Who Cares

Since when did people not care anymore? Sure, their were some Unseen or barely there But now people all over just don't care How they dress, How they talk, What they do To themselves or to you Fashion has become a disaster Modeled by unqualified idiots Which I can't understand Because it's not that hard to master I walk around this prison playground And watch all the immature thugs With their pants hanging down Showing their dingy boxers Playing with their tricks Who's only after a good d**k That's probably been through so many neighborhood bushes It's going to take more than douches To clean the nasty infection Left from his ******** But these girls these days Don't know about early detection There are so many walking diseases You have the "Pist. .. ", and the "hey ma" diseases And the well known, "Yo shorty" disease You have to watch out for I can't take it anymore Feel like I need to get out of town But they're everywhere like the green grass That grows all around, all around Of which they smoke And blow in my face and All around and around These inconsiderate fiends Hang on the corners And cause scenes Up to no good With no hopes of a better way Because they're quote, “from the hood” That's the same excuse June Bug used last week The day before he was shot But his brother just graduated college And no one cares how far he's got Because people are lazy And are not trying to get up out the hood Nowadays Who cares about an education? But hell Why should they? When ignorance is sweeping the nation I mean, since when did tweeted Become the past tense of twitter? I hate to sound bitter But look Between that and Facebook We have new generation geniuses At least they think they are Because they keep daily reports/ autobiographies, (Like who cares), On these sites And now they think they can write I.D.K. what's going on, Even though some entries make me want to L. O. L It's no longer funny when kids grow up Thinking that's really how you spell. But this is what the world's coming to No one cares More and more people crying Because there's more and more people dying I'm constantly asking why and I don't know why Because no one hears me So I try and I try To make sense of it all But there's no sense In nonsense And nothing will change If all I have is ten cents Due to the damn recession But still money talks And the more you have The louder your voice is So can someone please spare some change To help me deliver this message"!

Ooooo....from the depths of your soul a Powerful voice indeed. My goodness, I didn't want to stop reading. I can relate to your emotions as this is described as the daily lives of some of those who live in H-Town. Excellent rhythm in this piece.
