Where Have All the Children Gone? | Renee' Drummond-Brown
They left the womb
GROWN
And
All alone
Long time passing
Aimlessly
They roam
To and fro
Texting
Becomes ‘their’ god(s)
Social media
Front Row
Center
And
None other than
Tweeting
Facades’
Communication’s
‘HARD’
Politics???
Well ‘ya’ know
Non-existent
For ‘dat’
Freedom riders ‘plight’
The right to vote???
Hmmh
‘Deeze’ kids???
Want None o’ ‘dat’
Right.
‘Day’ only want the ‘WRITE’
To ‘WRITE’
Text messaging
Mid flight
Where have all the children gone?
They’re lost in iPhone zones
Dedicated to: Somebody call 911
