momma couldn’t explain it and I couldn’t understand it. I was afraid I wasn’t normal. But now that I look back, I realize why I wasn’t frightened. Somehow I unconsciously realized that the Frankenstein monster was chasing what was chasing me. Here was a monster, created by a white man, turning upon his creator. The horror movie was merely a parable of life in the ghetto. The monstrous life of the ghetto has been created by the white man. Only now in the city of chaos are we seeing The monster created by oppression turn upon its creator.
