Soldiers Gone Poem by Edgard Canales

Soldiers Gone



This For all my n.ggas dead and gone
all them n.ggas doing time up in the pen
who ain't never coming home.
Just want to give a shout
To all the n.ggas doing time
hate to say it but
they never getting out.
All the real thugs
who show no love
faces got mean mugs
Yelling
f.ck the cops when they in cuffs.
It's like it's a must
catching cases left to right
be with them one minute
next minute some one took they life.
Seemed like just last night
I was getting tatted with Negro and my n.gga Chris
now they both up the road doing murder bids.
As kids
we did what ever
just to come up on some cheddar
never thought they'd be up in the pen
making shanks and writing letters.
Don't get me wrong
I'm not saying they didn't do the crime
But 4 and 5 life sentences messes with your mind
forever is a very long, long, time.
Bottom line
I miss you all
pray to God, you never fall
stand real tall
I still recall
gettng chased by police and hiding in the halls,
How we came up and spend it all
had all the girls looking
when we hit the malls.
Why the good die young?
Ralph G, my childhood friend
got killed by his own mom.
I sing a song
to calm the strom
that's in my heart
when i think about all the soldiers gone.
Berney who got killed in that drive by
my Auntie cried so hard we thought that she would die.
I won't lie
Lord knows I tried
full of pride
revenge was in my heart so I couldn't cry.
To my boy Sammy, I miss you man
did some time together
we had a master plan
no one understands
how much miss my friends.
So much people I know who dead and gone
or ain't never getting out,
like I said before just want to shout,
and pray to God
to take all those souls we've lost,
have mercy on judgement day
cause Jesus has already payed the cost,
of cleaning all are sins,
when my time comes
I'll take with me a cup of Gin
like Pac said
Just in case I don't get in.
I sing a song
to calm the strom
that's in my heart
when I think about all the soldiers gone.
