Poem: Gangs

Poem: Gangs

A group of people that come together for a cause.

The cause being a sense of belonging

and a sense of love,

but becomes confused with violence and drugs

and life in the underworld.

Their chaotic home life sent them to the streets,

a place of no limitations

and no authority.

The streets are tough

and full of pain.

They fight to find their place in the world,

literally and mentally.

They define themselves as colors,

their identity to the outside world.

They inflict fear on the people,

commit unforgettable

and unheard of crimes.

They run from the law,

are sought by police,

and feared by people.

Gangs,

a group lost in society.
