Hey my name is Christian
Im here to ask you a guys a question
Why not make a better life and stop your family from reminiscin?


Why mess up your life when you can make it bright?
When you can have your kids and a beautiful wife
But you choose that life, that life where you carry a gun or a knife

Why sell drugs?
Dirty money ain't the answer
Selling drugs, man, you're basically selling out cancer
You shouldn't be out here risking yourself, you should be working until your back hurts
But its okay, your mind tells you to let your gun burst

All these gangbangers and all these kids dying
Stop the shootings,stop the killin, cause all these mothers crying


Broken hearts everywhere, we need to stop the violence
Why do you act up and think it's okay to murder?
Hopefully you think straight or your mindset is better and takes you further before you end up in a jail cell


Trust me, that jail cell is going to feel like hell
Change your actions and make your future bright like the sun, forget the gang life and throw away your gun.


The author's comments:

Something that inspired me to write this slam poem is that I always see young kids dying on the news due to gang violence. I want people to learn that violence is not the answer in life. You can end up in jail and I do not want that to happen to anybody.
