Saggin'

A loose belt and a pair of boxers underneath
Coolin', stylin', and profilin' with a fresh new
pair of kicks on the feet

Saggin', draggin', loose and not together
Constantly pullin' and tuggin'...just straighten
'em up or take 'em off, brother

Swagga! Not! Just draggin' and saggin' with major 
attitude
Belts are like beepers, totally obsolete, brother 
looking like he has something to prove

A fashion statement of diminutive proportions,
I mean, really?
Just a fresh pair of sneakers, a pair of pants that 
don't fit and a white tee

But what is looming as great as God's blue sky is
"tude," that's right, major, major "tude"!
Mean muggin', adrenaline flowing, and stayed on high
Come on, man! Find some quiet and let go. I mean, really
dude!?

Let him tell it; there is nothing wrong with his gait
He can't see, 'cause if he could, he
would even say it's not straight

The ticket is straightening up the spine and getting
inline to move forward
And maybe, just maybe, he has something to prove.
'Cause as long as he walks around saggin', he will be
viewed as saggin' spelled backward

WoW! Oh man, Stewart, no you didn't! Yeah, that was a bombshell of an ending. Didn't see it coming ... got hit by a straight right cross flush on the cranial jaw. POW! Great poem, my talented pen friend. Made me smile, chuckle, frown, tear up and laugh at some point or another while reading this most delightful and insightful poem. You got the gift of golden poetic expression, ain't no doubt about it. Top-notch poetry! Must fave poetry. Love and more love forever. Romantic Warrior
