Best Poems Written by Precious Griffin

Life

Life has so many ups and downs
a world where drugs are taken 
over our kids
where war is destroying 
our country
where violence and crime
is taking over our 
communities.
A world where children aren't 
safe to play 
and if you are a celebrity 
with murder you can get away.
A world where people are 
dying day by day, and you 
can only ask the Lord to 
show us the way.
A world where father figures
are few, and our children 
are left not knowing 
what to do. 
A world where teachers can't 
descpline, and don't get paid enough 
to teach, where preachers need 
to get out of the church and hit 
the streets. They need to educate our 
people and show them the way
teach them when they go to 
a job interview, the proper 
way to dress and what to say.
We need to stop judging 
and start keeping each 
other out, because isn't that
what God perfect plan all
about. I take a look at life every day 
and judge not, I just wish in my world 
the bad guys weren't the cops.
