Right or Wrong, Choices are Made!

The Words of His Father...
Didn't Stop Him...
From Choosing the Streets...

The Anguished Pleas of His Mother...
Didn't Stop Him...
From Choosing the Streets....

His Baby's Cries...
Didn't Stop Him...
From Choosing the Streets...

His Woman Blocking the Doorway...
Didn't Stop Him...
From Choosing the Streets...

My Black Girl Tries....
Didn't Stop Him...
From Choosing the Streets...

His Determined Look...
As He Faced Them All...
Told Them What They Did Not Want to Hear...
That Single Look...
His Final Decision...
A Sealed Commitment...
Took Him Back to the Streets...

His Father's Words...
His Mother's Pleas ..
His Baby's Cries...
His Woman's Action ...
My Black Girl's Tries...
All came to a Halt...
At the Spot Where the Streets...
Took brutally...
What it Considered...
Their Own!

Excellent!! It is so hard to stand by and watch someone
make one bad choice after another. Soon it is too late.
Sad, sad, story. . .and you tell it very well. B R A V A !!

Being a kid from the Bronx I know the excitement of hitting the streets and many times I did it myself.
