Wake Up! (Poem)

The time is now to open your eyes

and see the demise,

of our people falling to their knees

not willing to beg or plead,

for mercy  in our homes

instead people living in dorms,

like jail & not able to make bail.

What will it take

to correct the mistakes

that is before our eyes?

How many times will a mother have to cry

before she's able to stand

and not have a no good man

that's by her side bringing her down

not making her smile but leavin a frown.

Why are our children in jail

Mommy is living in hell

while daddy is rollin

with his hoes and smokin?

Why is the schools failing

with their hands out beggin

when our kids still can't read,

write but yet its our kids in need.

Take your hands out of my pocket

yet we spending dollars on space rockets

I wish I could fly away

where children are protect everyday

Where the government actually cared

and people are no longer scared

When will we realize

the poor, the sick and homeless cries

to just be able to survive

instead our country leave em alone to die.

Open your eyes

to this country's demise

Let's lend a hand 

to a fellow man

Let's raise up a nation

to became a example for the next generation

Let's feed the hungry

like the request of the Census Bureau mandatory survey's.

Let's cloth our minds

and rewind our anger to be kind.

Let's be ladies and dress with class

Instead of showing our &*@#!

Let's be men who showed respect

instead of being incorrect,

when calling woman out their name

would you want your mother called the same?

How many times must see our kids die?

How many more times will the politicians lie?

How many churches will keep the doors locked?

How many molesters will not receive what our children got?

How many mouths will stay shut?

When will my people wake up!!
