I try to write a poem /
But the noise from next door /
Bounces from my flour /
The squatters delight /
My nightmare in flight /
They live for free /
Not like you and me /
Saying they are homeless /
Bull shit back bone less /
Got things wrong in this nation /
What is this masturbation /
Work to get ahead /
Bull shit then your dead /
Street drugs more than in a drug store /
Street whores with more blocks of open doors /
No red light district here /
Damn that's what i fear /

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.
