i’m tired of hearing about corrupt officials about death and parents who need a box of tissues of listening to “another shooting today” and how our youth died in a street race i’m tired of seeing that yellow tape of hearing the stories of rape and listening to the siren while our children sit cryin’ “another robbery at the corner of. . .” “today another parent misplaced their love” i’m tired of witnessing the proof that our society provides of how everyday we walk but we can’t measure our strides is this what we’ve become all the hard work undone “world peace” shouts the people is that even feasible peace begins in our hearts the vision dies before it starts these tragic times have me crafting rhymes because that’s how i deal with my emotional pain the way things go i’ll be writing ‘til I’m slain for reasons unknown we don’t love our neighbor always fighting for things to better savor crimes against humanity and it’s left for us to see it on tv our news is always filled with violence oh when the time comes where the anchors remain silent Written March 29th, 2002 © on Mar 29 2002 01:38 AM PST   0 • 9
