Public Service Announcement

Writing is my gift and my curse

Cuz through it, you see the best and the worst

Of me whether I'm down or up

My thoughts flow like juices

From a bottle to a cup

I write about what I love and I hate

It's like freeing my feeling by pushing gate

Releasing and unleashing my thoughts into the air

Not caring if the reader bores or scares

Cuz these are my feels and their running amuck

Whether they make sense or they virtually suck

You may not respect me or want to be near me

But these are my thoughts and the world will hear me

I may be young and naïve, but I'm very mature

And by all means I'll kick down that door

Of the oppressors that look down upon me because I am black

Or the ones who see my skin color and think I smoke crack

Well I am on crack but my crack is knowledge

My spirit may be broken but I'm still going to college

Cuz a spirit could heal but it's not the same for ignorance

It's like contracting mental illness with no health insurance

Getting treatment is extremely expensive

Like without education employers are more apprehensive

To give the jobs to the people who deserve it

Which show that whatever you want in life have to work for it

But most kids all they do is play laugh

I've made my choice and did the math

Writing is fundamental to me its like my military draft

But my generation instead of devoted to art or craft

They give themselves to the streets and growth is rushed

Then by the time they realized what they've done their dreams are crushed

Ignorance is an epidemic that is deadly if left undetected

So this is a public service announcement to you and the president we elected
