Today's Teens

Baltimore uprising, Freddie Gray and many others to say

this isn't the way.  A way down an unforsaken path to no

avail.  Nowhere but the corner to plight.  No social skills.

we might as well fight.  Boundaries crossed bring on the

wars of disrespect and neglect feelings of despair.  No 

one's to share.  Low self-esteem, teens drink fuel of fire

and pop a perc to give 'em liquid script of courage, a fight-

ing desire.  What a mean joke when young folks can't fight

instead pull the lead to the trigger.  All they conspire is

murder for hire. Shame to loose a good kid to the dead.

No respect for the suspect who murders.  Oh, how we

must indulge to confront the problem to bring about a 

solution for inner city youth who don't give a hoot.
