News From The Hood

CATEGORY

life

Views: 239

When livin in the concrete grind of the hood

never do you seem to hear the good

Days of basketball and playground have

seen their day fade away

With technology shooting from the sky

mind control through video games , cameras strung

out through the hood captures all that is not good

in the hood its our spy in the sky

Radio waves of politicians spewing their agenda, songs

propheysysing bout being a gangasta  give our youth

no choice but be propagandinized by materialistic beings

with them dollar bills so that is all our youth is seeing

Violence is the way to go pay me money and I will

put on a show, never mind these are but lyrics, young minds

bassed out to the rhythm that to them is a realistic fact

I need cash so commit this violent act

Nothing to live for but fear I cant escape this hood

There is nothing wrong with dying young be it you or me

this is my reality

war ...of the minds... pounded to the beat of the asphalt pavement ...echoes of love's strong grip ...slipped into the cracks in the walls ...long lost love ballads ...all but gone...

Yes Charles2. We still have so much t do. The propagandization has "hooded" the Hood. We must once again get back to "de-brain-washing". Thanks for the News update. Peace and Love, mlowe5
 

DOLISHA DEVONNE says:

This is wonderfully written and accurate as ever! Sadly, this is a reality too real, where hood mentality is a trap that many never escape.
