    I NEED TO KNOW

    I Need To Know where do I stand in this world full of envy and hate
    against our fellow man, Where did the Love go I just don't understand

    Why must we call each other by names that has no true meaning but they can cause death, destruction and start a fire that can burn the soul
    Why must we hide the truth from our future but the past is so wrong when the story of our people needs to be told.

    I Need To Know why my brothers continue on a road to a system that was meant only to isolate the bad from the good, I Need To Know why my sister continue to bring a child in this world only to repopulate what we call the hood.

    Can we as a people unite and bring forth a time of peace and enjoy the day and the love that it brings, Can we as a people let down our guard and gather as one to rejoice and sing

    What will hapeen to us if we continue to fertilize the earth with the blood of our sister and brothers, What will happen when the blood is no longer of our peers but its the blood of our fathers and mothers.

    So many roads to choose from so many directions that I can go, I just needs some understanding because,

    I NEED TO KNOW.

    This poem was very thought provoking. One could argue if one chooses education over domination the path may be hopeful but our task is to teach the diffence to the masses. good luck Robert
