Life


(poems go here) Life.. Holds such a divine concept. A concept in which a mislead society couldnt handle A concept that my generation doesnt want to see. Who are we as a people to say we can believe in change. And stay the same Through days of rain Such insane Or should i say such insanity We know change but never embrace it We see struggle but never face it We took success and renamed it Gave it a unwritten name With unwritten principles We gave life a new concept and design In which our generation doesn't see Who do we strive to be.? Just Blind to the fact that jails are being built For people like you and me Its like we urge to be in jail cells We push for the success that fails Trading school books and preppy looks For mary jane and scales. We'll do anything just to make those crack rock sells A society blind of the opportunities we have Wasting limited time This society screams for a relief A silent cry Some say this generation will die. But what they dont know is that we are already dead.. But we will never see. Its just a matter of time before we wake up and smell the coffee. And understand that its the power of we That will get us to where.we want to be. We are like a gold fish at sea When will some one else step up and have a vision like me. We have to open our eyes. Live. Love. Laugh. And most of all be free. because we dont see As a black society How powerful we can be
