Poem
another child is lying in the streets dead another stray bullet has struck someone in the head today a mother breaks down and begins to cry because today one more child has unfortunately died the youth of today are all about violence and intrusion running wild causing havoc and confusion they think having a gun or a knife makes them more of a man but if they want to prove their manhood why don't they fight hand to hand too lazy to get up and go out to earn an honest salary but have the energy to rob hardworking you and me gang bangers, drug dealers and your garden variety hoods incapable of being productive or possess positive attitudes enough is enough, it's time for us to take control if you see something, say something, we all play a role enough is enough, get the weapons away from them it might be enough to save another child in the end pedophiles, sexual predators and rapists on the prowl it's time for all parents to stand up right now talk to your children and make them aware that evil can be found everywhere take an active role in your children's existence stay on their case and in their face with loving persistence we have enough youths running around acting like fools make sure yours get an education and stay in school many are victims of circumstances and have fallen through the cracks no one ever encouraged them to stay on the right track children having children and all we can expect is a generation raised with no regard for life and no respect enough is enough, it's up to society to get away from welfare and jail mentalities enough is enough, it's time to do something constructive so the future generation may one day be more productive in 2007 only 42,000 black youths got college degrees but over 400,000 got sent to state and federal penitentiaries what's wrong with this equation? these numbers can't be correct how did so many young men become social rejects? uneducated, unemployed, no future and no hope how do we expect them to now learn to cope? enough is enough, no child should be left behind as adults we can't afford to lose any more young minds enough is enough, let the future generation prevail and stop thinking the solution to the problem is building more jails we should be building more schools and learning facilities and not use our tax dollars mostly for the military enough is enough, too many youths have lost their lives maybe it's time that we turn to the Lord Jesus Christ
