STREET LIFE


(Repetitive struggle Overrated & overused looked now as a cliché Harsh realities bundle Looked over by society, but 99% are society But others look around & find rebuttals 99% are blind to me Guilty fingers pointing But don't care to reminisce At the conflict they once were living Ones who can't seem to remember ignorance was bliss Ran into peer pressures arms Who pulled them in but got out quick Working hard was how you mad it But when some fled the forgot Success overruled it Usually a Negroes battle Relates to the emotions about the crystal stair of Langston Hughes mother Ghettos chattel By: Tamara "Lefty" Robinson)
