Heroes
A sea of brown faces
gold teeth, tattoos, piercings, and passion
guns, gats, blood in, blood out
no suits no ties no jobs no heroes
basketball, rap careers
no attorneys no doctors no men
staring at hate reflection
pipe dreams and promises, no futures
black shoes, black suit, black ties
change the role model, change the people
My reflection smiles back
