It's a damn shame they say honor thy parents But I had none They shot my only love grandma In a drive-by Now I'm all alone What a shame bout my pops Rolling Stone he was sucka was never home Even in heart and soul What a damn shame Wanna talk about Shame How about my sista Trisha A junkie a ho Was found two years before sprawled on some basement floor What a shame what a life God Oh God I want to blame you Lord I want to cuss you I want to ask why why why me But can only blame myself As I sit here in the joint Staring at these walls and my thoughts Doing twenty to life have no pity my little brotha man You see you have but one life .. One damn life

Jan I was wondering were you was lol,anyway I always put my self in different scenarios I have a great imagination to do all kinds of things And poetic lines that mean somthing to that specific person out there in the universe,it's not always happy putting words together in negative,hopefully a positive message in the end . I notice you have photos to some of your poems.is it difficult to do..wow thank you jan,for your all your support..hope all is better...Tony
