Baltimore's Youth

Baltimore's Youth

A Poem by ROXANE DORSEY

Baltimore uprising, Freddie Gray and many others to say,
this isn't the way. A way down an unforsaken path to no
avail. No where but the corner to plight.  No social skills,
we might tis well fight. Boundaries crossed bring on the wars
of disrespect and neglect feelings of despair. No one's to 
share.  Low self-esteem, teens drink fuel of fire to give them
liquid courage, a fighting desire.  What a mean joke when
young folks can't fight instead pull the lead to the trigger.
All they conspire is murder for hire.  Shame to loose a good
kid to the dead. No respect for the suspect who murders.
Oh, how we must indulge to comfort the problem to bring 
about a solution for inner city youth who don't give a hoot.
