Poem
I met a teenage boy last night He inspired me to write His words penetrated my soul He made me evaluate my purpose and goal He asked me if God was real Then why does his mom go out at night and steal Why was his brother murdered at eighteen Why is his biological father a crack fiend Why are children in this world starving everyday Why does God not here him when he prays Why are so many people living without a home Why does he always feel so alone Why did he have to grow up in the hood Why is his whole generation misunderstood Why do babies die at birth Why can’t he have any worth Why did his friends backstab him tonight to commit a crime Why is he alive is he just wasting his time Why are Americans never satisfied Why are Christians dying for their religious love and pride Why was slavery allowed for so long Why are so many people living wrong Why do many teenage mothers now exist Why are many children slitting their writs Why are drugs so easy to find Why does the government keep us blind Why is there cancer and all types of disease “Ms. Help me understand all this please” I looked over at this boy while tears dripped off my face My friend this world I admit is one crazy place Many things God never wanted for the human race But we are blessed to have his Amazing Grace His love will never go away Yet, many live in disarray God gave us all free will At this point his eyes started to spill We were created with choices we all have our own voices Angels were created to do whatever God may say Humans have the option to disobey One day we will fully understand God’s original master plan Someday we will have the privilege to see What God intended life to be One day evil will forever be locked away Many will have to eternally pay One day all that was ever taken from you God will reinstate and make bran new One day in this life you will grow up and be A man with morals, values and integrity For your present pain will not be in vain You’re going to break those generational chains Your sorrow will help others survive their tomorrow There are divine appointments and I believe you just had one I know that in your pocket you have a loaded gun I know where you have been I promise you the dilemmas of your life, you will win! Even when you fall You can still fulfill your call I must admit You only fail if you quit One day some teenager will ask you to explain And you will remember this night and everything you have gained.
