Opportunity Poem by Kayaeisha Shaw

What is up with all these gangs.
All you hear is bang bang.
People dying
with all the war violence.
Come on this is very insane.
We have MS13, Crypts, Bloods, and Latin Kings
And many more that has yet to be seen.
Why do we fight among ourselves?
The people you fight for
Will not be there when you need them the most.
They will not catch you when you fall.
Stand tall
Be a person who has the opportunity to be someone
and accomplish something new
Drop the weapon, leave it all behind
They will not miss you
If you have hope and faith in your heart
Then you will have no problem
With being presented with good opportunities
You got another chance to find the right path
Choose wisely and do not make the same mistake twice.
