Rhymes of of a Sociological Nature.....

Rhymes of of a Sociological Nature.....

A Poem by Andrew N. Farrens
"

Inspired by the robbery and shooting death of an old man in broad day-light in a well-known city park......Stockton's homicide rate is out of control.

"

Baby, I tell you
I don’t mean to complain

Oh yes, it is tragically insane and irrevocably mundane

But I really cannot think of any other way to refrain

From getting this bad craziness off my congested chest

But I’m not passing the blame

I know what has to be done, the end of Karmic fun

Staying true to myself keeps the things inside my head sane

We all know the old saying that pain

Is weakness leaving the body and like a junkie kicking the habit,
I suffer through the personal shame

But, baby, it’s so damned hard to be positive

In a city where you can die for simply wearing a gold-chain

A place where you really have to worry

About some emotionally crippled youngster’s murderous game

And y’all can speak about prideful stupidity

But sure as Kazinsky is my alias name

These weak-minded “gangsta’s” are going to have to kill me dead

If any sort of ill-gotten monetary profit is to be gained

So, go ahead, shoot me with that gun

But you b******s better have practiced your aim

So that the job gets done.....right

I wouldn’t experience a meaningless death

Under the full moon of an otherwise dark night

But until then, my misguided young friend,

When such danger is within my sight

I absolutely guarantee that

Drew Kazinsky will put up a fight

Yes, this very well could mean that I might die

Such behavior, though, I do not consider suicide

I’m just protecting what is mine

In this insidious City of Stockton,

The filthy Mudville of the two-oh-nine (209)

Author's Note

Andrew N. Farrens
In the last year, due to the economy, many Jerk Chicken Ass Punk Bitches have been snatching gold-chains, culminating in the murder of a sixty-two year old man in broad daylight. This was the inspiration for these rhymes.....

i am so enraged by the whole "gang" situation in this country. i feel it should be federal law to criminalize gangs and gangsters, putting them away for life for even belonging to a gang.they are a bunch of pansy pantywaist little punks who don't have the intestinal fortitude to face the rigors of life and take responsibility for themselves and their own lives. victimizing the weak and the old...ooh, what a big bad man you are!!!! all you are is a pathetic useless excuse for a life . a waste of human flesh. (sorry, i was directing this at the gangsters and got carried away). your writing skills are so effective that i feel personally involved by the time i have read it. great job!

Unbelievable how senseless humans can be and tragically many become part of a group or gang for some kind of fun. A creative and perfectly emotional write. Nicely done.

those acts are so senseless. some of these young gangsters have no conscience at all..and the innocent suffer for it,,,but i have to wonder,,what happened in their young lives to send them down that evil road. is evilness caused by nature or nurture?
