Focused

See these snapshots Like flash, focused, record Men stand under the shade Collect daily pay The illegal way When...beer bottles are being tipped over Transactions are being sold Near school yards With weed smoke So gone... Trapped like a lost child Who has a home But refuses to stay young And act grown Just a baby and all alone Stuck inside the hype game Of videos gleaming sexual innuendo Tresspassing into soulds Still confused... A thought interferes I don't care what they say What's to speak of happiness Like butterfly kisses and nice wishes?? Smiles and sweetness Not on this list I speak realness Thru shattered tales Thru... Failed mentalities of combating thru our own journies That I see as everyday life 20 times magnified I got the suburban population Listening to what I'm saying There ain't no comical gestures We are at war with our selves!! I lost a part of myself Surrounding myself to educate those How not to be myself Now you tell me Who's next for me to address???
