3980, *A Day in the Life/Poverty*
Posted by TheProdigiousPoet, Wed Aug-13-03 06:38 AM
Oddly poverty had become a commodity,
Or a monstrous monopoly,
That epiphany bothered me, I was stricken with this conviction thinking possibly...
Wondering why bother giving her a dollar or two,
She'll forget her toddler and spend my deposit on booze,
So I began to keep walking, wondering what the Father would do...
Faced with a decision, what type of world do we live in,
When women wear the world on their shoulders, and we stare and smolder their feeling,
Trying to get a feel-in...
Heel the children, but the child's heel was filled with mildew from walking in sewage in the basement of a used building...
No shoes no sox, no food no pops...
Then they wonder why we take poprox...
And I know popular music is hot, but when we use it to rob our own people this evil must stop...
She hated life, told me how beautiful death is,
Rap told her ice was tight, but now she can't eat that necklace,
So she told me her death wish...
Let not my son be reckless, and even though they disrespect us,
Let's invest in Texas...
I thought she was high, looked in her eyes, the tears were gone...
Unify, you and he, unity, before I die, promise me...
Obviously poverty had plagued her, she was in need of a savior,
Ten dollars is what I gave her,
And obliged her favor...
