Poverty

8/8/16 Always grew up in poverty Moms rented the space and property At times we struggled and seeing her in pain always bothered me Honestly I thought about doing robberies Because I wanted to bring in more broccoli constantly Even if I never possibly Had a chance to ever win the lottery But I knew that would probably Break her heart apart, which was wrong of me So I tried to do it responsibly And properly But I haven't really hit the mark, due to too much monotony Does it make me crazy? I don't know maybe It's all good in the hood If you don't ever want to accept my apology I'll just continue on my odyssey Treating others with respect and equality As I move vertically and horizontally I've worked with a fair share Of commodities But never mahogany To tell you the truth, I've always had an interest in archaeology And so many other things including astrology In space there remains anomalies Amid a galaxy full of objects moving at high speed velocities Scientists using newer and better technology With excitement and curiosity Looking to find some kind of new life form or colony By: Dalton Ogletree
