Spread Love not grief


Poem Artwork

 

  
 

Time for a change is long overdue
Especially for the blacks screaming like that
THIS IS FOR YOU
All of the envy & jealousy that you take your own people through
Then up in church speaking in tongues
Are you speaking of what
With a cold heart like yours
Where is the warmth within you
Then you don't understand why your kids
Commit
Black on Black crime
They SEE YOU
Act it out in MIME
Each good friend you get
You stab in the back
You think
Your kids don't see that
You down your relatives when they buy something new
When you bought new
The same relatives
Praised you
WHEN YOU STOP ACTING LIKE MIME
YOUR KIDS WILL MIMIC YOU
AND LEAVE ALONE
THAT
 BLACK ON BLACK CRIME

A powerful poem with a powerful lesson. Envy will certainly do us in.

Well done...you have stated your case and the verdict is in...you win because of your poetic lines of common sense.
Cheers,
Dan

U.S. 'A' Today 'b' Tomorrow v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

America’s slide to infamy continues under the careful tutelage of a leadership that’s determined to grab as much as they can before the ship sinks.

Earth-centric Humanity at the Crossroads by Martin Treon

For the reasons I describe in this book, the world-wide suffering, death and extinction of humanity is very likely to occur, unless nonviolent and democratically determined radical and revolutionary personal and societal actions and changes are taken
