PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

children run for the ice cream truck

people duck when the pistol goes buck

back to school sales....

classic cool nails....

catch Ms. Hyong down the block, ladies

get up, for the hook-ups, coochie-cutters

made the whole block look up

who's that tryna cook rabbit stew?

Oh my bad....that's burnt burgers and franks

ain't nothin new

boys of summer competing for the pennant

young killas in the making about to be defendents

don't walk down them blocks if you don't know

who you're lookin for

or else pay a toll, ya better know how they roll

housing authority is renamed science projects

projected for settling for less is the common mindset

but we can hold a carnival to keep our sanity

and raise our kids through spirit and vanity

watch em grow like weeds as the hydrants spill

while the big kids hit the courts to smoke and chill

had a thought that the summer would end on a swell note

but America got something caught in its throat

devastation in our nation

as Katrina finger popped a population

left the south wet for weeks

without the act of copulation

emotionally damaged and screwed, hungry and confused

seeing our people negatively viewed on the news

the pile of shit from politics

couldn't mend em like Poligrip

but they held strong and held on...I know they gonna make it

flipped a chaos into a positive, care is what we had to give

for the end of summer, call it what you want

rough or smooth

I look forward to next summer

as long as God allows me to move
