The world looks and sees a kid
The world sees a kid
Livin` in the inner city
The world sees a kid
Surrounded by sin
The world sees a kid
Tainted by sin
The world sees a kid
Up to no good
The world only knows
Whats on t.v, in music and in movies
The world only knows
What it wants to see and what it sees....
Its all wrong
The world stereo-types us
Because of what it sees and where we live
The world thinks it knows us...
It doesn't
The world knows what it sees
On t.v, in movies, music and printed word
The world's too busy seeing whats not here
To see us
A small poem on what the world 'sees' and does not really see. The inner city (against what many think) is not as evil as its shown on t.v, in movies, in music and in the news. Yes, the inner city has problems, but so do the suburbs and rural areas. The news is making a bigger deal about the problems today and how bad its gotten when in fact its been like that all along. The suburbs and rural areas have those problems too, but they have the money to hide them. I'll be posting a lot of poems and I hope they'll help you.
