The Trap of Poverty and how it leads to anger lack of opportunity and Violence.
They say an empty barrel makes the most noise
that's when you playin with Childs toys 8 in the clip an 1 in the chamber
Body-parts is what's left
Yes thas the remainder.
I don't have to be bad,
Jus a good aimer..
an I spit on it first
So when you get hit
You know I'm the one who sent you the lead kiss
I don't care what you say I have to survive.
If you dont believe me
then call it a lie
But watch ya back
An take look in my eyes
don't have to front
don't have to lie
Cause when I was born GOD Covered his eyes.
I was born an enemy
abused
afraid.
when I reached for mama she pulled away.
Now I destroy anybody even my own who gets in my way.
For me the system created an enemy state..
Anyone that looked like me got locked away.
Now it looks like I'm bad without a solution Drugs plus poverty has no restitution
more guns more drugs
more institutions.
Poor people they say either dead or in jail
thas what told Jesus before they slammed him with nails.
public education, Jails, prisons where Minority children become men and women.
A misdemeanor
becomes a felony Conviction.
Poor people were programmed to Fail
All we needed was white powder an a Digital Scale.
Next thing you know its LIFE FOR A SALE
We lost ourselves in Our condition.
Malcolms Soul
2pacs ambition.
a beat down Police Inquisitions.
Some say it's fate
some say hate
Choked,headlocked killed by cops at 12
I call a police state.
Prisons are dark in all the wrong places
Not cause there's no light
cause there's to many dark faces.
I wanted my kids to have better than I did
But its hard after doing a 10 yr bid
Young adults with questions
All I can do is Point in them in the right direction
Showing a Future with a Positive reflection.
Our History...Lies.
our rights never found.
The Revolution wasn't televised it was a merry go round..
baby hustlers destined to hit tha ground runnin to Get paid to get somethin.
hood boys,girls lost never found.
That's how there living in an outta they home
every time they duck down they killin they own.
every time they duck down
they killin they own.
It's good, but I don't like how you started the poem portraying yourself as a murderer. Everybody does that. And then escaping into the black struggle, is a bit cheap. I've read better from you. Secondly, there's no positivity to this poem, I understand what you're addressing, but if you want to "show a future with a positive reflection" it starts in your poetry. You can do better than affirm the negativity. Lastly, on the brighter side, you have a very special individual style. I love it, it's good.
A clear eyed view of the dichotomy that is occurring in this country, gradually turning into government screened by political parties to their advantage.
