Don't just read the words
understand the ways
educated by the streets
inside ones crazy days
do you give a shit
have you got a clue
life's a bed of roses
ye.... and God is sniffing glue
the devils dressed in white
and birds can't fucking fly
I'm a fucking angel
and the pope is getting high
knifes up every sleeve
youth just think it's cool
but youth don't have a clue
and I'm no cunts fool
looking out there window
them who's life is good
watching youth just lose
then say it's cos the hood
but blood is blue not red
and the youth don't have a clue
I just write the lines
but everyone seems true

every line is true and we are in seperate countries so what does that say? Awesome as always Paul! I love the way you write!
-
and the truth is
yep the pope he wants to ban 'modern music' take it back to the dark ages for christ sake give him so decent glue next time...then again if he was on the same shit as his boss mmm could be interstng love the imagery you just capture the emotional situations as you do from the heart
keep the ink flowing. we really have lost the plot of what should be important in life. nice one

A write which is raw,knives not knifes,perhaps you wrote this in a gangster vein with the swearing and the terminology to add authenticity?The culture of weapons being carried is down to not the youth culture but the adults who parent,the adults who are in Parliament for it is by example that children learn,yes,they will be co erced by peer pressure but parents are under so many pressures and Blair decriminalizing or rather declassifying drugs and introducing 24 hour drinking with all the other policies has systematically contributed to our culture and youth being affected.A thought provoking write re society.Especially pertinent to me as yesterday an eleven year old knifed another eleven year old at a school here,which was astonishing.

That was really strongly written. The emotions come through loud and clear. The anger is what drives the words across the page. Great job of venting. Good read.

Yeah, this was fucking awesome.
Good work man, the best poem I've seen in a long while.
Keep it up
