Not So Tender Words

people believe
words are tender and life is sweet
untill they step inton my block
curses fist fights and gun battles
the hynita cryin at the end of the block
cuz da one she loves
is gone n he aint commin bak
he died at jus 17
a bullet to the head
a single gasp for breath and it was ova
killed for what another called revenge
he had secrets nobody knew
while another hyna cries up in her room
hiding a secret she cant reveal
pregnant at just 16
the babys daddy
already denyin
she told him the news
thought he'd be happy
instead he flips out
and leaves her
in the park a young man cries
sitting alone
under a weepin willow
remembering the night before
when his lady died
in his very arms
taking his love his lyfe and his child
to the other side
sitting in the cemtrary is yet another young man
cries and ponderin
could the baby really be his
he isnt doing much
just thinking
and wondering
crying cuz he misses his lady
cryin cuz he cussed her out n slapped her
never before had he touched her out of anger
while down da block a madre cries
her son dead
long before his time
she looks at the photos
on the mantel
and thinks back
crying out
hating the world
yet thouse are the only cries
a father cries tambien
his only daughter
murdered in cold blood
taking his grand child
and only reason to surive
with him
