The Blues

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem:The Blues
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: July/1990

Man.....
we 
got the blues,
and
it ain't cool -

We 
skip school
we 
break rules

We 
talk bad
we 
drank booze

We 
do drugs
and
It ain't cool -

We 
lie straight
We
stay out late

we be fools
We die soon

Man....
we 
got the blues
and
It ain't cool -
