when will it all end?

Location

when will these ongoing killings maliciously end?

when will these senseless violence recklessly die?

when will these suicides of taking ones life cowardly stop?

when will young people wake up emphatically and realize about their purpose on the world we live in?

when will people stop turning away silently when they see something that's wrong?

a young man was hit by a car

a young woman slits her wrist with blood gushing out of her body rapidly feeling hopeless

young men feeling worthless that's insurmountable

young women feeling helpess that's undeniable

people's unspoken words that remains numb that's unremarkable

so when will it all end?

 

two kids fought over the honor of a family that never gave you birth right to be called a son

the fight was gang related illusion that's delusional like a dude who smokes weed and tries to educate people with moronic philosophy that doesn't even make sense

the sad part is that he fought for his so called friend who bounced on him

left to florida in exile leaving him with a record that is recorded by law enforcement

while his man is hiding somewhere in the basement

when will all end?

 

a kid is pushing weight for someone who don't even know his name

stupidity is influencing you to be stuck on stupid

while you trying to look cool, fear races up and down your spine faster than your heartbeat

knowing what awaits for you outside

and you still don;t know his name and you pushing that kilo

how stupid are you?

when will all end?

 

as a community

stop ignoring the problem

cut the crap out with innuendos of stop being snitches

your conscious is receiving all the stitches

for not even speaking out

what are you afraid of? being found out?

and yet you're the 1st to complain that there's drug dealers on the corner

but you remain silent.......what a hippocrit

let's be honest here

why is there no sit down with law enforcement about the judicial system

why is there no sit down with young people about what they want

why is there no sit down with local business owners about not enough money being made because of the high crime rate?

why is there no sit down with people who lives in the community who express disinterest and no empathy to what goes on in the neighborhood?

nobody cares, nobody cares

people is out for oneself

so when will all end?

 

i'll tell you when

when i begin a movement saving lives of young people

when they watch and witness

on that stage

how i'll change history

and pave the way for young people to create their own legacy

that's when it all ends...................you watch

you learn, and you damn well respect!!!!!!!!!!!
