Question: Do you see things, the way they really are!?

Seen It, Mean It

When talking about mean streets
You’re talking the scene
Talking about places
That many ain’t seen
Places where faces
Can cut you in two
Places where races
Can see right through
See if you’re real
Or running a game
Tell if you’re fronting
Just hearing your name
Check what you’re wearing
And tell where you’ve been
The rap that you’re running
Outing you as no friend
The streets see it all
Nothing gets past
Catch all the lost souls
With the spell it will cast
Hear what I say
I know I don’t stutter
When you stand on the curb
You’re one step to the gutter

Such power in your words, and so much comprehension that this is one of the rare universal poems!. By that I mean it is one that is world wide, it touches all humanity, and that is unique!.

I like the shape of the poem; it may not have been intended, but it is like a roller coaster of life!.

YEP,,,,In a blink of an eye anyone could wind up there
I grew up on the wild side ,,Very wild ,,,If not for my wife ,,,We're together since the age of 13 and we're 47 I don't think I would be where I am today if not for her And to this day the 80's & part of the 90's are still a blur
I thank GOD everyday for all we have ,,,,,,,,,,

I try to see things as Black & White>>No gray areas That's where all the trouble is ,,,The Gray areas,,,

The curb is, indeed, the precipice from where one may fall into the gutter!. Like any precipice, it has its dangerous attraction sometimes!. This has a strong impact with words of power and import!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
