Phase 2: "Hooded Obstacles" (Hero Contest)

CATEGORY

life

Views: 389

Struck by the disease known as poverty. 

Can't find a job in this weakening economy. 

Even worse, I'm stuck in the hood with enemies who have fantasies of harming me.   

Can't survive when a gun holds all the sovereignty. 

I look in the mirror, and you know what I see, another sheep being herded around by government supremacy.   

Can't be who I am now, to change  is what need. 

But obstacles in life have me sipping brew and smoking weed. 

Walk outside, my hood covers my face, cuz I don't wanna end up as a homicide case. 

Trying to find a way outta this hellish place, so I can grow up and not be a damn disgrace. 

Had a conversation with myself to see if I'm in good mental health, but all I could think about was getting wealth. 

Take a trip through my hood and you'll see nothing is good. 

So give some respect if you could. 

Already tried to get out, so stop saying that I should. 

Life for me is full of "Hooded Obstacles". 

One day I'll get past all that then I'll be unstoppable.
