Rip 14 Year Old Poem by Cherokee Akan Ewe

Rip 14 Year Old



crazy how one day you here and the next day you gone...must have been scoped on when i paid for your snacks at the local convenient store for you and your siblings trying my best to relate to and with you regardless of lesser environment which surrounds many like handcuffs and a steel incorporated steel of property by the municipal acres branched
lower than the state
lower than the federal
and not to be mistaken for the Fed
as those two are totally different and as a mind of fact three be different
as one refer to the branch
the other refer to federal criminal authorities
and the other refer to Federal Reserve...
and if you ain't knowing
then you too could be in that river face down clothes torn or plastic bagged floating


ain't no reason for being fake
so i keeps my Series 7 26 65
Ranger Handbook and Hazard Materials Handbook
plus my CompTIA Network Tech cert on me
cause pursuing your law degree is nothing to play wid by far or near
as Notary Public for lesser fee and even marry you and yours sincere
people be looking at me as if frozen headlights in the doe and buck eyes fulfilled of fear
is all they listen foe tah hear
and um oh dear
another alcoholic stumbling for that 12 pack of a case of beer
now you see why i rather share with you or shared with you about the realities of life
and how they related to your inspirations
but even i could not save another 14 year old from the itchy grasps of human death at an early age
many still believing in a heaven or hell below
above so below
while past be the west and the future be the east
is what they say and how they live
RIP 14 year old....

keep your hands in your pockets and your shoulders against the wall...tried to tell him he was no zodiac or prophet or gangsta or criminal or evil or color or even dropout...just a Soul occupying a human body....
