It aint alright now - Poem



Listen to the sounds 
of the sirens outside
who said life was fair
and why did that boy have to die
every night on the same steps his Mama cries
and she don't know whether pray
or curse the bloody skies
Baby Sis crying
saying she don't want to live
just a baby and already
I see the anger in that kid
it aint safe no more
bullets flying like confetti
all around me adversaries
got me staying ever ready
and I can't hold myself back
I just want to avenge
in church they teach peace
on the streets its revenge
laws pass and still some laws
stay unwritten
I'll take the law into my own hands
when no one will listen
Mama I am sorry for what I do
and how I live
it is too late for me now
save your other kids
I am a lost cause
from the 1st time I left the house
like the man on the corner
it aint alright now
