What Purpose


Come along come along he just wants to be found. He acts out but stays put inside. He doesn't know his self but knows he wants to be part of their crowd. They have the fine girls and are top of the crowd he wants to be there as well. He needs help to get there but who? Right his crew! Come along come along he follows their lead until they surround him and wonder why and who is he trying to be. Like them who inspire him to ride high and roll deep with money. It is not what he thinks and they offer no opportunities for him the tell but if it is what he wants then he can go ahead. Its the life now rolling deep all the females and popularity. But it travels far out in front of him but no further because it dies with him. What is left out of his friends mouths are the enemies waiting for them. He knows not until he is shot that the crowd he joins is not what he thought. And so his popularity travels far out in front of him to the boys who thank him for dying for them and welcome him. But they welcome his dead body for all along he was a shield to protect them.
