A Young Black Boy Filled With Innocence And Care,
Looking For Someone, But No One Is There.
His First Day Of School, The Fathers Not Around,
To Comfort His Son When He's Sad And Down.
Looks Up To His Brother Who Knows Money And Power,
Watching His Back Every Single Hour.
An Innocent Boy Is Now Twelve Years Of Age,
And Finds Himself Locked Up In A Human-Sized Cage.
An Innocent Young Man Is Now A Criminal Mind,
Having Nightmares Of Murders Every Single Time.
But This Time You'll Think This Fool Should See The Light,
But He's Jumped In A Gang And They Nicknamed Him "Snipe"
Kicked Out Of The House And Left In The Cold.
Have You Ever Been Through This At Eleven Years Old?
He Says To Himself "No One Cares For Me"
Then Makes His Bed In An Old Park Tree.
The Next Time A Park Bench. How Long Can It Last?
Will He Forget This Dreadful, Dreadful Past!
He Goes To Wilson High With A Messed-Up Trail,
And Meets A Guardian Angel Named Erin Gruwell.
He Learns About The Holocaust, Anne Frank And The Jews,
Now The Time Comes That He Should Choose.
He Meets Anna, Terri, Tommy, And Others,
These Are the Innocent Boy's New Sisters and Brothers,
A 0.5 Now A 2.8-
Change Is Good, For Those Who Wait.
He's back To Innocence, But Still Has Fear,
That Death Is Upon Him And Drawing Near.
But People Say It's Hard To See,
This Life Of Emotions Is All About Me.
All this Is True, Because I'm Not A Liar,
Just A Brokenhearted Male With A Label-Freedom Writer!
