Poetry should hopscotch in a long dress up an down the West,
and hold your hand
when you walk past the red Drug house that is the best.
Poetry should wear a white robe with a cross sign to practice preaching for all the young men with snap backs and fades shootin scraps by the corner store,
Poetry should dress in real sharp business suits and not be so educated that it don't stop every now and then to sit on the porches of dope dealers to talk about the evil doers and the poors.
Poetry should ride the CTA buses in a baby mama's diaper bag between the flamin hot bag an chicken wings to be served with Friday's dinner,
Poetry should drop by the liquor store holding Jesus's photo album to tell the unsaved spirits to do not turn this place into a killer.
Poetry should sing uplifting songs by 2pac "Hold On" and "Me against The world" that sends a message to your scalp, and bring hope to the bloods when you think you are able to cope,
Yeah
Poetry should walk with the protectors and protestors marching an speaking the word of poetic justice that upholds.
