after the trayvon verdict

there were vibrancy of disbelief

as if they were watching a horror flick

it was frightening

how a young black male was killed

and the killer walked

that was a travesty in itself

i get it

what i find more profound

is how people want to start a revolution

come on now-bunch of hot garbage

how can anyone start a revolution

when no one takes care of issues 

in their own communities 1st

where drugs are like the mta-24 hour non stop service

drug dealers continue to kill people with poison

but yet you know the drug kingpin on the block

but don't want to say because i'm not a snitch

shootings continue to be rampant

like people killing each other purchasing flat screen tvs during black friday

young girls continue to be lost souls

that falls in the arms of an older cat

whose rap sheet is longer than my arms

before people start ranting about a revolution

take care of what is going on in your own neighborhood

before taking care of other neighborhoods

that's like you loving somebody

but not yourself

revolution is a movement

but unless people change themselves

then nothing happens
