I am a poet from Wichita Ks, I wrote a book called Fire Child: Poetry Coming From the Heart of a Black Woman.
If you like real shit Check it out! www.rosedogbookstore.com, look for Latashia Edmond. This is a poem that will be in my new book.THE STREETS:They walk the streets like zombie’s
Searching for another dollar.
Why bother talking sense to them-
When they are in their dark corner.
I won’t blame the hustler, they have to
Make their money too.
I blame the pipe-
And the flame
That gives it life.
The crack game will make you rich-
Or it will take your life.
And if your not careful
It will be you walking
The streets at night.
