How did I come so far to be held back
and no I don't think it's because "I"m Black"
It's... I made a mistake
For Pete's Sake
A bad decision on my part
that everyone is taking to heart
this mistake I made has come back to haunt me
things are getting so crucial at night I can't sleep
everyone says don't worry a job will come
but it's hard not to worry when there's no lump sum
of cash coming every two weeks
to the bill collectors that answer is very misleading
that answer will get you kicked out of your home
it's really no fun to walk the streets alone
but whats really a trip
even as the years trickle away
years later I'm still paying for past deeds
in such a understanding society no one will listen to my plea
because the old saying still runs true
in my youth my ignorence was evident
Now how does it go "Good deeds are easily forgotten."
"but Evil deeds are remembered Forever."
A poem about the truth of Evil Deeds.
