My Take On Things

Question by trubornsoulja: Poem i wrote while in iraq, what do u think?
Lost souls,

Like chainless dogs

Wander these streets

Families and homes

Once solid, now broken

Like the glass bottles and syringes

Crushed below our feet

Abandoned children

Like cars no longer running

Give front yards a cemetery-like ambience

Back yards once lush with green grass

Cookouts and laughter

Now dawn a desert atmosphere

Mothers birth fatherless children

Taking lessons from the harlots of the game

Learning to expose their body

Sliding down poles and dancing

For faux love and fame

Victims of false admiration

Secretly and openly called tricks and whores

As if their given name

Living their lives through other peoples fantasies

Getting and having no respect

Yet absent of shame

Boys no longer reach for success

Or to be the father they never had

Instead of making their own way

They follow in his path

Fertilizing seeds, not helping them to grow

Abandoned fruit from the tree just as their father

I guess you do reap what you sow

No more visions of the lime-light

Being a doctor, athlete or lawyer

Just rappers and thugs

There words and heart meaningless

Diluted by violence, alcohol, and drugs

Hyped by images of gangster disguises

Portrayed by the music industry

Hiding behind explicit lyrics

And iced out jewelry

Believing the “good life”

Revolves around smoking blunts

Poppin’ Crys and drinking Hennessey

Like the robes and hoods of the klan

Expensive cars and clothes

Hide there true identity

And dreams are no longer legitimate schemes

But weighed out on triple beams

Success no longer measured by your ability to move people

But rather the ability to push

Grams, O’s, and KI’s

We have

Poem I Wrote While For Iraq, Exactly What Do U Feel?

Question by MaryMary: Do you think buying attire for bridal party is enough of a gift?
I went to the tux rental store with my husband he has three GM and the tuxes were all over 150 bucks and the one he really like was 210 and this is for renting. We were both in sticker shock and decided to think it over.

I went to the outlets today and in one of the suit shops they had a ton on sale Blazers orginally 265 marked down to 55 matching slacks from 119 mark down to 35 dress shirts with ties 19.99 and mens dress shoes from 89.00 marked down to 25.00 for a grand total of this came to a total of 135 ish and i figure the guys would get to keep the suits if they ever needed them for a funeral or weddings or some are business men and wear suits daily. But i didnt want to get them the suits, cause they live out of town, and then ask them to pay me for them so i though it could just be there gift. But is that a fair gift like its something im making them wear? I guess i might be able to spring for like a ten dollar money clip in addition but i definitly cant afford 145 gifts for all
