Welcome to the world, <br />where the youth speak <br />words of doom and depair. <br />They carry the weight of <br />the futures fate and there <br />innocence is stripped bare. <br /> <br />White kids wanting black kids skin, <br />Black kids not knowing where to begin, <br />Keep there culture or adopt a new talk, <br />Keep there idenity or walk a new walk. <br /> <br />Left wing, right wing, broken wing <br />Welcome to family meltdown, <br />and nights of green and brown. <br /> <br />Once there was girls with cute little curls, <br />Now it's trappy tarts and vulgar vixens, <br />Where once there was hope in democracy, <br />Now its delusion and contradictions. <br /> <br />Am I pessimistic? probably, <br />telling the truth? <br /> oh honestly. <br /> <br />Heavy feat are sinking in streams of spit, <br />eyes blinded by leftover dreamy grit. <br /> <br />Welcome to the world, <br />where faith is a word seldom held. <br />Take me by the hand, <br />raise me from this barren land.<br /><br />Not Long Left<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/welcome-to-the-world/
