Fake generation
Gender based violence,crime, childhood pain
fake generation
Human are treated like grass
Easily burned and cut
A generation where killing of a woman
It's juss another sad story
Where womans cry its just another
Broken sound swallowed by dackeness
A generation where crime wears the faces
Of hustlers
Just to feed desperate mouths at home
Where porvety became unwanted roommate.
A generation where life is just a charade
Where respect is conditional
Where substance abuse became comforter of wounded souls
A generation not afraid to strip their parents of dignity
To make their souls naked in shame
A generation where father's turn into beast
Where darkness falls
Stripping homes of safety and innocence of children
What happened to the generation where respect was sacred
May the Lord bless us
And return to our roots
Where truth doesn't get you killed

"Everything is so... flat." Denille said stupidly as she looked around her new neighborhood. She looked around at the muted desert where even the smallest sign of life seemed to have given up. The plant life was shrubs that were half cooked by the heat and where there should have been a lawn, a mess of white rocks laid glistening in the sun. Even the sky looked stretched thin, like the sun had ironed it smooth. She’d moved from Riverside, where at least there were hills, but here in Barstow, everything felt baked and brittle.
