A great time to thrive!
Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)
So many broken dreams!
Under estimated, and appreciated, it seems!
Most prefer to read the bad news!
If your robbing or killing someone their all for you!
If your promoting violence they love you to death!
When you conform to another's view of what, society should look like, to them, you're, top shelf!
Yet, dare to be diffrent and watch what they say!
Have your own opinion and you'll get thrown away!
Tell the truth and they hate you!
Follow your own path, and, how quick, they'll slay you!
Do good in school and stay out they way!
They'll beat down your door and curse, to your, face!
This ones for, the misfists, the hated, the diffrent!
Do not what they do, you are not, a victim!
People have died for doing what's right!
While others are lazy, and try to eat up their sides!
One thing that will always boil, my blood, is when crooks are valued over, the ones, that did, the, hard work!
Rather, behind, a desk, or creating new shelves, it will
come back to bite you!
Robbing those innocent!
So I, will work, until, I'm tired!
Write, until, I can not!
Dream for the persecuted!
Speak, for those who could not!
I will not hurt you if I could not help!
Jesus, died for us all!
That's why they hated him!
Sad and true this world is cruel!
In the end, they'll remember me for this not you!
Dare to tell the truth!
Something, that could not, be, over ruled!
