Hunger, homelessness... <br />Joblessness and violence, <br />Increasingly observed... <br />In neighborhoods once preserved, <br />To leave those believing... <br />In an isolated environment, <br />These 'realities'... <br />Would be prevented, <br />If they ignored this existence... <br />In places where others were forced to live, <br />With an intention meant... <br />To keep them limited wth laws passed to consent. <br /> <br />Well... <br />A truth ignored, <br />Has a way of knocking, <br />On secluded doors. <br />With an expectation to be welcomed, <br />By those who implemented... <br />The creation of this invention. <br /> <br />'Hello. <br />Remember me? <br />The toy gun, cowboys and indians. <br />Racism with criticisms. <br />With videos inflicting upon others woes. <br />While depleting my resources, <br />For yourselves to feed. <br />And then turning those innocent, <br />To have others perceive them... <br />As your enemies. <br />You remember me. <br />Don't you? <br /> <br />And now you wish to complain about this? <br />Because your lives lived have become affected? <br />You remember me! <br />I'm sure you do.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
