Endangered Species: Part 2

Why are we rapidly decreasing in number?

Who Are we?

Will  we be able to accomlish anything, before we die?

Will we become all that we can possibly be?

Or will we have a future unwillingly stolen from us?

Are we confused endangered species?

without a complete education, our dreams will burn.

To robbing, cheating and even murder, we will surely turn.

Is there anyway in this world, that we can excel,

without selling drugs and condemning our whole race to hell?

Are we confused endangered species?

Over the years sexually transmitted diseases have

become a fatal threat to us.

With the coming of AIDS and other diseases that were not

known to be so deadly.

Is there hope for the endangered teenage black male?

If not there are only two options, and those are death and jail.

Are we confused endangered species?

We know that we are part of a quickly fading breed,

but all were really asking you is to help us all in our time

of greatest need.

This poem was inspired by a friend of mines who's got Aids, so I thought I'd write about him since he at the stage where he's questioning himself and the world. As I always say keep that pen handy and movin you never know when inspiration will hit you.
