March


Did he march for twerking because its taking over the world two cheeks at a time,
For teen pregnancy because more and more bright girls with futures are being slapped with this title,
For gang violence and not living to see the age of 21 because our generation is diminishing in front of our eyes,
For hoes,bitches,THOTS,sluts,or straggs because it seems that those are our names we are given nowadays,
For overcrowded jails and welfare offices because it seems that these two go hand and hand in our communities,
For beating your kids senseless because of the pressure of living in poverty angers you,
For being a trophy wife, a athlete,rapper,or singer because in everybody's eyes this the only way to get out the hood,
For drug dealers because they trynna "eat good" all the time,
For being a stripper because you hoping you'll get saved

No He marched to uplift us,insipre us against these things,tell us we better then the statistics but as we all see we living up to them
