People of The World

A Poem by Andre Waters II

You need anything I'm there
Just say the time and where
That's what all the good friends would say
Tell shorty to text hey
But nowadays we get the silent treatment
It's nowadays people get defensive
Over some senseless violence
Retaliation being seen rising in em
My guns in my car now
Gonna go catch a body.
My aim too wicked forensics gonna make a use of their hobby.
They'll probably say inconclusive on the autopsy.
Bullets are bulletproof
There's nothing you couldn't do
So tell me what you would do

No one in to save you now.
Tell me what's gon put you down
In the dirt?
Today tomorrow. We're all in our last days
Do it hurt?
Well I go quick and we'll die on a machine?
Tell me what we need is medicine
That never was made in factories or garden trees
There's nothing in the way of making a dream
Come true so just put your mind to it.
We got a bit more issues than we thought
No need for tissues
This is real, and it's not getting any less from here.
Probably not the time thinking about what's the next move,
Better yet the move that's ahead of the next move
And a few moves more.
I share this all around the world.
For all my friends family, all my dudes and the girls
I think it's time the people make peace with world.

A very moving piece with a powerful message
to unite
we often draw those lines thinking it gives rise to power
only to come to one conclusion we are at our weakest when we are not looking at our existence as one
i can very much relate to your work witnessing the gulf crisis with the Qatar attack that has taken place at the holiest month of the year "Ramadan".

You should write more of this nature and raise awareness

well done

I very much enjoyed your message, which kind of wanders around thru a tangle of ideas & finally landing on the ending, which ties things together. I get the idea that there's an intentional crafting of a type of talk that's a bit "incorrect" & slang-sounding, as would be appropriate for such as those living in a violent locale. Good job of presenting slices of despair along with a note of encouragement.

I've used warning signs, focal points and makeshift gauges. I've moved further than I ever thought I could, but I'm still missing a lot more than I thought I would. That doesn't stop me from moving cl.. more..
