eye opener


listen and keep your eyes and ears sharp what im about to say you will open you up like a drunk person telling the whole truth about all you notice how a short person can get a fly honey who is tall they say big things come in small packages no, im not speaking the obvious to some, that might be oblivious notice how a politician talks about their plans of actions, and yet when there is a scandal with a dumb-founded look, they seem to have a prostitute wearing some ugly sandals notice how they say there is no resources to provide updated books for school yet, they have millions of dollars sitting up in their room like brandy in her video your boyfriend tells you he loves yous yet, he seems to tell every other female that same line with that sorry tabou drug dealers tell you that they care for you yet, if there is a shootout, they leave you out there crying for blues keep you eyes and ears razor sharp like a shank or else your girl who you think she is the one will be on the corner looking like a skank

im glad you enjoyed the poem its about bringing awareness, but with comedy, sarcasm, bold, fearless,etc its about understanding about choices and its consequences check out my other poems
jwiener
I enjoyed how this poem was almost circular, with the beginning and end both bringing back the importance of being aware of all situations which occur around us. Also, you send a message to the reader about how our actions affect how people think of us, but even so, not everything is as it seems.
