ruthless streets

March 4, 2013

(poems go here)The Power of gangs rule the streets... women in fear children mistreated... how so has this tragedy cause my generation to hate themselves hate the color or founding fathers fought for their right yet they take life just to stay alive...word to my mother i will never tell lies...word to my father i will be great...the consequences on you for the choices you make ....we all come from GOD so how can they fake...we swear on GOD but do we have faith?... when walking down the wrong street becomes a life choice you make...I'm stretch Poetic in the streets these gangs are ruining families...so much love loss my whole world is filled with tragedy
