It doesn't make you a man,
running around with a gang.
Acting big shows how small you are.
A blade won't get you far.
It doesn't earn you respect,
it is just the derelict
thoughts of a worn-down brick,
something that would crumble under
a touch of bad weather.
You have so much more to offer.
Look inside, then look outside
and see how far and wide
the world spans.
You can make things happen,
if you pick up a book and
put down the weapon.
Seeking respect?
Make people give it.
Show them what you can do
when you use your brain.
This world is already
overflowing with pain
So why add to that?
Go out and make it better
with a pen and a writing pad.
You have the tools,
inside your skull,
you just need to use it for
something more useful than settling scores.
The blade won't get you the world you want,
it may give you life,
only it will be spent in a prison cell,
where you will wonder where that life went.
Every time they shut down the lights,
you will be visited by memories
that will haunt your dreams at night.
The blade is not the way to escape hell.
It is not a way to find inner peace.
It won't give you sanctuary,
just a life watching your back for attack.
An eye for an eye is two eyes too many.
So, open your eyes and see
that this is not the path that you seek
and the world isnt your enemy.
Thanks for reading
