Modern Day Life poem/ spoken word piece:
I’ve been born in an era
Where love is a crime
Where everything is illegal
When everyone has done time
When money is a blessing
And everyone’s buried in soil
When the world is corrupt
And blood will always boil
When street names mean wars
When colours meant pride
When you think your best friend
Will always stay by your side
The government are criminals
The monarchy is a shamble
When everyone grows up
To drink and to gamble
Young people turn to drugs
Act wasted and get high
Then they don’t realise
How many people always die
Stabbings are frequent
The education system is a Mess
All these young teenagers
Self harming because of stress
Sometimes happy or sad
Angry or depressed
Always getting judged
By how they look and how they dress
Society is so ugly
But lifts its head up proud
They’re happy to be delinquents
To stand out from the crowd
All these wannabe road-man
Acting big and acting hard
When their mum is claiming benefits
And struggling with their yard
No one realises
How times are changing fast
They need to realise quickly
Before they die at last
