Poem
21st Century Tick tock tickety tock I sit and watch as every second goes by Waiting for an end to all this madness Our generation is more ****ed up than any other by a long shot In our generation it is normal for a girl to get pregnant at 13 because she started having sex at 12 year old girls looking grown as hell having sex with 23 year old men Girls being trained on by boys and them thinking it is nothing wrong with it are you serious I said to the 13 year old boy walking drown the street screaming I got plenty thots while he sings along to a song preaching gang violence While he skips school Brothers killing brothers Men killing children when will this bull**** come to an end I thought inside my head as I watched another mother walk into a clinic to murder a baby that she said she wasn’t ready for And I thought how could you not be ready for a baby But be ready to have sex take responsibility for your actions I think in my head as I see our young and old people on trial Claiming that they are innocent Knowing damn well that they are guilty Slam There goes the gavel Another life lost up in the system I am ashamed I ponder as I saw another talented person waste a gift God gave them work a job that they hate just to make good pay (laughing) But what they don’t know is money is the root to all evil haven’t you seen the signs I say to the people about to commit suicide People don’t like or hate on you because you are different Embrace it don’t kill it Because like Tupac said they win when your soul dies baby don’t cry keep your head up I say to the children in abusive homes And I say **** you to the rapist, abuser, murders, molesters, and devil worshipers just to name a few Y’all are not worth the dust God spent on you Y’all the reason why people are constantly watching over their shoulder Scared to live scared to breathe You’re the reason why people like me are cautious of every step that they take Because y’all deny the room to make one simple mistake Because y’all are the people we call family and friends Y’all who they call 21st century We suppose to stand for something Cause if we don’t we fall for nothing It’s like we just close our eyes and act like nothing is happening on the other side But what we need to do is stop acting blind and open our eyes Because there are problems all around We need to stop acting dumb, foolish, and like cowards and speak up and make a change Because what we do today is the example we make for those that are coming after us So ask yourself is this about you or our generation?
