The Word

So many people questioning why poetry is no longer deep How often should we talk about the crimes in the streets? The murders, the shots, the violence, the drugs The dope fiend parents, the kids with no hug The people selling people, the woman selling themselves Young boys predicting they not gone reach the age of twelve What should I do? How do you expect me to flow? Who am I to preach what everybody knows. Who am I to quote what everybody already heard Pretty sure I’m not the first one to spread the word The word is peace, laughter, respect and love Recognition that you been blessed by the one and only above The lesson is kindness, being nice to all that u have greeted Life’s lesson is simple Treat others as you wanted to be treated Xoxoxox …..
