Culture shock


Here we have a gloomy situation That has rose from this occasion. And although I'm sick of the hatin, I can still acknowledge the participatin. You will feel with what I am sprayin, when you are no longer waitin For the games da devil be playin. You will never interpret this sayin if you never stop pretend to be slayin. And as the day today is a breakin, Bright sunlight will stay in A curvature which it must layin. Our home is where we pray in, With hope it keeps us safe in, And our generation of life stayn. Outside forces will push our hand before Applyin the words to a plan, Thus taking actions from our hand, to the way of the next man. Who gives no damn, to what state of mind he puts me in. As I allow only rightous deeds, They will eventually sow the desired seed. Completely free of mortal sins like greed, And completely be relieved of others need. I will always acknowledge my gods heed. Because in Doing so it helps me to proceed. Providing a Clarity that we all need To physically set our soul free. So we will stand by our ways, never revealin the plays. Sittin back on some days, as if the work is in the way. Ain't nothin wrong with lettin them sway, as long as its in moralistic imploya'. But who are we to judge, God will take it all away, but onlay, if he is givin the say. First thing first. Nobody wants their body in a hurse. we should capture that rapture in the first verse, and shoulder it like women do their purse. Gospel words were once rehearsed until the day they were reversed. It's like when pain is dispersed throughout the soul but the bones get the worse pain burst. while most of the time that shit still hurts. Feeble warnings do no good, if the lessons are always misunderstood. Like a country boy in the hood. You can expect nothing good. Social relations will always be undeserved, especially if the conversing party is never heard.

This poem is an engaging and thought-provoking piece that speaks to the struggles of humanity. I particularly like the vivid imagery and language of the poem, especially in verses such as "Providing a clarity that we all need/To physically set our souls free". The premise and themes explored in this poem are important and relevant topics that young people face today. The poem could be improved by adding some narrative devices that could further elevate the poem. For example, what are the consequences of not recognizing warnings or not conversing openly? How might someone choose to respond? How do human interactions affect one another on a social scale? If you're interested in further exploring these themes through poetry, you may want to check out the works of Robert Frost whose works focus on similar themes of struggle and understanding within society.
