Neighborhoods
Neighborhoods ravaged by some youth of today,
too lazy to work, and a drop out of school,
but what can one say.
Mothers can't control them, and no daddy around,
they just prowl the neighborhoods in their
small towns.
What they don't understand, is most people
work hard, and they are at risk, of someone
whipping them down.
I know of one place, I have seen it myself,
the police say they are watching them, and
they are about to send them, straight to a cell.
I guess they had rather work, picking up trash
on the side of a road, with no freedom at all,
wow, what a goal.
