Ms Affection Poet Free verse

Lil Hat's World

I've seen the by-product
of alcoholic parents
not my own
but some folk I love

Those whose souls
cry out from a childhood
    of 
Poverty
Humiliation
Being Ostracized
Anger

MIXED AT THAT!
Black and White

Where I come from, 
a formula for torture
not black enough
not white enough

Living in the ghetto's 
of San Francisco
leaves that adult
by-product
in a messed up way
