"You're Not a Reflection of Me!"

"You're Not a Reflection of Me!"

A Poem by Cbklyn4u

Looking around in amazement..

"

 

Not a Reflection of Me!
 
This is our dwelling
Our Home,  our space
Bur lies in this community
Is what makes it a disgrace
 
           Menacing
 
Can’t find the time
To walk out and seek
Where to trash your containers
After stuffing your cheek
 
           Ugliness
 
Spewing your tobacco
Desperate for that blunt
We know where trash goes
Not like you gotta hunt
 
          Disrespect
 
Relieving your urges, pissing everywhere
Convenient for you
Why the Hell don’t you care?
Your puddles I have to deal with too?
 
        Pungent
 
Can’t stand proud alone
Everyone, open your eyes!
Just whispers to roam
Why not take off your disguise
 
       Unity
 
You’re a reflection of your environment
But not a reflection of me
You have made a dent
In our Community’s indecency
 
      Reality

Sometimes it's hard to retain your proudness when others just don't care. It's hard for many to separate the individual from the environment. Careful how we judge.
