Our Children... Our Future

Thinking of our children often brings me to tears
Because they have really changed over the years
From the way they handle their fears
To the way they associate with their peers

Some have become a product of their environment

While others feel they have a sense of entitlement
Not wanting to work hard to get ahead
But expecting everything to be given to them instead

This generation has a lot of growing and maturing to do

To prove they have what it takes to make it thru
And even though some may have gotten off to a bad start
Doesn’t mean they’re not capable and aren’t smart

Smart enough to step up, speak out and lead

Become the future leaders of tomorrow we desperately need
It means we, the community, have to help and do our part
Tell them we care and mean it with all our heart

Our Children… Our Future

 

My True Essence

Damn It!

Damn it
I can’t believe this shit
I let you get into my mind
Throw me off my grind
Disrespect my time
Invade my dreams
Like a theft in the night
Rob me of all my fight
Try to dim my shining light

But it’s my fault

Because better I was taught
You showed me the other side
The side you tried hard to hide
But I didn’t believe what my eyes showed me
I only saw what I wanted to see
Blinded because the sex was so good
Too good for me to walk away
Even when I knew I should

 So I stayed with you

Kept laying with you
Letting you continue to do
Whatever what you wanted to
Until I got tired of being played
Got over the reasons for why I stayed
Packed up and said I quit
Damn it
I can’t believe this shit
