Gang Violence

Gang violence 

Affiliated or not 

It damages the mind 

It aches the soul

From a distance, it’s almost impossible to look away.

What do you do? Call the police? No, It doesn’t work that way.

The people who never get a break 

Those are the people I feel for.

They don’t get to have a life where a college is a possibility…

They live in a world trapped with their families 

Gang violence

The hopeless, bottomless pit others drown in.

I’m sorry to those who can’t imagine the words hope.

I want them to know I care and if in need I am there…

Gang violence 

A big issue in this world

Someday, We will live in peace...

With all of our hearts in one piece.
