[bodytext] => Society wants me dead,but the streets keep me breathing,regardless how you feel about me,get use to it,cause I'm not leaving

They aim for my heart,cause I bring the darkness to their light,I'm the knowledge from the streets invading their ingorance,I bet they thought I wouldn't ever be so bright.
Keep closing your eyes,but you won't ever escape what I bring to the table,I left the hood and I brought the truth with me,so yes,I'm willing and very able.
I know how you feel about me,so just cut the ******** and give me your best shot,its gonna take thunderbolts from the heavens above to make this soldier drop.
You turned your back on me,just because I came from the slums,but you can't no longer silence me,how can you silence the bullet from the gun?
Don't get me twisted,I aint talking about killing you,please your not even on my level,you still think your high and mighty,but you know you can't live without the devil.
Sooner or later my poems will be put into a book,then what are you gonna do,after my knowledge gets you hooked?
Most of the great scholars were killed before they even had a chance to live their vison of peace,so it wouldn't surprise me if they tired to bring my voice to a halt,nah but they can't seize,at least not me.
If it wasn't for the streets,I wouldn't of been speaking these words,and if you believe that I will criticize you,like you do me,well thats just absurd.
I open the eyes of those who seem to be blind,I bring the harshness of reality to them,but trust me,I'm only being kind.

Society does want me dead,but the streets,the streets keep me breathing,so **** what they think,get use to it,cause I ain't leaving.

Very good, very impressive.

People fear reality. They will do whatever it takes to hide from it. That is why people can treat you with aggression if you speak the truth.

I liked this a lot. We are too few and far between.

i love the subject here, very interesting and quite original - fact or fiction, it matters not.
however i got the feeling that you were pushing to make it rhyme, instead of focusing on your message. i don't know, but for me that seemed to take a little of it's potential away.
in all, i really like it, and there are many lines in here that i just went 'wow' to, lol.
keep it up :)

Good stuff. My favorite types of poems come from personal experience. Whether they deviate into a fantasy world after that or whether they remain in something more substantial and mundane, the reality of life is still a great base for poetry.

Your personal experiences are things limited only to you, but sharing them effectively with others is what has been accomplished here.

Nicely done, you remind me of another poet I know coming from the streets. It is well written, it's honest and real . Life aint easy, and you're poem proves it!

Regards
