Poem

By Shannon NPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

How do we continue to fight this war on earth,

When love and life now have no worth?

The constant urge to seek revenge ,

What happened to a community when everyone was friends

The battles not between the ones we love ,

It's really just discovering the people that we are

You say it was one fight for a little bit of money

but that 1 fight was far too many ,

it cost a boy his life

Yet he didn't even have a penny,

Now his mum can't say good night

Since she can't hold her little boy tight ,

Millions of family grieve each day ,

For their child's missing life due to a gang's influential way

If we let go of the pressures,

That society says is right

then we can create a community and finally put things right
