Life

Today you turn legal and that's not to good
Going into clubs and picking up boys from the hood
Drunk driving because of peer pressure
Tipsy because it helps you feel better
Going to college is no joke
Dropping out six months later because you chocked
Find yourself pregnant not knowing who the father
One year later got caught stealing food for your daughter
Going on twenty without an education
Now you got two mouths to feed no room for hesitation
Finally getting married at around thirty-five
Kids real happy, they got a good figure in their lives
Kids off to college and you ain't ready for them to leave the nest
But you let them go anyway cause you know it's for the best
Praying for them hoping the past all their tests
Now you thanking God that your kids were able to be blest

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
