After Punk rock all but died out,and the Yuppie next wave 'Gentrafied the Lower Eastside of NYC.' the Generation Younger than the 30 somethings got left holding the bag of Political Awareness,Internet high speed infomation, Heroin but no 'Scene' no Philosophy'and a 'style of music basically to call their own in which to hang their Identity on.They glue their hair to make Dred locks or just leave it matted up trying to make it 'Natty' they listen mostly to Vintage 'ska'a bit of Reggae' 'some 'DUB' but Basically no tag of their own.This is for the Grunge kids The lost Kids That Live in the street,make their own clothes,Panhandle,eat out of Garbage cans and stay in small groups and are almost invisable on the Lower eastside in NYC and all over middle America.This is to my Friend Larry that choose to live this way.

Like The Last Phonecall 



(UNFINISHED CONVERSATION)



what you mean it cant be

your son dressed in black

Semi Auto in the Backpack.

Burners ,Bombs, stashed in the Basement.



Said he didn’t make any Sense

Never told you where he went.



he tried to talk to you,

Walk with you, blank stare hung in the air.



So he Gave shit up, Cussed shit up

Rolled shit up,

F***ed shit up. Smashed shit up

BLASTED THE FUCK UP

GOT FED UP



Like your son is gonna tell you

what he do

frustrations he going through.




 

Cant express to you.



you say he has it all

Million dollar home

Vacations, a broad.



what’s he doing when

when moms doing mom?

An Dad a business meeting?..

his Lover holds him gently in her arms.

Twisted into a social Bomb

School psychologists say nothings wrong

tiny respect

BIG pay check



dad always

Pretension, dissention

a Jive ass lie.

one part phony other part no reason why,

water from mamas tears to make a black sky,

Born rich enough to hide behind a dollar sign




 

Private school for the arts

even though he cant draw for shit.

Varsity Basket ball

no one ever home at all



Reheated pretension

your son aint gone be no Dentist.

no more trying to compete, or please

blues breeds an breathes in Million dollar Homes to..

I use pain to try to get back to what love usta hold on to.

Burnt like lives in a fire,

here but gone a Beaten Soul

through Motions of Desire.

Like an unborn trapped in a womb.

A Nightmare of Abuse.



Dad,,,A Trick who paid with his kids youth.



something about being alone

19 an isolated

don’t know about paying dues,

just know it don’t feel good

Anyone hear me…

Anyone listening to you?….



Did all the Drugs your Generation did to...

found Nothing.

Acid.

coke,

even added Ecstasy



with over proof Jamaican Booze

on a Caribbean Cruise,



Nothing NEW

not even your view

no concept

nothing to connect to.



Masquerading your fakeass politicks like rich white chicks wearing the mask of

starving Africa kids cradling their starvation

belching Corporate international Rape

When it was you all the time Laughing at kids in the sweat shops siphoning oil

No arrests, but I can still smell on your breath…

that made their poverty .. Their wars…

stole people and Culture

an Hid.

Mutha to everyone?

PARENT TO NONE!



your kids are ashamed of DEADLY

lame games

Super power dominate.

Everyone’s laughing at you

Except the same color of ass kissers

That always agree with all and everything

Of nothing

Just talk.

little tragedy

To authenticate.

Strangers your children

Its you they hate

you live with them but you send them away

you hide You hide them



Underestimate them..

Its you they hate

So they seek a new rhyme,

in this time. A place where they don’t have to hide



there culture

Karmas blood it feeds on their youth and Dreams



This country loves to tell others what to do

To light that fuse Kill third world People

expect them to say thank you

so why be shocked



when your son is dressed in Black

with the semi auto in the backpack,

heater in his waste band, Pipe bomb Under his coat no he aint gonna VOTE

Crumpled up note Found in his coat

said: no more sending me away I control Today!

Tired of the lies an endless Preacher.

So I Killed my Teachers

My friends

Myself to

 I'd I’m sorry mom an dad…

What good would it do?

that’s why I killed you to
