'We are more than that'...!!

We' More than That..!! We are more than that, that is in our streets, our back yards, schools and in the back of our minds. It follows us to bed eachday and yet keeps us up every night, in Consternation. There is no peace in these streets , we live in terror. Thinking of when your vicious acts will strike once more. You've seduced our youngsters with your narcotic charms, We are now slave under your 'Mercy'. Under your Grip. 'A grip of Death'. You're are more costly than you look. More costly than Diamonds, more costly than Gold. The sorrow and Agony you bring is a sight to behold. Yet when we need you we remember, you're easily found, You live among us. On our streets, schools and homes. Some people take you for pleasure. Others take you to overcome The unbearable Pressures of Expectations. But for us most young ones ,We are easily blinded by curiosity and Peer pressure. But we say to you. Long gone are those days of fear and Agony, As we stand united and shout.. Gone are the days when we traded our precious lives for death Time has come for us to rise out of our death bed And claim what is ours Dawn has come to chase away the dark cloud of ignorance It is about time we kiss the gentle lips of liberation Reason has come to free us from the chains we make because we Are more than that 'We Are more than Drugs'..!!! © Dean Njane...
