They funnel their energy /
Trough violent abuse /
Abstracted from meaning ,Their life is /
Abstruse /
They rule their domain by mobcracy /
Educated by the streets of Hypocrisy /
Not knowing their life is in despair /
Not remembering of anyone to care /
Their life is headed nowhere /

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.
