U fight 4 your life every single day

Going about your business

In tha most possible safe way

As you walk the line in the hot sun

U realize they have the power

2 tell you what you've become

U fear 4 your life; U can't make a noise

Cuz they raped your little girls

Stole your boy

They brainwash your boy in 2 what they do

Next thing you know

Your boy is pointin a gun at you

I wrote this poem thinkin about the movie,"Blood Diamond". In the midst of writing it I thought about what is happening in other countries of Africa other than the Sudan. I thought about Uganda and the whole "Invisible Children" situation, Sierra Leone with the diamond situation. There is a whole lot going on over there along with war: disease, poverty, displacement. I don't think i'm done with this poem, though.
