SOCIETY/MINORITIESA Poem by Aileen
Society doesn’t want to see minorities succeed Especially Hispanic’s who are so in need
Poverty is an issue for us and counseling is a must We’ve taken many wrong directions because in no one we can trust
We become teenage mothers and quit school We have no one to guide us and show us it’s not cool
They rate us in statistics and judge us by the majority We don’t get a turn to learn and earn and we get no priority
They might call us spics or hicks or use other racial comments They hate to view us as important as Doctors, lawyers, or sergeants
We go through embarrassment and sometime even through harassment What they don’t know is that we are, in fact, intelligent
I got my associates degree but that’s not where I want to be I won’t give up until my masters I achieve
I would like to see my people accomplish more or less the same To show our cruel society we’re not all about the game
We need to stick together to prove we are not lame And of our culture, we have no shame
