what we are

a poem about teenagers

Teenagers, prejudice

Louts and layabouts

Hoodys, scum

Times have changed

Communities rearranged

Knives carried for pride

Cars taken for a joy ride

You only see the bad

All the things that make us mad

You want us to change

But we can’t

It’s how you make us today

We need opportunities

Some sense of responsibilities

We are the youth of today

But we can’t repay to the communities

You’ve taken everything away

Then leave us with the blame

 

Give us a break,

You get me?
