"A Poem of Truth"
Melvin
Carr Lane VPA Middle School
This is a poetry writing of love
Not hate
Our world is an unstable place
People are judging each other
By the color of their skin
And the religion of their race
Our black men are turning our community
Into a place of gang banging
And drug slanging
It’s like our world
Is taking its time to learn the basics
There are people
Who are trying
To make the world a better place
Despite the others
Who don’t want to do anything
But take up space
