South Central Los Angeles has been renamed SOLA to dis-associate it from the bloody history of the trickery and as it becomes gentrified I want all to remember that the streets may be wiped clean but the blood souls still live for the child soldiers who were never rescued like the boys from Sudan but locked up instead because generations before threw up their hands and so libations will always be on the loose for those who died in modern day nooses!
