Para La Violencia


I could see the terror and fright in your eyes Got stabbed by a shank maybe struck by a wrench Innocent bystander Wrong place at the wrong time I dont speak slander Man I could just not stand there Fight or flight I took my bodies control and flew off to the sky Yall scared me My brody ask yourself this, why Why must you do the things that you do? Why must you go disrespect you bro or sis in red or blue? Got me thinking this many times before But so much drama and seeing first hand Is just so insanely crazy Colors are just colors in the light rays hue Where you from matters Creates all kinds of disasters Man can we just please stop Pop pop blamy Stopped, door opened and barbarianism went down Aint no war in another country But battle field in our owm community Brown vs. Brown Why are we on this killing spree Please, please just stop it Where your love at young homie You have so much life to live You have so much things to see Dont do this And get locked in a square room Till your death 6feet under Where you will lie in doom.

this poem should be heard around the community in which you live, it's a good way to help prevent violence espcially in the young.
