Man of honor ,who would that be /
Maybe you , maybe me /
Surly not them /
Those that condemn /
different ways of life /
Everyday strife /
Children's walk to school /
often not song and dance /
But dodging whores ,crack heads , thugs
Always taking a chance /
Wake up mom and dad take a glance /
Too busy getting stoned /
Your children getting grown ///////

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.
