Sunday Morning


*BANG BANG!*

Brown boy down

Another mother empty

Cause another brown

Boy found

And all you want

To do is

Get high?

And cash out?

Procession music

Sounds like violins

I don't want to go outside

Cause I'm tired of all

The violence

Peekaboo, guess who's

Not there?

The police.

And guess who

Don't care?

The people.

Hi everybody. I'm 17, from GA, but live in VA. I write because it helps me deal with my life in a positive way. Everything I write is real. If I can say anything, it's to stop gang violence because guns aren't worth it. Bullets don't give apologies. My Instagram is @blvckhvppie,and my Kik is @lovedoesntchange.
