as i watch our sons grow older /
They also grow bolder /
Will they become a name in a police folder /
this battle we fight in ghetto's light /
Words of filth and blight /
Everyday words in flight /
Trying to teach right /
Outside your door lays a street fight /
But we must do the best we can /
from the day of birth
till the day he be a man /
Will he be like you /
Hopefully not a fool /

Love let it be in our actions as well as our hearts.
Love often hurts be aware of it,s pain but never refrain .....

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.
