James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Gangs of Our Human Zoo

Gangs are here
And their here to stay
Going about their day to day
Harassing me 
Harassing you
Infidels in our Human Zoo
 
Triads, Yakuza
The Wild West
Terrorised townsfolk
With their gangland zest
 
Mafia, Nizari
Guys like Al Capone
Persecuted the innocents
Never leaving them alone
 
Identification through various ways
Communication 
Street says
Tattoos, piercings
Dressed sense too
The Gangs of our Human Zoo
 
Members are many
In certain cities
Victimise the weak
Pick on the pity
 
These are kids
Of mums and dads
What makes them
Turn out so bad
 
Brothers, sisters
No questions asked
Shot and knifed
A Gangland task
 
It makes them no better
Than you or me
We are the difference
A different sanity

Vince Suzadail Jr. May 30, 2009 at 3:30 PM I worked with the inner city kids and went to talk to them about careers in the military. At the time I was in uniform. The first question a 12 year old asked me was "Can you get guns?" The "gang" situation is much worse today than when we were kids. We have 12 yr old girls whose hearts are set on landing a gang member as a boyfriend. Scary situation for any parent If there ia a gang in the neighborhood you can either be member or victim, no other options. Vince
