CHAPTERS OF THOUGHTS/ AFTER READING THE DAILY NEWS PAPER ON 2-9-11

A Poem by Eternal Thought

so what do we have here

a tragic beating to a girl who was only 21 years

& oh yeah

homicide is the case

the perpetrators should get the chair

or at least 121 years

i wonder if they knew that a baby was in there

it was a two for one

a beautiful daughter or son

will never have a chance to see the sun-rise

or the chance to love mommy

or the chance to see the love for them in their mother's eyes

black rose

picked from a beautiful garden

by evil souls

and because of this

motherless her 3 year old has to grow

tuning the pages of my daily news

i'm somewhat confused

everybody wants an african body blues

from england to philly international

a country that runs on the poor man as capital

lacking moral precision

causing physical incisions

buttocks injections in hotels

nobody care about life

because death sales

martin should take that to run & tell

turning the pages of my daily news

some believe crime is the answer

a man wanting hell to fall upon an hospital

because he believe they gave his daughter cancer

education is losing cash

and we wonder why some of our youth

can careless if they pass

they see the writings on the wall

the s**t ain't braille

so it ain't hard to tell

the society don't care for our education so why should we

i'm not saying it's right

yet this is how it be

turning the pages of my daily news

a car chase

one dead

carjacker they said

a new mural went up

some candle & painted tee

no matter the crime

he still was someone's baby

ninjas are hungry and will eat by any means

stomachs touching backs

layoffs and a family of 6

cause a man to put on all black

survival of america was the case that they gave him

i saw a million Christians watch 

as a million children marched there innocence to a nearby cemetery

babylon is fallen

holla if you hear me
