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 …..
Beautiful Butta
