Poetic Verses
The Change
It no great surprise when visiting the old neighborhood
Only to be told that the streets, are full of blood
That the tension is so dense, it can be cut by a knife
And the people there, are living in fear of their lives.
Then also do not let the mind drift, and get so remiss
Gone are the days, when verbal disputes are followed by the fist
Today the take pleasure in mowing each other down
Using the latest models, of automatic and hand guns.
It is so sand that all those people you happen to meet
Will tell you that drugs are now very rampant on the street
They also fight very fiercely, to safe guard their territory
Those you inform will suffer both in body, and may lose property.
Another thing that brings on such a great fear
That many believe they have that right to a share
Of anything, as there is that belief they have an entitlement
And should not be challenge, in their efforts at attainment.
But when caught and tried, look at how the situation get compound
By the type of argument, the considered experts tend to put down
Saying the behavior exhibited, is because of a childhood deprivation
Thus making the victim seem completely out of the equation.
But it is true that many before had to endure some hardship
However this did not cause them to lose that grip
Employing some strength, focus and purpose in their lives
They fought it out and kept the beam in the eyes.
Today crime is so very rampant in lots of societies
Some are even done, right before the lenses of the CCTV'S
But what is scary, some committed with such disdainful aggravation
And the perpetrators, are mainly from the younger side of the population.
