A Cry For Help

A Cry for Help

  

I live in this place they call The Keys

So many cries for help, but no one sees

 

So much poverty so much shame

Women selling their body looking for someone to blame

 

Our youth running the streets selling dope

They say life is too hard

They weren’t taught how to cope…

 

Quick to judge… not even giving them a chance

No help offered to change their circumstance

 

A kind word or a helping hand

Could encourage a growing man

 

People tend to see what they want to see

Please open your eyes.. This is our community

 

They want out, but can’t seem to find their way

Cries unheard…..it’s just another day….
