Anti Chi-Raq

Can't stand how they make these excuses...
It's pointless...useless
Like a peach tree that bears no fruit... Fruitless
The truth is
Somewhere along the line
This gunslinger mentality came along and we thought it was fine
Maybe even some thought it was cool
Perhaps I'm the fool
That can't connect the line between poverty and the rampant rise
Of Chicago homicide..
Blame it on the system they say...
A shame people only see it that way
Instead of stating obvious truths
We seem comfortable overlooking the climate of today's youth
Seems we are the gun toting
Self loathing
Shells of our former selves
Seemingly no one can help...
Stupid...idiotic...foolish.. to refer to your city as Chi-raq
What good can come from that?
That we embrace such crap?
No snitching huh?
Guess I'll just be wishing
We as human beings would just stand up
Collectively man up
And stop this violence
Stand tall in unity..not just sit in shocked silence
And then the page.
Where is the outrage?
No seriously...where is the outrage?
