• This is my mallet. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My mallet is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my mallet is useless. Without my mallet, I am useless. I must swing my mallet true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot at him before he shoots at me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my mallet and myself are defenders of young bangers, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.
