Poverty Pornography


Light pigmented people Who travel To this city Produce Poverty Pornography Endlessly. Trash our streets After lions games And come back saying how terrible we live And how no one here can behave Hire themselves accordingly. A house in Ann Arbor or Ferndale will do them Nicely As they preach on the Education system Of Urban streets And how our children are dying Brown girl with Cornrows Looks up at the camera For 5 dollars If she looks natural And by natural they mean troubled.
