FUTURE

Up in flames The remains Of the past Future leaders Doctors and lawyers They made wrong choices Which cost them their lives Cost them their wives The pocket knives they wear In their jeans Harmless as they may seem Branded by society Of who they should not be Pants sagging Lally gagging In the streets Perpetuating the vision Most of them are in prisons Voiceless They are 6 feet under we are the thunder And lightning That will make the dark light We are their voice that will make the wrong right We are the moon in the day We are the sun at night As the mother Of a young brother We aim to make the change we want to see in this world Nelson Mandela The little boys and girls Will become the men and women oftomorrow Our job is to ensure their tomorrow Peace and love Not war and strife Kisses and hugs Not guns and knives
