THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN

The future for them seems bleak They're crying out to take a peek In our homes, there's no family unity All they want is to grasp love Drugs and violence are running rampant Children grow up in these neighborhoods Jobs are not created, so there's no choice If you would only listen, to our voice Gang membership, provides a false sense of love Drug addicts and gangsters we may be Without jobs and education, we will always be This is the future of our children Young people are tired of being stereotyped All they really want, is to do what's right Just trust in us, give us much love And that will give us a little peek Author: Floyd Neal Date: June 2003 Inspiration: The prison system
