It isn't by choice that you do stuff that is whack. It is simply your only line of attack. If there were better options you wouldn't sell crack.

Growing up poor where you don't know where your next meal is coming from is thought to not exist in the United States. Somehow they never see the bad side of town and think, "How Could I Help?" They just act like it doesn't exist. They act like kids and families are not starving. Far too often it is folks that are working and trying to do the best that they can. Wages are not enough to make ends meet.

I grew up on the bad side of town and somehow escaped to find a brighter future but it is super hard to do. I'm hopeful that steemit and websites that pop up like it can give some people an opportunity that otherwise they never would have had.

Thank you for sharing your poetry. I think everyone can learn something from it no matter what their background is or where they are from.
