ACTING LIKE WHAT WE CALL OURSELVES
by: David W. Johnson, Jr.

So sad, how we view ourselves in the Twenty-First Century
We rather refer to one another and ourselves in vulgar terms
Talking to one another like prisoners in a jail or penitentiary
The way society view us, our negativity and language confirms

What is there positive about our pants hanging off and cursing?
Think police do not know why young people are buying blunts
Instead of going forward, our Children are rapidly regressing
Like circus entertainers, for others amusement we do stunts

Many adults will not help but so quick to criticize those who are
Our schools are in deplorable conditions and what are we doing?
We are playing Keno, hanging on the corners or at a local bar
The terrible problems children are facing could be our undoing

Baltimore Maryland has a few good, informative radio stations
WEAA-FM, at Morgan State tried to keep the public informed
By letting citizens know how to improve on children’s education
Trying very hard to surpass those who rather we stay, uninformed

Once adults are informed, they must put that information to use
Right now for too many of us, information is falling on deaf ears
Thanks to adults lack of concern children suffer uneducated abuse
Things happening to children today are enough to bring you to tears

Unfortunately, tears will not change things but a call to action will
We must stop behaving as though we are our own worse enemy
Sure, I agree there are some of us who most definitely fit that bill
Like Batman’s Joker, such people are our children’s archenemy

If adults stop calling one another the “n” word, so would children
Women are not “b’s” but great gifts to Men, Children and the World
All it takes to turn things around is for all of us to become friends
To become a great Man or Woman one must be a great boy or girl

Every low-down disgusting thing we can think of, we call one another
Many so-called parents are treating their children like stock on shelves
Males making babies then leaving them to be raised by only a mother
Only thing I can say, we are “Acting Like What We Call Ourselves”

Stop and Start Saving Children
