Why?
Why didn't we listen
to Dr.King
when he said he had a dream
then maybe there wouldn't
of been a war,
Soilder's haunted by little kids
screams
Then maybe there wouldn't be any
murder's,killer's.or drug dealers
Then maybe I wouldn't of seen news castors
or breaking news across the T.V. screen
saying little kids were killed by their parents
Why?
Do we live this way
and do the things that we do
why do my brother's feel as though
they have to sell an illegal drug to get by
Why?
Did Kanye West say George Bush
don't like black people
Is it true,
If so what do we do
Do we turn around and leave,
and forget that it ever happened
Or attack if so who do we attack
the Asians,Hispanics even the blacks
Why?
Is the government so mean
why are they taking the little money
from us that we need
Why am I even writing
this poem,
is it because of Bordum
Or I really want to know the answers
If so, can you answer them
If not
WHY?
