Little Pope

Hey, somebody get that boy's attention...

can't decipher why he keeps a smile

on his mug

like there's no issues in the world for 'em

his world doesn't stop for anything

his little frame embraced by that

five day old shirt

just a damn shame for someone 12 years old

to smell like a 22 year old

smells like he wants to be alone

crowbar in one hand

hubcaps in the other

off to perform his young career

on trivial activity, criminal elements

that could expire his short stay in the ghetto

we pray to God he doesn't expire someone else's first

no moms....

pops? yeah right.....

probably bounced after he ran up in his moms

why not snatch up lil dude

guide him and provide him

with tools to develop his worth and well being

I believe in lil dawg

could be a mechanic, transit worker, mathemetician, laborer...

but now we can help raise this kid

whom we all call Little Pope

with lack of hope...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

And would you believe he is now a landscape artist? Moral is....it's never to late for change.
