So many juveniles are sitting behind bars.
When I asked why your reply was murder,stealing and jacking cars
It's more then that but the world is to blind to see.
This is more then just a game, this is reality.
Molested by "family" when he was just five.
Mother died, At twelve he was left alone to survive.
His father has been in prison since he was just three.
Raised in foster families not knowing who he would be.
Rejected by his family so he joined a gang.
He needed some one that he could claim.
His gang was his family.They showed him love and cared.
In any confrontation they were there.
They taught him the things he needed to withstand life.
Helped and guided him through all his strife.
He did what they told him, he jacked a car
but he is behind bars because he's emotionally scared.
Who is to blame for this persecuted teen?
Not his family or the schools but society as a team.

much that you refuse to

saddest summary of a
life contains three
descriptions:
could have,
might have,
and should have.

I had a long talk with a child-man, one time and this poem will give me the guts to put it on the net.
This has an introspect of ?? our little brothers and sisters, on the street. living from day to day much less heart break to so on. The world seems oblivious to this ?? atrocity.
Thank you, for this.
Joel.

 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

J_A_F~ I agree to a certain degree, it isn't always the young persons fault......then again, even in really good homes, where there are two loving parents that set an excellent example, the child decides to do what they want to.....society is a major fault here.... but not always. Two wrongs don't make it ok. This is a great poem.-SEA

I agree with sea on this one, but good points raised all the same!!

very astute analysis of the human condition the people i believe you should fear are those who have no reason for the crimes or whose crimes are unnoticed the psychopaths these are who i fear.

  Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

Glad i could help joel.

I know things vary but most kids behind bars have had some type of emotional problem (most likely bad) happen to them and a "good home" isn't always what it appears to be.
