[hometext] => Can you tell I like to hear myself talk? Comes from being too quiet for too long...
[bodytext] => A wise man told me the smartest thing I've heard since life's begun: "Life has to be fun 'cause if it was all about the money that we make, it wouldn't really be illegal to rob a bank" Since it's just part of the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness Once you put it that way, it really does make sense What a mess We pretend to be people of substance but the only things we live for are money, power, and sex A few live for God, but not all pass the test so we fall into simple traps, overspending just to dress See, the world wants us to look like thugs and gangsters so while we see wealth, they quickly see danger Trying so hard to hand out rocks instead of business cards it simply becomes part of our culture to act hard See, our role models are really fashion models wearing what they're told we want to not bosses, but employees; they don't lead they follow Don't believe what you see on TV they don't hustle; they borrow and their brothers are getting arrested and killed they fake out fake cops, thinking their stomachs are filled they're not real but we pay real consequences Living and dying for something that's inconsequential 'cause real gangstas don't get famous they die by the hands that fed them So why live and why die over a commercial image that's all a lie? Because those fashion models are our role models and we're trying to do what they taught us 'cause they pretend to have what we're told that we're wanting Advertised hunger for respect, sex, and money got our young women giving up their bodies and since our young men think they want that they get it quick, and don't even give respect back and since sex is the main thing that drives man young men keep getting with the program and since some women define themselves by their men girls allow their misquidance to encourge them and so the vicious cycle relays TV knows we're in love with the same thugs, so they replay meanwhile, the train to the hood's freedom delays [comments] => 2 [counter] => 238 [topic] => 6 [informant] => lost_chadow [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
