Back In the Day

Poem: Back In The Day
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: March/2014

Where have those days gone, 
when
 yo sweet mama, would say:

"It's okay baby, mama, know
that you wanna go outside to
be wit yo friends, and that's
okay.
  But, you better have yo
little ass back in this house,
bah-fo the lamp lights come 
on."

Where have those days gone -
