Gangs

Gangs
i look out the window
guys hanging on corner
slinging nicks
across the street
look outs on high alert
police is a rolling
coke is always flowing
girls turning tricks to
guys to get their kicks
young boys huslting
gays to get their fix
is it a plaque

Bradley this si so sad but the reality of this life where ever you go. Gone were the days when young men try to learn the trade of their fathers and young ladies learn from their moms or they purpose to go off to school to be in a better financial and educational position than their parents..what most of them do? Hang about on the street corners and get in trouble. Tnx for visiting and comments. One love. Joy Wells
