Poem Title:
Poem
A old lady sits on her porch, stairing from her rocking chair This has been here resting spot for the last tweenty or thirty years Watching her world dramaticlly change From loving familys and neighbors To drug dealers, hoodlums, and colored rag carring gangs First and last names are replaced by gang names She cries on the many day that she was inflicted pain She watched her children gunned down one by one One took his own life with his own gun Her husband was distroyed by war His last days were spent in front of the liquor Killed by scorosis of the liver He died drunk without driving Her youngest daughter still surviving Only because shes slowly dying Never knew she had HIV because it was hiding Now it's AIDS so now she fighting The old lady misses how the world use to belive in a higher power She never gave in to the influence Given by Satains many demons Who made a bed for her whole family on the cement This is way younger people don't respact here achiement Crowding her yard after night falls Police won't even answer her call Too busy protecting suburban malls Only answering cover story calls To be projected as heros when really their zeros After all that has broken her down she still has faith If you asked her she will say that GOD giveth and GOD taketh away
