Baggy Stinky Britches

BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF...TALK TO AN ADULT YOU CAN TRUST WHO MAY LIKE TO MENTOR OR GUIDE YOU. TRUST IN GOD FIRST!

Boy, Girl, you've been killing
anybody, Yo Mama; brothers
and sisters, and classmates too, 
for shame of what this
mean old world has done
to you.  You are angry about the
stupid stuff you've done
to yourself...to your brother
to your community.

Open your eyes this day
and see.  How you should be
in school to stay on the path to
follow the carpet with the blood
spilt by your ancestors  while building
the road to the White House.
Barack did it, now you can too!

Pick them baggy stinky looking britches up.
Put on a bad belt after you
Take a bath, wash you draws,
Step up to the plate, fess up
to your
 dream and follow the change.
Sam Cook said it, "I know a change
is gonna come, Oh Yes it Will.".

Look young people, it did!
Read your BIBLE: The first
shall be last...the last shall be first.

Louisa,

a wonderful message to our young people. Hopefully Barrack will be an example. And of course, the message at the end is the most important.

Good one! Without God, our young people are doomed! God help them (and us!)!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

And I don't understand the reasoning behind those baggy, stinky britches! To me they look nothing short of ridiculous!!
