Poem Artwork

� Throw Away � By: Terrance Xavier Burton Sirens in the back ground, Sounds of discovery fill the air. The taste of rain is on the tip of my tongue. Water has never felt so good. The rush of the city life never sleeps Around my neighborhood. Street Lights Dance off the pavement. Never have I seen a rainbow in space, Until I hit a oil slick on the ground. Becoming one again with the asphalt. Shadows casing chasing vipers On my hands. Whispering voices Are echoes of dreams I never had. But I truly want to. Who�s using me for the way my size Breakss up a crowd. I�m loud an I bring to Justice my visions of disrespect. In the Inner city they say they�ve Started reconstruction. To push those niggaz bottoms, Cause a Black Man ain�t nothing but a throw away pistol. You�ll use him when things get hot On The block. Someone is trying to break in your shop. Hey little lady If things seem shady 9 months 2 babies. Smelling danger in the air I got cha Back. When you feel alone at home an things go bump In the night. Oh�.. There is a spider I�ll say must I grab this fools attention�Back up! The tools out the cut. Left cold by every body, When I bring the heat to their way of thinking. Liberation of your mind. Like Malcolm, Who shot him by any means? I make nessarary to bring to the table Correction of what you think of me. Black willing and able, once made fool of For my strong features. In the Inner city they say they�ve Started reconstruction. To push Those niggaz bottoms, Cause a Black Man ain�t nothing but a throw away pistol. You�ll use him when things get hot On The block. Someone is trying to break in your shop. Hey little lady If things seem shady 9 months 2 babies. Smelling danger in the air I got cha Back. When you feel alone at home an things go bump In the night. Oh�.. There is a spider I�ll say, �must I grab this fools attention��Back up! The tools out the cut. What�s our Population, when in One birth? In every 8 seconds, I�ll combust? When in One death in every 12 seconds? I�ll combust in the fear no evil look into my eye. There was a guess Dumbmation Ninety-two percent of Homicide Arrests Were for persons or males under eighteen. Seventeen year old kills a man who resisted a robbery at an automatic teller machine. Seventeen, attempted to rob a woman and her four-year-old son. When the woman pulled her gun, he shot her dead. I know the solutoin I�ll call, Meager Evans. No�No�They got him I�ll just call Martin L cause he�s a king He�ll know what to do�AHHH�� Man They got him too. In the Inner city they say they�ve Started reconstruction��.
