Young men of courage and convictions.

poem by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Feb 21, 2018

Young men of courage and convictions,
frequently freely choose to ignore the sound
advice.  Relying on gang membership
to fulfill the emptiness and sense
of brotherhood in their violent young lives.

Knives and guns are their favorite weapons
of massive destruction.  Killing people
for pleasure or profit is their only
mission in life.

 Killings of honor and revenge are
their rules of the road.  Gang life
means carrying a heavy load. Death
and the grave are awaiting them,
and their innocent victims.

Love as always,
Roxanne Lea Dubarry
