@Swan I was going to start following you after reading your poem but I was already following you, lol.
You're very good. I used to write poetry, and lyrics all day long. I've put 100's of beautiful poems and songs. Yet, because of my poverty and the tragedies that happen because of an evil capitalist state, I don't have 1 thing older than 14 years old, and I'm 50+ nothing before 2009 exists in my life. My wealth has been put on curbs every time cops harassed me and took me to jail I lost everything I owned. I always came out homeless without 1 stitch of clothing even.
People with families could come out a little better but orphans always end up homeless. I never got caught with drugs but cops harassed me because I lived in the black section of the city when I did have a place to stay. White people came to the hood in their cars to buy whatever drugs they wanted just a few blocks from where I lived. I had to leave the city and move far away to have a life because Memphis is one of the most over policed cities in America. They did it hard for so long that half or more of the citizens have no representation. They took away their voting rights.
Sorry about the rambling #OldManRamblings
