Gang poems
Another Lost Cause
My people are hurting
children turned to monsters,
Northern Cali livin where 9 year old kids curse like mobsters.
Politicians cant figure out the reason
for all the drugs violence and hate,
but I alone know the answer to why all that seems their fate.
Ask them about their childhhood
and theyll become distant and blank,
some clutch 9′s with their lil hands
while watching their young mothers snort up crank.
Ask the lil cholas
why they settle for men who use their fists
and youll hear a story of a baby raped, at the tender age of six.
Little boys protecting their mothers from drunk inked up men
lil girls watching their older brothers sent off to the pin
Damnt dont yall see, it starts at home
broken and battred women, feeling safe by a cholos chrome.
Then having kids to young,
resenting their lost youth
the mothers take off
leavin the oldest kid to raise the other two.
I know a girl whos mother sold her tiny body
for a bit of cheap dope
to the same men who slept with her
and lived all in her home.
It sickens me, the rate that dehumanization is quickening
upper class fight over allowance
always havin but steady bickering.
While a kid across town
is lettin the homies pull a train
cuz she needs protection from them in this wicked terrain.
Wheres the parents? Some cant be found. Out tryin to ease the pain
that their parents handed down.
The cycle has to be broken
someone has to care
for these orphaned ghetto children
thinking normality is despair.

That was really something. I’ve been searching gang/violence poetry for a presentation, and this has the same intense FEELING as a lot of the other poems I’ve read, but what sets it apart is the SKILL with which it was crafted. Excellent poem overall–very touching.
