Remember Those Times Poem by Jamelia Lane

Remember those times

when we were little singing songs and nursery rhymes

when little grils fell and skinned there knee we all lost teeth not virginity

when all the dreamin of what to be

dreaming farther than the eye can see

remember those times



Remeber thos times everybody went to school

laughing joking ha! my mama didnt raise no fool

yet now everything changed

they got crazy. wierd, strange



kids dropping out of school parents not caring

remeber thos times when it was candy we were sharing

not even worried about drugs

kids running around being thugs



Remember those times we used to pray for toys

now we are praying got dead boys

living in a world that have turned so selfish

in world women treat there self worthless





Remeber those times we played outside

now it is shooting. raping anf kidnapping. lucky if you survive

rememer those times moms cared

successful. someone always prepared

now your all alone on your own

your considered luck if you even had a home
