Guns and God

A Christian soldier with a gun and a crucifix is a man of God
A hoodlum with a gun and a crucifix is only a hoodlum
A Muslim with a flag and a gun is an Islamist terrorist
A Muslim with a flag and no gun won't make the news

From the Streets (For Tupac Shakur Contest Sponsored By: Raul Moreno)

He 
Looks like
A hoodlum?
Tattooed and hard –
Judge not the surface!
Be like God, look inside.
Let love flow; watch joy abide.
Tupac’s rhyming brightens sorrows.
Rapping beats to famed masterpieces.
Singing the wisdom he learned from the streets.

Running Late

smoke wafted up 
from my worried lips
my phone was dead
starbucks doesnt have outlets
we had run for 5 miles that day
so the extra few 
i ran to get home
didnt matter much
the people stared at the musty youth
running in flat shoes

i bet they saw some deadbeat hoodlum in the night
Im a killer without a sense of direction
the same thing I guess
