The Poet Said

How do you do-Yes all the words I speak are true
Now days everyone has a crew
Youngsta’s in the hood spittin what it do
And even Ellen Degeneres has a boo
World all twisted convoluted truth
Knowledge leads to power Bonds still chasin Ruth
The genome decoded and lives becoming devoted
To nothing more than survival and death
If we give up on love we’ll have nothing left
2005 a year of disaster some say it’s a message from the master
The tsunami Katrina and we can’t forget the war
The leaders of the world have just gone too far
Not protecting the people or treating them fair
All the rhetoric they spew is just a bunch of hot air
Leading the world into despair
The old folks would say well I declare
It once took a village to raise a child
Now half the damned children are running wild
Baby’s raising baby’s so what do we expect?
Just tune into the news to see what happens next
A woman threw her kids off the bridge
And in New Orleans the cops beat up on pops
Wake me up when all the madness stops
This is way too much drama for my head
I’d rather be chillin’, relaxing, having fun instead
Cut to solutions what are we going to do
Treat each other right yeah I’m talking about you
Get involved take action yes I mean vote
The ratio of citizens to voters is a serious joke
Some of this is a reflection of what I’ve been fed
This is not what I heard it’s what The Poet Said
