Son i feel you drift away /
I should have never left you out to play /
Taken you from me this ghetto way /
I know you are only eight /
But you are not of shake and bake /
i want for you so much more /
Not something from a dollar store /
now you cuss and swear /
all learned over there /
But no my son i can not let this be /
I want you to be better than me /
Love
daddy

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.
