My Truths and Thoughts Ii

I strolled through my old stomping grounds saw a childhood friend gave him a hug and a pound over two beers we sat down dam its been so long since we crossed paths flashbacks they brought both tears and laughs we poured beer on the grass for our peers that passed that's the way we show sorrow teardrops from a bottle it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday but ironically for some its even worse to face tomorrow when it's filled with hopelessness and dreams deferred at times the line between good and bad became blurred life moves in cycles I observe this truth watching these young cats re-enact scenes from my youth as the clash with the system and dare the world to dis them until they go to prison or become homicide victims i borrow some ears trying to insert something healthy but I recognize that look. its the same one I use to give the ones that tried to tell me I just wouldn't listen now he's given me that same resistance its a shame that ignorance makes us flee from knowledge wont accept WhATS harmless content when we're acting moronic or spewing garbage isn't it ironic we crave money to save us in actuality its the very thing that enslaves us its like the streets are the new plantation a generation lost produces lost generations with lack of love and over abundance of anger causes agents of death to leap from barrels once released from chambers has the worl gone crazy mother in the church screaming thats my baby lord take me makes we wanna holler,kick or yell or something cause they don't understand I'm simply trying to tell them something
