girl you got some gold
by the way, can i get a benjamin?
I saw a new soul
down on the corner
round up the street
lookin like dey tryin to get chose
but on the real,
how 'bout you and me?
I can show ya bettah than
I can tell ya,
baby game's sold not told
I'll teach ya everything
I need to learn
but damn girl you fine
when you look mad
are those marks on your face?
quiet type wit da mean look, huh?
so you already knocked down the door
of the hard school
time for you to graduate
i can make you a star the way
those hips undulatin...

...and off she went.
Never looked back.
Diploma in hand,
World in her pocket.
Or is it a mattress on her back?
Don't bother to show her the err
Of her ways,
She only hears
"I'm about to get paid!!"

Sunshine can not bleach
The snow,
Nor time unmake what
Poets know.

My, my, my Kynder.  This is so real...I could HEAR it, not just read it.  Even now, somewhere, on some street, this poem is being played out....and the results are always the same.  A masterpiece, K.  Hardrock

Whew, even half asleep, I can feel that right through my bones.  So cruel to mislead the youg ones lie that, And all we can do is support, rather than judge
Now thats you and me and Hardrock and Spitfire that wrote abioout this subjest, It does bear discussing, I think.
keep writing

Wow Kynder!! The raw truth here!! I can feel the cold and dampness of the street....Images of the thieves in the night, stealing the innocence..Excellent work!!!

The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose...--Hada Bejar
