The insidious part of instability is that it comes at a kid from so many different levelsâin terms of stress on their parents, losing basic resources, and then losing their home. Itâs this very core thing of stability of place, where youâll be sleeping or eating. Housing instability crashes every support system a kid could have.
Gina Adams
âIn the mid-1980s, crack hit the streets of Milwaukee and Lamar started smoking it... Lamar remembered losing his job and his apartment... Lamar ate snow during the days he was trapped in the abandoned house.â (27)
âThe police ainât protecting us,â Buck said.
âI feel you on that. But all police are not the same...If I was in the neighborhood, and it was rough, Iâd want the police to clean that hit up too.â
âYou canât hide nothing from God,â he told them, âso donât hide it from your daddy. Do what you do at home...Iâd rather for you to do it at home around me than out there on them street corners.â (pg 23)
âIâm blessed,â Lamar said, looking at Luke and Eddy... âMy boys okay.â (pg 27)
How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?
Charles Bukowski
This man works three different jobs (janitor, drove a forklift, poured chemicals for Athea Laboratories), has to pay $550 to Sherrena for rent, has his Social Security denied, and only has $78 for him and his two sons.Â
How do you leave the past behind When it keep finding ways to get to your heart It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out 'Til you're torn apart RENT! How can you connect in an age Where strangers, landlords, lovers Your own blood cells betray What binds the fabric together When the raging, shifting winds of change Keep ripping away Draw a line in the sand And then make a stand
This connects Lamar to both the song âRentâ from the musical and Beverly Daniel Tatumâs âThe Complexity of Identity: Who Am I?â in a sense that his identity has changed completely through time. Trying to get his rent money on time has become an essential part of his life that it tears him apart mentally and emotionally. When it comes to betrayal, it almost seems like his whole country betrayed him, after he fought in the Vietnam War. As the âshifting winds of change keep ripping away,â he gets closer and closer to the complete homeless side of life, on the streets with no necessities for him and his two sons.Â
