Street Soldier

My baseball cap is my helmet and my Nike's are my boots, My country is my hood and my colors on my flag are niether red white or blue, My weapon of choice is my two hands, sometimes it can be whatever when I am threatened with a great fall from my stand, I have no general or soldiers but I have family and above all I got heart. My battlegrounds remain in my own home and sometimes even in the local Wal-Mart. Every inch of my hood is up for friendly fire, Violence remains apart of life around here searching for peace is far from desire, Everyday remains but another day someone will die, but more importantly is that another mother, brother, sister or father will cry. But I am a street soldier so I am prepared for anothers or worse yet my own demise, And as a street soldier I must keep the battle in check, no not with what I see with my two eyes, but what war is really going on inside the mind, My battles dont come from without but from within......I am a street soldier fighting through time.....
