    THESE TIME

     THESE TIME



    THESE ARE HARD TIME
    A LOT ON THE MIND
    PEOPLE DOING CRIME
    BILL GETTING BEHIND
    WE TRYING TO LIVE
    SOMETHING GOT TO GIVE
    THING ARE SAD
    IT'S REALLY BAD
    IN THE PAPER YOU READ
    SOMEBODY DEAD
    SOMEONE GOT RAPE
    YOU SEE POLICE TAPE
    PROTECTING THE CRIME SEEN
    PEOPLE NEED TO COME CLEAN
    A YOUNG CHILD GETTING MOLESTED
    NOBODY GOING TO CONFESS IT
    PEOPLES SNIFFING CRACK
    DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT
    PROSTITUTION IS ON THE RISE
    I AM NOT SUPRISE
    PEOPLE SHOOTING UP TAKING DOPE
    PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF FOLK
    PEOPLE KILLING BABYS
    MAN THAT'S CRAZY
    DOING ANY THING FOR SEX
    TELL ME WHAT'S NEXT
    POLICE PREACHERS TEACHERS DOING CRIME
    THESE ARE HARD TIME
    ALL IS NOT LOST YET
    LET DON'T FORGET
    IT NOT WHAT OTHER DO
    IT ALL ABOUT YOU

    Good points. I like how through the whole poem you are looking @ what others are doing and how they live, but then end it with the point that what they do dosent matter, only what we do..

    Yep it's like survival mentality. People out for themselves. Prestige + Ambition leaves little room for empathy. Perhaps. Lies have become thick. But truth is buried deep in there. Somewhere. Inspirational write.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
