I sit my porch /
I watch children at play /
They are spitting at each other
Most of the day /
Hitting and cussing
Oh the crap they say /
Teaching each other a new word or two /
Acting out the ghetto fool /
Now the rock trowing starts /
Damn a ghetto art /
They are from 8 to 10 /
Five of them when their play began /
They all say they are bored /
But really they are ignored /
Soon they will grow older /
As adults they will become bolder /
Violence in the streets /
Where these children meet /
Soon , soon you will greet / ......

About Me
- Jimmy J.
- Poetry, what is it? A poet what is that? I doubt its me ! To me poetry is a word description of life. No matter a good or bad life only the truth of life. A poet can only truly describe a life he lives or has lived. One can not write about drug addiction, gangs, violence, and despair if he or she has not dwelled there. I write things I feel because I have been there, done that and know what many people feel because I feel it. What effects the young today effected the old yesterday. Nothing really has changed when it comes to poverty. I write about black and white issues because I feel neither black nor white, because I refuse to wear color of skin. I write about the young because I never grew up. I write about the old because the years added up.
