Black Boy ™ (Poem)

When you hear about a Black Boy what do you think?

Do you see someone who smokes, steals and drinks?

When you hear about a Black Boy do you think his destiny is jail?

You think of a person who does nothing but fail.

He cares nothing of school, so forget about Yale.

When you hear about a Black Boy all he does is party.

He can care less about a job, that's why he's always tardy.

When you hear about a Black Boy you see someone wild.

He impregnates a girl, then leaves the child.

When you hear about a Black Boy he's someone unwealthy.

He drinks and shoots up drugs and is far from healthy.

When you hear about a Black Boy he cannot dream.

He's too caught up in the hustler's scene.

When you hear about a Black Boy he wears a vest.

He's so use to hearing "you are under arrest."

But when you gave up on that Black Boy, and stripped away his pride

In the end all that Black Boy had was God on his side!
